THE NEW YEAR.

The clock struck twelve In the tall
church tow sr,
And the old year slipped away,
To be lost in the crowd OF phantom
yeass
In the house of dreams that stay
All wrapped in their oloaks ot gray.
Then swift and sweet DER the doors $
worn sill
Came the youngest child OF Time.
With a gay little bow and merry
laugh,
And a voice like bells achime,
Challenging frost and rime.
He found there was plenty for him to
do.
The strong and the weak were here.
And both held out their hands TO him
And gave him greetings dear.
The beautiful young New Year.
You mus; bring us better days" they
said.
The old year was a cheat"
Which think was mean when the year
was dead;
To be spurned by scornful feet,
Il bring you the best that a year can
bring"
The newcomer stoutly spake,
The chance OF work. the gift Of trust.
And the bread OF love 70 break.
II but my gifts you'u take
The noblest thing a year can lay
In the lap Of you or me,
The brave new year has brought this
day,
1t Is Opportunity.
Which the wise are quick TO see.

A YEARS EXPORT TRADE.

The $40. .OO0, 900 of gold in the treasury
at the present time as compared with
344. SOC, 900 last February, requires some
explanation. says the Philadelphia
Times. besides the sale of gold bonds.
Heretofore. when the balance was re-
stored by the sale Of bonds. as soon
as the proceeds of the sale had been all
paid in the balance began TO decrease.
At this time it is mounting higher, and
the explanation is to be found in the
unprecedented export trade for the year
and the corresponding balance to our
credit. The exports for the twelve
months Of 1896 reached the enormous
sum Of sl,OO5, ,s7S.417. or s35,OOO,000 more
than in any previous calendar year,
while the imports amounted TO but
$3.50, ,553, ,23S. leaving a balance 10 our
credit for the years commerce Of 1925.
322,1S4, or $50 1000, 900 more than in 1878,
when we We're supplying the deficiencies
Of one Of Europe's shortest crop years.
The table Of exports and imports ex-
tending back TO and including 1873. the
year in which specie payments were
resumed, is an interesting one.
It is found that for continuous Pc
rfod Of nineteen years our merchandise
exports have exceeded our imports ex-
eept in the single year Of 1888. when
the balance on the wrong side was
s3S,65O,S21
That this immense preponderance Of
sales over purchases will soon be re-
fiected in other places than in the
treasury gold balance can hardly be
doubted. The first effect, an abundance
Of money at all the chief financial cen
tiers. is already very apparent. It is
true, the money is largely lying idle
at present but this is because financial
confidence has not been fully restored.
The very fact that our commerce is in
the healthy condition shown by these
figures and that we have 50 large a
balance in bank to our credit, will tend
to inspire business confidence, in spite
1f any action or inaction on the part
Of congress. People will get tired Of
keeping their surplus capital idle, and
with the opening of spring these idle
cash balances will begin to find their
way into some line Of business activity.
Another thing revealed by these fig
ures is worthy of note. The cry OF
hard times has been coming up from
the agricultural sections. but as agrf-
cultural products constitute by far the
largest share OF the biggest years ex-
port trade the country has ever known,
there must be as much and even more
