Some Rambling Thoughts.
Copyrighted By Dave I Taber.i !


A Happy New Year to you,
Boys. Ifit isn't it ought to be. An
unhappy boy is like chicken that
lays no eggs. If you are not happy,
just look within to see what is
wrong. The fault must be there !;
for you have no cares, no anxieties,
no regrets. What privileges you
have to make you happy! A home
with all its comforts, leisure for
sport, holidays and merry-makings.
Even your school is made attractive,
and learning easy. Ask your faith
ers how lessons were thrashed into
them, how hard and monotonous
were their schooldays, and then con-
trast your own advantages. How
grand too is your health! You can
not even realize the sadness and
gloom of the sick room, the weari-
ness of the dyspeptic, the hopeless
ness of the invalid. Your toothache
and your headache come from your
own folly or carelessness, and you
have only to deny yourself in candy
and pastry for a few days and you
will be we'll as ever.
%*
A Happy New Year to you, Girls
and Maidens. You and the boys
have equal rights to happiness; but
remember yours are "woman's
rights" 1 hope you will be strong
supporters of woman's rights, and
the equality ofma and woman. But
do not forget that equality does not
necessarily imply identity. You
have the right to learn all that the
boys learn at school, to exercise your
bodies as they exercise theirs, to
travel, and observe, and work, and
rest as they do. But, though you
do all these things, do them as wo-
men, lest forgetting the distinction
Nature herself has made, you gain
more than your rights and lose all
your privileges.
So, may this year be happy for
you; happy because you realize that
you are women, and that, like the
skilful general, you may win full
many q fight in which7you handle
neither sword nor gun.
AH
A Fruitful New Year to All
Youths. You are Fortunes favo-
rites. On you she showers her
choicest gifts. You have the heart
Of : child and the will Of man.
Days full Of innocent happiness are
behind you. Myriad pleasures open
around you. Golden visions lie be-
fore you Hope rests upon your
hsld love 10 IN your eyes; courage

in your breast5 5othe world is at your
feet, and, for you there stretches now
an opening century.
So, may this year behsppy toyou.
Happy, because your eyes are clear
to recognize your many gifts happy
that passion does not weaken your
heart, nor afiliction hold you back
from high emprise; happy in your
rich inheritance Of life, and in the
wisdom not to waste its glorious
fullness. ~
A Prosperous New Year to you,
Fathers. You have thought your
individuality worth perpetuating,
and have won all attribute whose
name belongs to God himself. You
are an autocrat. Whistful eyes watch
your every look and word, andesger
minds strive to mould themselves on
your character. You have provided
for yourselfan earthly Immortality,
= second self to take up your ambi-
ton and carry on your works of
good or evil.
So, may this year be happy to
you,-happy, because you have had
courage to undertake responsibility,
and confidence in your worth and in
your good intentions.
-
A Bright New Year to you,
Mothers. Consciously or unoon-
sciously, you have made the great
sacrifice. You have risked pain,
sorrow, anxiety and death itself, in
the sacred hope of a Hebrew mother,
that to you may fall the honor of
bringing into the world some prince
of peace. That sacrifice was q de-
dication. You are a priestess for
ever.
So, may this year be happy to you; /;
happy in the knowledge Of your
high calling; happy in the discharge
Of its holy duties; happy in the hope
that your constant care may furnish
to the world q being worthy to hand
on the torch of lofty deeds; happy
in the thought that you have forged
another link in the chain Of love,
whose clasp is held by God.
A Happy New Year to you, In
valids. Does happiness seem a
mockery, and my very wish almost
an unkindness? Nay, / know it is
notso; for the same power that per-
mitted the demon Pain to work his
will with you, chained him to the
angel Patience, and you will be
happy in her tender councils. For
she ,vhiapers to you that allis not in
ytil; that souls huugering. to do
god deeds love to minister to you,
apd, that from your agony are borne
iito the world pure selt-denial and
sweet COMPASSION. Nay, then, the

The Middleburgh post. [volume] (Middleburgh, Snyder Co., Pa.) 1883-1916, 1898-01-13

breath Of sympathy 80 stir, for you,
during this year, the sullen waters
ofsmiction, that they break into the
lsughter Of . summer stream.

= lf
A Tranquil New Year to you,
Aged ones. You have anchored in
the harbor, and only wait the mast
er's call to land. Meanwhile the
waters'are calm around you. The
anxious captain, and the busy sailors
sleep, the weary helmsman stretches
Ills strained limbs. You can watcl,
the changing sea beyond, smile at its
sunny stillness, send warnings Of
storms, and counsel the strife where
in your past is done. Your fellow
veterans ere moorsd beside, and
cheer you with their brave familiar
shapes. Together you live again in
tender thought the varied voyage,
together hail the new-trimmed craft
that pass outward on some unfinish-
ed guest, rejoicing that they may
gain fresh courage by seeing you
sate sheltered after storm, and shoal,
and strife.
