New Years Resolve.
Puck.

As the dead year is clasped by adead Decernb Der.
So let your dead sins with your dead days lie.
A rev life is yours, and hope Remember
We build our own ladders to climb to the sky.
Stand out IN the sunlight of promise, forgetting
Whatever your past held of sorrow wrong:
We waste half strength in a useless regretting;
We sit by old tombs in the dark too long.
Have you missed in your aim? Well, the mark is still
shining;
Did you faint in the race WE'LL take breath for the
next
Did the clouds drive you back? But yonder their
lining;
Were you tempted and felll Let it for text.
AS each year hurres by let it join that procession
OF skeleton shapes that march down to the past
While you take your place Id the line of progression
With your eyes the heavens, your face to the
blast.
I tell you the future can hold no terrors
For any sad soul while the stars revolve
If he will but stand firm the of his errors,
And instead of regretting, resolve, re-resolve!
It is too late to begin rebuilding,
Though all into ruins your life seems hurled.
For look! how the light of the year is gliding
The worn, face of the bruised old world.

CHILDREN'S READING,

The reports of proceedings of the State
Teachers Association indicate that the meet
ing this season differed in many particulars
from preceding ones. Though there was.
necessarily, prearranged programme, the adj
herence to it was less strict than usual, and
there was less of the perfunctory performance
of duty among those to whom topics had been
assigned for discussion. Instead of the dull
ness and heaviness which had too often
characterized these gatherings general in
terest and animation were observed, live,
subjects were treated in practical way, ex
pressions of opinion from members who are
commonly silent were frequent, and the ses-
sion must have been both entertaining and
profitable to all in attendance.
Several causes have probably combined to
effect this change, but the chief one is that
the teachers of Indiana are progressive, wide
awake, ready to consider new ideas and capa-
BILE of originating them. 1t was impossible
that so earnest and intelligent body of men
and women should long continue in the rut
in which custom and an injudicious manage
ment of affairs had placed them. Having as
sembled to consider matters pertaining to
their profession, it was inevitable that they

selves to the actual advancement of school in

The Secret of Balzac,s Life.

Edward Holden. in Scribners Magazine.
There is period in the life Of almost every per-
son when heaven seems near, and when all
vision is clairvoyant 1t comes to most a
feeting phase of love; and it vanishes before the
first breath of amour propre in men or of vanity
in women. To some it is given to prolong this
period through long years or through their lives
These are the happy few, to whom Stendhal has
dedicated of his books. Religion, in some
natures gives the same power; and 1t is even bet
ter fitted to give it, in general, since religion
begins by casting out the great destroyers of all
spiritual life vanity and the love of self Should
we disclose the secret of Balzac if we
said that he also of the happy
few" that it given him to prolong the Wis
ion of that 'attachement de premiere je
unesse" of which he spoke of but once, through
long years of persistent labor2 Would this give
the ex PLANTATION of his preaching and of his prac-
tice of absolute chastity which astounded and
perpexed his shamef faced friend, and even
seemed incredible to his skeptical sisterl Is

THE PAPAL JUBILEE.

The fftieth anniversary of the entry into
the priesthood of his Holiness, the Pope, will
be observed to-day throughout the world by
the adherents of the papacy. The most elab
crate preparations for the event have been
made in Rome, and there the ceremonial will
be gorgeous and imposing. At the time of
the death of Plus, Cardinal Pecci became
Pope by the almost unanimous consent of the
church, and events have proved the wisdom
of the choice. He has shown himself to be
politician of no mean order, and the relations
of the Vatican with the powers are better in
every way than they were when the scepter
or the crook-whichever it may be-dropped
from the nerveless fingers of the queruous
prisoner of the Vatican" Leo has also
shown much wisdom as the spiritu al head of
the church; and especially in what has been
done, under his reign, to meliorate
church spirit and church administration,
as, for instance, in the action of
the Baltim ore council in this country, he has
displayed good judgment. Latterly there
have been a few indications of reactionary
tendency in the Pontiff, which, for the good
of the church and of his ecclesiastical domin-
ion, ought to be at once repressed. The talk
of re storation of the temporal power is vain;
the graspng after temporalties, papal army,
and the prerogatives of crown, is the child
ish clutch for evanished shadows or for
attractive moonbeams. If Leo will abandon
all that, and devote his great abilities and I'M
questioned skill to the spiritual development
of the church over which he presides, he will
go into history as one of the greatest Popes
who ever filled ST. Peters chair-great in
that he recognized the inevitable, and put the
Papacy in harmony with the advancing
thought and liberalism of the age.

TEE DAY FOR RESOLUTIONS.

TEE DAY FOR RESOLUTIONS.
1t used to be the fashion for people not
altogether satisfied with themselves to make
the New Year starting point for an improve
ment of morals, manners and the general con-
duct of life. On the first day of the year
they formed good resolutions, they turned
over a new leaf" 1t is now the fashion to
speak derisivey of the New Year resolutions
and bold, indeed, is the man who voluntarily
makes himself the target for the wit of
amateur and professional humorists by con-
Tossing to have formed them. The old Gus
tom, however, was good one and worthy of
revival. In the business world the last of the
year is made a time for the balancing of books,
the reckoning of profits and losses and the
laying out of programme which shall bring
better results at the close of the next
annual round. The same operation can
be as effectively performed at any other
season, but the new year is a convenient
milestone and the natural tendency to date
changes and reforms from that time has
become custom so fixed that the CONNER
cial world is governed by it. 1t is proceed
ing equally natural for an individual to take
a mental and spiritual inventory on reaching
one of life's measuring posts, and to resolve
upon remedying such deficiencies as he may
observe. There is something in the opening
of the year that inclines to hopetulness and
rosy views of the future; reforms planned
then seem easy of accomplishment difficulties
vanish, and the straight and narrow path
stretching ahead is rather attractive than
otherwise. The decision to follow it without
turning into by and forbidden roads is readily
made. To be sure, it is easily broken, but
what of that9 The start is made in the right
direction, and that is something. CONNER
cial schemes, put into operation with the
beginning of the year, fail, but the
merchant does not, therefore, refrain from
new ventures and enterprises another year,
nor is he jeered at because of the miscarriage
of his plans. The same good sense and toler-
alton should be used in regard to the man
who resolves TO oe more temperate more
patient, more kind, more honest, and fails to
become a saint at the first effort. There is
no reason why he should not repeat those
resolutions again and again. The mere effort
to live up to ideal is productive of good,
even though the aspirations not realized.
New Years resolutions, as a step toward the
best, should be made, even though they are
likely to be broken. The New Year is time
of anticipation, of hope, of brightness, and
cheer; the old year had its trials and defeats
the new will bring better fortune; the old was
sad, the new has Joy in store. 1t is the season
TO be merry, and hopeful, and sanguine. 1t
is the time for turning over new leaves if the
old have grown dingy and blurred. 1t is the
time to step out of the ruts and walk in new
paths. 1t is the time when the world starts
afresh, and when the best wishes that can be
offered are that hopes, and plans, and aspira-
tons may be realized, that happy dreams may
come true; and these are the wishes that the
journal extends to all.

the great Mississippi Valley, its we'll
balanced relation to all parts of the
country producers, consumers, buyers,
and sellers, and its admirable system
of railroad connections are advantages which
change of business conditions destroy,
and which will become more apparent and eff
fective from year to year They better
understood and appreciated now than they
were few years ago, and will continue to be
as time passes. Indianapolis is destined to
become great manufacturing center and the
distributing point for an immense area of
country. OF this there can be no doubt. The
foundations of her future prosperity and
growth in this regard are already laid. The
city's Wholesale trade, though steadily in
creasing and extending. will necessarily be
limited in territorial extent; but when it comes
to manufacturing the whole boundless CONT
nent is ours and other continents besides.
Many products of indianapolis factories now
go to all parts of the United States and to
foreign countries, and the number of these
will vastly increase from year to year until
will be known far and wide. Even now more
than one OF our large manufacturing estab-
lishments ship goods to Europe, Asia and
Australia. Others do large business in Can
ada, Mexico and South America. One has
established branch house in Canada and one
in the City OF Mexico These and other prod
ucts G O to every State and Territory in the
Union, and everywhere they advertise the city
by their superior quality and by the prompt
ness of their delivery.
To the other actual advantages Of the city,
and especially affecting the manufacturing
interests, must be added the certain prospect
of natural gas. This new and cheap fuel is al
ready at our doors. Within few days pipes will
reach the city limits with a supply that will
at once and forever remove all doubt on the
subject. For many months we have been
discussing theories and possibilities. Within
a week we shall have an actually in the
shape of abundant supply of natural gas
at the city limits, ready to be supplied to
consumers at the rates fixed by the city
ordinance, and asking for admission to the
city. With natural gas blazing at our very
doors, and roaring at the city limits, its intro
duction cannot be long delayed. For all
practical purposes we may regard it as already
here AS an added advantage to those the
city already enjoys its value cannot be over
estimated. Thatit will give great impulse
to manufacturing, and thus contribute very
largely to the general prosperity of the city,
cannot be doubted. With an unlimited
supply of this best of all fuels, at Ordinance
rates" and with the growth of manufacturing
which this will imply, there is reason to
believe that 1883 will be the most prosperous
year the city has ever known.
