The Coming of
the New Year.

ktlS lNNw val
Let the New Year sing
At the Old Years grave.
Will the New Year bring
What the Old Year gave?
All. the strange year trips over the
SHOWS,
And his brow is wreathed with
many rose;
But how many thOrns do the roses
conceal,
Which the roses, when withered,
shall so soon reveal?
The good old year with its wreath
of roses faded and scar upon its
brow. the cruel thorns which have
pieced deep in many hearts, showing
between the dead leaves. is soon to
make it's exit. The year which came
in fresh and radiant with hopes, is
breathing its last, and will soon be
numbered among the mile-stones OF
the past.
Still il came to us as fresh and
sweet. as will the new born year of
nineteen hundred and seven, offering
it's clean. white pages for new re-
solves, those pages which by the old
year. are sadly closed, smirched and
blackened as they are, with unkept
resolutions, and vows we had forgot
ten ere the new year counted its life
by hours.
The old year contained for us joys
and sorrows, the same as the white
new year will bring. The old year,
perhaps. has taken from us many Of
those who made life's happiness. We
have watched the still cold forms Of
our loved ones put away forever for
our earthly view, and as the hollow
sound Of the earth falling upon the
coffin lid came to US, with its terrible
significance, we felt that all years
would be the same, cold and cher
less. with only the hope of heaven left
within them.
Then we thank with tenderness
yelling up within our hearts, Of a
year which brought us so much happi-
ness. of a year in which the sun of
prosperity shown brightly upon us,
of the year when the fullness of loves
young dream was realized, of the
time when the soft cheek of the first
born nestled against its mothers
breast, and sweet baby eyes looked
love into eyes which answered
with loving intensity. These are the
years we love to remember, and
AS the vine that clings 10 the oak
that falls,
AS the ivy twines round the crum-
bled walls:
For the dust of the past some hearts
higher prize
Than the stars that fash out from
the futures bright skies"
The future has been mercifully
yelled from our view, and as the bells
which herald the coming of the new
year, are heard we may know that
1t will come to us white and clean,
and it lies within ourselves to make
1t what we will.

The old man, according TO the Ottawa
Herald, had accumulated a competence
by the exercise of shrewd business deal
ings among his neighbors and others,
and was content at times to let himself
be pointed out as a model of success.
He owned large property, but il was
never noticed that his estate doomed up
large when the assessor came around.
One day, some years ago, according TO
his story, the assessor visited the home
in the old fellows absence and had his
talk with the wife instead Of the man
himself. The wife knew Of no reasons
why the same talk that was offered to
other people should not be delivered TO
the assessor and with pardonable pride
she recited correct list of her husbands

He had not been heard TO swear in

day the small son, youth of perhaps
five summers, came home from kin

Why replied Mrs. Platt, there's

The Answer.

A man desperately in love once
sought philosopher for cure. II
have had" said the man, "about all
can stand OF this sort of living. Be-
tween terrific quarrels and midnight
makeups I'm about dead. l want to
withdraw with honor and n whole
skin"
Your case is pathetic one" said
the philosopher. My advice to you is
TO study the workings of your own
mind. You will find then what you
deem real is only, after all, the phe-
nomena Of being. This creature that
you love is in reality only an illusion,
a subjective projection. and exists only
IN terms of empirical consciousness.
After awhile. by reflections Of this
sort, you Will rise above such folly"
SO the man went away and began to
reflect upon the transcendental aesthet-
ic and the properties Of space and time,
but he found the relief was only tenn
porary, for when the girl came and put
her arms around his neck he was as
badly off as ever, SO in despair he went
to wise man.
I'm in love-" he said. land don't like
1t. l want TO be calmer and do things
worth while"
Study astronomy" said the wise
man. after you have been at it for
awhile your own insignificance will APP
pail you. You and your girl will fade
away. Then when you come back to
earth take care to bring only Yourself"
SO the man looked at the stars.
But there was the girl behind him,
with her soft hands in his hair. and at
last he gave il up. What are a few
picayune planets" he cried, compared
with her caresses?'
And then he was obliged to acknowl-
edge that still he was not bis own mas
ter.
And after the next quarrel he went to
an alchemist.
Mix me Il drug" he said. that will
cure me Of love"
The alchcmist smiled.
my friend" he replied, "to be candid
with you, a great many fine stories
have been floating around about sun
dry old potions for this purpose but
they are quack remedies. The only
cure know of is prussic acid"
The man smiled grimly 81 don't
want to die quite yet" he said. II
want to get rid Of this love feeling.
It's the worst agony / ever experienced.
1t blows hot and it blows cold"
We'll" said the alchemist, "go and
ask that clown over yonder. Maybe
he'll tell you"
So the man went to the clown and
told his story.
want to know the answer? the
clown grinned.
Eyes, yes" said the man impatiently.
MARRY the girl" said the clown.
