A LITTLE LESS THAN LOVED
To be little less than loved;

To be little less than loved;
o empty hearts the wide world over,
Have you not often thought Of this
While waiting for the one true lover?
To be little less than loved,
To have all friendship and all honor,
Yet miss that one kind, tender hand
Which sets a woman's crown upon her.
To love little less than love,
When one could make one heart the glad
dest,
Or be little less than loved
Dear heart, know not which is saddest.

*We mark 1887 with a star

Ten thousand thanks to those
who helped to crowd the year

Accept our most hearty good
wishes and cordial congratula-

The impetus given by the
great current of events dashing
through last year carries us for
ward to attempt larger things
for the new year.
1888 shall be indeed a leap

In this lightning age we can
not rest on past achievement or

The new year was usher ed in rs usual
last Saturday night by the ringing Of
church bells, footing Of horns, etc. Watch
meetings were held in several Of the
churches. The noise on the streets was
not as loud as usual, on account of the
rain that fell all night and continued all
day Sunday, taking away nearly all the
snow that had fallen Saturday. The water
overflowed the pavements and in some
places was more than an inch in depth,
causing very sloppy walking and prevent
ing many from attending church during
the day. Sunday night it began to grow
colder and contin ued to do so, until by
noon Monday it was exceedingly cold. A
strong wind blew all Monday afternoon,
making it much colder. Quite number
took advantage of the snow still on the
ground to 60 sleigh-riding Monday, but
the snow had been nearly all taken away
by the steady rain, and the sleighing was
rather poor, except in places where the
ground was covered with ice, where sleighs
slipped along smoothly. The cold wealth
er, too, was rather sharp for pleasant
sleighing. In town, the banks and post
Office were closed, but nearly all the bust
ness places were open all day long. Very
few New Year calls were made. This GUS
tom, however, has not been generally OBJ
served on previous years. In the evening
the Welsh Prize Singers gave an entertain
ment in the Opera House, which was not
largely attended. There was very little
drunkenness in town either on New
Years eve or on Monday.
