A NEW YEARS H0MnY.

New Years Day is in some way
recognized by every people having a
formal calendar, yet the hours Of the
last day Of the old year generally
pass with little variation from or
binary routine. Nevertheless, it is
the completed book whose story i'm
presses the reader for good or bad,
not the cover or the frontispiece Of
the new one. Nearly all the words
OF our language applying to a course
not absolutely marked out describe
the path that is left behind and not
that which ia before. There is no
counterpart TO the ships wake" for
the course which the prov is about
to break, nor Of the track Of the cy-
clone" nor Of the spoor Of the tiger,
nor OF "the trail" Of numberIess ami,
mails, 1t may be noted incidentally
that laws or ordinances require au
tomobiles to carry a number, in large
figures, hanging from the back. No
body who sees an automobile coming
cares what it's number is, Only when
it happens to leave some record be
hind in its track is the knowledge OF
its number important. 1t is doubt
less because the future is swarmlng
with possibilities, whereas the past
constitutes a record which cannot be
changed, that most Of our festivities
centre about the anticipation of the
new year rather than in a RETROSPECT
tive affection for the old. In the cid
or days Of the world prophecy held a
place of prominence among all PEG,
Piles. but Of history in the scientific
sense there was none. This has
been reversed by the severely prac-
tical modern world. History is at a
premium, prophecy at a discount.
Yet the almost disregarded last day
Of December stands for the com
pIeted record, as New Years does
for the prophecy of what is to come.
