THE OLD YEARS LEGACY.

At midnight on the New Years eve,
Above the cradle of the New

''What shall leave thee when I gog''
He said, Pure babe, sent forth to meet
The s0iling, grinding. weary world;
What shall | lay here at thy feet? -
Il Will not leave my mantle gray;
Thou hast new robe, fair and bright
| will not leave the griefs and cares
That turned my hair to silver white;
Il will not leave the vows unkept.
The blasted hopes, the useless tears;
My wisdom, all too dearly bought,
Is far too bitter for thine ears.
But, plotting out the background dark.
The long, sad days of this, my span,
I'll leave thee all it's joys to fill
With memries sweet the heart of man.
Thine be the happiness that's pasti
Thine be the gladneSs not the care!
Earth shall forget my griefs, whose sum-
With future joys shall not compare.
For now give men double weight
OF glad and happy thoughts, through thee.
My sOmber form fades fast away;
My brightest smiles alone they see.
So spoke the Old Year, and the New
Flung out across the winter dawn
Dear memories of yesterday,
The joys filled full. the sorrows gone

WEARY WILLIES' PARADISE.
Why the Hobo that Drifts to Central
America Never Drifts Back.

"A good many typical American hoboes

one good thing about it is that they new
err get back again. The country seems
to suit them up to the hilt l have been
watching the tramp travel for several
years, and it has afforded me consider
able amusement. Some of them scrape
up enough money to pay for a deck pas
sage, but most of them stow away or go
down as rOuSta bouts. When they land
they generally drift a little distance into
the interior, and that settles it.
In Nicaragua and Costa Rica espe-
clally life is very easy for an able-bodied
man who has an aversion to working
and is not very particular about his sur
roundings. All he has TO do is to marry
a native woman and settle down in some
! little banana or cOcOanut grove for the
balance of his days. To my certain
knowledge that is exactly what has been
done by large number of Weary Will
lies from the United States. | call to
mind one case on the south end of the

and the ex-tramp dreams the happy hours
