orange, and orange hair is far from
beautiful, but the abun liant tresses to

fectly ripe corn. with that reddish tinge
which makes the waving harvest fields
so beautiful. Red hair, even if unlove-

Another advantage lies in the fact
that the possession of red hair restricts

"A RAPPY NEW YEAR"

"A Happy New Yearm says one and all,
Like q wave of 10y it nils the airi
From the aged lips kind greetings fall,
And merry words from the young and fair.
"a Happy New Yearr' Oh ring it out
With the organs tone. and the peal of bells I;
Lee the LITTLE children sing and shout,
With giadness and Joy each bosom swells.
A scroll that a little yesr ago
Was fresh and sweet a q xlad surprise,
As spotless and pure as a veil of snow,
Has slowly unrolled before our eyes.
And day by day, as the year went by,
line was written upon the scroll;
We gave to them each a smile or sigh,
We have only smiles to give the whole.
The fair white page of the coming year,
Oh, what is the record IT viii bear?
W1l faith and courage our pathway cheer,
And loving hearts all our sorrows share?
To those It comes like a wave of light
Gnt-edged and bright as the mornings
dawn;
Toothers, perhaps, like rayless night,
From which moon and stars have been
withdrawn
But the Hand that has held us hitherto
Is able 70 keep to the very end;
Though the way He leads us be strange and
His justice and mercy together blend.
So, with stronger faith in the God we trust,
Let Us greet with smiles this happy day,
And wait for reward, If wait We must,
TIL the scroll of the year has rolled away.
