A New Year's Story.

BY RUPH WENERY STUARTS

AN

-- "pvery year, my friends, { stand befo’ youan’ look throo de open gate into the new year. An’‘,’ sez ke, ‘seem likeI see a long percession 0’ people pass befo’ me~ some two by two, some one by one, some horseback, some muleback, some , afoot— some cryin’ some laughin’, some stumblin’ ez they'd walk, an’ gittin’ up agin’, some fallin’ to rise no mo’, some faces I know, some strangers.’

“An’ right here, parson, he left off fora minute, an’ then when he commenced agaip. he dropped his voice clair down into his th’oat, an’ he squinted his eyesan’ seemed to be tryin’ to see somethin’ way off like, an’ he sez, sez he:

“But, to-night,’ sez he, ‘I don’t know whar the troubleis,’ sez he, ‘but, look hard ez I can, I don’t seem to see clair, ‘cause the sky is darkened,’ sez he, ‘an’ while I see de doctor's buggy on the road, an’ hear the church bell, an’ the organ, I can’t make out nuthin’ plain, ‘cause the sky is overshaddered by a big dark cloud. An’ pow,’ sez he, ‘seem like the cloud is takin’ the shape of a great big bird. Now I see him spread his wings an’ fly intoSimpkins- ville, an’ while he hangs over it in the sky seem to me I can see eyerybody stop an’ gaze up an’ hold their breath to see where he'll light—everybody hopin’ to see him light in their tree. An’ now~—oh! now I see him comin’ down, down, down—an* now he’s done lit,’ says he, I recollect that expression o” his, ‘he’s done lit,’ sez he, ‘in the limb of a tall maginolia tree a little piece out o’ town,’

“Well, sir, when he come to the bird lightin’ in a maginolia tree, a little piece out o’ town, I tell you, parson, you could a’ heered apin drop. You see, maginolias is purty sca’ce in Simpkinsville. Plenty o’ them growin’ round the edge o' the woods, but ‘ceptin’ them thet Sonny Simpkins set outin his yard years ago, | dou’t know of any nearer than Meredith's place. An’ rightat his gate, ef you ever takin’ notice,there’s a maginolia tree purty nigh ez tall ez a post oak.

“An’ so when the ol’ nigger got to where the fine bird lit in the maginolia tree, al! them thet had the best manners, they set still, but sech ezdlidn’t Keer—an’ I was one of thet las’ sort~why we jest glanced at the city feller di-rec’ to see how he was takin’ it.

“But, sir, it didn’t ruffle one of his feathers, not a one.

“An’ thenthe nigger he wenton: Sez he, squintin’ his ees agin, an’ seemin’ tc strain his sight, sez he:

** ‘Now he’s lit,’ sez he—I wish I could give it to you in his language, but I never could talk nigger talk—‘now he’s lit,’ sez he, ‘an’ I got a good chance to study hire, sezhe. ‘I see he ain’t the same bird h: looked to be, ’fo’ he lit.

‘His wing feathers is mighty fine, an’ they rise in gorgeous plumes, but the) can’t hide nis claws,’ sez he, ‘an’ when | look closer,’ sez he, ‘I see he got owl eyes an’asharp beak, but seem like nobody can’t see’em. They all so dazzled witt his wing feathers they can’t see his claws.

***An' now whiles I’m lookin’ I see him rise up,’ sez he, ‘an’ fly three times round the tree an’ now I see him swoop down right befo’ the people’s eyes, an’ befo’ they know it, he’s riz up in the air ag’in, an’ spread nis wings, an’ the sky seems so darkened that I can’t see nothin’ clair— only a long stream 0’ yaller hair floatin’ behind him.

** ‘Now I see everybody’s heads drop, an’ I hear ’em cryin’—but,’ sez he, ‘they ain't cryin’ about the thief bird, but they cryin’ about the yaller hair—the yaller hair—the yaller hair.’

“Ain’t that about yore riccollection o’ how he expressed it?” said McMonigle, pausing now in his recital.

“Yas,” said old man Taylor, “he said it three times, I riccollect that ez long as I live—an’ the third time he said ‘the yaller hair’ he let his arms fall down at his side. an’ he sort o’ staggered back’ards, an’ turned round to Johnnie Burk an’ sez he: ‘Help me out, please, sir, I feels dizzy.’ Do you riccollect how he said that, Dan’l?

“But you're tellin’ the story. Don’t lemme interrupt you.”

“No interruption, Pete. You go on an’ tell it the way you riccollect it. I see my

“pon t like wet wood, neither. Sers mer teeth on edge. Jest listen at his quar'l while I lay it in her mouth.

“Go on, now, Pete, an’ tell the parson the rest o’ the story. ‘Toin't no more’n right thet a shepherd should know all the ins and outs 0’ his flack ef he’s goin’ to take care o’ their needs.”

“You better finish it, Dan’l,” said Taylor. “You've brought it all back a heap better’n I could a done it.”

‘Tell the truth, boys, I've got it down to where I hate togo on,” replied McMonigle, with feeling. ‘I’ve talked about the child now till I can seem to see her Httle, slim figure comin’ down the plank walk the way I've seen her a hundred times, when all the fellers settin’ out in front o’ the sto’es would slip in an’. git their coats on, an’ come back—I've done it myself an’ me a grandfather.”

“Go on, Pete, an’ finish it up. I’ve got the taste o’ tobacco smoke now, and my pipe is like the stove, Ef I neglect her she pouts.”

“J left off where ol’ Proph’ finished prophesyin’ at the old year party at mt house three year ago. I forgot totell you, parson, thet Mrs. Meredith, she never come to the party—an’ Meredith his self he only come and stayed a few minutes, an’ went home count o’ the ol’ lady bein’ by herself—so they wasn’t neither one there when the ol’ nigger spoke. An’ ef they'd ever been told what he said I don’t know —though we have got a half dozen smarfties {n town, thet would ‘a’ busted long ago ef they hadn't ‘a’ told it I don’t doulst,

“Goen, now, Pete, an’ finish. After Proph’ had got done talkin’ of co’se hand shakin’ commenced, an’ everybody was supposed to shake hands with everybody else. I reckon, parson, there knows about that—but you might tell it anyhow.”

“Of co’se, parson he knows about the handshakin’,” says Taylor, taking up the story, “because you was here last year, parson. You know that it’s the custom in Simpkinsville, at the old year party, for everybody to shakehands at twelve o'clock at the comin’ inof the new year. It's been our custom timeout o’ mind. Folks thet’ll have some fallin’ out an’ maybe not be speakin’ 'll come forward an’ shake hands an’ make up—start the new year with a clean slate.

“Why, ef twasn’t forthat, I donno what we'd do. Some of our folks is so techy an’ high strung—an’ so manyo’ ’em kin, whici makes it that much worse—thet ef twas n’t for the New Year handsbakin’, why in a few years we'd beez bad ez a deaf and dumb asylum.

“But to tell the story Ideclare, Dan'l, Tain’t no hand to tell a thing so ez to bring it befo’ yo’ eyes like youcan. i'm feerd you'll have to carry it on.”’

And so old man McMonigle, after affec tionately drawing a few puffs from his pipe, laid it on the fender before him, and took up the tale. ;

“Well,” he began as usual, ‘I reckon thot rightly speakin’ this is about the end of the first chapter.

“The handshakin’ passed off friendly enough, everybody jinin’ in, though there was women thet ‘lowed thet they bad th: cold shivers when they shuck the city fe!- ler’s hand, half expectin’ to tackle a bir + claw. An'I know thet wife an’ me—al- though understand, parson, we none 0’ u> suspicioned no harm—we was glad whe the party broke up, an’ everybody wa- gone—the higger’s words seemed to ring ia our ears so.

“Well, sir, the second chapter o’ tle story I reckon it eo 11d be told in half « dozen words, thoi gh I s’pose it holds mis ery enough to make a book.

“T never would read a book thet didn’t end right; in fact. 1 don’t think the law oughtto allow sech to be printed. We get enough wrong endin’s in life, an’ the only good book makin’ is,’ in my opinion, is to ketch up all sech stories an’ work ’em

over.

“Ef I could set down an’ tell May Day Meredith’s story to some book writer thet’d take it up where I leave off, an’ bring her back to us, she could even be raised from the dead in a book ef need be, my Lord, how Id like to read it, an’ try to b’lieve it wastrue! I’d like him to work the ol’ nigger in at the end, too, ef hedidn’t think hisself above it. A ol’ harmless, half crazy nigger, thet’s been movin’ round amongst us ali for years, is ez much misse« ez anybody else when he drops out, no body knows how. I miss Pruoph’ jest thx same ez I miss thet ol’ struck-by-lightnin sycamo’ tree thet Jedge Towns has ha

cut out of th:co’t-house yard. My mothe had my gran’pa’s pictured framed out « sycamo’ balls, gethered out o’ that tre forty year ago.

“But you see I’m makin’ every excuse to keep from goin’ on with the story, an ef it’s got to be told, well—

“Whether somebody told the Meredith: about the nigger’s prophesy, an’ they got excited over it, an’ forbid the city feller the house, I don’t know, but he never wa: seen goin’ there after that night, though he stayed in town right along for tw« weeks, at the end of which time he disap. peared from the face o’ the earth, an’ she along with him.

“An’ that’s all the story, parson. That's three year ago lackin’ two weeks, an’ no body ain’t seen or heard o’ May Day Mere dith from that day to this.

“Of co’se girls have run away with men, an’ it turned out all right—but they wasn’t married men. Nobody s’picioned he was married tell it was all over, an’ Harry Conway he found it out in St. Louis, an’ it’s been found to be true. An’ there’s a man living in Texarkana thet testified thet he was called in to witness what he b’lieved to be a genuine weddin’, where the preacher claimed to come from Little Rock, an’ he married May Day to that man, standin’ inthe blue cashmere dress she run away in, She was married by the ’Piscopal prayer book too, which is the only thing I felt real hard against May Day for consentin’ to—she being well rais- ed a hard shell Baptist.

“But o’ co’se the man thet could git a girl to run away with him could easy get her to change her religion.”

“Hold up there, Dan’l!’ interrupted old man Taylor. “Hold on there! Not al- ways! It’sa good many years sense my ol’ woman run away to marry me, but she was a Methodist, an’ Methodist she’s oe me, though I’ve been dipped,thank

rod!”

“Well, of co’se, there’s exception. An’ I didn’t compare you to the man I’ma. talkin’ about, nohow. Besides Methodist an’ ’Piscopal are two different things,” returned McMonigle.

“But tellin’ my story—or at least sense I’ve done told the story, I'll tell parson all I know about the old nigger, Proph, which is mighty little.

“It was jest three days after May Mere- dith run away thet I was ridin’ through the woods twixt here an’ Clay Bank, an’ who did] run against but old Proph’— walkin’ along in the brush talkin’ to his- self ez usual.

BRITISH RULE IN EGYPT.

An interesting article in a recent num- ter of the London Spectator on the work of Lord Cremer, the British Ag nt, Con- eul-Genera],and Minister Plen'potentiary in Egypt, gives a lucid view of the amcunt of work that has been done there in the face of many difficulties. The wr-ter sums up these obstacles thus:—1. Our inability to control the finances. 2. The right of the powers to interfere in many important matters. 3. The hostility of the Khediveand the Pashas. 4. The hos- tility of the Sultan. 5. The jealousy and dislike of the fanatical portion of the Mo~ hammedan pupulation. Yet, in spite of all there drawbacks, a corrupt, disor- dered and retrograde administratios has been changed into the best instrument of government in any Oriental country controlled by a European power. When the British took possession of the helm of Egyptian affairs they found the peasantry in a terribly oppressed state, being ground down by excessive taxation, and virtually without the protection of law or justice, But now not only are the Pashas power- less to bleed the people as they did in the bad old times, but the fel!aheen can in- voke the strong arm of the law against both the official and the rich man. At the same time the natural resources of the country have been improved and develop ed. From being a bankrupt state Egypt has been transformed into a country of overflowing surpluses. It seems, therefore,

that the last thing that Britain should

think about would be the evacuation of Egypt. On other grounds also it is in.- poswible, As the Spectator justly observes, Britain cannot let France occupy tie country, ard to leave it now would mean the des:rnet on of what has leen done in Egypt, with the prospect of teins forced to reoccupy it at no distant per cd»

ITALIANS IN NEW YORK,

Nnmber Who do not Want to Fight in Africa,

A Large

The port authorities at New York have been a good deal embarrassed of late by the very large number of Italian immi- grants they have to deal with. Many of these people are practically destitute 2nd scores of them will be sent bak to their native country. A large part of them, it seems, come here not to find work more easily, but toescape the darger of con- scription for the army in Abvesinia. Sey- era] of them have told the inspectors that their neighbors wire being driven into the army in great numbers, They profess loyalty to their country and willingness to fight her battles in other parts of the world, but appear to have a herror of Africa, and little sympathy with their country’s colonization schemes Of course they are for the mort part men of kw in- telligence, whose opinicns caunot be re- garded as reflecting the public opinion of ~ important part of Iialy.

t ie curious to note that they are re-

ceived very coldly by <cheir compatriots who have settled in this country. The latter talk cf them as coward!y renegades, and far frcm taking measures to prevent the deportat on of those who do not come ap to Government requirements for im- migrants they encourage the inspectors o take actioh against them. This is not nu tura! jealousy of more rivals in a field ‘Iready crowded; they themrelves cal it atriotic aversion to cowards. More than eu thousand Italians have arrived with- nthe lest ‘ortnight and the authcrities we informed that many more are on their way. Itis probabie thata very large ropertion of them will be sent back, in- © ving an exyense tothe steamship com- anies tl.at will makethem wary of re eiving there people at the home ports.

Glad Tidings of Great Joy.

There could be no gladder tidings than news of a cure for consumption. Miller's Emulsion of Cold Liver Oil cures con- sumption and every disease of the lungs and respiratory organe. Why? Becsu- it supplies new blood to the extausted system, thus giving a new lease of life. Miller’s Emulsion is made from the Oil of the Norwegian Cod Liver, and in con- juoction hypophosphites of lime and soda forms the greatest vitalizer of the age. Miller’s Emulsion is the great nerve strengthener and blood maker, and cures Coughs, Colls, Bronchitis, Scrofnla and all Lung affections. In big bottles, 50c and $1, at all drug stores.

Prices in iron and steel are expected to be sustained by the “ygi- gantic combine” just effected, one of the proposals of the organization being, of course, to limit production.

Commercial Travellers.

Wm. Golding, commercial traveller, 130 Esther St., Toronto, says: Fer 15 years J suilered untold misery from Itch- ing Piles, sometimes called pin worms. Many and many weeks have I had to lay ff the road from this trouble. I tried eight other pile ointments and #o-calied remedies wity no permanent relief to the atense itching and stinging which, irri- tated by scratching, would bleed and ulcerate. One box of Chase’s Ointment cured me completely.

A President cf one of our Colleges says: “Wespent many sleepless nights in consequence of cur chiltren sufferirg from colds, but this never occurs now : We use Scott’s Emulsion, and it quickly. relieves pulmonary troubles.”
