TOMMY's RESOLUTIONS.
BY ANNA NJ. PRATT.

Twas the last Of December, and Tommy
was trying
To remain wide awake while the Old Year
was dying;
But his eyes fell to winking, and lest he
should doze
He shut them moment to gain that repose
OF mind and Of body, important to keep.
At midnight, when watching while other
boys sleep.
Now Tommy was not courageous young
And his hair stood on end as he heard
loud rap
On a picture, and saw coming right through
the frame
"A fantastic procession Of blind folk and
lame.
They limped to his side, and poor Tom
stood aghast,
As no heard them exclaim, ave have found
you at last
We're the year resolutions-you thought
we were good
When you made us and left US to grow as
And tbs right You should know tbs entire
~ your fault
That we stoop are one sided, and withered
and halt"
eyes" said one who was cross eyed, "I'm
fast growing blind
Because you've oft failed TO be pleasant
and kind"
"And l." said another, Unjust lean on
Because your quick temper goes off with a
touch"
"And am i'll shaped and deformed," cried
third,
Because you've not always been true to
your word"
So each one accused him OF being TO blame,
And Tom, blushing and frightened, was
covered with shame.
Then one little man, who was bent almost
double,
And who looked disappointed and worn out
with trouble
CTwas good resolution which Tommy
had made
That never for him should meal be de-
layed),
With a voice that was cracked and man
ner precise.
Said kindly. my friend, here's bit of
advice
What's worth doing at all should be always
well done:
Resolutions. if kept, are habits begun,
And If you again and again persevere
To put US in practice each day OF the year,
You'll find that in time we'll grow shapely
and strong
That Wen help You to honor and hold you
from wrong"
Here the clock pealed out twelve, but be
fore the last stroke,
The dream folk bad van shed, and Tommy
awoke;
He rubbed his eyes smartly, aud vowed
he'd remember
His good resolutions until next December
II he does, with the practice that every day
gives,
He'll form habits to bless him as long as he
lives.

Children and the Church.

A few years ago a great deal was
written about the children's attendance
at church, and plans were proposed to
secure it. There is no proof like sue
cess. and in our church we have sue
ceeded. 1t is "a fairly large church in
country town, and on Sunday morning
you will see rows OF little heads, of all
sizes. with the Older brothers and sis
tiers, and parents in the pews. Yes,
in some cases, overlooking into the
second pew. The older children do
not congregate in the back pews, but
sit with the family, even the young
men. 1t is lovely sight.
What is the reasonP Simply this
that it has been the custom always TO
take the children from their early
years 10 church. Our fathers did il,
the elders did it; the children. not al
ways liking it, never dreamed Of any
thing else, and grew up in this way.
When we GO TO a city church, and
see the meagre attendance OF the chill
dren, the pews filled, or not filled, with
grown people, only here and there "a
child, we are struck with the contract,
and thankful for the good old ways.
Habit is strong, little self denial IL
wholesome and does not hurt child,
and many sweet and haliowed in
huences come into its young life as 10
worships with godly parents in Gods
house. Anon.

Look look at that vast surging crowd
OF chilcren. All are shouting; aye
Thank God their little hearts are true;
