"The house." says Emerson, ''should
bear witness i'll all its economy, that human
culture is the end to which it is built and
garnshed.D But when we measure our
habitations by this high standard, our sue
cesses are not much above that of the Es-
quimaux and Lap. These barbarans Sc
cure in their turf novels, shelter, security
and warmth. Our notion of comfort and
convenience is somewhat higher; but after
ALL it Is only comfort and convenience that
we seek with any zeal; and the notion OF
making every house a temple and school to
its owner is as far from our general purpose
as from theirs. Yet nothing less than this
ought to content US.


Nature contrires with infinite ingenuity
so to distribute the meagre number Of hu-
man features that no two faces have ever
been precisely alike. Behind these various
faces sit souls as various. And their way
of life is as unlike as if they came not all
from the same mysterious source and moved
not all to the same mysterious end. Indi-
vldual growth, individual WORTH are plainly
the intention and the justification OF natural
law. And it is odd enough that men who
really have personality should be quite con
tent to live exactly like their neighbors, so

has certain culture or desire that is not
common to the rest, which should be ex
pressed in his habitation For his habita-

should lead him to his finest growth. 1t

Boys and girls are not taught the relig-

The Minneapolis Tribune makes the fol-
lowing announcement apparently on the au-
thorlty of one of the Directors of the North
ern Pacific Railroad residing in that city:


Information has been officially received in this city
to the effect that the Northern Pacific Railroad thirty
million seven and three tenths loan has been finally
closed out, New York syndicate having Just sub
scribed for the nine millions that remained unsold at
| a recent date. This makes thorough financial sue
cess of this loan, and while placing funds the dis
posal of the road for construction, strengthens its
credit very erally This entire thirty millions has
been taken at home and by our own people, which
fact cannot fail of being duly appreciated should the
company ever seek negotiations abroad.


This announcement will be received with
great qualification by the people of Mime
sofa and of the entire northwest whose fil-
ture is intimately bound up with the sue
cess of this great enterprise. 1t is all the
more gratifying for the reason that it has
been seriously apprehendea by the public
that the Provaiing stringency Of the money
market and the marked indisposition on the
part Of European or American capitalists to
invest capital in new railroad enterprises,
would render it impossible to dispose of the
bonds of the Northern Pacific during the
present year in the American or European
market That this has been accomplished
in face of the discouraging attitude of capi-
tai towards most of the new railroad enter
prises must be accepted as a marked indi-
cation Of the exceptionally favorable feeling
towards the Northern Pacific Railroad, and
of confidence in its prudent, vigorous and
sagaclous management

The train from New York to Paterson,
N. j., got fast in drift at cut neai
Clifton, one night during the late storm,
and bid fair to stay there all night. The
passengers took the anair in all sorts Of
llmOrs. Ono mRn said his daughter
was to be married that evening, and he
would give two hundred dollars to be
carried through, One lady had gone to
Passaic in the morning for ap hours
visit, aud she was alarmed at the prob
able condition OF the little nursing babe
she had left at home. Another man had
n wife who he expected would want him
to go for the doctor before morning.
After waiting for q time, q number Of
the more anxious ones, including tho fe-
male with the babc at home and several
other females, concluded, rather than
wait in the train all night, that they
would walk TO Paterson.


1t was an awful walk. In places the
snow was above their waists. One mo-
ment they would bc upon the track; the
next they would suddenly find them
selves precipitatcd into some ditch, or
over some embankment. Tie woman,
with the babe ut home, delicate and
sickly as she WIS, kept up with tho rest,
although she was occasionally helped
by the strong arm of some Of the men.
When male member Of the party felt
discouraged, aud like giving ont, he was
kept mp by a sort of pride, thinking that
if a woman could stnnd it, certainly he
ought.


Despite the situntion, tho cracking of
jokes never Geased, and good.lnlmor
prevailed to such M extent that the
party had no time to get down.hearted.
Then somebody would disappear with Il
yelp down some unseen cavity; NIL hands
would rush to the rescue, and the miss.
ing person would he extricatel and
threatened with being left alone il hG
did such u thing againl And so It went.
The party finally reached Paterson at
about II o'clock at night, having been
passed on the road by tie train they had
abandoned, which had succeeded in
forcing It's way through, but without
stopping to pick up the tnmpers
through the snow

We bid you goodbye, with smile,
Old Year because 1t won't pay to CRY.
You are bound to go, and leave us, we
know, and we cannot but say goodbye.
We feel none the less that a long-drawn
sigh, Quiver Of lip and fearful eye,
would better express, we will confess,
our heartiest last goodbye.


You've piled upon US heavy load
and many IN ache, on an uphill road
yet enough for the day way tho strength
alway, and hence our smile Is at best
awry with which we say, Old Year, good
bye


To be sure, we have felt that the aches
and pains were often by pounds and the
Joys by grains and the screws seemed
turned with IN extra pinch, as though
some malice had hold OF the winch; and
others seemed having much more de-
light, and we much less, than was fair
and right; that coin Of the realm and
bonds and stocks and real estate, In
squares and blocks and acres untold OF
prairie and hill and silyery stream and
dam and mill 81; that these and more OF
the coveted real, and desires fulfilled OF
bcauty's ideal, were the lot OF too few,
while we Of the many were often In
want Of even n penny. But then, since
we know, or at least don't doubt, that
the broods Of care are swarming about
the hordes OF manifold wealth that burn
and sink and leave by stealth that
"reumatic" loves to pain and twist the
grasping heart and the gripping fist.
we about conclude that we do not know
OF ono so fortunate hero below with
whom we'd exchange what the year has
brought---tllough little Of profit our
hands have wrought and take his
share Of trouble and pains, and also his
lot Of regret and shame, and also the
gaunt old skeleton grim that in cup
board or closet is grinning at him.


We cannot but feel, though load Of
care, that to say the least II Is hard to
bear, IL has been our lot all along the
years, that nevertheless there Is Joy In
life. in spite Of sorrow, pain, and strife.
and hence we regret the old year gone,
and wish it's draft on time undrawn :
that oil to soon the new is old, too soon
tho wondrous tale Is told.
