TO THE l. YEAR..

Good-by. Old Year!
While others ring
The New Year in, and loudly sing
OF what delight and peace twill bring.
Ere the last tolling of the bell
TO the world sOundeth thy death-knell
] bid thee now a fond farewell
Good-by, Old Year!
Good-by. Old Year!
While others raise
To thy successor hymns of praise.
Many a blessing hast thou brought,
Many n sacred truth hast taught;
Fruitful changes have been wrought
BY thee, Old Year!
Good-by, Old Year!
Should | alone
Remember thee when thou art gone,
I'll thank thee for the good thou'st done.
The world fOrgets the absent friend;
To each newcomer doth it bend.
And casts it off when near the end,
Like thee, Old Year!
Good-by, Old Year!
Dost thou forget
How men with joy thy advent met?
That praise the New Year hath; but vet,
When once again its reign IS DER,
The world it may be, as before,
VIII leave me to say once more,
Good-by. Old Year!

Jack took Susie into the kitchen, and
gave orders she should be fed forthwith.
Then he hurried up to his mothers room.
She was there with his grandmother, and
in a few words he told them about the hit
tie girl he had rescued.
"She's poor and hungry, and she's got
no decent clothes. Mamma, can't you fix
her up?'

Jack was like all boys who nave no

he was a manly, kind-hearted little chap
for all that. and so, when he was through
with his play and was dragging his sled
homeward and came upon n scene on a
street-corner which aroused his sympa-

A crowd of rough boys were torment
ing a poorly clad little girl, whose wan,
haggard face spoke too plainly of misery
and poverty. She was frightened and
almost crying as Jack came up.
Here, now" said Jack, with sturdy de-
termination, you stop that or III call a

In the midst of all this excitement
there came a paving of tiny hoofs over

down the chimney cried, "Whoa! very
loudly.
AT this every fairy vanished abruptly.
But the stocking was left hanging there,
and presently, with n scramble and rush.
down the chimney came the good Saint
himself. Jack knew him directly from
his pictures. He examined the stocking
attentively.

he observed. That's a great idea! l

There are a few things they've forgotten.
Here are the skates, the games, the box

he piled the packages up on a table near
the fireplace.
Jack eyes were so heavy he couldn't
hold them open. He shut them for an in
slant, and when he opened them again it
was Christmas morning.
He sprang from his bed and rushed to
the fireplace. Yes, there hung his stock
ing full and running over, and the table
near by was loaded with gifts.
And, if you were to argue forever, you
could never make Jack believe that there
is no Santa Claus or such things as
fairies.
