know that he bet me that pound
of chocolates he would wish me
Happy New Yearl' first again this
year. He doesn't expect to see
me until the big family dinner
tomorrow, and by that time I dare
say that 1 shall be talking so fast
shall forget all about it, as usual. But
1 am going to dress up so he won't
know me, and then in the morning,
when the poor children go to his house
for the New Years cakes l am going to
get in with a crowd of them and just
wish him Happy New Year" For
once am glad live in Dutchy New
York town, else there wouldn't be any
poor children going around asking for
cakes"
Amy laughed and agreed, and Meg
tied gauze scarf under her chin and
said: "Now, 1 think I'm ready. And
Amy, you take Harry up to the house,
and I will take Al, and then we will
meet at the corner and go home to-
gether. Mind. now, that you don't let
Harry go home with you."
"Come, girls" called Cousin Sarah.
1.-THE carriages have been here for ever
SO long" The girls trooped downstairs
to the hall, where the boys were wait
ing, and with some blushing and much
laughter each girl escorted her charge
to the carriage, or walked with him,
as the case might be.
If Al Van Decker had any idea of
taking slow promenade with Meg, he
was soon disabused of the notion, for
she started him away Mt a great pace,
saying: 81 can't dawdle. It's nearly
midnight and we should have been
home half an hour ago." And in less
than five minutes Mr.. Albert Van
Decker had arrived at his own door.
Snow, Cousin Meg" he said, ''it's my
turn"
'sNonsense! There is Amy now. Auf
Wiederseheni" And sway sped little
Miss Van Decker across the street.
at didn't take long, did it?'' said
Neg, as she slipped her arm in Amy's.
.'That is girls way Of doing things
right to the point. But want to be
sure about the old gown; have It ready
by eight o'clock. want to go over
about nine. Al will come to the door;
he always likes togive away the cakes. u
"Yes," said Amy. He did it when
he was little; yet suppose he shouldn't
answer the bell"

more anxious to improve charac-

improve our farms. Serious study
of our weak points and Of means to
strengthen them is very profitable
business at any time, and If pursued
assiduously will strengthen and develop
all that is good and admirable in our
natures, and make us better, stronger,
nobler men and women as the years go
by. And the time will come in the life
Of every one when such a record OF
honest, earnest, persistent effort to inn
prove will afford far greater satisfac-
ton than anything else in his account
with this world. We can wish no bet

And they wondered. when she saw them.
What the little girl would say.
They hoped that the nursery life was gny;
q. And they hoped that they would dnd
The little girl often played with dolls;
s And they hoped that she was kind.
Near by sat IN old doll neatly dressed
In now frock, black and red;
e. She smiled ~ the French dolls-"As to that,
Don't feel afraid" she said.
Tho now dolls turned their waxen heads.
And looked with . naughty stare.

That . doll wss sitting there.
Oh. we're not in tho least afraid. ." said ono.
''Wo arc quite TOO flne and now:
But perhaps you yourself will f1nd that now
She viii scarcely caro- for you"
Tho old doll shook her head and smiled;
She smiled, although she knew
Her plaster nose was almost gone,
And hsr ohsaks wore faded, too.
And now IL was day; in came the child.
And there, all gay and bright.
Sat three new dolls In little chairs
1t was lovely sight.
She praised their curls and noticed, too
How finely they were dressed;
But tho old doll all the while was held
Clasped close against her breast

The snowy days, the blowy days,
The fowery days Of May;
The summer days, when shady ways
We're made for children's feet;
Vacation days, when for their plays
The country was SO sweeti
If oil the old years days could speak
Just think Of It awhile
Would their report bring bitter tears,
Or the sunshine OF O smiles
AhI could they speak from week 70 weak
OF honest work we'll done,
OF well-used powers in study hours,
OF fairness in the funs
OF thankful thought for kindness wS0u0h4
When homes are rich and glad;
OF tender care to give or share
Where homes are poor and sad;
OF pleasant ways in dark, dull days;
OF little, gentle deeds;
OF earnest hours among hearts nowers,
In plucking hurtful weedsf
Can the year speak of patience meek
Where grief has stopped awhile.
OF courage bold. for weak and old
loving word or smilef
Methinks the year must seem most deaF
II thus its speech can be;
O'erfull of joys for girls and boys
A year OF jubilee.

'e2 that the Van Decker girls gave their
leap-year party. At eight o'clock that
evening Miss Margarethe Van Decker
stood before the glass In the front
chamber of the old Van Decker house
buttoning her gloves. She was short
and plump and almost eighteen, and If
she was not exactly pretty she made
most people think she was, but Miss
Van Decker, or Meg, as she was IA
miliarly called, had a grievance.
81 wouldn't care If it were anybody
but Al" she was saying, "but he is al
ways getting the best of me, and last
time when he wished me "A Happy
New Year first he bet q pound of
candy he would do it this year. Why,
Just think" continued this small per-
son, as she snapped the last button
into its buttonhole, she has said
Happy New Yearl' to me first every
time since l was twelve years old. 1t
seems silly to care, but he does 1t to
tease me; he knows L mean to get
ahead of him, and then forget it
every time"
The little nose which WAS inclined to
snub went up with q sniff as Meg
shook out her red skirts and looked
over her shoulder at the place where
her train would have been If she had
been old enough to wear one. "And
boys are so conceited, anyway" she
continued. "If we didn't take pains
and outwit them once in awhile they
would be simply uncomfortable. Al
shall not be first this time, for 1
think" she added, firmly, "that when
I have once made up my mind to do q
thing can carry it out as well as Al
Van Decker or anybody else in the
Van Decker family"
"Come, Meg! Hurry up, Amy!" called
Bess Van Decker. 1.-THE boys will be
here in jiffy, and we must be ready
to receive them"
"Come on, Amy, we shall be the last
down, rs usual" and Meg gave another
touch to her crinkly brown hair, few
downstairs and landed with q skip and
. twirl at the bottom.
Meg Van Decker was one of the Van
Decker cousins, and so was Amy, and
10 was Bess and Sarah and all the rest
OF the forty-one of the younger gener-
alton of the Van Declkers who lived at
the corner. The family formed the
principal part Of the small suburban
settlement and quite ruled it in . 30
,cial way. Indeed, at this little party
there wss hardly q guest who was not
. cousin, or who did not expect to be q
cousin some time.

The Old and tho New

The Old Year laid upon the portals Of tho past
A trembling hand,
And said: "Oh, let me die and be ut rest
Within thy misty lsndi"
Then oil tho years that lived and died before
Reached forth, and drew the wanderer safe

A firm young hand,

none gayer than this leap-year dance,
and as the girls, after it was over, were
going upstairs Amy said: ''Oh, wish
this weren't Saturday night don't
want to go home-I know shall never
have another waltz like that last one
with AL"
The room was in full chatter, for all
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1894-12-27

.'oh, Al Van Decker, how did You

that you and Amy got here all right,

Don't wait for the wagon while the
walking is good.
Don't grieve over split milk while
there's one COW left in the pasture.
Don't say the world is growing worse
when you are doing nothing to make 1t

Don't tell the world your troubles
You can't borrow ten dollars on them
Don't let the grass grow under your

Meg thought moment. "I'll tell
you, Amy. You run over before break

likes a joke, you know, and she will
help us manage it. She'll be sure then
to have him at the door. You shall
