How beautifully they blossomed all
along the pathway of the year. In
their chalices glis,ened the refreshing
wine of gladness; on their leaves lay
the honey dew of fconten,ment. Their
roots drew sweet sustenance from the
hidden and OVERLOOKING springs of di-
vine aspiration. Heavenly voices
whispered to us of their loveliness and
urged us to take and possess them
but we needed them not. Our eyes
were blinded with sin and selfishness.
We scorned them as worthless weeds,
and, finally, they died, as hearts die
sometimes-from neglect of those who
live for, and w,hou. whose love life is
impossible.
So these little golden opportunities
which might have made us happy,
and good, and wise, and noble, and
strong in soul, and worthier of our
Heavenly Fathers love and care, and
more useful to our fellow men-drooped
and withered and died. In this neg
lected spot their dust is enshrined,
and for that reason Memory has come,
to kneel here, and to weep her bitter
useless tears.
When the new year steps over our
thresholds, to live with US as our guests
and to record Our thoughts and our
deeds in the great book of life, the
question presents ltself-wlll we profit
by the experience which we gained
from the old year? Will we try to
make ourselves better, wiser, purer,
nobler and worthier of the glorious des
tiny of an immortal soul? VIII we
cherish the golden opportunities of
f1eeting time, instead of neslecting
them, to our loss and sorrowo VIII
we exert all Cur energies of mind and
body in the pursuit and in the cult
vation of the true, the coed and the
beautiful, SO that the world may be
benefited by our labors and be made
brighter and better because we have
lived in it? In a word, will we be
what we ought to be and can be if We
will?
Therefore, let US treasure the lessons
of the passing years, lay them to heart,
and Undue our souls with the wisdom
they may contain. Nothing takes
place in human life, from which some
thing may not be gained that Will
either benefit the soul, or enlarge the
scope of our mental faculties. So
doing, every new year shall blossom
like rose, and be fragrant and &C
ceptable offering to Heaven, when 1t
shall join its predecessors and be gath
cred to the dust of an immemorial
past. CHARLES w, HUBNER.

SHIP L A DEBARRED,

A Washington dispatch of Dec. II
has the following:
The Secretary Of War to-day trans.
mitted to Congress a letter from Gen.
Craighill, together with a report from
Major Roselle, relative to the results
of a preliminary examination of Ship
Island Pass, Miss, with the view OF
obtaining a channel twenty-six feet in
depth at low tide in the pass between
the Gulf Of Mexico and the Ship
Island harbor. Also, on the subject
of dredging a channel 500 feet wide
and % feet deep, to connect Ship
Island harbor with a railroad pier at
Gulfport.
Major ROselle states that the locali-
ties are not worthy of improvement
by the general government, which
views are concurred In by Col. Haines,
the division engineer, and Gen. Craig
hill.

We are pleased to note the following
which the Oxford Globe has to say re.
garding our young friend, Marion
Evans, of Moss Point:
The Phi Sigma Society contest for
places in the Senior debate to take
place at commencement, was well
attended on the evening Of 9th ult.
Messrs. M. G. Evans and J. A. Smylie
were the successful contestants.
These gentlemen did great justice
to their subjects, Mr.. Evans being
very brilliant and rhetorical and Mr..
Smylie profoundly logical and con.
vincing.

The Woodville Courier has suspend.
ed publication. The editor announces
his reason for so doing his inability to
collect a sufficient amount of money
due the paper to keep it going, and
that the business OF the town will not
support two papers. Not only of
Woodville is this true, but there are
few towns in the State able to support
more than n paper decently. The
experiment has been tried time and
again and utterly failed. Experience
Is a dear school, but fools learn IN no
other.

favorable comment was heard on all
sides.
The tug with the enthusiastic visi-
tors aboard, returned down the river
and proceeded over the bar to the
shipping" at Horn Island, where a
large fleet OF vessels is now taking on
cargoes. Returning, a stop was made
at the mills of the Farnsw0rth Lum-
her Co., although the plant happens,
just now, to be shut down owing to a
scarcity of logs.
Here, Mr.. w. W. Farnsworth, as
behOoves the newly elected mayor OF
such a town as Scranton, took charge
Of this party Of heavy weights Of the
financial and lumber world, and in
less time than it takes to tell it they
were in the spacious rooms of tho
Commercial Club and the popping Of
corks concluded the story.
From Scranton the party will pro
coed to Pennington, and will go W
the Gulf and Ship Island road in theiI
special Car, thence down the North
eastern to New Orleans.
