THE NEK YEAR.

In the language of a contemporary, there are
too many who may indulge no vain regrets over
simple losses who seek to gather out OF the
dust of the past no teasure hopelessly squander-
ed who pause not even to shed tears of vain
regret over the follies that marked their mis-
spent hours; but they cling to bitter memories
not only of wrongs, but sights and wounded
feelings; and wrap their hatreds about them, as
if these were armor of proof for the year to come
OF all the weary, useless burdens, this is the
heaviest and most exacting. 1t taxes the daily
life like a pack always bound to the aching
shoulders 1t wrinkles the brow it sets the
stern lines about the lip, it gives an angry glare
to the fixed eye. Somewhere, between the time
when it fastened on the heart and that final
hour when the rest comes, it must be laid aside
if We ever know the glad release We hope for.
Why not leave it buried in the ashes Of the dead
old year2 Haveyou wronged your friend? Gro to
him with words of smanly confession, and show
himyour heart longing for reconciliation and re-
newed friendship. Has he wronged or greivel
you? Be still more ready to meet him with
words Of love and kindness. You know not
how he, too, may be yearning to bridge over the
gulf that has divided you and is holding back
for fear he may be repealed. If your hatred
has grown out Of the bitterness of party
spirit, the conflict of opposing religious
societies. or the friction of sectional strife, the
the same lesson applies with Il peculiar meaning.
Let us begin the new year, as We would end the
weary journey, at peace with all the world

interest on the public debt, two millions in cur
rency, and between four and five millions gold,

There are a thousand things, says
Bishop Wilson, we love more than God
without being sensible of it. He whom
we love is he whom we are most con-
cerned to please and we are most afraid
to offend. Let us try our love by this
rule. 81.
To trust in human love is often to be
pierced with thorns; to lean on human
is to feel the broken shaft
entering the side; but no one ever trust
ed Gods love and found it grow cold.
No heart ever yearned toward Him and
stayed itself upon Him, and found Him
