With this merrimcnt the minutes stole

are turned backward. The people smile on

a new year? Do all those who are already

they even know what this holiday signifies

the custom of visits among neighbors, Of

''the sweetness of the auspices under which

New Years Resolutions.

At an offhand estimate 1t would be fair
to say that very nearly 100000 good resolu-
tfong were formulated New Years morn
ing, and " would be equally safe to pre-
dict that before night 5000 Of them
were received as information, ''laid upon
the table, or indefinitely postponed. =
The sentiment that all men are deceiyers
has been sung In some very creditable
verses, reiterated many hundred times
upon very diverse proyocations, and has
found more or less wide acceptance from
the time that the psalmist announced his
discovery Of the fact down to the present
day and generation, but the acme OF mans
accomplishments in the line OF deception ia
his power to deceive himself as thoroughly
as he can deceive others.
II the man who made half dozen good
resolutions last year upon New Years day
and broke the last one Of them before his
own back was turned would not make any
this season, he would be more respectable.
But it's safe to predict he will do nothing
SO sensible. Before he finishes his break
fast he will have passed more resolutions
than the Smiths Crossroads Alliance, No.
990, 800. did last year, and each and every
one Of the former will have about as much
effect upon him as the latter did upon the
corporate iniquities against which they
were hurled. This is just one Of those
touches Of human nature which makes tho
whole world very close kin. You think
they would get On to the little game which
they annually play upon themselves, but
they don't, or at least they never acknowl-
edge 1t to anybody, themselves included.
It's the very honesty with which they i'm
pose upon their own credulity which IS the
saving clause Of all the humbug which
they gravely 60 through.
What will the resolutions be? Well,
that's another question. All kinds prob
ably, good, bad and Indifferent, but as none
OF them is going to be kept what differ
ence does it make what they arep They
will answer very well the purpose for which
they were intended, inasmuch as they will
momentarily enhance the resolver's private
opinion of his own integrity and self e.
