It is a wise philosophy which says
that, ITO the young the years speed not
fast enough; to the old they are too
short" The young, in the closing
hours of the dying year, plan ambi-
'tiously for the new; the old watch the
losing hour half with fear and muse
n yer the past while they seriously CON
template the events of the future. But
let us all stop just long enough in the
few closing hours of this the old year
to contemplate the past, its fortunes
and misfortunes, its joys and its griefs.
If we are wise, if we learn from that
grim teacher, experience, the old year
will not be without its lessons to one
and all Of us. As we stand here by
the funeral bier of old 1891 we pause
long enough to remember the good and
bad of the three hundred and sixty
five days now gone forever in the abyss
of time. Have you met with successes?
Have you stopped long enough to
know the reason of such success?
Have you met with misfortune? Did
you profit by it or are you plunging
bhndly on regardless of some lesson
you should have learned thereby?
Have you performed some low, mean
and contemplate act in 1891 which
you are now ashamed of? If so, now
is the time to resolve to do better! in
fact, this is the period, the switching
off time, when we should all, each and
every one of us, resolve that 1892 will
find us better, nobler and purer than
we have ever been in the past. If we
resolve this and perpetuate ourselves
to the rigid and strict performance of
duty there is somebody who will profit
through our existence and the world
will be better off that we have lived in
it. AS we start out in 1892 the CARBON
ADVOCATE wishes for all Happy New
Year with an abundance of prospesity
good health and plenty.

II THERE is ANY TRUTH whatever in
the appended paragraph, it might be
a very good thing put it into practise
in this county, and perhaps it would
have the tendency to break up the
practice of sending, petty, nonsensical
cases to court at the expense of the
county: "a Northampton county jury
on Tuesday rendered a novel verdict.
After finding the defendant not guilty
Of the charge, the costs were divided
into four equal parts. The presecutriX
was directed to pay one-fourth, the
defendant one-fourth, the constable
who made the arrest one-fourth, and
the justice of the peace who made the
return one-fourth."

When Napoleon was First Consul of

Cabinet at the Tuileries and found a
large map unrolled upon the ,rpet and
Napoleon stretched upon it, moving pins

Having conducted the maneuvers to a
successful termination, Napoleon locked
