Reflections on the New Century.

night, 31st Of December, 1900 to m
JOY the pleasure Of a night-watch
service, such az you city folks OBJ
serve in ringing out the old and
ringing in the new. Sojust now, 20
to II, | have decided to pen YOU a
few reflections that have been re-
volving in my mind while sitting
and watching all alone the hours
and minutes as they slowly gDided
through the fingers Of the expiring
century. | say | am alone, be-
cause the children got sleepy and
slid off to bed with the request that
/ awake them about midnight. My
wife being Of a more practical than
sentimental turn of mind preferred
to be left to take hers out in sleep
and to let old father time runs his
W affairs. She didn't like to be
broken of her rest and bothered
every time au old century took a
notion to turn over the fortunes
and calamities Of earth to the keep
Ing Of a new one. Then she coiled
herself in bed 50 snugly as to say,
eff | undertake to bother with
every century that happens TO loose
its hold on time to watch it deliver
its spoils into the lap Of It's success
sor, 1 may be always watching and
worrying and breaking my rest
with these sentimental night
watchea." thought it night be so
and did not insist. E2nce, l have
been TOUCHING it out for about four
hours by myself. While sitting in
front of n blazing oak wood fire |
have kept myself awake by the
spice Of variety in reading matter.
l would read awhile from that won
derful book, "Geo'ke Muller"-
how he built and maintained five
orphanges accommodating more
than two thousand children without
asking a single contribution from
any human being. Nor did he al
low any one else to ask. lie COM
mitted all into the hands of God.
It's a good book get il and read it.
Then l would read about the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty and the HIay-
P~aunceforte treaty, Nicaragua
treaty and the Panama treaty and
got good walked up so as 1 could
read Cleveland on Democracy and
the Crank and file" and Bryan in
ehN NoihiIIoutI anu L lclt lhe
present old century, if it had done
no more, had contributed abund-
antly TO the spice Of life by way Of
variety in literature.
But to return. The time is about
up. The last few minutes Of the
10Th century are fast ebbing out.
Now!12, midnight, 1900-1901 Now!
The clock has just tolled out the
century just flushed and a century
just begun. These epochs of time
are suggestive of things and
thoughts pregnant with history and
prophecy. They carry with them
sentiments at once solemn and
glad. We are led to recount the
blessings of the past, the achieve
ments and the failures, the tears
and tolls, the triumphs, the joys.
Our vision is pitched into the
dizzy, unknown future tceming
with approximations and hopes and
fears all balanced on the narrow
pivot Of time dividing the two CEN
turtles represented in the figures
1900-1901.
