The New Year.

The dawning of the New Year is
upon us and the same old annual
greeting is offered to our patrons and
friends Loath as we are TO Hail the
coming and speed the parting year"
ii nevertheless occurs TO us that 1896
holds in its mysterious confines the
nucleus of better times and greater
prosperity. Coming events cast their
shadows before, and the events of the
past six months, in like manner, lead up
to fitting elimination. The expiring
year has certainly been one of great
versatility, and looking back through
the midst of time, il all seems as a
dream. This country has been the
theatre of social, political, and inter
national complications Great men
have passed away from the scene of
their triumphs, changes have come to
all of us in one way or another, but
our institutions are like the principle
of our government, solid and substan-
tial. In every particular we have adj
vanced in industry and learning and
kindred branches of literature, art and
science. The coming year bears prom
Use of greater accomplishments to one
and all of us, if we only embrace them
at the proper time. Don't wait till
they vanish like the shadow of morn
ing before the rays of the glorious sun,
but be up and doing and let the detic-
iencies of the past be an example to
spur us on to better things We all
have that "new leaf to turn over
and although this admonition may
have become a little shoddy and tar
nished with ime, still it holds good as
well now as it ever did Let the adj
vent of the New Year be the beginning
of a new life morally and physically,
and the world will Ge brighter and fu-
ture generations will call us blessed.

scarce, and they have hard work to col,

How Keeping Late Hours Estrangcd Two
Young People of ST. Louis.
A curious and withal instructive acct
dent happened in "our best society" some
time ago a certain young gentleman
had an engagement to escort a certain
Young lady to a certain very fashionable
party. The young lady was quite as
fashionable RS the party. So when the
Young gentleman called about 10 o'clock
she was not quite ready, but would be
down in IA moment" The young gentle
man waited several moments, even 20 or
80, and still she came not. He was very
weary, for. being "a swell society man"
and the season unusually gay, his social
duties had taken him ont every night
for a week and kept him out until ? or
III the morning.
Naturally he was somewhat sleepy,
and the longer he waited the sleeper he
grew There was a large alcove in the
parlor draped with heavy curtains, and
in the alcove comfortable sofa. He
thought he would take 40 winks' while
the lcisurely lady fingered in her bou-
doir. He stretched himself upon the sofa
and proceeded to take the much needed
winks, but unluckily could not stop
with 40. When at last the lady descend
