old yearI

Goodbye, old year!
We've j%ourneyed on together many
days,
And now behold the parting of our
ways
Is very near;
With thoughts of mingled gladness
and of dread,
1 see the winding way that I must
tread
To Future Lands;
For thee awaits the realm of shadows
deep
The Silent Land of years that lie
asleep
With folded hands.
Goodbye, old year!
A few more steps ere we forever part
A few more words that wake the
throbbing heart
To hope and fear;
A farewell smile, a lingering clasp of
hand.
Ere thou shalt lie within the shadow
land
All silently;
The while I haste a glad new year to
greet,
The while l journey on with memories
sweet,
Old year, of thee.
Goodbye, old year!
Alas, not half l felt or knew till now
How kind and brave and true a friend
vert thou;
For ali, twice dear
A loved one seems when comes the
darkened day
When heart and lips all tremulous
must say
A last goodbye;
Yet, though thy friendly face no more
I see.
The memories sweet my heart has kept
of thee.

CHE Metz Year %pfrif.

The return of New Years day in
vites many people to the most somber
reflections. Undoubtedly most of us
can find abundant occasion for these,
but there is such a thing as pushing
determination and self-condemna-
ton to the point of encouragement.
The best temper with which we can
enter upon the new year is that Of
faith, faith in God and faith in our
selves through His help. 1t is about
as certain as anything can be that the
new year will bring us new expert
ences. Our courage, our capacity for
endurance, our steadiness of character
and power Of resistance is to be tested.
At the end Of the year we are going.
to be nobler men and women than we
are today, or we shall have deterior-
ated morally, and forever afterward
there will be narrowing opportunities.
While we think of the latter alterna-
tive it is well to strengthen u hearts
by the former. Let us believe that we
are not going to fail and we have taken
a long step towards success. When
another New Years day comes around
we are going to be able to reckon solid
gains in character won through the
trials and temptations and emergen-
cies of the years OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

neighborhood took on a sudden quiet?
The question arose, where are those
boys? Dorothy and 1 knew all about it,
for were we not invited to become
honorary members of their club, "The
OIlapodrida?" We helped to foot the
bills and evinced an interest in the
affairs of the club; We lent them ten
cents to buy material to reseat an old
WORKOUT chair; there vas another
item: twenty-five cents for lumber,
etc.. and last, but not least, and thai
which caused Dorothy much suffering,
were sundry pieces of rope to be fur
nished with all the paraphernalia Of a
trapeze arrangement, preparatory to
meanderings aloft, all of which caused
a rush of blood to my head, as I
thought of these venturesome boys,
three of them at work daily, expert
menting with the center of gravity,
walking On their heads being the OBJ
'jective point apparently.
We are happily rejoicing these days,
however, in a more recent occupant of
the family cradle, who so far walks
feet downward after the fashion of
mortalS.
AS time goes on, the children's
youthful exploits, with the accom-
panying worries of their elders, fade
into oblivion, as the more serious as
pect confronts us.
The Ollapodrida members of my
family have taken unto themselves a
few extra years; two of these afore-
said members are looking college
ward, and I seem to worry about them
in a wonderful way quite unlike N.Y.
self.
The bread and butter question con-
fronts me? What profession will be
theirs? Are they sufficiently strong in
purpose to resist this or that?
The day will come when Dorothy
and I cannot shield them or stand be-
meath them and the cold world; we
won't be here to settle the little ac-
counts or encounters, OF watch the lit
tie cotillions they are going to have
with the dwellers of this mundane
sphere.
Then comes the question yer again:
"Well, old fellow. what's the matter
now? Can't you let the boys alone,
and let them fight it out just as you
did?" Some truth In that, I answer.
81 will wait until Dorothy comes and
I'll ask her, just for curiosity, what
she thinks of my past. and the general
outlook"
In part 1 am going to turn w a
new leaf.

I said to myself if 1 were dead.

What would be
Their fate, who are now looking up
to me
For help and furtherance? Their
lives,
Would it be a volume wherein I have
read
But the first chapters, and no long

To read the rest of their dear history
So full of beauty and so full of dread.
Be comforted; the world Is very old,
And generations pass, as they nave

Thousands of times has the old tale
been told;
The world belongs to those who
come the last,
They will find hope and strength as
we have done.
Was ever answer sent to a. mortal
man more clearly?
I think I'm sent for; there's some
thing besides old Father Time after
me, surely. Here is the very answer
to my dismals as to those boys and
their doings. But here comes Dorothy,
singing, apparently in a very cheerful
mood.
"Thfs is perfectly lovely, George
Augustus.
"Johnnie's trousers are all right for
tomorrow, and 1 have been looking
over my precious tin box, and I find
such lovely bits of literature and all
sorts; suppose we look them over to-
night"
Perhaps Dorothy noticed an unusual
expression on my manly countenance,
for she paused and said: What are
you thinking about? What has this
old year been saying to you? Are you
having a retrospective sort CT revival
meeting all by yourself?"
only a few ideas have struck me,
Dorothy. 1 rather like this den Of
mine, especially tonight, and one or
two articles in these books here seem
to have been written especially for me,
and an uncomfortable little voice
has been questioning me. A thought
strikes me that we, you and I, have
drifted apart rather more than I ever
a sort Of We fellows at the club air
and manner about me, that I really
think now, as 1 sit here, has been a
foolishness on my part that I shall
endeavor to discontinue; a sort of
desire to be in with the boys and
off with my wife I hope, Dorothy,
that you do not think my past is
really a dreadful one to look back
upon"

thing of a twinkle in her eyes; "but,

change terminal facilities. An amend
ment was placed upon the Pennsyl-

to build a new state, to cost not less
