TO THE OLD YEAR.

Good-by. Old Yearl
While others ring
The New Year In, and loudly sing
or what delight and peace twill bring.
Ere the last tolling OF the bell
To the world soundeth thy death-kneh
bid thee now fond farewell
Good-by, Old Year!
Good-by. Old Year.
While others raise
To thy successor hymns or praise,
I'll thank thee for the by-gone days
Many a blessing hast thou brought,
Many q sacred truth hast taught;
Fruitful changes have been wrought
BY thee, Old Year!
Good-by, Old Year!
Should / alone
Remember thee when thou art gone,
I'll thank thee for the good thou'st done.
The world forgets the absent friend;
To each newcomer doth Ii bend,
And casts 1t off when near the end,
Like thee. Old Year!
Good-by, Old Yearl
Dost thou forget
How men WITH JOY thy advent metz
That praise the New Year hath; but yet,
When once again It's reign is Ger,
The world IL may be, as before,
VIII leave me TO say once moro,
Good-by, Old Year!

In the midst of all this excitement

Under the Holly Bouch.

Ye who have scorned each other,
Or injured friend or brother,
In the fast-fading year;
Ye who, by word or deed,
Have made a kind heart bleed.
Come gather here.
Let slnned against and SHINING
Forget their strife's beginning,
And join in friendship now;
Re links no longer broken.
BE sweet forgiveness spoken
Under the holly bough.
Ye who have loved each other,
Sister and friend and brother.
In this fast-fadlng year;
Mother and sire and child,
Young man and maiden mild,
Come gather here;
And let your heart grow fonGer
AS memory shall ponder
Each past unbroken vow;
Old loves and younger woolng
Are sweet In the renewing
Under the holly bough.
Ye who have nourished sadness,
Estranged from hope and gladness,
In the fast-fadlns year;
We with o'erburdened mind.
Made aliens from your kind
Come gather here.
Let not Me useless sorrow
Pursue you night and morrow;
II e'er you hoped, hope now
Take heart, uncloud your faceS,
And join In our embraces
Under the holly bough.

the fireplace.
Jack eyes were so heavy he couldn't
hold them open. He shut them for an in
slant, and when he opened them again it
was Christmas morning.
He sprang from his bed and rushed to
the fireplace. Yes, there hung his stock
ing full and running over, and the table
near by was loaded with gifts.
And, if you were to argue forever, you
could never make Jack believe that there
is no Santa Claus or such things as
fairies.

Canadian Fishc. s Expected More than

President Cleveland Recommends.
According to Victoria, b. c., dispatch
President Cleveland's recommendation to
Congress to pay $423, 900, practically in
full settlement of the claims of Canadian
scalers against the United States, causes
anxious speculation. When it was in
officially stated some months ago that
that amount would be paid il was under
stood to be merely for claims presented
TO the Paris tribunal arising out of the
seizures in Behring Sea during 1886,
1887. and 1889. there having been none in
1888. About 100000 was the amount of
claims on this account. Canadian scalers
fully expect to receive large sums for the
loss of prospective profits through ex-
clusion under the modus vivendi, especial
ly because for 1891, the first year of the
arrangement, England advanced about
100000 rs indemnity. Claims of 1892
and 1893, which will be pressed against
the Canadian and British Governments,
amount to considerably more than $780,
600.

While speculative interests nave
settled down to the belief that passage
of the tariff bill by the senate Is close
at hand, there is further uncertainty
as to the fate of the measure IN the
house OF representatives. The STOCK
market consequently exhibits further
hesitation and trading has been ex-
ceedingly dull and professional IN
character. Activity is confined TO
such a limited number Of stocks tnaC
fluctuations have little real signlh
canoe, although prices have displayed
a declining tendency. This Is due
partly to the appearance OF the ACcliI-
son reorganization plan which, lnvolV.
ing as it does a heavy assessment OF

The meeting of New York bankers
to consider the position OF the treasury
and the possibility OF TAKING
further depletion of its already
shrunken gold reserve had an untaV-
orable influence on speculation IL Is
recognized that the willingness OF the
bank to part with gold for export or
to join 10 reimbursing the treasury Tor
part of the specie which is being taken
from its vaults is a beneficial move
ment. At the same time the matter
has drawn attention to the situation
at the treasury and seems to increase
the unwillingness of Europe 10 touch
American securities at present. The
settlement OF the coal strike and the
resumption of work in most of the dis
