There's a way to the right and a way to the wrong, A way for the weak and a way for the strong, And on which cf these ways will your banner be shown When the new year has come and the old year has flown? The way to the right is a way that Is hard. By many a troublesome wall It is barred, But out at the end of It, over the hill, ' (There Is honor that all may share proudly who will.- The way to the wrong is a broad, easy way Where the ribald go rollicking day after day, Where the dolt and the laggard go sneering at fame, And It ends In a bog that Is scummy with shame. There's a way to the right and a way to the wrong, A way for the weak and a way for the strong, And on which of these ways will your shadow be cast When the new year begins and the old year Is past? Selected. iO THE ROMANS Terminu3 was a God. The limit, In time ana space, was divine and sacred. It was sacrilege" to remove without grave reason the ancient landmark which the fathers had set. The end of the day, of the month, especially the close of the year were reli giously impressive as suggesting the solemn procession of the ages. The new year Is a time for retrJspect and anticipation. It Is a trib ute to the native goodness of human nature, and a proof that life Is worth living, that Now Year's Day s a joyous festival. Men must find In the past more of good th.an evil, more happiness than misery, or even that hope which springs eternal In the heart of man could not ex cite pleasurable anticipation for the coming year, and the greeting "A Happy New Year" must be abandoned as a mockery. Sour and crabbed age, folly and remorse may point to a past of failure and wretchedness and declare that tho year to come will be even as that which Is gone; Tmt the commonsense of mankind asserts that If a man's, past Is wretch red It Is his own fault, and every creature young, pure, loyal to truth and duty sees, thru' the swinging portals of the New Year, vistas of worthy achievement, of triumph, and of joy. To such, time Is not a Chronos, de vouring his own children, not the remorseless one, "fierce spirit of the glass and scythe," but time is the parent of beauty and blessing of the past, and the herald of an Infinite good which Is to come. What a round this life of ours is; the seasons are typical of it. Out of tho death of the winter the returning sun commands that the stone shall be rolled away, and the life of a new spring shall come forth. Then, even under tho snow, the flower starts and in its darkened cham ber It puts on its shining garments to make Its debut; leaf and bud appear, the world takes on Us old robe of green, then bud and flower and the blooms of trees come forth, and the sun grows warm above, then the summer, with Its miracles, the autumn with Its harvests, then again the wrinkles of the late autumn, the trees lose their garniture and grow gnarled, and then again tho cold and tho winding sheet. Man walks his rounds, oven as does the earth and In a little while is but as the years that have fled. There is but ono hope saved from it all, which Is that after his final winter here, the spring that will come to him will never lose Its blooms and flowers', Its sunshine and Its joys. , The closing year suggests to the thoughtful mind tho end of life, when the stream of our earthly existence shall flow out into -the eternal sea. Is not tho joyous nature of the now year festival, In this connection, a prophecy of good, teaching us to find. "On tho low dark verge of life, The twilight of eternal day." When Socrates was condemned to death by an Athenian court, ho ' said: "O, judges, be of good cheer about death, and know this of a truth that no ov.il can happen to a good man, either in life or In death." Hero Is tho utterance of an Invincible conviction of man's mor al nature a conviction which transforms sorrow and misfortune into messengers of good, and sets tho bow of promise even abovo tho tomb. And so the bolls which ring out tho old and ring lu tho New Year aro vocal with Impulses to nobler living. Not to tho strained, the unna tural, tho mock-heroic, but to that simple, manly, practical typo of char acter suggested in tho lines, "That best portion of a good man's llfo, His little, nameless, unremombered acts Of kindness, and of love." And when tho Now Year festival comes and you reflect that you are pabslng another milestone on tho highway of time, ask yourself whether your mental and moral growth Is toward that stato of being where "Thy mind Shall bo a mansion for all lovely forms, Thy memory bo ns a dwell'ng place For all sweet sounds and harmonies," A Happy Now Year to every reader of Tho Times! UNKNOWN MISCREANT PERPE TRATES DASTARDLY OUT. RAGES IN NEW MAHSIIFIKLD BUILDING HAVE CLUE TO IDENTITY. The contractors of the new Chand ler hotel are the victims of two of the most dastardly tricks that have, been known to Coos Bay In a long' time, and If tho effort to ascertain the Identity of tho responsible par ties Is successful, proper punishment will be imposed. About a week ago, some ono en tered the building and with a ham mer proceeded to pound the enamel off the bath tubs and wash basins. The deed was done between 5 o'clock In the afternoon when the men quit work and C o'clock when the night watch begins duty. The loss falls on Contractor Rust as he has not completed the work and turned it over to the owners. Tuesday evening, between the same hours .someone entered the building and turned on the water on the fourth floor and before It was discovered the floor was flooded and the water was leaking through Into the floors below. The damage was' considerable and It will cause some delay In drying out the rooms. There are several clues to the Iden tity of the guilty parties and It Is sincerely hoped that they will be captured. It will be 'difficult to fix adequate punishment for the crimes which show pure, unadulterated meanness as they could not benefit any one but Impose loss and grief upon others. What the motive could be, no one has the slightest Idea. ALLIANCE FOR PORTLAND.
