Never beforo in the history of tho country has there been such national prosperity. In manufactures, in iinance, in crops, aud in almost every particular the groat republic has been exceedingly blessed. There have been no great pidemics. no overwhelming disasters or catastrophes,aud with tho exception of the anthracite strike aud tho Venezuelan imbrogilo have there been ranch to causde fear,and happily both of theso troubles are being ad justed. As a nation we have no rea son to look back with sadness or regret at tho closing of the old year, and with the first day of the year, a shin ing path stretches out before us, illu mined by tho light of marvelous things accomplish >d in tho twelve mouths gone. It seems that for tho coming year all tho years that have passed be foro have been but tho preparation,and that now we are to enter into tho en joyment of tho fruition of tho ages. And so it is. Such is every new year; tin- world is advancing, step by step, each year better than tho year before. If we do not soothe betterment at the moment, it is because our vision is finite aud cannot pierco tho clouds which may have gathered; but reason as well as faith assures us that there is 110 stop nor stay in the great evolu tion, that the race of man climbs up ward with every journey of tho earth about tiie sun. Our people close tho old year with no misgivings, aud face the new not only courageously but joyously. As all tilings have gous well with them since the new century camo in, they size aud interpret the omens for yet better things in tho im mediate future. They stand on the hilltop of anticipation, eager to press forward to what is before them, con fident of good fortune. And we have full faith that the glowing visions of our people will be realized. While we rejoico as a nation, how is it with us individually. The man or woman who lets the season go by— the parting of the old and the entry of the new—without some mental and moral stocktaking is hardly possessed of tho qualities of character that find a useful plac » in the task of helping tiie world along to a better civiliza tion. If we iiavo a lot of old and bad accounts on hind in tho shapi of nar row prejudices or old musty theories that have been tried and found fail ures, the best thing to do is to credit them to the "profit and loss" sheet and let it go at that. Wo should lose them and at tho same time profit by what their very failures teach us. The new year is an excellent t.im • for pen pie to be what they so rarely have tho courage to attempt—absolutely honest with themselves. Never mind about tho mistakes and the loss sand the little humiliations that this |. roc ess will entail. Fac3 the situation, moral, mental aud material, in which you actually find yourn If for the sole pur poso of being helped for one year to como, and you will be astonished at tho impulse aud uplift you will get from tho procoss. Be honest with your own experiences and profit by them. One Hundred Dollars a Box. Is the value H. A. Tisdale, Summer ton, S. C., places oil DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve.

The most notable attraction of the •eas'jn wa; presented at the Opera Ileus - List night, the plav beiuj: "The Lily and the Prince" with Mildred Holland in the role of " Angel i Di Savelli". Danville audi-nces are not over cie m msrntive, yet la-t night in several In-st-anees th<- house was carried away by til** forvot, llie illusionary i fleet, of Mi-s Holland's acting and burst into storm- cd applause. Tile large company was exc idingly well !».11 tiled, in ide up of clever and talented poj 10. Tiie costumes were among the 111 »st beautiful ever seen on the local stag'. The sivne y was all now. The audience made up of an intelligent aud discriminating class of theatre goers, wis a very large one, completely filling the entire build ing. The first and second acts of the play brought out the beautiful scenes of Florence and Rome. Miss Holland is especially magnificent iu the third act, depicting the "Fortress of St. Angelo" at Rome. A scene in the corridor is followed by the scene of the Inquisi tion hall, which is wierdly myster ious. The Council, as they sit upon a dias.with a background of jetty black ness, produced by velvet hangings, appear as a ghoulish lot to whom the life of prisoners has little value. This act is extremely impressive aud is really the dramatic climax of the play. Miss Holland here displayed her remarkable talent to a splendid de gree, first essaying the role of a sup pliant and then changing to a denun ciator as with flashing eye and im passioned tones she points out tho traitor right in the heart of the Coun cil. The scene is brought to a startl ing close by "Cardinal Capua" un masking in time to checkmate tlie at tempt of tiie Duke to have the girl murdered for her bold stand. The last act is giv« n up to unraveling the plot concocted by tho "Duchess Bor/.ia" to ruin "Angola." In this scene, which is Iho art gallery adjoining a ball room, is displayed magnificent cost umes which will attract attention wherever the company appears "Angela," "Silvio," with the "Priuce" and tho "Duchess" appear in strong dramatic roles in this act, Miss Holland sharing honors with them. But to Miss Holland alone is not duo all the honors of the evening. "The Lily and the Priuce" is a play which brings several characters into a prom inence equal to that of the great emo tional actress. The acting ot Miss Lillian Norris, who essayed tho role of tho "Duchess of Ferrarre," rivall ed that of tho star, aud she was ac corded a generous share of applause. The tolling of a mere outline of the story can give no adequate idea of the play's strength nor can it show tho intense heart interest that runs through the entire piece. Tho crowned heads of evorv nation The rich men, poor men, and misers All join in paying tribute to DeWitt's Little Early Risres. H.

ANOTHER SLICK SWINDLER. Several days ago there arrived in Bloomsburg yo;rig m ..i ,viu claim,.». to be from Sunbury, aud that he was representing the J. B. Miller Paper Company, of that place. The object nf his was for the purpose of Ini.ving up old newspapers from the news agents. He stated that the com pany had a pulp mill at Sbrunokiii anil had a process by which the ink and printing was taken out of the paper and again manufactured iuto white paper. Ho was not a very genteel looking chap, but was possessed of a very slick tongue, ho being a good talker. He called on tlio newsdealers of Bloonisbnrg and made an offer of forty-five cents per hundred pounds for old folded newspapers, which was about twice as much as they had been receiving for the paper, and that be would pay drayago to the depot and also the freight. He succeeded in getting about two tons of paper and had it shipped to Sunbury. It was presumed that he was to settle for theiu after the weight had been known, but he quietly took a sneak, forgetting to make any ex planation with the newsdealers. Dur ing his short stay in Bloomsburg ho stopped at the Central hotel, and it has since been learned that in his hurry to get out of the town he neg lected to settle his bill at that hostelry, neither did ho with the newsdealers or the drayman. It is stated that such a party is unknown and that it is a fake pure and simple News agouts along the Susquehanna river should be very careful in their dealing with this gentleman representing the "Mill er Paper Company."

This little story is one which has Dt*eu often told, but may be unfamiliar to the young readers of today: The celebrated Dean Swift was nev er considered a generous man. lie liv ed, as did many a poor writer in those days, upon the bounty of a great pa tron and was so accustomed to being the recipient of favors and gifts that the idea of his bestowing gifts upon ethers never occurred to him. Now, it chanced upon a certain occa sion that a neighbor sent him a present of a fine fish. The boy who brought it had been on similar errands before and was rather tired of Dean Swift's cool way of accepting gifts, so on this spe cial morning he pushed open the door in his rudest manner and tltmg the iish upon the table. "Master sent it!" he snapped and turned to run away, but the dean de tained him. "You are very rude," lie said severe ly, rising and eying the culprit.' "jlere, sir, take my chair, and 1 will show you the proper way in which to deliver a present." Thereupon the dean took up the lish and, walking to the door, knocked mod estly on the outside. "Come iu," said the boy. lie entered, went up to the cliair and bowed respectfully. "My master pre sents his compliments, sir," said the dean In his softest tones, "and begs your acceptance of this modest offer ing." The boy, entering into the spirit of the play, received the !ish with all the courtliness of the dean h'msclf. "Thank your master for me most earnestly, my good boy; and here"— putting his hand in his pocket "is a half crown for your pains." It is needless to say that the dean saw the point and accepted the hint, after a hearty laugh, in which the boy joined. Tommy and Ills Diary. lie was only a little boy, and his fa ther had bought him a booK in which he could write each day's doings. This book, or diary, as it is called, was the boy's lirst, and he was very proud of it, for it had a red cover and a very pretty picture upon the front. Now. Tommy meant to begin his book well and early, so he carefully wrote, "(Sot up at 7." Then, according as he had been told, he took it to his teacher for her approval. The way she opened her eyes made him feel very uncomfortable, and he began to fear some one had been tampering with his records. "Got up," :die screamed, "got up! You naughty boy! Does the sun get up? No; it rises." Very neatly she scratched out the words and made him write, "Rose at 7." This settled Master Tom; no mor« mistakes of this kind for hlui again. So on retiring for the night he wrote, with the air of a man who knew his business well, "Set at 8." Hobble's (iucntlon. The scholars were standing in two little rows, The sun through the window shone bright, While soft littlo airs on the tips of their toes Came tripping with April delight, And Bobby looked as they gently went by; They told him a tale of the spring And talk of the clouds In the happy, blue sky And all that the summer would bring. He heard not the voice of the teacher at all; His thoughts had gone out with the sun. He stood with the others, his back to the wall. Absorbed till the lesson was done. "Now ask me- some Questions," the teach er had cried. "Just any that chance to occur." Bob's lingers went up, and he solemnly sighed, "liow long till the holidays, sir?"

"Why, mamma." said the sweet tem pered Dorothy sorrowfully, "I saw a man aud woman sitting side by side and quarreling.

A friend of ours while looking for a farm two years ago in a locality where good land touched SOO per acre, which price was a little too high for him, found what was called the poorest quarter section In the township for sale at ?:}.'! per acre—a peaty marsh, largely. He quietly took a few levels and found out that there was ample fall to easily drain the tract and then bought the land, the neighbors all calling him a foolish man for Investing. The land was drained, and any of the men who poked fun at liini would now be very glad If they could raise such crops of millet, corn, potatoes and timothy as he does.

The sun was shining brightly, and only a few floating clouds broke the clear blue of the broad sky. "Rain!" ; said the other derisively. "And out of that sky? You're a pessimist. You al ways carry an umbrella." "I'll bet you a good dinner that it will rain within six hours," the first speaker replied with imperturbable good nature and gravity. The bet was made, and the bet was paid for by the man who doubted. It rained in less than four hours. "Now, if you will come around to my room 1 will show you how 1 knew it was going to rain," said the prophet, who was without honor in his own country. So there they went. Now the prophet was an original sort of a chap and has fastened on the walls of bis room many strange things of the sea and forest and field. On the floor were flung skins of bear and deer and moun tain lion, and on the wall near a win dow stretched from the top of the high wainscoting to within half a foot of the floor was the grewsoine skin of a giant diamond back rattlesnake. The prophet pointed to it and said, "There's my se cret." The skin was dripping wet. The sweat, so to speak, sto id out upon i:s scaly back in huge drops, which would swell and swell and -i! ntly run to gether in little streamlets, which in turn would rush down in an ;r. 1 i !•<• of other drops and rea< li the;!*. > \. th a splash like a ;:rcat tc. r. lv crything else in thi room was a dr.. a the humid atmosphere of a city after a thunderstorm would allow.

In the winter of course the sweat is not so profuse, because the air is drier than in summer. "Why the snnkcskiu should be so sensitive to changes in atmospheric conditions I do not know.

I'A, API:IL*2L I '.Mr_\ MOV EH BROS. DEAR SII:.— I think that every, man that has a team of horses or any stock. ought t<> have a bottle of Mover's White Liniment in the stable or his house. I hail a | horse that stepped in a hole with his front foot, coming down the monntain with a trail of props, and fell forward and strained his shoulder blade. That it swelled so fast, that we cnld hardlr ! get the collar off. and in two hours his neck was swollen to all the skin would hold. We ilsed your White Liniim nt freely,and in a few days he was to work again, and does nut show any signs .»f I lameness. It worked like magic. Respectfully Yours, J. A. BARTHAHT. K H *.
