to do a certain thing, and consequently sui fers; while as to the bad habit-well, Ii we were not strong enough to break 1t before, why should the advent of any particular day make 1t easier for us to overcome 1t now! Thus we are apt to reason, and, soon grow ing tired, We give up the thought of our New Years resolutions and plod along in the old way. Ii We could only keep them always before us much might be done, for there is only one way to accomplish any thing, and that is by adhering in the mi nutest detail to the plans we have made. One seldom breaks his high resolve or does a great wrong in the beginning he misses step here, step there, goes a little out of the way on this side, little on that, and is soon far from his starting point.
 The year, to look forward, seems long; but 1t will soon be gone. Let us strive each day, writes Olive Hyde Foster, in Farm and Preside, to make that one as near perfect as possible, and then the consciousness of earn est effort will, in a measure, compensate for the failure often sustained. Let the thought of the dear ones we so fondly love check the impatient word. Who can tell where they may all be ere we make our next New Years pledges? Some may be scattefed over the face of the earth-some, alasi may have gone into the great beyond, leaving us to sigh for the touch of a van ished hand and the sound of voice that is still;" nay, even we may be called to join the great majority; and if the summons should come, may there not be single secret pang over the word left unsaid to mar the joy of being released from the trials and temptations of this life.

New Year In Wales and Germanu

In Wales, fires are burned to usher in the New Year, and are left ahght from one year to the other. In Germany there are parts where at one time belief was enter tained in a god who brought light and warmth to the world each year. As bon fire typified the goodness of this god. huge fire is still built in the market place, and here the people flock, bringing with them things they wish to leave behind. Young men cast in their pipes and madens their love letters. A little before midnight the young people dance around the fire, calling: Health to the New Year"
