leaves all mpedimenta in the rear, and
relies for its safety upon its ability 10
move with sufficient rapidity and force
TO overcome obstacles. An old-time

there as genius IN knowing what to
discard as well as what 20 keep: and
both these are the invariable possessions
Of successful and efficient life. No
man OF conscience can forget his aims:
40 man Of Judgment can forget his
mistakes: but lie does not carry them
with hun. What he does carry in the
experience which has come 10 him
through them--the strength, the wis

brought or what they have taken away
A mans real Lille is always before
him: the past Is only valuable for what
We can learn from IL. The days fade
from all distinct recollection because
these artificial divisions OF time are of
no consequence except as character has
grown or degenerated in them. A
mans greatest achievement, once ac-
complished, begins Immediately to re-
cede and become less and less in his
eyes. No really great man has ever re-
posed on anything which he has done
there has always been the consciousness
that lac was greater than any expression

real satisfaction and JOY OF his life lay,
not in the work. but in the doing OF H..
One task succeeds another. one expert
ence follows another, in endless success
sion, a mans work ID never finally done,
because his life is always expan ding;
aud the time will never come when this
law of progression will cease to operate.
There can be no heaven which is not a
heaven of development. 1t isa great
waste OF strength 10 make ones faults
and blnnders and sin mpedimentai in the
onward march. There is no virtue in
continually bemoaning the misdoings OF
the past. Real repentance Is not lamen-
tation, but girding up the loins for tile
work OF explaton. Let the dead old
wear bury its dead: leave behind the de
pressing memories of failure and defeat
while you carry their lessons in youI
heart. Your real life is not behind, but
before You; Ii is the new year and not
the old which is your opportunity. =

TO REV. .ANDMRs. JONES.

A telegram from his brother at
Chicago on Friday announced the
wrecking of the overland train in Ne
braska on which Rev. and Mrs
Henry w. Jones, late of this place,
were passengers. The telegram read
that both these people were unin-
jured, but that their baggage was
burned. The following despatch APP
peared in the daily press
SIDNEY, Neb., Jam 9.-The fast mail
on the Union Pacific road was
wrecked near here about daylight
this morning by a broken rail. The
two mail cars and the baggage car
were burned. Most of the mail and
all of the baggage and express mat
ter was DESTROYED The passengers
managed to get out of the sleepers in
their night clothes. Some of them
were bruised badly but none seriously
hurt. The sleepers were badly burned.
Baggage Master Dobbins was Sc
riously injured.
Further intelligence is awaited
with anxiety Besides the serious
loss of all their baggage, to be turned
out of a sleeper half clad in the dead
of winter is no light matter for peo-
pie in robust health, while for those
in the condition of Mr.. and Mrs
Jones such an experience is with
peril. They were on their way to
their home in Vacaville, California
Since the above was in type the
following particulars have been re-
ceived: The train jumped the track
a half mile east of Sidney at half
past six in the morning. Mr.. and
Mrs. Jones were in the sleeper next
the baggage car. Mrs. Jones was
slightly bruised over left eye by being
thrown from berth. Mr.. Jones was
bruised and lamed in left thigh. He
thinks no permanent harm will
come from either injury. No one
was much hurt, though all the cars
except the rear sleeper and dining
car were wrecked and burned Mr.
JOnes' three trunks were burned,
though happily one trunk had gone
ahead. Mr.. Jones expresses himself
as too thankful to mourn losses,
great as they will prove. Doubtless
the destroyed trunks contained
numerous treasured articles obtained
during his recent excursion to Eu-
rome

My knuckles, jaws and both elboes,
And all my muscles, they ache tough
My teeth sore,

And SOS my Tongue,
My kidneys, too,
My spleen and heart
All feel though they'd fall apeart.

But when the grippe takes hold of you
You're not so apt-by haugh!

Il PLEA FOR PATHS.

Dear Caledonian AS you always
take the side of the weak and op-
pressed, please allow an 'unprotect-
ed female a little space in your pa
per. AS one of the army of those
who have to work for living, walk
ing quite distance to and from my
work, | would petition the trustees
to appoint road-master who will
plow out the sidewalks before we
pedestrians have to tramp through
and tread down the snow. This
forenoon, for instance, a heavy fall of
snow came. Noon-time came also,
and a thousand people, both men
and women, had to wade out for
their dinner. If Mr. Russell cannot
plow out the paths during a snow
storm, let some woman be appointed
in his place Yours for reform,
