THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG. PA. ..One New Year's Eve 85- Bu Mm! L. Crocktr. THE swish of a blue drcs, ft faint brcntli of violets, rs in pawing, ntul he felt rather thnn saw Marie Summer-field m by. Standing & little apart from the knots of merry young people thronging the pleas ant rooms, he was conscious of a thread of pin running through the last night of the old year, touching only Miss Sunitiiorfield and himself. By he, 1 mean Leigh Ileyburn, the owner af the old fashioned, low-roomed grange be neath whose roof the young people of ti lad brook hud gathered to keep a merry watch night. With music and laughter and guy npartee they meant to dance a welcome to the joyous New Year without mud. bought, for the staid old twelve-month hich had served them so faithfullv. Hut Leigh moved uneasily, sending im ploring glances after the blue gown, all to no purpose. Marie was absorbed with the faacinnting company of Maurice Davenport, nd was smiling her sweetest and Marie :ould smile divinely and entertaining him admirably. Reybnrn was thinking hurd, and, it must be confessed, uncharitably. Had he wor shiped anil petted and lived for Miss Sum merfield these two blessed sunlit years, to ?iy hope and happiness go into the gruvs ot the frail old year leaving nothing but memories? What was that Mane was singing to the sweet-toned guitar she held so daintily, strapped in place with a blue riband? 'Ring out the old, ring In the new; The year Is dying, let it go; Ring In the new; ring In the new." Her voice seemed to falter a little on the repeat as it fell to a soft cadence. Was it possible she was thinking of the old so tsmderly the old lore, for instance? Ah! well, he did not know. The yule log had burned out a week ago, rrat he' had not the heart to take up the silvery ashes from the old, red brick hearth as yet. Ever since that other night he had kept his vow and closed his doors to all merriment for two long years, lint some how the lads and lassies of Cladbrook had lain their sympathies on his door-stone and worked themselves into his good graces oice more, and before he realized what he was doing he hnd given up the silent rooms ngain to a Christmas party. Hut no more New Year frolics under his roof, he said ; not until well, maybe lie stopped short in hi" musing: still the remnant of the mistletoe Irung in the bracket work of the old chan delier and he remembered now, as he looked at it, how pure and fair Alicia Merrill looked when Herman Montrose kissed her beneath its potent spell a week ago. She out him in mind, O, so much, of her. Cov- oring hi- eyes for a moment w ith trembling band, he went to the window anil looked out. White and glistening as an angel's wing lay the snow on the intervening fields. Over there was her house, but she had been, away now for a long time studying music, and lie had heard, for she did not write to hum, that her voice was simply divine, nnd as a musician she was wonderful. Nevertheless, it was a night like this, nodding toward the flooding moonlight out side, that they he and she hnd their misunderstanding. A spasm of pain crossed lis fine face and he caught his breath a little. He could not tell just how it came about, never clearly understanding, but that night so much like this, nnd New Year's Eve, too, marked the beginning of their di verging paths. And he had heard of di verging paths which came together again after awhile! To-morrow was the glad New Year again. Would its happy greetings be only mock cry to him? Suddenly a thought, which had smoul dered in his mind for days, flashed up like k gleam of heavenly light, radiating his whole being. She was coming home to-night on the late HER VOICE SEEMED TO FALTER. train; and lie was to hungry to sec her; only (jod Knew how tarnished ot heart he was! Ho would take the down train, get off at iiocki:,il rtnen idle changed ears for (iliiu brook. No olio could prevent him from ridnj; home in tlx! same coach with her, .md even that would be a blenscd comfort Then, in.ij he, something would come of it Who knew? In 15 minutes he was inside his great eoat and locking the hull door, with u ner vous, glad excitement stealing over him, like the coming of a new day. A ten-min uIck' walk brought him to the station. '(iuing away fur the New Year?" oueried the agent, pleasantly, handing Keyburn the required pasteboard. "O, a little way," he replied, absently pulling on his gloves. Scarcely had ho settled himself in the outward-bound train than Joe Antrim thumped him on the shoulder and sang .iut: Jlullo! going nway on a blow-out, 1 juppose: v en, so am i. Nunc nre going iwuy, ana some aro coming home. In the awkward silence which followed Joe's voluble introduction, he seemed to tad ltcyuurn "s thoughts, for, without look eg furtnei- for reply, he began again "Miss Suminerficld is coming to-night, thev uy; and they uy, too, that she is bringing r best fellow with her. (iladbrook looks rur a wedding at the Sumaierfield home to morrow. Hut, of course, I don't know; it oniy gossip, maybe. ' Having thus delivered himself, Joe An Irim, without writing for reply, betook him elf to the smoker, leaving Jieyburn in just :he state of mind he intended, half-way be ;ween insanity and desperate intent. Hut by and by lteyburn's mind cleared to Joe's last sentence. Only gossip. Of .-nurse that was all; but Joe was mean to 'lash it over"! fto him of all persons, and in ueh an Insinuating manner, too. Well, he would go on to Kockland now if he met her complete bridal party, he would see for him self, and if it was all true, why, he would not go lumie that night, and pel hap- tilad brook would never sec him again. At llockhmd he had only a few minutes to wait between trains, nnd already the home bound one was wailing on a side tn.ck. l'un basing his ticket, he ensconced himself where he could plainly see the passengers leave the cross-train. "Now for the bridal party, at least the bride nnd groom," be said, trying to be jocular with himself, although his face was very white and bis mouth twitched nerv ously. At the cry "train, train," everybody be gan to hustle about. Friends, baggage and good bys were mixed up indiscriminately, but Leigh was very still. He could hear his anxious heart beat out its suspense in great suffocating leaps, as the fateful train thun dered in. Sure enough, there was Miss Summcrfield ; and the fine-looking young man who helped her alight also took charge of her bag gage Heaven have mercy! Were gossip nnd Joe Antrim right, after all? Hut pshaw! any chivalrous fellow traveler would have done ns much. Notwithstanding this plausible thought, Icigh slipped into the home-bound coach like a thief, taking the corner seat in the rear end of the car. When Miss Summcrfield came in, the terrible groom-to-be, to whom the bridal party had dwindled, even he, was not in attendance. Marie carried her own "grip." The man felt a tremor of hope quiver all over him, something like an electric cur rent. She took the third seat from the door and lenned her head on her hnnd weari ly. A strange air for a bride, thought the man in the corner. He could not see her lin WHISPERED: MARIE." face, but some way lie felt that this New Y'ear's Eve was not what she wished. U, was she in trouble, too? lie had half u mind to go to her; the scat directly behind her was providentially empty; he could whisper "Marie" over the back of her seat hen his courage warranted it. At the next stop ho took advantage of the stir of the passengers and slipped into the coveted groove. Hlessed privilege! He had not been noar, so near her lor years, and his heart was on fire. When he could wait no longer, he w hispered over the bar rier: "Mane!" She looked up, surprised and Btnrtlcd. After the confusion had left her lovely face, she gave him her hand gingerly and nsked in strained tones: flow came you here, Mr. Heyburn?" I could not help it, he confessed, flush ing, but loomng stmignt at ner. i wnniea to be near you once more. You don t know- how miserable 1 am without you." There wns a world of emotion in the un dertone, but he kept bravely on: 1 came down to Kockland for nothing else than that I might get a glimpse of you. 1 felt it would comfort me to ride home in the same coach to-night of all nights." He stopped nnd looked at her in such a pit iful, hungry-hearted way. It was all out now, this confession of bis. lie meant to make it at the risk of everything before his heart failed him and he had done so. Of course she could do what she pleased with it, aud him, too; he had staked and would win, or lose, all. Putting his elbow on the barrier and leaning a little toward her, he waited for her to speak. And her face was a study. Presently she gasped out: Then you aren't to be married to-night?" The interrogation snapped the last thread holding Leigh Ileyburn's great love in re serve. Marie, darling!

Kightecn hundred and ninety nine bad been what he called a "corker." In other words, it hud been vastly unsatis factory. He wns young and handsome, nnd the poorest lawyer in the city, both as to finance and legal ability. And he rightly attributed this dual poverty to a pair of brown eyes. Had he devoted ns much of 8!lD to the study of law ns lie had to those brown eyes, he would have progressed vast ly in legal lore. "And, by Jove!" he cried, bringing down, his list, "I will not waste another minute on the little coipictte! I have let her play hob with me long enough, nnd to-night I draw the line nnd dismiss the easel" Having said which, he took up his pen and wrote the following ironclad resolu tion: "Chicago, Jan. 1, ISM. "I hereby resolve nnd promise during this year Just arrived to have nothing whatever to do with Anita Para Atkins. "JOHN 1IOUHS." Having written this, he appended the following: "I, .lohn TTohhs, hnvlng appeared before me, John llobbs, a notary public for the county of Cook, mate of Illinois, do most solemnly swear that I will keep the above resolution.

There is a technical error in it! I have succumbed to the inevitable force of habit, and dated it 181)0, instead of WOO! Anita, my darling, I am free!" With a cry of joy he coiled the sworn resolve into a lighter, and lighted his pipe with it. Some people swear when they date every thing incorrectly on the first day of a new yenr.

ORK attention is paid to New Y'ear's in our national capital, ashifig- ton, than in any other city in the United States. The state levee at the white house is but the beginning of tho calling that continues throughout the aft ernoon and well into the night in oilicial and private houses. In fact, the social season is formally inaugurated on New Year's day. It is grand rallying day, and men call then who never emerge from their shell ugain during the year. Lists are published in the newspapers of the house ...I ,,-ill l, l.nl.l u-ltti tlm niicic itiuiiniuii i ti, ...... ...v . ,,f the nssistinu women.

An orange stuck with cloves was the common gift of poor people. Among the rich, gloves were a popular pres ent, and often a sum of money, culled glove money, served as a substitute. When pins were invented they took the place of gloves, and every wunian was promt ot her collec tion of pins made from thorns, bone, silver, gold or steel. The expression, pin money, wns originally used to designate the money often presented in lieu of the pins for their purchase. I'nder good Queen liess tho custom of giving presents on New Year's was at its high water mark, nnd tho most extravagant packages were distributed an onymously with no inscription but a verse expressing greetings. According to an old superstition, one' luck for the year is dependent on the com plexion of the first man who calls. If he is a blonde, fate will be kind, but if a dark-complexioned man steps over tho threshold first, sickness, trouble nnd finan cial disaster nre apt to step with him. So firmly was this superstition implanted in the mind of an elderly woman that she made arrangements every year by which her first caller was sure to be of a light complexion. The holiday revels in Knglnnd end with Twelfth Night. In America they nre drawn to u close with the New Y'ear celebration. The stripping of the Christ inas tree, which properly takes place New Y'ear's Kve, is frequently made the ex cuse for a jolly party. There is very likely to be a package on the tree for each one present, containing a joke that will be as good-natured as it is amusing. Drink Ills Only Solnoe Now.

I'Krnr)' Which Mas Confront Them. for J lie American locomotive engineer (it ems it advisable to design his engino with n large margin of power. If un express engine is designed to tnke a I'DO ton loud ut jl) miles an hour, mid if thnt loud should happen to be incrciiscd to IHiO tons, the locomotive is still expected to be nble to tnke it and keep time, ar.d usually does so. Such, at uny rate, is the experience of such un impartial a ml lcvel-hetuled observer us Mr. W. M. Ac worth. If nil American express be late at one point of its journey the engine is c::pecicd to make up the lost time even if the load be larger than usual. And, iig'ain, this is generally done, bays the Kiigiutcring Magaine. Hut if un English engine is given a single coach above its prescribed load t lie driver at once insists upon huviugii "pilot," ar.d commonly he gets one. Or should the weather be bad, with strong side wind or u slippery rail, lie demands un assisting engine, and is accorded one, as a matter of course. Obviously this up plics especially to the case of single wheelers, which are so largely used on some Knglish railways because their range of power is much more sharply limited by adverse conditions than is the cuse with coupled engines. Hut in either cuse it seems indisputable that n smaller range of power is given to an Knglish locomotive thnn to an Ameri can. v Words for Old Things.
