We have received from the Maryland Life In.
surance Company, a beautifully illustrated
Almanac.
From the Baltimore Sun couven.
lent useful calendar, containing the hours OF
the risng and setting OF the sun and moon and

DIR. J. e. Aver " Co., the well-known manu-.
featuring chemists Of Lowell, Mass, send us

sized book, embracing editions In English, cal.
culated for the various sections of the United
States, the Dominion of Canada, India, South

other languages. The volume contains, also
specimen pages OF pamphlets issued By the CON-
pany in eleven languages not represented by
the aImanacs, including Greek, Turkish, Armeu.
ian, Chinese, Burmese, and Hawaiian-twenty
one languages in all. From the interesting
preface we learn that no fewer than fourteen
millions of these almanacs are printed yearly,
thus placing tie work far ahead of any other
of the kind In circulation.
One of the finest calendars we have received

twelve colors and gold, from engraved metal

uie Of playing cards. The figures are large and
plain, and on the back of the December sheet is
furnished full commercial calendar for the
years 1889 and 1890, with the consecutive figures
so useful 10 book-keepen and business men

Never does tic prc5Cn, sink 50 much in
point Of interest as ut the period when the
old year and the new seem to touch each
other. Tie past, with its memories both
sweet aud sad, the iutIre, with its hopes and
fears and hidden mysteries, are enough to fill
every mind aud absorb every feeling In
youth, the season OF hope, the thoughts turn
most to the future, but age loves better TO
dwell on by-gOne scenes, to live over past eX
periences. To the majority of people, how
ever, both past and future have at this time
an attraction which they do not commonly
posses 1t is well that this should be SO. In
a simply material point Of view one day does
not differ from another, and the mathemati-
cal divisions Of the calendar cannot invest
either the last or the first day of the year with
any intrinsic sacredness But just as the
mountaineer needs to pause at times in his
ascent not only for rest, but to look back
ward upon the expanded views which his
past efforts have opened up to him. and for
ward with fresh hope to the regions beyond
which await his approach, so do we all need
In which We can do the same and certainly
no time can be more fitting for this than when
we reach the milestone which tells US That
one year is passing away and another COM
Jog into view. We have not too much, but
too little, poetry and sentiment in our every
day life, and We may safely accept the few
breaks that occur, from time TO time, as wei
come seasons for exercising dormant facul-
ties. Let us take heed however. that we
scan wisely both the past and future: there
are ways Of looking at them which are sim
ply enervating and detrimental to future wei
fare and success. To brood over past msfOr-
tunes or mistakes, to despair of ever retriev-
ing them, to indulge in loud lamentations or
secret repinings over what can never be al
tered, is a folly which can only be productive
of evil. There are, of course, heart SORROWS
which pale the check, and sad memories
which dim the eye there are mistakes to be
regretted, and alas sins TO be repented Of :;
but their only mission to us now that they
are past is for our guidance in the future In
30 far as they bring to us lessons of improve
mcnt we may welcome their recollection, but
beyond this They should be laid sadly, per-
baps even reyercutly away. On the con-
trary all that the past year has brought to us
of pure happiness, of rich and varied expert
ence, Of tender affection, should be brought
prominently before the mind Such memoir
les will not only gladden. our hearts and re-
fresh our energies, but when cherished in a
spirit Of thankiulncss, will be germs Of per-
petually Increasing good in the future. The
New Year will be happier and better for
every joyful memory we can carry into it Of
the Old.
