Wine Out the Score.

Wipe Out the Score.
Soon the year will pass away,
Old and feeble, worn and gray;
But another blithe and gay
Soon appears.
At the foot of Times long stairs,
Let us place our worldly cares,
Joy and sorrow thrives on shares,
Not on tears.
When the funeral task is Ger,
And the old year is no more.
Wipe out It's unsettled score
With smile.
Join the youth who in its stead
Enters with a noiseless tread,
Needless of the cofined dead
In the aisle.
Hand in hand together 60
Where the greenest grasses grow,
Where the purest waters flow
Past the flowers.
Don't look backward with sigh
To the spot where shadows lie.
Sorrows thrive, but JOY will die
On tear showers.
THE midnight bell will hereafter be the clos
ing knell for the city saloons.
ALLEGHENY is to have a Committee of Fifty,
She forgets there's luck in odd numbers.
TIMID people often venture where brave folk
fear to tread, simply because they are blinded
by fear.
THE Recorders Office is full of good deeds
and old and new conveyances.
WHEN you pay your respects you wipe out a
social debt.
A ROUND of New Years calls frequently
makes the callers very dizzy.
If you are the victim of liar you can easily
conjecture where the trouble lies.
WHEN you lose your temper you generally
stamp your foot.
EVERY profession, trade and business carries
a rear guard made up of laggards who are con-
stantly snapping snarling ana crying over their
Door luck, but who never have anything to say
about their poor pluck. But those who keep up
with the procession and lead instead of follow
have no ears for the lamentations of the strag-
glers and when these drop out of line are
not missed by those whose company they kept
or the patient public.
TENNYsoN is well versed man.
BIG FooT has been captured at last. Thus
has Mills performed another great feat.
When 1t VIII Wake Up.
Soon Harrisburg will entertain
The statesman from Wayback,
Who will appear in clothes quite plain,
And tote a huge gripsack.
THE warrior bold of modern times is not al
ways bold warrior.
You can pledge your word. but you must not
expect to get anything on it while money is
tight
mitted to pass bad bills.
WITH the new year comes the Legislature
and all that the word implies.
DON'T Judge the standing of the bank by the
strength and finish of its safes and vault.
ALWAYS well posted-A good fence.
IFNew Year fell on Friday this year the su-
perstitious would be prophesying all sorts Of
disaster.
from Pittsburg to the East End in hired
sleigh.
ONE of the old saws runs:
If Christmas Day Oh Thursday be,
windy winter ye shall see.
It fits to perfection this time.
EDISON is perfecting telephone attach
ment which will do away with the central girls.
Now, If he could invent something to do away
with the attachments between the typewriter
girls and some employers many matrons would
breathe easier.
AN inebriated individual is always wealthy,
for he sees double.
THE girls have transferred the gum from
their mouth to their feet.
THE aristocratic dinner table always appears
in evening dress.
IF you fall while you are carrying ord ers you
cannot break them.
WALLS have speaking tubes as well as ears
nowadays.
A SHARP answer may turn away the hired
girl.
DON'T begin the new year with pain in your
head and bad taste in your mouth.
SoLD ocean always keeps itself tidy.
