Resolutions for 1875.

To try to deal fairly and steal your
wood from new neighbor the next
year.
Now let's start this book right and not
chrrge "sundries" on the first page.
Be on good terms with your neighbors,
even If you have TO keep n dog and shot
gun to assist you.
Pay for your washing, even il you don't
have an ulster overcoat and a mahogony
bosom pin all winter.
Every wife should make home as pleas
ant as possible, even IL she has to jaw
her husband every hour in the day.
Don't study for the ministry just for
the sake Of getting half fare passes on
the railroads.
Have a good word for everybody and
IL YOU have good luck, stretch this rule
so as to include your mother-in-law.
Every young man who has heretofore
neglected TO part his hair in the middle
and wear a cane should begin at once.
Have the angel of peace in your house
hold, even il you have to trade of your
husbands old clothes with the image
man to get one.
Allow your wife some privileges and if
she wants 10 get up in the morning and
build the fires. don't be muleish and in
sist upon doing it yourself.
Don't go galloping about the country
with a subscription paper for the heathen
when the woman next door is perishing
with cold and hunger.
Ifyou have a bald headed husband you
must not get mad and call him an old
buzzard just because he don't part his
hair in the middle.
If you must swear at your wife have
day in the week TO that kind Of recrea-
ton, but don't mix it along every day.
Don't 90 home late at night and, after
making speeches to the hat-rack, try to
make your wife believe that you chased
a burglar and got all tired out
Don't hug the fatal delusion to your
soul that you can sell rotten wood for
four dollars a cord, and Offset il by at
tending church twice on Sunday.
Don't think, because this is the centen-
NAL year, that duty compels you to do
nothing but sit around on dry goods
boxes and give your views OF George
Washington.
You need not feel that you must pull
out a handful of your husbands hair TO
send to the centennial, 50 long as the at
tic is full Of old spinning-wheels and 50
forth.
Do something for the day and genera
ton in which you live, il it's nothing
more than to speak an encouraging word
to your wife while she is putting up the
fall stove.
When your wife does her own work
and makes your clothes besides, don't
let her split all the wood. OF course, il
she has a leisure day occasionally IL
makes a difference.
Don't teach your boy to work, for IL
you do the first thing you know he'll
want to pitch in and get a living for him
self and then who'll squander your
property when you re gomez
Recollect that history repeats itself,
and the same stuff that made you drunk
I last year will send you home with your
head full Of windmills, buzz-saws, il you
| fool with il again.
| Old maids must not get mad because
I they are referred to as the centennial
I relics Of lost opportunities, for this Is

Mrs Meezlcs enjoys the knowledge that

servant girl before the poor, dear man,
Joblink, married her-with all her airs.

While thick and fast tits showing:

To greet me in my nest so warm,

His voice rings out so brave and high,
With gladness overfiowing.

BY MORTIMER COLLINS.
All through the day, o happy thrush;
1 hear thy music's tOrrent-gush
Then comes the blackbird's mellower lutte,
And m errily when both are mnte
The robin sings;
But when the blue turns golden-pale,
Hist there's n strange impassioued tale
Told by the Daulian nightingale
With duslxy wings.
o magic music, linger still
Echo from the furZe-clad hill
Tosses back with semblance fine
The dreamy ecstasy divine,
And ether rings;
But 10, through windows open wide
To catch the breath of eventide,
Comes lovelier sound than aught beside
