McCAIN'S.

MCCAINs, Jan. l0-The wheel of time
turns on and on. With the first of Jan
uary we entered upon the last year of
the nineteenth century, and with the
same date we turned another leaf in
the book of life. TO mary, the New
Year will bring sorrow as well as joy,
and to all it will bring opportunities for
doing good. There are mistakes and
failures which have happened during
the past year, and heart-aches have
been experienced rs natural result.
But this is only one side of the picture
There is another size, which gives US
gladness rs we view it. On the whole,
our lows have out-num bered our sor-
sows, and we are filled with happy
recollections of victories we haYe won,
whe ther over selfOr over sin, and the
progress we haye made in the better
life. He who is faithful has no cause
for regret at the hurrying years; for
while they added to his age they also
contribute to the development in the
purer and higher life. The faithless
one has cause for griet, for the passing
hours but enlarge the volume OF wasted
time. But Whatever may have been
our short comings and dlsappolntments
of the past, we should look TO the lu-
ture with steadfastnesS and nope. tall-
ures should not discourage us for the
work that lies waiting to be done.
To the Editor, correspondents and
readers of the newsy ii ERALD, we give
most hearty greeting, and wish Tor
them wear full of blessings and hap
ninpss. because full of helptulness to
their fellowmen.
