Sending Presents by Eypress

Sending packages by express is probably
the favorite manner of sending packages
of value to any great distance, as the ex-
press companies are responsible for the
value of express packages up TO Il certain
amount, in case of loss or destruction.
and as n consequence the greatest care
is taken in transportation. The larger
companies have special trunks in which
packages are carried from one place to
another, thus insuring extra protection.
There are no restrictions in regard to the
articles which may be sent by express;
anything from Il horse to an egg will be
received and forwarded. One exception
alone has been made recently, and that
is that children will no longer be received
for transportation. The charges on pack
ages are made either by weight or by
bulk the latter being the more usual way
of regulating the tariff. These rates are
reasonable i'm all cases, and are ma lie uni
formly on basis of packages v;Lued ut
$40 or under. Packages to foreign coun-
tries are sent by first-class passenger
steamers. The minimum charge on Il
foreign package is $1.-Ladies' Home
Journal.

The Mercury wings are now introduced

The most beautiful rings and orna-
ments of the season are in opals and dia-

Marquise rings are now three inches

A number of new swords are seen with

EyaS. Some unappreciative grown peo-

There was a tradition that at one time

For New Years Day.

Eternal source of every joy,
Well may thy praise our lips employ,
While in thy temple we appear.
Whose goodness crowns the circling year
The fiowery spring at thy command
Embalms the air, and paints the land;
The summer rays with vigOr shine,
To raise the corn, and cheer the vine.
Thy hand In autumn richly pOurs
Through all our coasts redundant stores,
And winters. sOften'd by thy care,
No more a face of horror wear.
Seasons, and months. and weeks and days
Demand successive songs of praise;
Still be the cheerful homage paid
With opening light, and evening shade!
oh, may our more harmonious tongues
In worlds unknown pursue the songs;
And in those brighter courts adore,
Where days and years revolye no more.

Some Timely Resolutions.

Everybody is supposed to swear off at
the end of the year, that is more or less.
Everybody is also supposed TO swear on
again in due course of time. In other
words, the good resolutions made at the
death of the old are supposed to he
broken shortly after the birth of the new.
In order to make the way easy for those
who propose to go into the business of
resolving the following have been pre-
pared by an editor in the East:
Resolve: That you will lead an up
right and noble life. As You will prompt
ly break this resolution it will ease any
qualms of conscience you may have at
breaking any others.
Resolve: That you will speak nothing
but good of your friends In this way you
will be able to learn very shortly how
very few friends you have.
Resolve: That you will never drink

With his tattered hood drawn over his face
And his thread-bare garments flying,

For joys gone by; and with sorrow deep
To the old year will be turning.
