A village clergyman tells this story: He was walking through the outskirts of his garish one evening, when he saw one of his parishioners very busy whitewashing his cot" tag*. Pleased at these somewhat novel signs of cleanliness, he called out: “Well, Jones, I see you are making your house nice and smart/' With a mysterious air Jones, who had recently taken the cottage, descended from the ladder, and slowly walked to the hedge which separated the garden from the road. “That's not 'xactly the reason why I'm a doing of this 'ere job,” he whispered, “but the last two couples as Bred in this 'ere cottage 'ad twins; so I says to my missus, I’ll take an' whitewash the glace, so as there mayn’t be no infection.

AS THE YEABS HO BY Dr. Talm&ge Preaches ) a Sermon Suitable to New Year’s. H» Peepcttea m Hew Wmy of Meaaairiag Bftrthlx Existence—From the Text “How Old Art Washington. Jan. 1—(Copyright. 1898.). Appropriate to the exit of one year Snd the entrance of another year are lie practical suggestions which Or. Tails age pats in this discourse, which propose a different mode of measuring ' time from that ordinarily employed; j text. Genesis 47:8: “How old art thqh?” The Egyptian capital was the focus of the world’s wealth. In ships and ! barges there had been brought to it from India frankincense and cinnamon and ivory and diamonds; from the north marble and iron; from Syria, I purple and silk; from Greece, some of the finest horses of the world and some of the most brilliant chariots, and from all the earth that which could best please the eye and charm the ear and gratify the taste. There were temples -aflame with red aandstoae, entered by the gateways that were guarded bypillars bewildering with hieroglyphics and wound with brazen serpents and adorned with winged creatures—their eyes and beaks and pinions glittering with precious stones. There were marble columns blooming |ato white flower beds. There were stone pillars, at the top bursting into the shape oMhe lotus when in full bloom. Along the aiVenues^ lineld with sphinx and fane and obelisk there -* were princes who came in gorgeously upholstered palanquins, carried by servants in scarlet or elsewhere drawn by vehicles, the snow white horses, golden bitted and six abreast, dashing at full run. On the floors of riiosaic the glo

ries of Pharaoh were spefled out in letters of porphyry and beryl and flame. There were ornaments twisted from the wood of tamarisk, embossed with irilver breaking into foam. There were footstools made out of a single precious stone. There were beds fashioned out of a crouched lion In bronze. There were chairs spotted withjthe sleek hides of leopards. There wefe sofas footed v •with the claws of wild beasts and armed with the beaks of birds. As you stand on the level beacb of the sea cn a summer day and look either way, and there are miles of breakers, wh:te with the ocean foam, dashing shoreward, so it seemed as if tbe sea of the world’s pomp and wealth in the Egyptian capital for miles and miles flung itself up into white breakers of marble temple, mausoleum and; obelisk. It was to this capital, and the palace of Pharaoh that Jacob. the plain shepherd. came to meet his son Joseph, who I had become prime minister, in the royal apartment. Pharaoh and Jacob met, ' dignity and^rusticity, the gracefulness of .the court and Jthe plain manners of the field. The king, wanting to make the old countryman at ease and seeing how white his beard is and how feeble his step, looks familiarly into his face and says to the aged man: “How old art thou?” Last night the gate of jetetnity opened to let in, amid the great throng of departed centuries, the soul of the dying year. Under the twelfth stroke of the brazen hammer of the City clock the patriarch fell dead, and'the stars of the right were the funeral torches It is most fortunate that on this road of life there are so many milestones, on which we can read just how fast we are going toward the journey’s end. I feel that it is not an inappropriate question that I ask to-day whgn I look into your faces and say, as Pharaoh did to Jacob, the patriarch: “How old art thou?” People who are truthful on every other subject lie about their ages* so that I do not solicit from you any literal response to the question I have asked. I would put no one under temptation: but I simply wsjnt this morning to see by what rod it is we are measuring our earthly existence. There‘is a right way and a wrong way of measuring o'Ur earthly existence. There is a right way and a wrong way of measuring a door, or a wall, or an arch, or a tower, and so there is a right way and a wrong way of measuring our earthly existence. It is with reference to this higher meaning that I confront you this morning with the stupendous question cf the text., and ask:! “How old art’ thou?” 6 Again, I remark that there are many who estimate their life on earth by their sorrows and misfortunes. Through a great many of your lives the plowshare hath gone very deep, turning up a terrible furrow. You have been betrayed end misrepresented and set upon and

slapped of impertinence and pounded, of misfortune. The brightest life must have its shadows and the smoothest path its thorns. On the happiest brood the hawk pounces. |No escape from trouble of some kindj While glorious John Milton was losing his eyesight he heard that Salmasius was glad of it. While Sheridan’s comedy was being enacted in Drury Lane theater, London, his enemy sat growling at it in the stage box. While Bishop Cooper was surrounded by the favor of learned men. his wife took his lexicon manuscript, the result of a longlife of anxiety and tojl, and threw it into the fire. Misfortune, trial, vexation for almost everyone. Pope, applauded of all the world, has a stoop in the shoulder that annoys him so much that he has a tunnel dug so that he may go unobserved from garden to grotto and from grotto to garden. Cano, the famous Spanish artist, is disgusted with the crucifix that the priest holds before him because it is such a poor specimen of sculpture. And so, sometimes through taste and sometimes through learned menace and sometimes through physical distresses —aye. in 10.000 ways—-troubles come to harass and annov j

Anil yet it is unfair to measure a mao's life by his misfortunes, because where there U one stalk of nightshade there are SO marigolds and harebell!*; where there is one cloud thunder charged there are hundreds tbit stray across the heavens, the glory of Jan 3 and sky asleep in their bosom. Because death came and took your child away, did you immediately forget ail the five years, or the ten years, or the IS years, in which she came every night for a kiss, ail the tones of your heart peaK ing forth at the sound of her voiee or the soft touch of her hand? Because iu sr me financial Euroclvdon your fortune went into the breakers, did you forget ell those years iu which the luxuries and extravagances of life showered on your path? Alas, that is an unwise man, an ungrateful man, an unfair man, an unphilo&ophic man, and, most of ail, an un-Christian man, who measures hU life on earth by groana and tears and dyspeptic fit and abuse and scorn and terror and nefilr&lgic thrust. Again. 1 remark that there are many people who estimate their life on earth by the amount of money they have accumulated. They say: “The year I860, or 1870, or 1893. was wasted.” Why? “Made no money.” Now it is all cant and insincerity 'to talk against money, as though it had ho value. It may represent refinement and education and 10,000 blessed surroundings. It is the spreading of the table that feeds the children’s hunger. It is the lighting of the furnace that keeps you warm. It is the making of the bed on which you rest from care and anxiety It is the carrying of you out at last to decent sepulcher and the putting up cf the slab on which is chiseled the story of your Christian hope. It is simply hypocrisy, this tirade in pulpit and lectfire hall against money.

iiut wane an tms is sc. ne wno use* money or thinks of money as anything but a means to an end will find out lys mistake wheu the glittering treasures slip out of his neiprfeless grasp and be goes out of this World without a shilling of money or a certificate of stock. He might better hare been the Christian porter that opened his gate, or the begrimed workman who last night heaved the coal into his cellar. Bonds and mortgages and leases have their use.^but they make a poor yardstick with which to measure life. “They ' that boast themselves in their wealth and trust in the multitude of their riches, none of them can, by any means, redeem his brother or give to God a ransom for him that he should not see corruption.’* But I remark there are many—fwish there were more—who estimate their life by the moral and spiritual development. s ' I remark again, there arc many—and I wish there were more—who are estimating life by the good they can do. John Bradford said he counted that day nothing at all in which he bad not, by pen or tongue, done some good. If a man begin right, 1 cannot tell how many tears he may wipe jtway, how many burdens he may lift, how many orphans he may comiarf^ how many outcasts he may reclaim. There have been men who have given their whole life in the right direction, concentrating all their wit and ingenuity and mental acumen and physical force and enthusiasm for Christ. They climbed the mountain and delved into the mine and crossed the sea and dropped at last into martyrs’ graves waiting for the resurrection of the just. They measured their-lives by the chains they broke off, by the garments they put upon nakedness, by the miles they traveled to alleviate every kind of suffering. They felt in the thrill of every nerve, in the motion of every muscle*in every throb of their heart, in every respiration of their lungs the magnificent truth, “No man liveth unto himself.” They went through cold and through heat, foot blistered, cheek smitten, back scourged, tempest lashed, to do their whole duty. That is the way they measured life—by the amount of good they could do. Do you want to know how old Luther was; how old Richard Baxter was; how old Philip Doddridge was? Why, you cannot calculate the- length of their lives by any human arithmetic! Add to their lives 10.000 times 10.000 years and you have not expressed it—

wnai iney nave iitco or wm nve. un, what a standard that is to measure a man’s life by! There are those in this house who think they have only lived 30 years. They will have lived 1.000— j they have lived 1,000. There are those | who .think they are 80 years of age. j They have not even entered upon their infancy, for one must become a babe in Christ to begin at all. 4 New, I do not know what your ad- | vantages or disadvantages are; 1 do j not know what your tact or talent is: *1 do not know what may bethefascina- j tion of your manners or the repulsive- | ness of them; but 1 know this—there is j for you, my hearer, a field to culture, a harvest to reap, a tear to wipe away, a soul to save. If you have worldly means, consecrate them to Christ. If you have eloquence, use it on the side that Paul and Wilberforce used theirs. | If you have learning, put it all into the i poor box of the world's suffering. But j if you have none of these—neither j wealth, nor eloquence* nor learn- j ing—you. at any rate, have a smile with which yoi can encourage : the disheartened; a frown with which j you may blast injustice; a voice with > which you may call the wanderer back to God. “Oh.” you say, “that is a very i sanctimonious view of life!** It is not. j It is the only bright view of life, and it is the only blight view of death, trast the death scene of a man who has measured life by the worldly standard with the death scene of a man who has measured life by the Christiau standard. Quin, the actor, in his last moments, said: “1 hope this tragic scene wiN soon be over, and 1 hope to keep my dignity to the last, Malesherbes said in his last moments to the ‘■mpfenor: “Hold your tongue 1 Your

miserable style puis me »ui oti ueeu with Heaven.” Lord Chesterfield 41 his last moments, when he ought t have teen praying for his sou!, bo lered bimself about the proprieties Lf tt3 sickroom aod said: ^Uiv* Day! jies a chair.** Godfrey KnelteKspent 1 s last hours on earth in drawing^ diag un of bis own monument. ^ Compare the silly and horrible t parture of such men with the se ipitic glow on the face of Edward Payt-iu. as he said in his last moment: “The breezes of Heaven fan me. I fir st in a sea qf glory.** Or with Paul the I apostle, who said in his last hou : “1 am now ready to be offered up, at 1 the lime of my departure ia at har d. 1 have fought the good fight, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up lor me a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give, me.” Or compare It with the Christian deathbed that you witnessed in your own- household. Oh, my friends, this world is a false god! ,Jt wilt consume you with the blaze in which it accepts your sacrifice, while the righteous shall be held in everlasting remembrance. and when the thrones have fallen and the monuments have erum-. bled and the wirld has perished they shall banquet with the conquerors of earth ana the hierarchs of Heaven. This is a good day in w hich to begin a new style of measurement. Ho\f old art thou? You see the Christian way of measuring life and the worldly way of measuring it. 1 leave it to you to say which is the wisest and best, way; The wheel of time has turned very swiftly, and.it has hurled ns on. They old year has gone. The new year has come. For what you and I have been launched upon it God only know*. Nowlet me ask you all, have you made any preparation for the future? You have made preparation for time, my dear brother; have you made any preparation for eternity ?, Do you wonder that when that man on*the Hudson river, in indiguatiou tore up the tract which was handed to him and just one word landed on his coat sleeve—the rest of the tract being pitched into the river— that one word aroused his soul? It was that one word, so long, so broad, so high, so deep—•‘eternity!’* A dying woman in her last moments said: “Cali it buck.” They said: “What do you want?” “Time,” she said; “call it back!” Oh, it cannot be called back! We might lose our fortunes and call them bhek, we might lose our health and perhaps recover it, we might lose cur good name and get that back, but time gone is gtme-forevrr.

Some of you during the past year made preparation for eternity, and it makes no difference to you really, as to the matter of safety, whether you go now or go some other year—whether this year or the next year. Both your feet on the rock, the waves may dash around you. You can say: “God is cur refuge and strength—a very present help.” You are on the rock, and you may defy all eartfiand hell to overthrow you. I congratulate you. I give you great joy. It is4.happy new year to you. I can see no sorrow $t all in the fact that our years are going. You hear some people say: _“I wish I could go baek again to boyhood.” I would not want to go back again to boyhood, i am afraid 1 might make a worse Jife out of it than 1 have made. You could not afford to go back to boyhood if it were possible. You might do a great deal worse than you have done. The past is gone! Look out for the future! To-all Christians it is if time of gladness? I am glad the years are going. You are coming on nearer home. Let your countenance light- up with the thought. Nearer home! ? New, when one can sooner get to the center of things, is he not to be congratulated ? Who wants to be always in the freshman class? We study God in this world by the Biblical photograph of Him; but we all know we can in five minutes of interview with a friend get a more accurate idea of Him than we can by studying Bim 50 years through pictures or words. The little ch?Id that died at six months of age knows more of God than all Andover and all Frinceton and ail New Brunswick. h Does not our common sense teach'ns that it is better to be at the center than to be clear out on the rim of the wheel, holding nervously fast to the tire lest wc be suddenly hurled ino i’ght and eternal felicity? Through all kinds of optical instruments trying to peer in through the cracks and the keyholes of Heaven—afraid that both doors of tbs celestial mansion will be swung Wide; open before our entranced vision -rushing about among the apothecary shops of this world, wondering if this is good for rheumatism, and that is good for neuralgia, and something else is good for a bad cough, lest we be suddenly ushered into a land of everlasting

Jiealtn wnere toe locabitant never says: “lam sick.” In 1835 the French resolved that at Ghent they would have a kind of musical demonstration that had never been heard of. (It would be made up of the chimes of bells and the discharge of cannon. The experiment was a perfect success. What with the ringing of the bells and the report of the ordnance, the city trembled, and the hills khook with the triumphal march that »ts as strange as it was overwhelming. With a most glorious accompaniment will God’s dear ehildren go into their high residence when the trumpets shall sound and the last day has come. At the signal given, the bells of the tower s, ana of the lighthouses, and of the cities vrili strike their sweetness into a last chime that shall ring into the heavens and float off upon the sea. joined by the boom of bursting mine and magazine, augmented by all the cathedral towers of Heaven—the harmonies of ea-f h and the symphonies of the celestial realm making up one great triumphal march, fit to celebrate the ascent; of the redeemed to where they shall shineas the •tars forever end

The Patriotic Committee Decided to Yield,Without Reservation, to Gen. Broofce’s Wishes. CELEBRATION WILL COME LATER ON. Gen. L.n«llow EipMnrd tb« Mtnlloa to ThfO »nd tibtiwrd How Inopportune, In Ttow of Unsettled Condition of Affairs, a Oeueral ( elebration at Thin Time Would Ba Havana Dec. 31.—The Cuban Patriotic committee, consisting of 150 leading Cubans, lawyers, doctors and business men, at a meeting which lasted until 4 a. m., decided to yield without reservation to the wishes of Gen. Brooke and Gen. Ludlow iit the matter of postponing the six days’ celebrations,- and has approved a manifesto to the Cuban population of Ha vans,on the lines of Gen. Ludlow’s reply on the subject of the proposed eelebrations, quoting some portions of it and paraphrasing others, f /

The1 Cuban citizens m Havana and the Cuban soldiers outside the city are j intensely excited, but the patriotic j committee and the military chiefs of ; the Cubans think they can quiet this feeling and prevent violent incidents. GEN. LUDLOW'S LETTER. • The following is the text of Gen. Ludlow’s reply to the Cuban deputation which visited him Wednesday and [ presented him with a written programme of the six days' festivities: Messrs Mora, Xunez and others representing the Patriotic committee of Havana: i Gentlemen—I have given careful consideration to the matter of the proposed celebration of Cuban citizens of Havana during next week, on the exchange ofna- ! } tional flags that will take place on JanS uary 1. as I promised you. 1 have taken occasion also to ascertain the views of | Maj.-Gen. Brooke, commanding the dii vision of Cuba, upon the subject. I rei grent to inform you that a celebration of I this character must at this time be ! deemed inexpedient, and can not for the j presept be authorized for the following i reasons: ! ' First. Havana has for a long time sufI fered from ^strife and contention, and it is the supreme duty of all at this critical [ period to suppress disorder and preserve i public peace. All other - considerations, for the moment, should give way to this. Second. At the present time the only effect lye means of maintaining order la the presence of United States troops in the city, since the local police in several districts' have disappeared with the departure of the!*fjpantsh soldiers. Third, It is in the interests of both citizens generally, and particularly of the more distinctively Cuban citizens themselves; that the occasion be one of peace and order and of quiet rejoicing only, and that everyone should be controlled by a patriotic desire to do what is best for tho community. t “ Fourth. The American authorities sympathize fully with the- Cuban feeling of • rejoicing, and at a proper time hereafter, when affairs are in a more settled condition, they will be glad to further and participate in the plans of the celebration; but they are convinced that this is not a suitable or expedient time for It. ABSOLUTE QUIET REIGNS. The city and suburbs of Havana are absolutely quiet and Thursday night there was not one instance of disorder. The United States patrols and officers Were keenly on the alert, penetrating into every edrner of the town. Senor Frederico Mora said to a press corresponuei.t: “We are sorry we cannot execute our programme, <*but we agree with Gen. Ludlow’s desire. He will have difficulty in keeping the low pieople down and restraining the young people in the army; but we are sure no acts of disturbance will occur. Nothing will be done ih combination against the American wishes. Now !s> Cuba’s opportunity. If we go wrong now we sifall never attain indepenrdenpeT^he.'^r reach national life, and the AmaMcans would never leave Cuba/^ J RIVED AT BOMBAY. .

Arrival and Reception of the Mew Viceroy of India and Family at * $ I Bombay. 1 Bombay, Dec. 31.—Baron Curzon at Kcdleston, the new viceroy of India, arrived here Thursday from England, with Lady Curzon and their children. The warships in port fired a royal salute as the viceroy landed. The city was decorated with flags, and Lord Curzon was received, by the heads of the military, naval, ecclesiastical, legal and civil departments. An address of welcome was presented by the corporation of Bombay. It was inclosed in a silver casket of Indian workmanship, and expressed the gratification experienced by all classes at bis appointment . Lord Curzon. replying, thanked those present for the gracious welcome extended to him and to his wife, who, he added, come to India with sympathies as warm as his own, and who looked forward with earnest delight to a life of a happy labor in their midst.

A Lml-Hended Old I'ntrhiu»n. Pretoria, Dec. 31.—Strong representations have been made to President Kruger urging him to forbid the proposed celebration, on January 2, of the defeat*of the Jamieson raid, when, at the suggestion of the Pretoria Volks Stein, the project was to burn Dr.’Jamieson in effigy. Owing to the president’s diction the celebration has been abandoned. There is no doubt that such an observance of Jamieson day, as planned, would have led to serious riots. Coanmodoro Philip En Route to HU New . ■ Foot. ^ Waycross, Ga.. Dec. 31.—Commodore J. W. Philip, late captain of the battleship Texas, passed through Waycross en route to Brooklyn, X. Y., where he will assume command of the Brooklyn navy yard. British Steamer Wrecked Hong Kong, Dec. 21.—The British steamer Glen Avon, Capt. Pithie,which sailed for London from here Thursday evening, ha? been wrecked on a lock. Part of her crew has been saved and landed here. .

Toronto, Nor. LOth.—The 1?i meats oo the report of the United Empire trade leagi e on theca parity at Canada as a granary for Britain. The report refers to Manitoba as follows: Manitoba has an area of 47 million* acres. Deducting ten million for lakes, rirers, townsitc , and waste land, TT,000.000 acres art1 left for farm cultivation or homes for 115.000 families on 320 acres each and as up to now there are only 27,000 farmers, there altogether, that leaves room in one province for 89,008 more wheat growers. Supposing, then, we got them there and each one of them out of his $29 acres grows on an average 100 acres jit 20 bushels to the acre, if yon figure it up you will find it is quite possible for Manitoba alone to supply us with all the wheat we require from abroad. It is only a question of morey, and. comparatively speaking, not money either. The cost of one first-clrss battleship (about £750,000) would put 5.090fanijliesonto farms in the Norm West,flowing £1M to each to find hem in implements, needs, horses, &Js. Wottf|;?keep them until thtir flx^ crop was harvested. Five thousand farmers! averaging 100 acres of wheat each at 20 bushels to the acre, means an extra 10,060.000 bushels, for if that sche a® is not liked Britain would put a duly on foreign wheat. In addition to the wh^t^lands of Manitoba t^ere arc the millions of acres in Assinilmi'a, Alberta and Saskatchewan. i
