What Does 1t Mean?

A Happy New Year. What does it
mean? Are not these words often
thrown out as greeting without
thought or depth of meaning? Is it a
year in which to ourselves come wealth
and health, prosperity and friendship?
One spent in the pursuit of fleeing
pleasure and filled with self-centered
interest? No. Rather let the wish
be to each and all, as the New Year
dawns with all its opportunities, that
the days of 1895 may be well spent
filled with thought and sympathy for
those around, and that in self-forgetting
and kindly deeds the happiness OF
others may be ever sought, and then
most truly will each act rebound again
in JOY and blessing to the heart from
which it springs. Christian at Work.

Christmas Gifts.

Too often the holiday present has
but little of the sweet feeling that
should go with Christmas offerings.
No matter under what obligations one
feels to another, present should not
be offered at such time, unless peace
and good will 60 with it. No debts
but those of love should be repaid by
gifts at Christmas time. If given with
any other feeling, the holy season has
been sacriliged. Let all obligations
be filled at other seasons, even If those
to whom YOU are indebted have not the
same reverent respect for Christmas
time that you feel.
All presents should be suitc,l to the
age. station and taste of the one tor
whom they are intended. Many one
| in receipt of articles utterly useless or
distasteful, wishes devoutly that little
thought and discretion had been used
in the selection of gifts which Otter
thoughtless affection prompted. 1t is
generally easy to find out what most
of our friends really wish to have fol
some remembrances, and how pleasan
it is to be able to crafty some wish o
dear one.
Ab,ve all. let love and good will &C
company everything you buy or pre-
pare for the coming Christmas festivi
ties. Let all i'll feeling be buried, an
extend the hand of good-fellowship t
all.-Woman's Work.

Deposit Your Money in Bank.

Many people lose money by not put
ting it in bank. Here is a case i'll
point, near at home The safe of W..
+. Neal & Co., of Louisbufg, was rob-
bed Thursday night of about $1,000
and some valuable papers. There is
no clue to the thief. If this money had
been deposited in bank. which was the
proper and sensible thing to do, the
firm would now be $1,000 better OF
than they are to say nothing about the
loss of valuable papers besides. But
these may be secured as it is probable
they will be of no value to the safe
crackers.

What will the Republican party d

What will the Republican party do
in the coming campaign without the
almost indispensable (?) services of D.
L. Robinson? Go ahead, D. L., you
are all right, but look out now that
some other fellow don't get your place
in the Republican ranks and leave you
after next November's election without
a place to lay your head. The position
of doorkeeper in the house or senate is
a pretty good thing while it lasts, but
remember it don't last long and besides
your chances for getting the place de-
pends solely upon the success of the
Pops, and that this year will amount to
nothing.
