NEW YEAR IS SONG.
Come now vear

Come, new year,
And strew pale roses for thy sisters
bierl
Loves are turned cold that at her birth
leaped high.
When thou art old, thou, too, forgot,
shalt lie,
With all thy golden glories faded, sore.
Come, new year
Sleep, dead year
For denr delights are flown, and days
are drear,
For oh, for oh, bleak lie all tho fields
and bare;
Woe is me = woe-winter is everywhere.
With eyes that see not, ears that never
hear,
Sleep, dead year
Come, new year,
But silently ! Let fall no foolish tear
For cankering care, or grief, or Joy gono
by,
Since all must yield to age and change,
and die.
With past joys cherished, perished days
once dear,
Sleep, dead year,
Sleep, dead year,
Soon on springs breast your violets
shall peer,
Burst from earth s casket for thy pleas
uring,
Purple and gold. her tender treasuring.
Hark the first robin, singing loud and
clear
Come, new yeari

IS IT?

He had a Christmas frolic,
And New Years jamboree,
And when he came unto himself
A sadder man was he.
And if he then made good resolves,
And swore them all by thunder.
You good men who have all been there
Just say if it's wonder.

IN OTHER CHIMES.


MANY LANDs-THE ANCIENT REcK
DINING.
In Mexico, the day, which is really
our 23d of February, is often kept
with many characteristics of an old
fashioned English May day. Young
women, handsomely dressed, dance
around u pole to which are affixed q
number of colored ribbons, and, very
much as the "merry Mayors" of old
did, Intervene these ribbons into
many hued patterns, producing
charming effects. This is symbolic,
when the dancers arc all brought to
the centre by their shortening rib
bons, of the winding up OF the sen.
sons, aud when their dancing draws
them from near the pole, with their
frightening ribbons, the aspect of
the whole lis said to represent the ex-
banding of the seasons. All this is
accomplished to the air of song
generally composed for the occasion,
and the whole exercise is poetic and
graceful.
The Russians mt their New Years
hold feast denominatcd The Fenst
of tho Dead or in the Russian Ian
gunge, "Rnditzli Sabol." On this dny
people visit the graves of their de-
parted friends and place food upon
them. The priests also nttand and
celebrate mass, taking the food left
upon the graves.
The Persian New Year corresponds
to our June, tho Abyssininns' to our
10Th of August, the Greeks make it
Sept 1st, the Chinese date it our
first moon in March, the Turks and
Arabs from the 10Th of July, and our
own red men reckon from the new
moon Of the vernal equinox.
In England the historic year" has
always commenced on the first day OF
Jnuuary, because William tie Con
queror was crowned on that dny.
Historians have always commenced
tho year with the first of January.
though in all civil affairs the ancient
manner OF reckoning from the 25th
OF March was retained until the year
lI52, when by Il statute passed IN
der George III, it was enacted shat
from and after tho lust day of Dccem-
her, 175l, the new year should com
mence on the first day of Janunry."
The celebration of the day is III
SOME respects similar in England to
it's observance in Scotland. 1t ia
customary to hold festive gatherings
on the last day for the purpose
OF "aeeing the new year in" Balls,
parties and family gatherings are the
usual forms of grouping persons in
the sa:ue social scale, while dinner
among persons with old fashioned
ideas arc not unusual. The amuse
ments OF the assembled guests con
tinue in the usual manner until the
approach of the midnight hour, few
minutes before which all festivity is
suspended, and an awful attention
begotten by listening for the first
iron changing of the clocks.
The moment the first stroke falls
upon the ears OF the assemblage n
clasping of hands takes place, all
glasses are raised, and mutual good
wishes AMI toasts are rapidly passed,
succeeded very often by willing but
not always unsteady skilled singing
by all present of "Auld Lang Syne."

THE IMMIGRATION CUES
TON.

The joint Committee on Immigra-
ton OF the Senate and House, not
satisfied with collecting huge vol
nmes of matter relating to immigra
ton and with it's action in reporting
bills for suspendihg it and prevent
ing the predicted introduction of
cholera next year, has decided to
send joint committee to Cuba
during the holidays recess to gather
additional information. The sub.
committee is charged with investi-
eating the character of immigration
from the West Indies and the dan.
ger of contagion from those islands
to this country through Key West.
The allegation that Senator Chand
ler's bill will not prevent immigra-
ton from South America will also be
made the basis for inquiry. The
members of the joint subcommittee
will leave Washington Saturday night
for Tampa, Fla, wherce they expect
to Sail for Key West on Monday. It
consisted of Proctor of Vermont, Du
bois of Idaho, Call of Florida and
Gibson of Maryland, on the part of
the Senate, and OF Messrs. Covert of
New York, Coburn of Wisconsin
and Wright of Pennsylvania, of the
House. Chairman Stump may also
accompany the party, which will be
in charge of Mr.. Valentine, the Ser
geantat-Arms for the Senate.

EQUINE ETChINGS.

Never start horse with whip. The
horse is as susceptible to kind words
and kind treatment as any animal. A
good and careful driver never starts a
horse with a whip. Teach him to start
with the word.
The rivalry between some Of the
foreign countries in regard to which
should purchase the best American trot-
tiers has furnished market for some of
the best trotting stock this country has
ever produced.
The talk around.the stove in Tennes-
see this winter has drifted into match
race to wagon between the gray Guy,
2:11$4, and Roy Wilkes. The wager is
$1,000 on Guy to 500 on the Chicago
horse.
The English and European govern
ments will not buy horse for cavalry
purposes which has been locked, and
officers are not allowed to ride them on
parade, even if they be private property.
More than a dozen Of the mares
booked to Direct this season are dams OF
2:30 performers, so that the little black
fellow will have big chance to show
what stuff he is made off.
Horses for light driving receive en-
tirely too much care in this country.
They are kept too fine and 'babied'' too
much.
Longfellow never got a chestnut Or
sOrrel colt in all his long career in the
stud, and Ten Brock never produced
but one chestnut.
Before purchasing a horse examine
his feet and legs carefully. They are
the parts that bear the strain.
