Il SHAGGY NEWSBOY.
BY ALLEN G. IIGELOW.

The railroad ran along one side of a
beautiful valley in the central part of
the great State of New York
| l stood at the rear end of the train,
| looking out of the door, when the en-
| glneer gave two short, sharp blasts of
the steam whistle. The conductor,
who had been reading a newspaper
in seat near me, arose, touched my
shoulder, and asked if l wanted to
see real country newsboy - l, of
course answered Yes" So we step
ped out ON the platform OF the car.
The conductor had folded up his
paper in a tight roll, which he held
in his right hand, while he stood on
the lower step of the car, holding on
by his left.
L saw him begin to wave the paper
just as we swung around a curve in
the track, and a neat farmhouse came
into view away off across an open
field.
Suddenly the conductor flung the
naper off toward the fence by the side
of the railroad, and l saw black,
shaggy form leap quite over the fence
from the meadow beyond it, and
alight just where the newspaper,
after bounding along in the grass, had
fallen beside a tall mullen stalk in an
angle of the fence.
1t was big black dog. He stood
beside the paper, wagging his tail
and watching us, as the train moved
swiftly away from him. Then he
snatched the paper from the ground
i'll his teeth, and leaping over the
fence again, away he went across the
fields toward the farmhouse
When we last saw him, he was
mere black speck, moving over the
meadow, and then the cars rushed
through deep cleft in the hillside,
and the whole scene passed from our
view.
What will he do with the paper %
l asked of the tall young conductor.
Garry it to the folks at the house."
he answered
rs that your home % l inquired.
YES" he responded my father
lives there, and send him an after
noon paper by Carlo every day in the
way you have Gen."
Then they always send the dog
when it is time for your train to
pass ?''
No" said he, "they never send
him. He knows it is time for the
train, and comes over there to meet it
of his own accord, rain or shine,
summer Or winter
But does Carlo not go to the
wrong train sometimes ?" asked,
with considerable curiosity.
Never, sir He pays no attention
to any train but this
How can a dog tell what time it
is, so as to know when to go to meet
the train? ~ asked again.
That is more than l can tell
answered the conductor ''but he is
always there and the engineer wins
ties to call my attention, for fear 1
should not get out on the platform
till we had passed Carlo"
$50 Carlo keeps watch of the time
better than the conductor himself,"I
remarked, 'for the dog does not need
to be reminded"
The conductor laughed, and l won
dered, as he walked away, who of my
young friends. of whom l have great
many, would be as faithful ali the
year round as Carlo, who never miss
ed the train. although he could not
tell time by the clock. "-Deaf-Mu

Il NEW YEAR.

Di "hhHhnLl e.. oAN1SIhh.
Why do we greet thee o blithe New Year?
What art the pledges of mirth and cheer?
CONTEST knight-errant, the wrong to right,
CONTEST to scatter our gloom with light?
Wherefore the thrill, the sparkle and shine,
In heart and eyes at a word of thine?
The old was buoyant, the old was true;
The old was brave when the old was new. ,
He crowned us often with grace and gift;
His sternest skies had deep blue rift;
Straight and swift when his hand unclasped, ,
With welcome and joyance thine we grasped
0, tell us, Year-we are fan to know
What is thy charm that we hail thee so?
Dost promise much that is fair and sweet
The winds low stir III the ripping wheat
The waves soft splash on the Sandyhoor,
The bloom of roses from shore to shore,
Glance OF wings from the bowery nest,
Music and perfume from east to west,
FroSts to glitter and jeweled rhine,
Blush of sunrise at mornings prime,
Stars above lis their watch to keep,
And rain and dew though we wake or sleepf
These, Year, we shall have of thee,
For the thing that hath been aye shall be.
Sowing and reaping from seed to sheaf,
The waiting long and the fruitage brief,
What beyond is thy guerdon bright
To us who stand in thy dawning light?
Canst drop a balm into sorrows heart
Till the aching wound forgets to smart
Canst comfort the mother when tempests beat
On mound with stones at head and feet?
Canst I'LL with courA':e the weary soul,
And give the penitent bliss for dole?
Thus other years HI We been rich in grace,
Have dried the tears on the furrowed face.
Oh, day by day, and from sun to sun
Wilt thou, good Year, do what they have donei
whisper, such as an angel drops
When ever Graded babe he stops,
1t says: "Oh, never to grief or pain,
To anguish or yearning, loss or bane,
Hath any such case to bring as Time.
Listen, how softly my joy-bells chime"
So out of the Winter and through the snow,
The New Years promises flash and glow.
Once more a voice, and hear it call
Like bugle note from a mountain wall;
The pines uplilt it with mighty sound,
The pillows bear it the green earth round;
A voice that rolls Il jubilant song,
A conqueror'S ring in its echo strong;
Through the ether clear, from the solemn sky
The New Year beckoils and makes reply:
II bring you, friends what years have brought
Since ever men toiled, aspred or thought
Days for labor and nights for rest
And bring you Love, Il heayen-bOrn guest;
Space to work in and work to do,
And faith in that which is pure and true.
Hold me in honor and greet me dear,
And sooth you'll find Inc u happy Year"

NEW YEARS. GIFTS IN CHINA.

The custom OF giving presents. and
| particularly that of exchanging New
Year calls, is essentially Chinese. The
| coincidence of these two rather pecu-
liar acts of brotherly love cocks ting
| in Holland and Scotland should fur.
nish cause for thought. 1t is a little
singular, certainly, that the Chinese,
| who are not an over charitable or for
giving race, should epioin the forgive
ness Of all debts ut the beginning of
| the new year.
1t is an amusing spectacle il China
| town to see the creditor mercileSSly
hunting down the debtor during the
| few days that remain. No one is eX-
| empt from the necessity, for in order
to pay his own deb's he must in turn
collect What IS due - him. The debt

much sincerity rs conIl BE expected
under the circdm tan Is.
Besides the painful phase of Chin

1t is quite customary, also, to bring
| these red paper slips to the joss
house, where for Il trifling fee they
are stamped with the seal of the joss.
Certainly it is worth taking some
