Hard on the Old Man.

There are divers manners of forming
resolutions for the new year that are
always put into practice, and all have
their dcvot"cS. even if the turning over
of n brand new leaf only lasts week.
There is one system of starting the
new year, however, that has lost at
least one dcvOtce for all time in New
Orleans About o'clock last New
Years morning. after the usual usher
ing in of the new year and as the fam
lily was about to retire, the head of the
house told of an old custom that was
in vogue when he was a boy. He eX-
planned that in his boyhOod everybody
would open the Bible at random on the
first Of the year and the first text his
eye should rest on would be a guide
for his conduct during the coming year.
The custom found ready acceptance,
and one young hopeful produced Il
Bible, and, letting it fall open, his fin
ger fell on the following text from
ZecharialI, chapter i, =: 'Thc Lord
hath been sore displcaScd with your
fathers" 1t is needless to say that no
other member of the family was COaXed
TO try the old cuStom.-New Orleans

con- "to make good resolutions fer the
new year, which has fell foul of us in
the tWinkln of eye. Now, l want to
start the ball a-rollin. You all know
that I've got Il high temper, an I've did
considerable fightin in the year that's
past an gone like man that owes you
so. What | want to do is to swear off
from tightin in the new year, which,
as | have said before, has fell foul of
us. But | can't stop till | lick Brother

They retired to the outer darkness,
but in less than five minutes the deacon
returned, much the worse for wear.

CN0N THE principle of beginning
Sl the year well it has been Gus
h6YYTA tomary in many countries to
EHSSiu select New Years day as most
auSpiciouS for mntrimony. and indeed
remnant of this custom is found
among ourselves. for no day iA more
highly favored in this regard than the
list Of January. says the st. Louis
Glohc-DcmOcrat. In some countries
the weddings of the year are all ar
ranged with view to their celebration
on Jan. l. and by curious contradic-
tion. insSinh and some mountain dis
trictS in India. the years funerals are
also celebrated on the first day of the
succeeding year. Temporary intcrmcnts
take place Il day or two after death.
but on the first day of the following
January the remains of those who died
during the year are borne to their last
resting place, the funeral fcnStS are
celebrated at the same time with the
weddings. and in the most literal man
ncr the funeral baked meats do coldly
furnish forth the marriage tables.
Advantage is taken of the day by the
unmarried to ascertain how many years
will elapsc ere the bonds of matrimony
are fixed upon them. The French peas
ant girl borrows her mothers wedding
ring and suSpcnds it by n hair from her
own head. holding it as near as posi-
bic to the inner rim of n tcacup. Then
she counts. as rapidly as may be, the
number of her own years. The trcm-
ulousnCSS of her fingers causes the Sus-
pended ring to sway to and fro. An
other notes while she is counting the
number of taps of the ring on the tea
cup, and these bctokcn the years of
single blcSSedncSS that lie before her.
In the country districts of Germany
and England there is Il tea and coffee
test, which has the merit of limiting
the years to Il number so reasonable
that any girl should feel satisfied with
the result. As conducted, according to
Gunter, this test is as follows: \ tea
spoon is carefully balanced on the edge
of Il cup: then another spoon is partly
filled with tea or coffee, which. drop
by drop, is allowed to fall in the bowl
of the balanced spoon, until the bowl
outwcighs the handle and the spoon
falls into the cup. The merit of this
divinatiOn lies in the fact that one or
two good sized drops will destroy the
balance and cause the spoon to fall,
and, on this account, spoon divination
is in high favor among the rural bellies.
The custom of visiting and of send
ing presents and cards on New Years
day is so ancient that the historian of
social customs does not record a time
when in some form it did not exist.

Much to Learn In the New Year.

All beginnings are important and
Significant but the true cras are not in
the calendar, but in the heart. The
new years beginning the rcalncwye year
of grace and obedience, with their re-
sulting gift of peacc-is not an arbi-
trary period, but the hour of inward
choice, when the will of man gives up
the helm into the hand of Christ. In
that new year there must be much to
learn and suffer, but there shall be
more to win and to enjoy.

hard to see what Judas lScariOt has to
do with Christmas, but tradition as
serts that Judas, in addition to his
sins, was possessed of Il monStrOus
crop of hair. Therefore no redhCadcd
person or even one of fair complexion
must place ''lirst foot" in a house on
this momcntOuS morning. The QucS-
ton of complexion, however, is not al

it is Il fair and not a dark man who

should, to make the charm most COM

every room, carrying a piece of holly

If the question of complexion is I'M
settled, that of sex is decidedly not.
No female under any circumstances
must be the first to enter house on
New Years morning.
