A bachelor, old and cranky was sitting alone in his room. His toes with
the gout were aching, and his face
was o'erspread with gloom. No little
ones shout to disturb him—from
noises the house was free. In fact,
from cellar at attic 'twas as still as
still could be. No medical aid was
lacking. His servants answered his
ring, respectfully heard liis orders and
supplied him with everything. But
still there was something wanting
which he could not command—the
kindly words of compassion, the touch
of a gentle hand. And he said as his
brow grew darker and he rang for tne
hireling nurse. "Well, marriage may
be a failure, but this is a darn sight
worse."

pay up the greater will be the
help to us. The figures opposite
your name on the label will show

The following is from the state news
of this morning's Detroit Tribune:
'A law and order league has been organized at Clare with a membership of 30.
This place has a large number of women who have been in the habit of'making "Rome howl." This league will
get after them. It will also begin a
campaign againso the saloons and
dives at once, and it is expected that
hereafter saloons will -be closed in
proper season at night and as tight as
a clamshell of Sundays."
. The old year 1895 departed Tuesday
in a snow-white shr oud, the old year,
all its memories, its pleasures and its
sorrows. Now thousands are asking..
or have already asked, themselves the
momentous question : "What will
the new year bring forth?" This question can be solved alone by time.
Many resolutions made Tuesday were
probably broken before the falling of
darkness* and many kept until the
grave shall have enveloped their makers. How very differently the advent
"oftheNew Year effects persons of
opposite temperaments. By some it
wasusherd in with the ringing of
bells, firing of revolvers and drinking.
How different the scenes enacted within the M. E. Ghurch, where a
watch meeting was being held?
where the heads of those present
were humbly bowed in prayer, while
the minister of God's word invoked
the mercy and beneficence, during the
ccpming year, of the Almighty upon
his hearers.

There is but one collection of the
portraits of Lincoln that pretends to
be complete, and that is the collection
made by the publishers of McClure's
Magazine. They have been able to
secure either originals or copies of
every pnotograph, daguerreotype, am-
brotype, drawing or painting of Lincoln, so far as known in existence,
There are in this collection fifty photographs, ambroypes and daguerreo-
tyes. The best collection of Lincoln
heretofore published in any work contained ten portraits. It is possible
that the McClure's collection may be
still further increased. The entire
series of portraits will appear in McClure's Magazine during the current
year. With the February number
twenty of them will have been printed.
These portraits cover a period of about
twenty years, are from originals taken
in a great many different towns and
cities under a. great many different
conditions, and are so varied, and
-present Lincoln under so many different aspects, that the result of the
whole collection is to make Lincoln
vivid and real; so that even those who
never saw him can form a very accurate idea of how the living J man
looked and acted. .,
