A happy new year to you, bright
youth of our city and country-all hap
piness in the ambition, the joy, the
friendships, the competitions and the
rewards of school life. Success to you
in the endeavor whereby the firm, en-
during basis Of true manhood and of no.
BILE womanhood are laid; with what sue
cess comes two-fold happiness,-happi-
ness to others and happiness to your
selves: Go forth gayly and confidently
into the new year, O, you who are
beautiful in the fresh vigor of your
youth!
A happy new year to you, young
man! We know your secret! Your fall
tering speech, your diverted ~glances,
your smart attire-these and other tell
tale signs have betrayed you, and there
Is uncommon sympathy in our hearts
as we bid you happy new year. But
to be happy you must be brave. Go,
like man, and speak your mind to
her; pour out into her willing ear the
full measure of your soul; she has a
gentle heart and she will requite you.
1t is not well for you twain to live
apart; but your happiness is within your
comprehension. Fate is propitious, the
time is ripe and the girl is willing.

OF pain, of cruelty, of watching and of
sacrifce-live through it all, dear, pa
tient martyrs, to share the peace, the
repose, the contentment, the compensa-
tions OF the future that surely wait for
such as you.
We wish a happy new year to him
whose life is inspired by honorable pur-
pose and whose strength is expended in
honorable endeavor. Whatsoever his
condition, whatsoever his environment,
long life to him, we say, and may this
new year, if it do not find him already
advanced in the way to success and hap
piness, point and conduct him thereunto.
A happy new year, too, to you, grand
mothers and grandfathers everywhere!
Look out upon all around you and see
how passing fair the evening is; and all
that is to be heard invites contentment
and repose. You hear voices, too, that
we do not hear-they have never been
quite forgotten, and they speak to you
in the sweetly solemn twilight of the
morning that followeth the evening,
and of the waking that cometh after
the folding of the hands to sleep.
Yes, to an-the young, the old, the

And why do you blush, coy maiden,
as we address to you the compliments
OF this happy season? Can it be that
qualm oppresses your tender con-
science? Have you been playing the
coquette-O! monster of ruthlessness:
have You been 1eveling in the anguish
which your bright eyes and pretty face
have entailed? We cannot bid you be
happy when we know that you, unde-
serving, should not and cannot be
blessed with happiness until you have
made reparation. Hasten to pluck the
brand from the burning; save the cal
low but honest William ere he alto
gether perish in the delightful torments
which your charms inspire.
To you, whose lives are hallowed
with the grace of maternity, not one
but many, many years of happiness!
Live long, wives and mothers of this land,
to see the little lives you have cherished
so tenderly expand into beauty and use
fulness; live long to know and feel the
sweet rewards of gratitude, of venera-
tion and of love. Survive those hours

New time for toll and new space for winning
The guerdon Of happiness free to all.
New hope for the souls long clouded over
With possible sorrows and actual pain;
New joys for comrade and friend and lover
The year is bringing them oil again.
New days and hours for the patient building
OF noble character, pure and true
For faith and love- with their radiant gliding.
To make the temple Of life anew
A Happy New Year. and truce to sadness,
Its every moment by God is planned;
Whatever may come, whether grief or glad
ness,
Must come Alright from a Fathers hand.
He blessed the old in its sdawning-thenceforth
His love was true to US all the way.
And now In the hitherto shines the hencefortl.
And out Of the yesterdays smiles to-day.
We would have power in this year to brighten
Each lot less blessed and fair than ours;
The woe to heal and the load to tighten,
The waste soul-garden to plant with flowers
May every day be royal possession
To high. born purpose and steadfast aim,
And every hour in its swift progression
Make life more worthy than when it came.
Mary Bowles, in Golden Days.

That carried blessing with them and lifted
their souls to Heaven:
For out OF this rich abundance the hungry were
sweetly fed,
The naked were clothed, and the sick and sor-
rowful cheered and comforted;
And so great W as the Joy OF giving, that pastor
ana people felt
AS II with the wise men OF the east at the
Saviour's feet they knclt.
Oh, never q brighter Christmas had dawned on
the dull old town,
Never had richer blessings been scattered so
freely down;
And taught by the Holy Spirit their selfish
greed to subdue
All hearts rejoiced--and on Christmas day was
the Christ child born anew.

Few Words In Behalf Of tho Children
In tho Holiday Season.
Be patient with children's racket
these holidays. We feel sorry for
boys, because they are not exempt from
troubles, and one of the worst is sup
pressed hilarity. To want to laugh and
still maintain gravity; to see the min
ister's wig getting twisted and yet look
DEVOTIONAL; to discover a mouse in
Prayer-time and yet not litter; to see
the young bride and groom in church
try to look like old married people; to
have the deacon drop the contribution
plate and spill the pennies, and yet look
sorry for the misfortune; in a word, to
be boy with fun from the top hair on

sought,
And there was not single volume on the
shelves above or below
That could throw any light on the problem
that puzzled and vexed him so.
For the harvest season was over, and Christ
mas was close at hand,
And the glow OF the rising splendor already IL
lumed the land;
And there on the desk before him, In orderly
neatnesS, lay
The sermon he meant to deliver to his people
on Christmas day.
So twas not this that disturbed him, nor was
he a moment vexed
By any doubt or delusion in regard to his
chosen text;
For he preached but simple gospel, in Ian,
guage as terse and plain
AS the smooth. round pebbles that David took
when the mighty giant was slain.
The pastor thought Of his little flock, the chill
dren great and small,
And great was the loving kindness with which

And yet wave Of trouble ran over his heart.

And to brain and heart, like swift winged

For he spoke in words OF fire the truth they

And II at the Christmas season you d be richly

There were dolls OF assorted sizes, and some

For the little folks had nought else to give and

For the pastor would teach the lesson to chill

That the gift that secures a blessing must be

Oh, crisp and Gear Christmas da wned that

AND the bells rang out a merry chime that

And around the altar and down the aisles were

While up on the pulpit and into the pews the
