''Stayl 1t is unlucky TO speak of the
dead by name. And Helmer does not
know
But Helmcr asked no questions. He
was like n stranger among them with
his beautiful American wife, who sang
SO sweetly and to whom those com
memorative Christmas rites were like
pictures from story book.
And Thcckla? What of Theckla?
Had an evil spirit taken her?
They do not know. They will never
know. But in lonely graveyard in
Montana Territory, u. 5. A., is an iso-

TOMMY'S RESOLUTIONS.
ny ANNA N. PRATT.

Twas the last OF December, ana Tommy
was trying
To remain wi6e awake while tho Old Year
was dying;
But his eyes iell TO winking, and lest he
should doze,
4 He shut them q moment to gain that repose
OF mind and OF body, important TO keep
Az midnight when watching while other
boys sleep.
Now Tommy was not courageous young
chap,
And his hair stood on end as ho heard II
loud rap
On picture, and saw coming right through
the frame
A fantastic procession of blind folk and
lame.
I They limUed 10 his side, and poor Tom
stood 0ghast,
As he heard them exclaim, 1--WE have found
you st last
We're the year resolutions-you thought
we were good
When you mace us and left US 70 grow as
we could,
And tits right you should know It's entire
ly your fault
That we stoop. are one sided, and withered
and halt
4 "Yes, said one who was cross-eyed, "rm
fast growing bl MI
Because you We OFT tailed TO be pleasant
"And T. said another, ''must lean on a
crptch
Because Your quick temper goes of with a
touch. -
"And m i'll shaped and deformed," cried
bird,
Because you've not always been true TO
, Your W. I'd -
So each one accused him OF being to blame,
And Tom, bIushing and frightened, was
covered with shame.
Then one ltle man, who was bent almost
double,
Aud who locked disappointed and worn out
with trouble
('Twas "a good resolution which Tommy
had
That never for him should meal be de
layed),
With a voice that was cracked and IA man
ner precise.
Said KIND Y, My friend, here's o bit Of
advice
What $ worth doing at all should be always
well done;
Resolutions. if kept, are habits begun,
And If you again and again persetere
To put us in practice each day Of the year,
HoI'A find that in time Wen grow shapcly
and strong
TIA; wen help you 10 honor and hold you
from wrong
Here the clock pealed out twelve, but 70
fore the last stroke,
> The dream folk had vanished and Tommy
awOkc;
He rubbed his eyes spartIy, and vowed
he'd remember
His Rood resolutions until next December.
If he does, with the practice that every day
gives,
He'll form habits to bless him as long as he
