To the Editor of tbe Dispatch: The old year 1902 has gone. I saw him as he lay there oq a few brown leaves gasping as bis life's breath was fast fleeting away. No grass was near, save here and there a few withered bunches, which were visible by the snow and ice being melted away. There he lay glaring in the electrio lights unnoticed by the rattling wheels of the vehicles I and tbe on busy,.rushing crowd that throng the thoroughfares of the busy marts. Ob, bow lonely and forsakened! Away from the seething tides bearing on their bosom an innumerable number of heavy laden ships and | steamboats away from the clicking of I the magnetic wires as they flashed the news to aoxious hearts in distant parts; away from the rumbling noise of the palace cars and the shrill, of the locomotive. Near by.the clear, pure and sparkling water of a lovely babbling spring gnrggled out from the hill side, traillog l?zily along and almost lost to view by the many little icicles that clung close together from the moss covered rock over jetting the lovely stream as it tooK is meandering course on toward the brimming river, Above rude and desolate couch of the dying year, the mourning pines and sighing trees spead their leafless and ice covered branches as much as to say, "we will gladly shelter thee if we can," the low soft breezes moaned sympatbectically by his side, as sweetly as teDderly as if it had b?en some loviDg one of the fair sex. The air was keen and the winds chilly and pierciDg, the barking of watchdog, startled by some passer by, sounded long and re-echoed as though from the very border of the glen. As I stood gazing upon the border of that lovely glen I beheld an almost innumerable throng of spiritual beings. Among the great number I beheld the four seasons; yea, and the twelve months were there, accompanied with fifty-two weeks made up of three hundred and sixtyfive days and nights. There I saw nearly nine thousand hours, more than half a million minutes and thirty million seconds. I saw the seasons donned in their robes of variagated colors?white, green, yellow and purple. The twelve months were bedecked with crowns of diadems, adorned with a fillet of silver networked about their foreheads. The weeks?fifty-two in number?wore seven hued girdles (about them, adorned with crescents of shining pearls witfc beautiful, brilliant clasp. The days bore on pinions the very image of the great sun, while the eights held a sparkling star glittering on every sceptre. The hours, minutes and seconds each held a miniature diamond cbonometsr in in keeping time of the fleeting, golden moments as they passed. As he lay there pale and weak, surrounded by his immense host of descendants, he spoke and said, "Bee they come." As he spoke a pale, long drawn light, as though the Milky Way was descending earthward. Yes, it descended through the thin, keen mist and rested like a dim glimmering light on the smokey and dusky range of the distant haze of the hills. I arose and receded a * 3w paces from what appeared the coming of one with the glory of an angel and yet with the appearance and countenance of a younger brother?The New Year. As he bent over the humble pallet, the grass and the icicles, and frosted trees and the misty hills ail glittered with a golden hue. Behind him I beneid fair seasons, and months, and weeks and days, and nights and they waved in a line grand and beantiful indeed to behold. He stooped and kissed the Old Year and took the scepter and waved to his attendants as they followed him as softly and as beautifully as the scintillations of the Aurora, vanishing at last among the conscious and welcoming Btars. Then the New Year glanced smiling at his attendants and started on his transit f ??"?* To Cui I Take Laxative Broir I Seven MUHon boxes sold in post 12 m< through the earth oo errands of mercy.

THE MATRON'S SPEECH. j Eloquence That Quelled a Riot la Military Hospital. 1 In the "Memories of a Hospital Ma- ( tron" a writer in the Atlantic Monthly, y who was head of a Confederate hos- J pital during the war, relates this exciting incident: "Onr steward, a meek little man, t came to me one day, pale with fright, j and said that the convalescents naa t stormed the bakery, taken out the half ( cooked bread and scattered it about I the yard, beaten the baker and threat- > eaed to haug the steward. I hurried ' to the scene to throw myself into the ( breach before the surgeon should ar- j rive with the guard and arrest the of- t fenders. I found the new bakery leveled to the ground and 2(X> excited 1 men clamoring for the bread which, 1 they declared, the steward withheld 1 from them from meanness or stole for his own benefit " 'And what do 3*on say of the matron?' I asked, rushing among them. 'Do you think that she, through whose hands the bread must pass, is a party to the theft? Do you accuse me, who have nursed you through months of illness, making you chicken soup when 1 we had not seen a chicken ror a year, forcing an old breastbone to do duty for months for tlibse unreasonable fellows who wanted to see the chicken; me, who gave you a greater variety in v peas than was ever known before and who lately stewed your rats when the ' cook refused to touch them? And this is your gratitude! You tear down my ,, bakehouse, beat my baker and want to hang my steward T v "To my surprise the angry men laughed and cheered. A few days later there came to me a 'committee' of ] two sheepish looking fellows to ask my acceptance of a ring. Each of the poor men had Subscribed something from his pittance, and their old enemy, the steward, had been sent to town ] to make the purchase. Accompanying the ring was a bit of dirty paper on which was written, 'For our chief ma- tron, in honor of her brave conduct on ^ the day of the bread riot' " -rur rr\ni/onoi/ I nc. wur\ovur\< ??????

If you get too much salt in the gravy, a pinch of brown sugar will remedy the c saltness without hurting the gravy in the least. When onions are of too strong flavor to be pleasant for sauce, boil a turnip with them, but remove it before using i the onions. I Never fry more than six oysters at ? ence unless you have a very large ket- * lie of fat. If more are cooked, they will soak grease and take a long time to brown. Don't forget that mincemeat is a great deal better to be made a week or ten days before it is to be used.

Plea For the Wooden Shoe. ''We have wisely taken to wearing sandals," says a Philadelphia physi- j cian. "I hope that before long we will j learn the advantage of the wooden ! shoe, or sabot Do you know that a C great many diseases are due to leather j shoes, due to the wearing all day long of tight leather that is often, in bad n weather, water soaked? And do you J know that by the wearing of wooden u shoes, which keep the feet dry and 0 which do not 'draw,' all those diseases ' might be avoided? I have several 1,, pairs of sabots, and so have my wife 4 and children.
