TOLD ON NEW YEAR'S DAY. AN OLD BOY'S SERMON 10 THE OLD CHAPPIES AT THE HOFFMAN HOUSE. | Bentim ) Observances of the Day Timely Suggestion to Mi f Thrilling Tule from the Aj that May or May Not be Truc. He was an old fellow—a very old fellow— with the snows of fully seventy winters whitening his brow. He was an old gentlo- man by reason of his age, and an old fellow because of his convivality and choice of asso- ciates. ‘The old fellow was holding forth to a num- + ber of old chappies in the Hoffman House salon, These old chappies were not old chappies because they were particularly elderly, but for the reason that the expression had the seal of Anglicism upon it. They were, in fact, young men, with downy prom- ises of future fierce mustaches which con- stantly fringed the succulent heads of huge | walking-sticks. .. The old fellow’s lips dropped words of \wisdom and it was wisdom of a worldly char- acter and did not add a tinge of bitter to the (sweet of the cane heads. ) Boys,” he said, “to-morrow you give ‘that new leaf a fillip and over it goes. When k you do it, thongh, don't imagine that you fare going to write upon it anything that will igreatly differ from what has been written (during the year which ends to-night. “The world isn’t reformed in a single (night, nor is a man changed in his ways. His own good sense teaches him when he is jexceeding the limit in anything, and if he is » jaman of sense and will-power, he can cast an anchor to windward and save himself ‘from the dangerous shoals of excess, ‘This he does at any time, and resolutions formed and kept in the time of greatest dan- (er are of much greater benefit than all the ine promises made to @ man’s conscience (when there is no immediate call for the exe- jeution of the contract. { “ Don't think yourself so awfully bad that }you imagine you necd an entire reformation \of your life. I dare say that you are each gui ity of many follies, not the least of which your senseless aping of still more senseless English customs ; but don’t, when you take (an inyentory of yourself to-night or to-mor- lrow, imagine that you are thoroughly devil- fish, ‘and, “particularly, don't compare your- selves and your lives with § OF + jgrandfather's and their 1 iving id bewail the fact that your progenitors were 80 much more exemplary than you. “Tam an old man, boys, but, thank heaven, I'm not afflicted with’ the vanity of the aged which Icads them to believe that their youth was irreproachable in comparison hwith that of the youth of to-day. It isn’t so. (The young man of to-day is not one whit ‘worse than he of fifty years ago. | “This isa leaf from my experience, boys, all the leaves are very much alike, with only the slight changes Of the record ren- dered necessary by ago and circumstance. ‘an is pretty much alike in all ages. | It ign't such an awful undertaking to turn |the leaf, boys. ‘The greatest. trouble is to keep it clean and free from blots; but even this does not require a set of engrossed reso- ‘. lutions, signed and sworn to on the first day of January | The old chappies rose from their seltzer jand milk and filed meditatively out, leaving the garrulous old fellow to the discussion of brandy sling. * That's a facroom sermon that’s as good any those boys could hear froma pul- it to-morrow,” chuckled the old fellow as is callow pupils tiisappeared into the hotel YY. ———— SENTIMENT OF THE DAY, low is the Time to Get Up Clubs for Various Kinds of Resolutions, Watch meetings were held in nearly all of the Methodist Episcopal churches Saturday night, and while old ‘Trinity's chimes rang out on the crisp midnight air “Vive 1888!” mly the wind whistled ‘* 1887 is dead,” and ie chief mourners were the smart young man the dimpled, rosy maiden, fair to see, to whom he had been making love while the rest of the congregation keptZawake by sing- ing anaine old songs from the hymn-book jand devout members of the flock related their ‘* experiences.” The Te Deum was sung in many Catholic sanctuaries to the dying year, and the new- orn was welcomed with anthems sweet and Borne . ‘he new year is come, fraught with prom- ises and hopes for every one. For hope springs eternal in the human breast, and were it not for the air castles of which architect, Mallock’s startling, orth living?” would receive a swer in the negative from distr faith-lost millions. The old year is dead—and with it a thou- sand hopes cherished twelve months agone. ‘But on the embers of the old are kindled the mew, and man hopes on forever. The cor- : ore of wealth hopes to ation in a few ore bubbles, pleasing only in the makin, ‘and hollow and empty of the joys imagined, | oh wafted away, another bubble is sought 0. r. The little widow notes with a hopeful sigh that her eldest boy has so grown since New Year's last that his thin knees extend quite beyond, below the trousers that fitted so well last year, aud she fondly looks forward to the hour when he will be tall enough to ease her load of toil and care. ‘The poor victim to his appetite makes an- other effort for himself against a cruel foe to-day, and a gleam of faith in his own strength to bea man flickers in his heart, and mothers once more renew their hope for the reclamation of their bairns, Children hail the day with gladness, for it marks another mile-post passed in their journey to the goal of. manhood and woman. hood, Their parents look fondly upon them, rown older by a year, and forward to their dream of manly sons and womanly daug! ters, clusteriig about their old Grandames and Recon see in the dy ofthe old and the birth of the new year their own death and rehabilitation in sym- bolism, and their hope for the hereafter is strengthened. 4 New Year's Day is a good day to begin drawing the nails out of the record board of wrong deeds. ‘The holes will be left, to be sure, but there’s many a man who has so filled those holes with good, kind, charitable deeds, that they are entirely ed, or, at et) charitable people refuse to notice hem. Atany rate, unless there is a beginnin; with the claw end of the hammer, the boar will soon be filled with the wrought-iron me- mentoes of conscience-smiting deeds. Now is the time to get up clubs! pemener ae A SUGGESTION TO MILLIONAIRES, Able Bodied Men Who Can Work and Will Work Ought to be Given Work. ‘* When the many millionaires of New York whose millions are locked up in stocks and bonds are making their Now Year's resolu- tions I would suggest that they consider one which will put their capital into manufacture or circulate it to benefit the army of the un- employed. I would also ask that the men who are constantly ordering strikes and frightening this same capital from circula- tion, that they, too, resolve to quit their agi- tation for a year and see if the condition of their fellows is not benefited.” These were the thoughts of the Sergeant on duty at the Eldridge street police station last Thursday night, but they were expressed in different language. And this was their occasion; The cold snap had driven the * banner carriers" —men unable to bay for their lodging—to shelter in the station-house as tramps. There were among the motley group many big, healthy young fellows, who could and would work if there was work for them to do; but there was none, and they had to esk their lodging as tramps. Usually there are enough regular lodgers at this station-house to tax its capacity to the utmost, and on this occasion the Borcan blasts had taken the pride out of many men and made them the consorts of tramps. ‘The Sergeant thought to find relief by*hay- ing a few of his regulars committed to the workhouse, and he called for volunteers. - * How many of you fellows would like to go to the Island ?” he asked, Full forty strong but ill-clothed men stepped forward. Each of them despaircd of getting work and was willing to \accept the charity of the workhouse rathor than starve and freeze in a futile attempt to earn an hon- est living. About a dozen of the less able of the lof were selected for exile aud the overcrowde station-house was temporarily relieved. Here is suggestion for good New Year res- olutions from which much good to the at pres- ent unemployed masses may accrue. es CARRIED OUT AIS REQUEST. AStory That Gave the Cold shivers to Mem- bers of the Authors’ Club. Among the many gatherings of people which were held to watch the outgoing of the old year on Saturday night and the incoming of the new on Sunday morning none, per- haps, passed a pleasanter evening than the Authors’ Club, which was convened on this last New Year's Eve. Among the reminiscences and stories and yarne told by the various members and guests of the club none,, yas better re- coived than one related by a well‘known au- thor to a ee of literary lights, amon; whom were George Carey Eggleston, Samuel L, Clemens and Paul Blouet. ‘The gentleman began by saying that the story was told to him by a friend, whose friond’s friend had a friend who was hero ot of the tale. The original narrator perhaps told the story about as follows : “Tt happened on a New Year's Day,and on the prairie. I had been in the West only a short time, and was what istermeda ‘ tender- foot.’ Thad been told that the one way for aman to acquire fame and fortune in that country wus to ‘get the drop’ ou the other man, and until the little incident of which I am going to tell you happened I fully be- lieved that I could never amount to anything until I killed somebody or until somebody killed me. , - “ It was in this state of mind that I wasone day. roaming around alone on the prairie. I had proceeded some little distance from the camp when I observed a man coming towards me. I watched him, and as I watched I saw that he was watching me. As he approached T observed that his face wore a pleasant smile, But as he neared mo I raw his right hand seek his hij ‘ket and his smile seemed grim and ghasliy, and it flashed upon me that he was trying to get ‘the drop’ on me, and the next thing which I realized was that my pistol had flashed and that the man was no. longer living. ‘At first I felt only the oxnitation that arose from feeling that I had killed a man who had sought to kill me, and I was happy Then a doubt arose. Did he intend to kill 8 “A hundred times L asked myself the ques. tion, before I turned his body over. and with my right hand sought the pocket where bis right hand had been, and therefrom drew forts not a pistol, but a flask containing iquid, “*T felt remorse, I had killed a man whose only intention toward me was to offer me a drink on New Year's Day! “What was to be done? Deeply I pon- dered this question. I removed the stopper from the flask. ‘lhe smell was that of brandy —good brandy ; the smell swept the cobwebs from my brain and almost removed remorse, I did the best L could—I carried out his last requert unspoken though it was, and drank to his health and a happy New Year!" eae gees OYSTERS IN A NEW STYLE. An Innovation Which Never Entirely Popular, Mrs. Browne had been receiving on New Year's Day. ‘The end had come, and Mrs. B. was both tired and hungry—tired because she had in- sisted on standing throughout the stay of each succeeding caller, and hungry because it had been Miss Browne who had eaten and drank with the guests. And so it happened that at 12.80 a. a. Mrs. Browne ordered Bridget (a recent arrival) to bring her a plate of oysters, some crackers and beer, and a half lemon, Bridget said, “Yis mum,” and retired. After some time she reappeared with the crackers, the beer, the lemon and a plate containing a dozen fine-looking oyster shells, and setting the layout. before Mrs. Browne, exclaimed in a truely characteristic manner : “Shure, mum, I’ve tuk th’ inwards from the bastes an’ bro’t yo jist th’ isters !”” a DANCED THE OLD YEAR OUT, Entertainments of the Germania Quartet and the Carl Cotron Club. “The Old Year Out and the New Year In,” was the motto of many a dance on Saturday night, The Germania Quartet Club had a Syl- vester ball at the Lexington Avenue Opera- House which was well attended ‘There was an entertainment preceding the ball.

Their Sale: “The most profitable way of disposing of nuts this year.” said a well-known Warren street dealer, ‘* is by what is called the mixed package system. It only came into fashion this season, and all the dealers have taken it up. Instead of selling the different kinds of nuts separately by the quantity, they are mixed and put up in packages of twenty-five and fifty pounds each. “Pecans, walnuts, almonds, Brazil nuts and filberts, or hazel nuts, as they are some- times called, are the varieties sed, and they are mixed in equal quantities. The uniform price charged for these at wholesale is 11 centsa pound, This system of packing nuts has resulted in an extraordinary increase in the sale of nuts this season, “Our house alone has handled over fifty thousand packages up to the present time, and the sales seem to be increasing instead of falling off. We've got lots of things to learn yet, evidently.” —— A SAFE, sure cure for coughs BOTANIC Balsam, —KINSMAN, lers to Increase AMONG THE ATHLETES.

A NEW YEAR'S STORY. BY MAGGIE L. CASEY, | T was New Year's Eve, anda northeast wind /) was blowing, cold, sharp and keen, The mow fell heavy and fast, covermg the | sidewalks and streets with a mantle of white. A little girl about ten years old stood at the window of a Sixth avenue toy store, in- tently looking at some handsome dolls. Her tattered long brown clonk'was covered with large flakes of snow, A mass of wavy, golden hair, that sent back ight in the window, hung far below her slender waist. Her skin ‘was of dazzling fairness, andthe blue veins in temple and cheek were plain to see, with @ delicate tint, like blush roses, on her cheeks, Her large violet eyes, shaded with long, Dlack lashes, Were meek and tender as a dove's. In afew moments she left the win- dow and quickly walked d thi eet, ‘At last she turned down a dark, narrow side , and after afew moments’ quick walk- , entered a small, dilapidated-looking cot- en she entered her mother said: ‘* Well, Lily, dear, did they pay you?" Yes, mamma,” the title girl answered, ag @ drew forth a small pocketbook, And nding her mother a parcel, which she had Shere “aippertsiust be duatea iy, Me P) must be finis! e after to-morrow, and if you disap) point tied q she will not gi 4 ‘ell, 101 ih) bee any more wor Mamma is dat - voioa Lildy?” asked o childish will try to finish them, | “Yes, Birdie, pot, and now keep quiet like agood baby until mamma gets some supper ready for you,” said the mother tenderly, ‘Mamma, is there any fire made yet, cause ine and Birdie wants to get up again,” said a soft, musical yoice. “Now Addie, dear, do try and have pa- tience afew moments longer,” said Mrs, Raymond, as she prepared to go out. Then she bade Lily take charge of her two younger sisters, while she went out to purchase some food and fuel with the money which Lily had brought home. , Mrs. Raymond had three little daughters, The eldest, fair beautiful Lily. The second, Addie, a bright, spirited child of eight years, with iarge, expressive black eyes, and dark hair, And the third, little Bertha, or Birdie, as she was commonly called, a sweet docile child of five years, with large hazel eyes, olden brown hair and a small red mouth that looked like an opening rosebud. In a few moments Mrs, Raymond returned home, and a short time after there was a bright, cheerful fire. Then the three little girls sat by the stove, while their mother pre- pared the supper, At last they were all seated around the table, with its snowy white cover, on which was foread the frugal ie per, When they had all finished eating, Lily Tenoved the dishes, and Myg, Raymond com- menced embroidering. the sli pers, **Mammna,” said Addie, ‘* is this New Year's ve?” ‘Yes, dear,” Mrs, Raymond answered, ‘‘Mamma, may we stay up and hear the bells ring out the old year?” “Yes, Lily, if you wish to,” “IT wonder if papa will ever come home be in,” said Addie to Lily a few moments ter as they sat side by side, “Thope he will, Lily,” said Addie, as she bus oer arm lovingly around her sister's neck. “Do you remember the big doli papa gave me the New Year's Day before he went away, and oh, Lily, I wish ‘he was home now, be- cause we would have such a nice time to- morrow.” * Hush,” Lily said, as her violet blue eyes bedimmed with tears—'' hush, Addie dear, don't let mamma hear you; it will make her fool very sad.” , ‘Then the three little sisters epoke in whis. pers, but soon little Birdio fell asleep, and not long after Addie, too, wandered away te happy dreamland, ‘t ‘ter Lily had put them gently upon the couch, she took @ seat near her mother and said; ‘* Mamma, can I help you to finish those Wyo, dazling,"” Mra, Baymond anawered, S00N THE GOLDEN HEAD FELL ON MRS.

Her mother tried to con- sole her, and soon the lovely golden head fell oa Mrs, Raymond's lap, and Lily was fast aslee with her two other little daughi lifted her eyes and prayed to her Heavenly Protector that if the father of her three lovely darlings was living he come home to them.
