WHAT is written is written. The old
year \vc cannot recall. That leaf in tin-
book of our life is turned ; it is closed ;
we may not change or erase a single
mark. Regret over its black spots is al 1
in vain. But a new year opens to us a
fair , clean page on which we may write
what we list. Think you it will look a
year hence as this one does we liav <
just closed ? Golden Eulc.
WE clip the following account of the
birth of a mere speck of humanity fron
a Portland , Maine , journal : Nf
roBK , Dec. 20. Mrs. Chas. Traccy , of
Kingsbridge , on Monday last , gave birtl
to u healthy child , that weighs exactly
11 ounces , and is but six inches long.
The baby's bed } ' could be circled by ;
14-year-old child's thumb and finger
the head is perfectly formed , and aboui
the size of a crab apple. Its mouth i
so small that it is unable to partake ol
its natural nourishment , and a small
nipple , the size of a straw , attached tea
a small glass bottle , does duty in that
particular.
STILL another candidate for glory or
the grave : A bet has been made between
Paul [ lines , the well known base ball
Seldcr , and a friend of his , upon the
question of whether Hines , standing
on the ground , would be able to catch a
jail thrown from the top cf the Wash
ington monument. The matter raises a
nice scientific problem. The ball would
take five and one-half seconds to descend ,
ind at the end of its iourney would be
going at one hundred and eighty feet
) er second , or two mile per minute speed.
The resistance required to stop an ave
rage base ball would be 110 pounds , but
the difficulty would likely be not so much
the ability to stop it as to judge it. It
could not be seen when first thrown , and ,
on the whole , the chances are rather
against the base ballist.
EVERY man , woman and child has an
nfluencc on society. They are respon-
ifcle to a certain extent for the kind of
ociety with which they are surrounded ,
'here is scarcely a person , who is back
ward about expressing his disapproval
of any serious violation of the law , or
ustom of society , as long as the guilty
jarty is not present , but -'policy" has
o thoroughly impregnated human na-
urc as to cause people , and especially
msincss and professional men , to wink
at a great many things which are go
ing on in their locality , which they do
not approve of but for fear of incurring
some one's displeasure , as before stated ,
merely wink at it and term it one of the
culprit's "peculiarities. " ft is a duty
every man owes to society and human
ity in general , to , not only "disap
prove" of , but take a decided and open
stand , against all classes of evil doers
and their deeds. Many persons would
be saved to themselves and society , if in
the beginning of their downward course ,
they had been given to understand that
respectable society would not recognize
the author of their disreputable acts ,
ind thus put a chectc on them before
their natures had become thoroughly im
bued with vice. Gosper County Citizen.
THE mother of Louisa Alcott was a
very rare woman. She was a long time
i city missionary in Boston , and often
she u > ed to come home without her over
shoes , her shawl or some warm under
garment , having given them away to
some suffering woman whose need was
great ; and when her family reproached
her with her carelessness of her own
health , she always said. "The thought
of that poor soul's comfort kept me
warm. " The mantle of this noble wo
man's charity was wide enough to cover
the sinful as well as the poor ; and she
used not infrequently to take into her
own family people she wished to reform ,
and when cautious friends asked her
how she dared introduce these outcats *
among her daughters , she always an
swered : "Oh , I can trust my girls ,
and this is the best way to teach them
how to shun these sins , and comfort
these sorrows. They cannot escape the t
knowledge of them ; better gain it un
der their father's roof , and mother's
care. " { : Never , ' ' said her daughter ,
in speaking of these facts , "did the people
ple thus cared for do us any harm ; and t
after of them back
years some come f
from time to time , to expres's their gratitude - I
itude with tender tears. " {
