NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS.
A Resolve to Do Better Is a Step II
tho Right Direction.

a Resolve to Do Better Is Step In
tho Right Direction.
1t is trle, very possibly, that only
one in a million of these resolutions
ever amounts to anything permanently.
A month, a week, a day, may see the
end of them, and the old sin or delin-
quency or habit may be in the as
cendant again, sometimes, alas! re-en-
forced and stronger than before, strong
almost to the point of Indifference as
to its destruction on the part of him
breaking his oath and resolution like
a twist of rotten silk.
What is the use? The question rises
in the mind of the owner of the broken
resolution; it can't be helped the
breaker was made to break; it runs in
the blood; he was given the nature
that experiences temptation; he was
not given the strength to overcome
temptation; you can not change the
spots i'll the leopard; that is he, if you
want to change him, you want some
thing other than he, you don't want
him; ancestry is stronger than desire
to do otherwise; it's of no use And
thus the trick, the custom, the wholly
undesirable habit, is left to run its
race.
Yet that is but one possibility, and
when this stage of Indifference has not
been reached how well it is only to
have made the resolution, whether one
is successful in keeping it or not! Just
as hypocrisy is the tribute which vice
pays to virtue, so the mere making of
the resolution implies the knowledge
of wrong, and of right exceeding
wrong, and to make determination to
discard the wrong is already one step
toward embracing the rights, in
fact, embracing it's, while being the
resolve, however little way. The re-
solve is the outcome of the best part of
ones nature; the not keeping it is one S
weakness only.-Harper's Bazaar.

Leaps and falls back on ragged reefs that
goad him on again
To burrow in the circling sands that his
wild course restrain.
Beneath the smiling summer stars if sleep
ing peacefully,
No longer beast, beauty now, the same
old king, the sea,
Touched by the full moons yellow light
with radiant majesty,
He murmers gently in his dreams, if ocean
dreams there be,
Repentance for his former moods of rage
and cruelty.
What mystery of life and death the oceans
waters hide!
What changing passions changing hearts
are taught by changing tide!
The sea enraged, the sea at peace, to one
who's at its side,
Is but mirror of mans mind, a mirror
vast and wide,
To show how small is earthly life in which
our souls confde.

Could we but see the happiness
The New Year seeks to give,
Our daily lives to cheer and bless,
How gladly would we live.
Could we behold the grief and care,
The weary, painful strife
Allotted a our rightful share
In each new year of life.
Could we anticipate the thorns
That in our pathway lie
Before the smiling New Year dawns,
How gladly would we die.
Yet ignorant of all, we grope
With blind persistence on,
Upheld by patient faith and hope
Each daily task is won.
A New Years burdens unconcealel
Our trembling hearts benumb,
But sorrows one by one revealed
Are conquered as they cowe.
