It was only a flash picture-the vitascope of memory had gone back so many years that 1t startled him when he reckoned their number-but it was a bright picture. and it brought sudden unwonted moisture to his eyes.
 Tad had been the gay one of the two, and he the grave one, but they had been great chums nevertheless all through the school days, and even after. Then there was a girl, and Tad won her, and so the mar went to the city and wooed and won sue cess, and forgot everything else till forget ting came naturally and loneliness became a habit.

 From Mrs. Van Tweezer's cottage the sound of music floated upon the air. Inside there were few guests assembled to listen to the singer of the evening. a young girl who had studied extensively in the Euro pean centers.
 We will be bored to death. there is no doubt. Jack Kempster remarked as he struggled into his dress suit and reflected that 1t was over a year since he had worn the habiliments of civilization.
 Later he stood in Mrs Van Tweezer's parlor. By his side was Tom Carpenter.

 Tom paused purposely. The girl at his side sat motionless.

 Do you know the name of the singer?' Jack quered, as he ran his eye over the moment Tom. who was beside him, gave a violent start.
 'I think" said Tom. my leg is so bad, l will go over and sit in the back of the room. You do as you please. Jack"
 And before Jack Kempster knew it his friend was gone. Then there was a little hustle and hush, A young woman stood up in front and pre- pared to sing.
 What she sang Jack never knew He saw vision of brown hair. with eyes that matched; a small. delicate, oval face, and ye gods could it be true? This girl had on a dress made of the very silk that decor ated the box wherein his bit of wedding cake was sent
 Jack felt sure of this. He surreptitiously put his hand into his pocket and pulled out the cover of the box. Ever since Christmas he had carried 1t with him. and now he was to meet her at last. The young man quivered with excite ment. As soon as the applause subsided Mrs. Van Tweezer found MT. Kempster be- . fore her.

after a long and tedious interval. The hard work, the patient endurance, the courage in bearing losses and trials, at length on some favored day bring forth their result and the man is suddenly overwhelmed at the transformation of his life in the frui- tion of long-cherished hopes. No one of us can tell when we are standing on the verge of such crisis. Many a man, like Saul at Gilgal, has become discouraged just too soon, and, lo little after he has com mitted himself to a false and weak policy the prophet has come and he finds that he has missed the prize that was almost within his grasp. That is our New Years greeting to the thousands of friends who read this. No matter how dark and dis couraging the outlook may be, have faith In yourselves and In the good providence of God. and may this year bring you the fruitage of your hopes. the transformation of life which IS wonderful and yet al possible as the change which comes to the earth in May. when the warm rains and the mounting sun suddenly work the mir acle Of the springtime. when the cold and barren earth. as in response to the touch of an invisible wand, blooms with verdure.- Boston Watchman.

 Jack said nothing, but he reflected that for once Tom had the better of him. and that when the wedding cake came it was Tom who had said "A girl must be pretty hard up to do this"
 Out on the veranda Miss Templeton sat in a steamer chair with her hands cIasped before her By her side. perched on the railing and opening and shutting her fan as he spoke, Tom Carpenter was holding forth on the beauties of Manila.

 As she said this, Tom looked at her dress.

 Christmas toys. To the man, engrossed by the enticing game of business in which he was now an acknowledged champion, Christmas meant nothing but a popular dissipation, a mild craze like a street pageant or any other diversion, a carnival time for people who had no absorbing oc- equations to steady them, period of pub- lie enthusiasm to be mildly wondered at.
 He was about to pass on with a contempt uous sniff when up in one corner of the window his eye caught sight of some thing that changed the whole tenor of his thoughts. Just cheap little Jack-in-the- box it was, almost the only toy in the win dow that was not a novelty" of fin-de- siecle ingenuity and it stood up saucily jeering at him with the same grotesque face that had frightened him as a boy.
 In twinkling the crowd had disappeared, and the show window, glittering with tin- sel and color was transformed into home ly scene, where two boys, still in their night gowns, stood before a wide hearth, upon which a merry Christmas morning fire cracked and spluttered away casting its ruddy glow upon the contents of the well-hlled stockings, which were being eagerly emptied.

We Should Not Be Discoura sed by the
 Failures of the Past

It is hard to tell whether the beginning of the New Year Is the more full Of hope fulness or regret. Of course the day Is nothing. Every day marks the beginning of new year; but. while all Christendom Is fastening its thought upon this point of time as the close of one period and the commencement of another. serious persons can hardly help making an appraisement Of the past and a forecast of the future
 They think of what they have done and what they have omitted to do of the losses and gains of the year. and it may we'll fall out that the debit side of the ledger carries a discouraging balance. But we make a pretty unfortunate mistake If we let the failures and disappointments of the past cloud our horizon Many lives are like cen tury plants-they burst into bloom only
