How Is It BY This Time.-Little more
than week since the New Year was celebra-
ted, by making good resolutions, regardless of
number or expense. How many of them have
been transformed into hopeless ruins by this
timer How many young men who resolved
On the frst day Of the new year not to touch
Intoxicating drinks during the year, have been
faithful to their promises thus farY How
many idlers who planned twelve months act
i've industry foI 1873, have treated their reso-
buttons to nine days of health inspiring labor?
The new year already furnishes a retrospect
from which may be drawn alssson Of encour-
agement or otherwise.
Enviable Situation.-A veteran tiIler
of the soil, whose locks have whitened with
the bleaching frosts of three score years and

comfort and safety. 4 now have man, Z"

aud my horses viii be taken care Of" Not a
shadow of care to haunt him. No solicitous
thought for comfort of the faithful beasts. In
short nothing to prevent three hundred and
sixty-fve llustrious drinks per annum unmin-
gled with care or apprehension.

seems to take a savage delight in holding Mr..

ibIe for all freaks of weather, civil agitations,
and social oommotions, that may chance to
straggle into Decembers chapter of events.
Now, do let our venerated parents rest in
