AS on Our Way We Sob or Sing.

What is the fate you hide from sight,
Wrarned in your mantles f1eecy fold?

There re the smile of May and the kiss OF
June,
Sun and shadow for meadow hooks,
Swaying lilies and woods atune,
Signing breezes and laughing brooks.
There are blessings that will touch with bliss
The fragrant days that wing their flight
And Sorrow waits that she may kiss
Our brows through some long, silent night
There re golden oppor tunities
For US to soothe, or bless, or cheer
Some lonely heart-tO kiss away
From saddened eyes bitter tear.
o New Year brighton New Year sad!
If joys or griefs to me you bring,
Help me to make some others glad
AS on my way sob or sing.

The New-Year Resolution.

When first. on New-Year's eve, it sprang
To life with n determined uien,
Twill live forever and day.
You would have said if you had seen;
And when 1t spoke its strict intent,
With sternest voice and rigid word,
d" Twill never yield to any wile.'
You would have said if you had heard
Yet day by day it bore itself
Less loftily, and day by day
It's accents lost their tone severe,
And slowly. softly died away.
Twas then with satisfaction he
Who made it saw it's power wane,
And hushed it TO silent sleep
Till New Years eve should come again.

Who comes dancing over the snow
His little soft feet all bare and rosy
Open the door, though the wild winds blow;
Take the child in and make him coy.
Take him in and hold him dear;
He is the wonderful New Year.
Open your heart, be it sad or gay
Welcome him there and use him kindly;
For you must carry him, yea or nay,
Garry him with shut eyes 50 blindly.
But whether he bringeth Joy or fear,
Take him! God sends him-this good New
Year.

rested his head on his right hand. his

fixed on the child as If he would in
these few moments left feast his fam
ished heart upon that which had been
so long withheld. Something in his
position made Margaret think of one
other night when they had sat like this
and watched Beth through the Group,
and how they had felt that if God
would only spare her they could have
nothing in life to trouble them again.
How gentle and tender John had been
that night
And then there was the time that
Beth was burned and John had walked
with her the whole night long and
would not even let the mother rest
him, because ''she was weak and he
was strong" he had said. How the
memories came thronging upon her!
Oh, if she could only wake and find
that this year had been a dream-a hOr-
rible dream-and there had been no
quarrel! She threw her head back and
closed her eyes with sick feeling that
she had dug her own grave.
1t would never be! She would find
herself here tomorrow, but Beth
would be gone-downstairs would be a
baby that would look like her, but it
would not be Beth. And then there
would be the funeral. And then the
empty house, the house that John had
said he should never take from her and
Beth. And then-oh! what would she
do then? Why, she was only twenty
three, and most people didn't die till
