EXAMINATION FOR
ASSISTANT FOREST RANGERS

Washington, ID. C.-The civil SER
vice comm ssion will hold an examl-
nation for assistant forest ranger on
October 1924, 1911. The u. S. de-
partner Of agriculture estimates
that 400 llgibles will be needed

tional forest headquarters in Alaska,
Arizona, Arkansas California, Colo
rado, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Mime
sofa, Montana. Nebraska Nevada,
New Mexico Oklahoma, oregon,

held in Michigan.
The law requires that, when prac-
ticable, forest rangers must be DUAL
fled citizens of the state or territory

the list of local elig.bles must be ex-
hausted before eligibles residing in
other states can be appointed the
chance of citizens Of out side states
who go TO the national forest states
ard take the examination to secure an
appointment Is small.

Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1911-12-28

II New Years comes as late again
This year as 1t did last,
I don't believe I'll get to see
The end, when 1t goes past,
And when the new one starts to 60
Across the calendar,
Last time l watched until I dreamed
was New Years star.
Pa says there isn't anything
That folks can see or hear
When midnight comes and Father
Time
Brings in another year.
But maybe he is fooling me.
Why do the people sing
And call 1t watch-night meeting, and
Why do the church bells ring?
Pa says they got the number Of ,.
The year by adding one
Each New Years to the year before,
And when that year was done,
BY adding on another, till

1t was New Years night. An aged
man was standing by the window He
mournfully raised his eyes toward the
deep blue sky, where the stars were
floating like white lilies on the sur
face of clear, calm lake. Then he
cast them on the earth, where few
more helpless beings than himself
were moving toward their inevitable
goal-the tomb. Already he had pass
ed sixty Of the stages which lead to
1t, and he had brought from his jour
ney nothing but errors and remorse
His health was destroyed, his mind
unfurnished, his heart sorrowful, and
his old age devoid of comfort.
The days of his youth rose up in a
vision before him, and he recalled the
solemn moment when his father had
placed him at the entrance Of two
roads, one leading into peaceful,
sunny land, covered with a fertile har-
vest, and resounding with soft, sweet
songs; while the other conducted the
wanderer into a deep, dark cave,
whence there was no issue, where poi
son flowed instead Of water, and
where serpents hissed and crawled
He looked toward the sky, and cried
out in his anguish "Oh, youth, re-
turn! o my father, place me once
more at the crossway of life, that l
may choose the better road" But
the days of his youth had passed
away, and his parents were with the
departed. He saw wandering lights
float over dark marshes, and then dis
appear. "Such,' he said, "were the
days of my wasted life!" He saw a
star shoot from heaven, and vanish

where she might be alone. On the
crest OF hill far up the road, stood
the schoolhouse where she taught. 1t
was closed now and dark.
81 will 60 there" Nell said to her
self, and just then a voice behind her
called: Supper is ready"
II don't want any" Nell said
YEARLY. "I'm going out for a little
while, Mrs. McGregor. III be back
by ten"
The snow began to fall softly as
she left the house, and by the time
she reached the school it was begin
ming to drift against the fences.
There was no fire within, but Nell
lighted one, and when the warmth
began TO steal into the room, she
drew the one big chair close to the
hearth and in the peaceful loneliness
gave herself up to her thoughts.
But she was not to remain in peace
long. There was a sound Of sleigh
bells without, heavy steps on the
threshold, and she looked up to see
the burly form of young farmer in
the doorway.
We'll, WE'LL" he said, 81 saw the
light and came in. Who would have
dreamed that you would be here
alone?'
Nell smiled YEARLY. II came to be
quiet"
Then you don't want me-"
ooh, sit down." she said, somewhat
uEgraciously.
But he stood by the fireplace and
looked down at her.
What's the matter?" he asked alb.
ruptly,
Nothing" family.
Don't tell me that; I know bet
ter"
"If l tell you," she asked, "you
mustn't give me any advice. l have
had so much advice | hate it."
He sat down beside her. "Tell
ahead" he said, land I'll promise to
listen like the Sphinx"
"You see, 1t is this way" she said;

in darkness athwart the churchyard.
Behold an emblem of myself" he
exclaimed; and the sharp arrows of
unavailing remorse struck him to the
heart.
Then he remembered his early COM
panions, who had entered life with
him, but who having trod the paths of
virtue and industry, were now happy
and honored on this New Years
night. The clock in the high church
tower struck, and the sound, falling
on his ear recalled the many tokens
of the love of his parents for him;
the prayers they had offered up in his
behalf Overwhelmed with shame
and grief, he dared no longer look to-
ward that heaven where they dwelt
His darkened eyes dropped tears, and
with one despairing effort he cried
aloud, Come back, my early days!
Come back"
And his youth did return; for all
this had been but dream, visiting
his slumbers on New Years night.
He was still young, his errors only
were no dream. He thanked God fer
vently that time was still his own:
that he had not yet entered the deep,
dark cavern, but he was free to tread
the road leading to the peaceful land
where sunny harvests wave.
Ye who still linger on the thresh.
old of life doubling which path to
choose, remember that when years
shall be passed, and your feet shall
stumble on the dark mountain, you
will cry bitterly, but cry in vain, 20
youth, return! Oh, give me back my
early days!"-Jean Paul Richter.
