Leaf Turning.

Leaf turning on New Year day is
conducive to good habits. Doubtless
many young hearts today are Just as
DESTROYS to leave off all that has been
found unworthy, and stick to the good
ship Wisdom, as in the days gone by.
Let them this New Years day spy out
the land, count the snags they have
struck as they sailed along, and re-
solved that they will steer clear OF
them in the future. Thus may they
rise above the flesh and the devil, and
be able to walk among men as was
designed for man, when he was Great.
ed little lower than the angels.
To turn over new leaf is not an
easy task when cratic conduct and
ye RS of folly have scared the con.
science, hardened the heart, and
blighted ones reputation among his
fellow men. Satan watts back the
leaves as you turn, but sincere and
long continued efforts will succeed.
and you can stand before men and an.
gels redeemed from the bondage OF
bad habits-true victors in life's
field.
Christmas with its merry. making
and good cheer has departed let us
usher in the New Year with such
renovation of the heart that the naoes
OF life's book for all the year will not
be sullied by records of trausgres
sions.

HAIL TO THE NEW YEAR.

The horns are blowing loud and shrill.
The bells are ringing clear,
And melodies of gladness fill
The frosty atmosphere.
The old years flown
To realms unknown
And on tiptoe apace
Beside the door
We see once more
The new years baby face,
A bud of beauty May 1t blow
A perfect flower, fold on fold,
And set our hopes with JOY aglow
And light our path with fairy gold.
The old years hobbled to the gate
And said his last goodby.
The new year comes with step elate
And kind and loving eye.
North, south, east, west,
A welcome guest,
He sails on happy wings
And waves serene
The branch of green,
OF war no note he sings.
Within bis pack good things galore
Has he and naught, let's hope that's sad,
Rare gifts from times mysterious shore
To make our trusting spirits glad.
Then for the old year here's a sigh
And for the new smile.
Fen as the snowflakes whirl and fly
May loves white blooms beguile,
The glad bells ring
The notes that wing
From star to star, from heart to heart
The glad new year
Is here, is here,
And all our thoughts of care depart.
Then let the bells ring out their cheer
In merry measures far and wide
To welcome in the glad new year,
The stranger at the ingleside.
