The New Year.
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
Tha flying cloud, the frosty light.
Tha year is dying in the night
Ring out. wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old; ring In the new.
Ring, happy bells, across the snow.
The year Is going. Let him go.
. Ring out the false; ring In the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind
For those that here we see no mora.
Ring out the feud of rich and poor
Ring In redress to all mankind.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The talthless coldness of the times;
Ring out. ring out, my mournful rimes,
But ring tha fuller minstrel In..
Ring out false pride In place and blood.
The civic slander and the spite;
' Ring In the love of truth and right;
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old;
Ring In the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand; '
Ring out the darkness of the land;
Ring In the Christ that Is to be.

A Wartime New Years
Day Experience
ON New Year's morning, 1801,
-.when the thermometer was
below, zero, ' ..probably the
., most undisciplined body of
troops in the whole Union tinny nmrch
cd Into camp at Martinsbiirg. V. Vu.
The men looked careless, fatigued,
sleepy anil cold. Some of (hem were
bareheaded, which showed that they
had traveled day and night and had
fallen uslecn on their horses. Manv
had lost their hats and caps by their
heads coming In contact with (he
limbs of the trees In the woods. Somo
had the front and back parts burned
out of their overcoats and trousers,
which hud probably happened while
, they were dozing beforo the Are. A
few of them wore some Confederate
clothing, Indicating apparently thtft
they bad captured some Confederate
quarterniaKter's stores and had re
placed their own damaged garmentB
with their enemy's clothing. Others
had their feet tied up with pieces cf
blankets nr.d sheepskins.
Many of the men were dismounted;
others were mounted on wagon horses
nnd mules, with the harness still ou
the animals. This Bhowed that their
wagon train had been destroyed and
that some of tho men, who had lost
their cavalry horses, had mounted
these animals.
Tho infantry and the citizens of
Martlusburg gathered nround uud star
ed nt theso troops In wonder. This
was General Averlll's command, four
regiments of cavalry nnd a battery that
had Just returned from the Salem raid.
The raiding party left New Creek (now
Keyscr City, V, Vo.), Pec. 8, 1803;
s marched to Salem, Va., thence back to
Wartinsbuig, V. Ya., arriving there
Jan. 1, 1801, traveling twenty-four
days. During this time the party trav
eled several hundred miles, tore up the
Virginia nnd Tennessee railroad tracks
to prevent Geuenil Leo from re-enforc-lng
General Longstreet, who was flght
lug General Hurnslde at Kuoxrllle,
Tenn. At Salem the Con fedora to quar.
termnster nnd commissary stores were
destroyed.
1 On our retreat a dozen or more Con
federate brigades were after us nnd
tried to head us off at every crossroad.
At Covington, Vu., after the bridge
over Jackson river wus burned, our
regiment the Fourteenth Pennsylva
nia cavalry, Which was the rearguard,
and A few dismounted men of other
regiments that were with tho wagon
i ruin were surrounded on the south
tilda of tho river One of the Confed
erate penoruls sent In n flag of truce,
demanding a surrender, but wo fought
our way through. After we burned
mir wagon train wo swnm tho Jueksou
I 'ver.
On our retreat w traveled through
n severe snowstorm nnd slid down Icy
mountains. Our artillery was saved
by pulling It over the mountains with
ropes.
Our brigade lost on this raid killed,
'drowned, froxeti and captured. 140
men and five ollloers.
A few men were so badly froreu that
they died shortly afterward.
Thus on that Now Year's morning
wo wore cold, hungry, tired, sleepy,
dirty and shabby. Uncle Sam soon
heard of our condition and enme to us
with outstreti hod arms, for on Jan. 10
lio presented every oue of us' with a
brand new outfitwhich Intituled over
coat, dress coat, blouse, hat, cap, shirt,
drawers, stocking, boots and blankets.
Wo soon coiuiueured to get conceited,
for we helh-vcJ that we were the only
brigade In t!n whole Union army that
had ever rctvlrod such a magnificent
gift from Uu United States govern
ment. Jatui's l Hays In nnltlmoro

An Egyptian New Year's Greeting.
The following from Maspero's Guide
to the Cairo Museum of Antiquities Is
of timely Interest, showing how the
scarab was Identified with New Year's
celebration In ancient Egypt:
"The Kgyptlnua worshiped the scarab
from the most remote antiquity, for It
seems that In the beginning It was con
sidered as being one. of the shapes of
the soul Itself. So the linage of It was
multiplied In order to assure to living
and dead alike a continuance of being,
and, like all religious emblems held In
general esteem, It was used as n motif
of ornamentation In Jewelry. Scarabs
were set as rings, seojs or pendants,
those who wore them thus having not
only an amulet, but an ornament, nnd
were made of every siae and material.
"A whole class of scarabs bore good
wishes for the New Year; 'May Amon,
or Isls. or Uastlt, or Ita give thee 'a
happy beginning of the year.' Others
wished him to be provided with the
aunt of life, or with life Itself."

! the secret ballot, when the candidate
with the longest purse usually won an
election, a former Lord Dundonald,
who refused to give -bribe3, contested
Honlton, but was beaten by an oppo-
nent who paid. his. electors at the. rate
of 3 a vote.
-Then the unsuccessful candidate
conceived this brilliant plan, says the
writer of a history of the Dundonald
family. lie announced to his friends
that he was quite determined to win
the seat 'next time without bribery.
' Chen be sent the town crier round the
town to announce that all who had
voted for him In this first election might
repair to his agent, from whom they
would receive 10.
As comparatively few people had
voted for him, this was not a very ex
pensive process. Andnt the next elec
tion Lord Dundonald was elected by
an enormous majority. After the tri
umph several people came to blin and
delicately suggested that some reward
was due to such loyalty. .
"Not a farthing," was the reply. '
"But, my lord, you gave 10 a head
to the minority at the last election, and
the majority have been counting on
something handsome on this occasion."
'Terhaps so," said the clever candi
date. "My former gift was for their
disinterested conduct In not taking my
opponent's bribe of 5. For me to pay
them now would be to violate my own,
principles." rearson's Weekly.
