y Few Words from the Pen of Edith
Sessions Topper.
Has it occurred to you, ladies, that
1892 is leap year?
Ring out wild bells to the wild sky
and tell each despairing maid that her
hour approaches. Not for long will she
be forced to pine in solitude, blush I'M
seen and waste her sweetness on the
desert air. Her dayi is c~olning-the hour
III which she can corner the young maj
of her choice and tell him that life with
out him will be a void, Il bowling will
derness. She can soothc his agitation,
quiet his futtering heart, press his manly
form in her arms and kiss him smack on
the mouth even if he should resist.
Ring out, wild bells, and tell the CO.
quettish widow to lay in an extra stock
of warpaint and tomahawks, former hour
is, too, at hand. Never backward about
manifesting by gentle look, smile or
sigh her preferences, she will be at her
periheliOn during 1892. And vain will
be the attempt of MAJ to escape from
the sunshine of her affection. He who
trusts himself in the society of some
mans relict in leap year is lost.
Ring out. wild bells. and tell those
who have lost even the semblance of
hOpe-thOse ancient virgins who have
looked through many a weary year for
the man to come and have ever been
disappOinted-that hope is not dead wen
for them; that the door of opportunity
will Don be ajar and they alone will be
to blame if they enter not, aye, and
shut and barricade it behind them.

a HAPPY new YEAR.

A Happy New Year. Why, certainly:
we are all good enough Christians to
fling the wish at the heads of all our
friends, and a few of our enemies, too.
not on the 1st Of January only, but
every day the year round for the matter
Of that. Why the wish was pinned to
the Janus faced firstling Of the year
is a question that would require until
the 31st of next December to an
swer fully. and a rare store Of Outland-
ish stuff would be the outcome. The
list Of April is nearer being the true first
day Of natures year, but we feel a little
sensitive about fixing it 50, goodness
knows why.
Our good cousins III Scotland are re-
sponsible for the high jinks now gener-
ally associated With New Years day by
the British, just as the HOllanders have
the credit Of establishing it here. Across
the sea they celebrate all religious feasts
by eating sOmething-at the birth of our
Lord they gorge on roast beef and plum
pudding, his Easter resurrection by bolt
ing hard boiled eggs, Good Friday is
made gloomy by swallowing indigestlble
hot cross buns and ShrOve Tuesday by
dyspeptic pancakes.
We, more truly civilized, mOrtify the
flesh on turkey to show our thankfulness,
and sanctify the year by slipping native
wine during its first lunch hour. 50, long
live our good old customs and a Happy
New Year to US all.

How She Became a Missionary.

"I'm doing missionary work a good deal
of the time;" was the reply of n of the
most charming women Of New York, to a
friend, who asked how she busted herself.
81 see by your looks you wonder what 1
mean by that. I'll tell you. A few years
ago life was a burden to me. I had beer a
victim to female weakness of the most ag-
gravated character for a long time, and
the doctors failed to help me. Exitence
was a long, steady, terrible torture-a
lingering, living death. One day I saw DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription advertised
in the newspaper. Something in the adver-
tisement impressed me favorably.I caught
at the glimmer of hope it held out as the
drowning man is said to catch at a straw.
Still, I did not dare to hope. But I got the
medicine, and behold the result! I feel SO
we'll, so strong; and SO thankful, that I go
about telling other women what saved me.
In no other way car l SC well show my
gratitude to God, and to the man who has
proved such q benefactor OF women, and
my love for suffering sisterhood."
