No Morals In Qreamland.

II. as many writer's have suggested,
1t Is the soul itself that guides the i'm
agery Of dreams. how are we to ex-
plain the fact that in this chaos of
ideas and feelings there is so little dis
tinction between right and wrong that
when dreaming we commit acts for
which we should weep tears of blood
were they as real as they seem to be.
AS Professor Hoffman has said THE
familiar check of waking hours. Il
must not do 1t because it would be I'M
Just or unkind,' never once seems to
arrest us in the satisfaction of any
whim which may blow about our way
ward fancies."
From all of which we must conclude
that the dream realm is world that is
entirely oblivious to any moral sense
and that, though it may be true that a
troubled conscience may produce or
affect our dreams, the dreams them
selves are never burdened with a con.

Tax on Hats.

Not only have hats at various times
been subject to taxation, but have even
been made the subject of special laws
Thus in Henry Wis reign none was
allowed to sell hats at larger price
than 20 pence or caps for more than
2s. Sd. Some compensation. however,
for this interference with free trade
could be found in the fact that in 1871
on Sundays and holidays every one
above seven years of age was required
to wear cap Of wool of English make

"Oh, George" she said, "what is the

pleaded, for, though she might be
frisky with George, she did not wish to

"Oh, George, George, why are you

Georges face became ashen gray at
her fateful words.
THAT is it!' he hissed, the awful fire
Of jealousy blazing in his eyes. THAT

A happy new year to the MES
SAGE and all its readers.
AS this is the beginning of n
new year, and the time when all
begin to form new resolutions and
make new vows, / feel inclined to
write a few lines to the dear old
MESSAGE. "
The year that has just past out
has brought many changes to our
home. Our children are all scat.
tered, some 10 the far West, and
some TO the far South, aud strange
feelings and memories come over
us on this New Years morning.
know it is quite natural that we
sometimes linger long over the
fading embers of the dying year
before we can say farewell.
Last night as we sat over the
dying embers dreaming OF the old
year that was just passing out,
visions came before us of the dear
dead past, visions of departed
loved ones, Of the pale brow and
folded hands on the peaceful breast,
of many gOodbyes and falling
tears, of hasty words spoken that
can never be recalled, of disap'
pointments and heartaches, OF
failures made and time wasted, OF
opportunities lost and of anticip-
ated pleasures that never came,
And as we mused thus, we were
aroused from the reverie by the
old clock on the mantel as it chin
ed ont the hour of twelve, aud the
embers had faded and turned gray
and the sparks were gone, and We
said. "Goodby. dear old year, with
all your joys and sorrows.
For with the waking of the New
Year come new opportunities, ant
we must grid ourselves for the re
sponsibilities of another year anC
and do with cur might what on
hands find to do"
Many sad hearts will need
word Of comfort, or a smile t
tighten the burden of life; or per
haps
There are old and forsaken,
Who linger awhile in the home
that their dearest have left.
Aud a few gentle words or al
action of love
May cheer their sad spirits bereft.
A ray Of sunshine will Offer
come stealing into the darkest cor
ners Of earth from kind wor'
spoken, a word of sympathy, or
kindly deed.
Each new born opportunit,
brings new responsibilities, ant
each new year may be made bette
and brighter by our lives.
AS we hasten ON to the neN
duties of this new year, we vii
just pause to say "all hail" to III
dear old friend of Audrain Co.
and especially the dear old friend
at Rush Hill. A happy New Yea
to one and ali. May rich blessing
\ and prosperity rest with each {
! you.
