1895
BY REV. W. NJ. POSAIL.

Ye have not passed this way hereto fore-JosHUA
III-4
We but lately entered the gate of the New
Year and already are upon the untrodden
part of the path of life; for ''ye have not
passed this way heretofore" But an un-
trOdden path is not necessarily new
path: "a revised version is not new rev.
elation, or a new Bible new testimony:
it is the old testimony in new binding,
the old revelation read under new lights.
Israel had been marching their tortuous
way for forty years and now were to con-
tinue it under a new guide. Heretofore
the white cloud and the fiery pillar in the
sky gave them guidance Now, as they
stand in the valley of the Jordan, wonder
ing how best to pursue their course, Josh
ua directs the priests to take the ark of the
| covenant before Israel, and his host six.
| hundred thousand strong, at the distance
of thousand yards keeping the eye on
ark as before they kept it on the pillar,
went their way over the untrodden path
to Canaan.
In passing through the gate of the New
Year to continue the way of life and go
| through the thread and thrum of 1895, if
God permit, what shall be the experience
| of this wav and what shall be our guide9
| For this year may or it may not be du-
| plicate of other years. Not every flower
| that buds comes into the perfection of its
:, ha EoI
| with the dew and glistening in the light of
| the morning sun, dropped and dead by the
| flosts of the succeeding night. And SO a
| life that is full of promise in the morning
| of the New Year may find on the untrod-
| den path experiences which shall be dank
and dark, cold and cheerless: or it may be
a way of good cheer in heart and home and
daily life. bringing us to another Merry
| Christmas and Happy New Year. We can
not saw God knoweth.
But the interesting teaching of the his
| toric incident we speak of is, that we can
not afford to walk this untrodden way
without guide: that as Israel was to fol
| low and keep the eye on the ark we should
| IDllOW l)lNlHc ulTcttlon ana take OOu
word as an ark, saying as the psalmist,
Thy word is Il lamp to my feet and
light to my path" This is particularly APP
| plicable to young life. To many young
man with the new year have come new
| duties and responsibilities. Hitherto he
was guided by parental counsel under the
house-roof. Upon the uneXplored path he
| will meet new scenes and form new COM
| Partnerships and be impelled by new am
bitions. Happy will he be if he does not
| think himself strong enough and wise
enough to be guided by his own counsel.
The glory of young men is their strength
said the wise man. But the glory will have
| departed if the young man shall think HIM
self wiser than the tempter and his own
strength match for the world, the flesh
and the devil The roadway of life is
| strewn with the debris of shattered hopes
and ambitions, and the sea of life is cover
ed with the wreckage of young lives that
gloried in their own strength and spurned
the counselS and cautions of those who
knew the way.
Israel in the time of emergency put the

WORTHLESS POSTAGE STAMPS.

Two hundred million two-cent postage
stamps that are reported as worthless by
postmasters throughout the country have
been called in by the Postmaster General
and will be destroyed Although 200, ,0o0,-
600 seems to be an enormous number. it is
really trifling, compared with the number
of stamps used by the American people
every year and would last less than twenty
days. 1t requires about 100000 stamps
day to conduct the correspondence of
our population, or total of 4,3S0, 100000
for the year. There is not so much letter
writing these times as there was when the
country was more prosperous, but de-
cided increase has been noticeable during
the last two months. The weight of the
mails is an accurate barometer of business
affairs

THE NATURAL BOY.

o. for the glimpse of a natural boy,
boy with fretkled face,
With forehead white meath the tangled hair
And limbs devoid Of grace
Whose feet toe in, while his elbows flare,
Whose knees are patched all ways,
Who turns as red as lobster when
You give him a word of praise
4 boy who was born with an appetite,
Who seeks the pantry shelf
To eat his piece with resolnding smack,
Who isn't gone on himself
A Rob nsOn Crusoe-reading boy.
Whose pockets bulge with trash,
Who knows the use Of rod and gun
And where the brook trout splash
It's true he'll sit in the easiest char.
With hat n his toused head:
That his hands and feet are everywhere
For youth must have room TO spread
But he doesn't dub his father .s,d man."
Nor deny his mothers call,
Nor rdicule what his elders say.
Nor think that he knows it all.
A rough and wholesome, natural boy.
OF good Old fashioned clay;
God bless him. if he's still on earth,
For he'll make man some day.

THE CURTAIN FALLS.

Over the sorrow and over the bliss,
Over the teardrCp, over the kiss.
Over the crimes that botted and blurred,
Over the wound of the angry word,
Over the deeds in weakness done,
Over the battles lost and won,
Now at the end of the flying year,
Year that to- morrow will not be here,
Over our freedom over our thralls,
Over our gain and over our loss.
Over Onr crowns and over our cross.
Over the fret of our discomfort,
Over the ills that we never meant,
over the scars OF our self-denial,
Over the strength that conquered trial,
Now in the end of the flying year,
Year that to morrow will not be here.
Quietly final. the promoter calls;
Over it swiftly the curtain falls
Over the crowds and the solitudes.
Over our shifting hurrylng moods,
Over the hearths where bright flames leap
Over the cribs where the babies sleep,
Over the clamor, over tn. strife,
Over the pageantry of life,
Now in the end of the flying year
Year that to morrow will not be here
Swiftly and surely, from starry walls,
Silently downward the curtain falls.

THE ADMINISTRATIONS POsITI

THE ADMINISTRATION POSITION.
Many people interested in the situation
believe that the President and his ad-
visors, "the administrati on" in fact.
think that large proportion of the in
habitants of this country are gravitating
toward the idea that the United States
can undertake free coinage single-hand-
ed, and that those people may soon an
nounce their ideas through the ballot
| n this contingency it is thought to be
the opinion of the administration that
the best policy to be pursued is to lay
aside all talk Of international agreements
and meet the people upon the plain
ground OF sound currency against unafe
silver imitation and fight it out On this
line.
The interest the administration takes
in the campaign against the free silver
movement is undisguised. Secretary
Carlisle will deliver two speeches on the
su bject of currency, but largely devoted
to silver. He will probably speak once
in Kentucky and once in Tennessee early
in May. His Kentucky speech may be
delivered in Louisville, although there
have been requests from his old home
in Covington to talk to the people there.
In Tennessee he will speak at Memphis
or Nashville. Other members of the
cabinet will also speak on the silver
question, although times and places
have not been fixed. They believe that
a campaign of education on the money
question will have the effect of checking
the movement toward free silver, which
they believe has become serious menace
to the integrity of the Democratic party.
