BREVTTIES.

We read an article in The New York
Saturday Review concerning that say-
ing that cleanliness is next to godli-
ness" The writer finds it of early He
brew origin, I'M traces it also in the
Jewish Mishna. So do not credit to Mr..
Wesley or any modern.
1t is announced that Captain Rober,
E. Lee, youngest son of the great
American soldier and southron, will
publish in a few months he Letters
and "reminiscences" of his illustrious
father. 1t is stated that he has Eek
amined a great mass of material, let
tiers, journals, records, ETC., and new
light, it is said, will be thrown on many
events in the civil war"
Possibly the following has a wider
application than the writer of the fol-
lowing piece Of fun intended. The Chi
cago Tribune is responsible for it:
"Hildred," said her father, Il am

fering to the veterans, and asks Gods
blessing upon each and every one OF
them.

The Messenger was not issued so as
to greet its readers on yesterday morn
ing when the New Year dawned upon
the world with all of its promises and
prospects. We might pause today and
take note Of the past year. But what
would it avail to recount the more
startling events and TO tell OF h many
hair-breadth escapes by flood and held!
The year gone will return IL Is
already the dead past 1t was Iuil OF
incident and accident, of garined frui-
ton and sad disappointment so why
pause TO consider what was seen and
suffered The New Year is at land
with all Il its duties and responsibility
tie, considering literally upon US. We
must meet them with what of hope and
serenity of mind and bravery of soul
we may command. 1t will be a severe
trial to many, and it may serve 10 be a
stepping-stone to higher aims and
serener heights and more blessed expe-
riences. Let eacn one strive to do his or
her duty in their place-the place in
which God has fixed. AS the fidelity
and conservation. the purity and self
sacrifice will be the reward the final
outcome. Every day should be a day
of usefulness, of sobriety, of devotion
to duty. Every day we'll spent may be
to the earthly traveller a new day, a
new years day. Mrs. Helm Hunt
Jackson, a woman of rare gifts, once
sang in this strain:
Always a night from old to newt!
Night and the healing balm of sleep!
Each morn is New Years morn come
true,
Morn of a festival to keep.
All nights are sacred nights to make
Confession and resolve and prayer;
All days are sacred days to wake
New gladness in the summer air.
Only a night from old to new;
Only a sleep from night to morn.
The new is but the old come true;
Each sunrise sees a new year born"

in remote and rural districts or Yer

boundary line.
This is the most active move yet
taken IN the plans for the invasion of
Canada Persons having knowledge Of
the purchase OF some of the supplies say
THAT dynamic has been u in sur
lprisingly large quantities and stored
lin a number OF marked excavations and
caves on the Vermont border. while
canned meats have been hidden in the

Maine line, near New Hampshire.
! An ambulance corps is being organ
IiZed under the supervision OF a few
Irish women and who were

ARE also preparing first aid packages
for the invading force.
| One phase of the campaign plans
which has entirely escaped notice here
ltofore is hat which Is being looked
out for in the farming districts Of New

THAT the movement is the work of
the Irish element in the larger cities of
the country, but il is a fact that IA large
important work is being done
among the farmers of the border states.
"A list is being arranged OF farmers who
