GOOD-BY, OLD YEAR.
By Clifford Kane Stout.

Good-by, Old Year, your mission ends
 With midnight chimes and all is done; The records writ with joy or less,
 The deeds fulfilled and guerdons won Are hung as trophies round thy rime And thou are named with olden time. Forevermore ;oh, fateful past,
 That saw so much no law can change; Beginning and the end of things
 That were to be, the new and strange, The old and worn and bloom and blight, Passed to the dark or born to light. And, oh for some happy year;
 Sweet wedding bells rang joyously; Old friends clasped hands and strangers
 met,
 And sunshine fell so glad and free On buoyant youth, and smiles were fair, And laughter bantered pain and care. Some tears must fall in every year;
 Your portion came when grief had set A badge of mourning on the hearts
 Of some whose love could not forget, And hopefully, without dismay They covered friends of yesterday. Good-by, Old Year: we regret the New; When we recall your gifts and cost May then a double portion show
 Thy favors won OCT which was lost. Good-by! hand at parting; then A benediction and amen. -Cinciuuati Enquirer.

ITS FAT YEARS TO COME.
Australia Surely Has Had It's Share
 of Lean Ones.

Of conditions in Melbourne and Australia generally recent traveller writes: "A run by steamer down the Yarra Yarra river showed with what a lavish hand money had been spent during the great building boom of the early nineties. There were miles of wharves and quays without a ship or any sign of trade, but all waiting for the good time coming. Australia, in- deed, has passed through some lean years. In the early nineties the land and building boom burst and nearly all the banks broke, thousands being reduced to poverty. while trade and commerce greatly diminished.
 Then, just as a recovery was com ing fearful drought began and last ed for long time, sheep and cattle dying by-millions. One man we met told us how he had watched his sheep dwindle from 6O,0O0 to 5000 before the rain came. Now the rains are abundant again and Australia has en-

than plunge into it as though 1t were a rose garden.
 It is quite as full of danger and con- f1ict and clouds as the old friend that is going.
 Let us wish it will have even as much sunshine and gladness and joy.
 We can meet it with splendid hope and lively faith-for those two quali- ties are what make our dreams come true.
 Let us cherish a few good hopes that it may bring us the things we stand in need of-health, happiness, good friends success, joy and the clear vision that will teach us to discern the false from the true.
 May it leave us our beliefs and our ideals.
 Teach us to love more and to hate not at all.
 To be content with the blessings that we have
 To cultivate sweetness and good na- ture rather than exclusiveness.
 To meet the world with a smile.
 To stifle criticism of things and peo- pie.
 Never to make little of our own.

HAVE YOU HATED YOURSELF?
Now Is the Time to Turn Over the
 New Leaf.

How have you hated yourself dur ing the past year for doing the mean, contemptible, questionable thing, Yet you have tried to console yourself with the great good you could do with the money you made by it. It is astonishing how men will play with the poison of dishonesty, which is so insidious at first, which intoxicates and stimulates one, but paralyzes and kills later, says Dr. Warden in Success If every youth were only taught that to be successful a man must be great CT than his occupation; that his char acter must not be for sale at any price; that he will always be rich so long as he retains it, and just in pro- portion to it's strength and integrity, and weak and unhappy and failure no matter how much money he may have, just in proportion to the weak ness of his character; if he only started out with the conviction that only one real failure is possible, and that is the loss of self respect, the barter of ones character, either for pleasure or for money; if the youth were only taught that he cannot afford to deceive even a little bit in the quality of goods he is selling, or in the quality of the service he is giving, what revolution would come to our civilization!

Twenty-Five years since in England few members of the conservative party, desiring to add to it's strength and influence, proposed such a plan. and out of compliment and in memory of the late earl of Beaconsfield the present powerful and able Primrose league was named for it's favorite flower. The first movers in the form ing of this political organization were and Sir Henry Wolfe, ambassador to Madrid. Possibly the quick wit of the American woman was the germ which appealed to the enthusiasm of her British sisters. The danes of the Primrose league, which began in a small circle of London drawing rooms, now number their thousands and are found in "habitations"-th English synonym for our American chapters all over the tight little island"

  membership fees would form a fund which could easily be added to by sub scriptions, when needed, and the only pledge required of the members of the league would be that by their personal exertion they procure, outside of their own family connection, one or two votes at most to be cast at the gen. eral elections for the Republican party.
 The question of national flower has been matter of discussion for long time, but the golden rod grows in every state of the Union, and as it's color suggests "sound money" what better emblem could be found for the party which has taken that issue as part of it's political faith7 With the general election every four years, with no prime minister whose tenure ex- tends indefinitely, we lose the pretty custom which obtains in England, where Primrose day" is celebrated by wearing primroses and by decking Beaconsfeld's grave with the bright. eyed flower of spring. That, no doubt, would save the woman who may choose to inaugurate league such as described the reproach of the Anglo phobists-that we are becoming un- American, and even that awful thing, imperial, by sharing the old honor with old England of maintaining c floral and political society.

tered on another period of prosperity 1; but it is likely that another drought will come in less than 20 years, when the same ruin may be repeated.
 Nothing but series of storage res ervoirs on a large scale will meet the droughts, which appear to come in cycles of about 13 years. So bad are the effects of these droughts that in ten years the population of Melbourne increased by only 5000; the females increased 15,000, but the males di- unfinished by 12,000, showing what a vast number of men must have left in search of work"
