Tho Baby's Hair.
Deep hid away. the little box;
Deep in INV heart the key.

Weeping to my touch reveal
\ The precious treasure hid.
A ring of gold-a baby's har
Silken and soft and fine;
No jewels can be half SO fair
AS this curl of mine.
Dear little head, sweet baby face,
Gods angels loved thee So
And |, with bitter tears replace
The baby's hair, and go.
For hearts may break, yet day by day
We all some burden bear;
And more than one has hid away,
A curl of silken hair.
Keep fast the gold where heaven CLEANS;
Deep in my heart, the key
SO slight Il thing can hold, it seems,
Such love, and misery.

4 Sympathetic New Year.
Is the heading of very well written arti-
Gle i'll The Woman's Column" of this
week. The writer says there are very
many good resolutions that can be made
for the new year, but she knows of none
that would accomplish more good than a
determination to make it "a year of syS-
tematic doing" She says: Much de-
voted work, much noble effort, runs to
sheer waste for lack of a guiding plan.
Some one said to an able woman. the moth
er Of eleven children, How can you go on
so systematically and accomplish so much
with eleven children to look out for?
Wisely she answered, How could [ get on
at all with eleven children if | had no sys-
temt"
That was certainly the keynote of sue
cess with her ana will be found to be with
every one, most especially mothers of fami-
hes. ! often look at mothers who have
Of 4.
accomplish anything [ heard young
couple not long since having some sharp
words on this very subject 1t was the old
cry of buttons off, aud Inc husbands re-
mark was: "ff YOU would look over the
clothes at the right time, there would be
40 cause for me 10 complain of my buttons
being off" If that young woman had
been systematic these sharp words need
never have basn uttered. There are some
households that are constantly out of Or
der owing to a Wan2 of system in the man
ag"ment Of affairs.
The old adage. II place for everything
and every ching in its place. is a good ono.
How much time WouIG be saved and weari-
ness of the flesh?
Children should be taught early in life
the value of SyStcm-it is so easy to inn
press this on the yOung-and when once
learned it is a habit that never is forgot
ton; it becomes almost second nature, and
indeed the want of system will then make
one miserable. In thinking over then the
many good resolutions TO be made for the
year we have Just entered upon, ] know of
none better than the fixed purpose in our
hearts of making 1898 "a year of system
attic doings.'
While one may fccl any amount of sym

moro sympathy for self when an article
is murdered as several were that appeared
in the Kingdom last week. ] trust my
readers will be lenient. There were words
left out and words put in that never were
INTENDED and had no meaning. | scarcely
recognized my own articles / felt an
apology was really due my readers, but as
Christmas is over | hope our page will
make a better appearance this week.
