Rams Horn Philosophy.

Tomorrow Is the FOOLS seed time.
A good opportunity is seldom met in
q beaten track.
1t is hard to kill sin that appears
to pay well.
A doubter is always dodger and .
hider from the truth.
More good advice would be taken IL
it were given in good way.
Many very good-looking people are
deformed on the inside.
A bad day docs not always begin
with dark morning.
A loafer in the church Is rs worthless
as he is anywhere else.
II some parents would laugh more
their children would weep less.
Many boy has been ruined by be.
ing patted on the head-at the wrong
time.
Whenever the devil sees TEAL good
man he sets about making dozen
hypocrites.
Two people praying the same prayer
from the heart always raises commo.
ton in heaven.
Tho devil knows that the only way
he can starve Christian Is to first get
MIN 10 DOUBT Tod.
Going security for friend Is ono OF
! the -w.yy. IN which mach learning .,aE
generally be had quickly.
Let the preachers get the children
now, and in the next generation the
church will have the masses.
Every preachers ambition is to have
a big congregation. but God Is more
concerned about having united hearts.
The less preacher knows the Lord
the more he depends upon his head in
the preparation Of his sermons
One trouble with the church Is that
there are not enough people in il who
are being prosecuted for righteousness
sake.
Angels can tell about how much
religion you have by tho amount Of
rain II takes to keep you at home from
prayer-meeting.

TO THE OLD AND NEW YEAR.

Old Year. now what hast thou taken from me?
!arry moment, for fain woul | see.
Times mystic ocean, thou'r rt hasting to swell,
Differs from earth's with its storm-brcathing
knell;
Winds never gather and touehen IL DER.
Tides never rise on the dim. misty shore:
Neyera bilow its hanks will o'erilow--
Fnirer and softer - outlines will grow.
In thy reccsses, nll covered from sight,
Much has been hiddcn,-the dark and the
light.
Quick! thou art sinking, and deepis thy grave;
Leave me the record-'tis all can savel
Kinder thou hast been than some OF thy kin;
Dealing more gently. my favor did'st win.
Still not moment that thrilled me with bliss
Never twilight though marked with u kiss;
Never q morning OF brightness and dew
Wilt thou roll backward to gladden. my view.
Friends that cherished have loosened their
grasp:
Fffor:- have perished. or paled. in thy clasp.
Pain thou has taken, and sorrow and sin
Cover them deeply. o cover them In.
Smiles thou hast gathered, and pleasures and
sighs-
Old Year, you're welcome! We bid you Good
bye.

A PLOT AGAINST LIBERTY.

/ PARIS, Dec. oi.--The statement in
the dispatches Friday afternoon that
the ministry have evidence that the
present attack on the government is
part of an organized plan for the over
throw of the republic and that each
step taken is carefully discussed in ad-
vance by the plotters against the con-
stitution is fully confirmed, and the
evidence has arrived at that stage that
the government is prepared to arrest
certain OF the conspirators against
whom there Is sufficient evidence. M.
Andrieux is regarded rs the manager of
the plot against the r~cnhlic. and he
will probably be arrested today.
lie Steele STATES today that the gov
crnment has proof of Boulangist con-
spiracy To effect revolution. involving
the same plotters as conspired for the
destruction of the republic i'm 1883.
From other sources it is learned that
even more vigorous measures will be
taken now than in lsss and that Presi-
dent Carnot and his ministers will show
the same energy in putting down the
treason of the imperialist and rovalist
plotters as was shown in putting down
the anarchist riots in the early part Of
the year.

Linger and linger. In harbors unknown.

Sometimes In slumber dream they are hero.

Many and many n moment has flown
While have waited and watched for sign
That they were coming TO bless me and mine.

Where have buried some things that were

What il the mounds with my tears still are
wet
Wilt thou not dry them and help me forget?
May not look IN thy casket to see
Some Of the gems thou art bringing TO meY
Some of the dear ones who love me are sad
Dring ye u balm that will heal aud make glad2
