is not my own mouth, not my own
back, not my own life, but theirs to-
which I minister. Then hail New
Year! My master is unselfish love.
My king is my sense Of manly duty"
He breaks forth into a song. The
cold stars hear him, the iron bound
wheels of his milk cart drum an echo
as a kings chariot could not. He has
entered into a new world. He has for
gotten himself. Blessed work, when
work is for a holy love. Alas! for him
who slaves 1t for his savings bank &C,
count, with small earnings, hoping to.
get rich and growing sick at heart by,
the long delay. The way for most Of
US to meet each new yea is not to
count how near-or, alas! how far
we are to being independent" but by
thinking thankfully how much many
loved ones are depending on us and we
are yet able to care for.
Why To- look Upon each new load
that is added, year by rear, as a new
sign OF manhood? Why not see in each
fresh are one more mark OF honor
from our Creator? Why do we, poor
fools, dream of a time when we shall
have none enough to be idle, and then
be obliged to go to Mexico for a fresh
sensation OF a new wine? Is II not all
a matter OF the heart, anyway? Do
the opulent ldlers escape? a Europe

the men who have played and danced
TIN life is old and those who have stored
and plodded till life is old? The
springs of eternity are in the human
breast. Alas! for him who has dried
up those sweet waters, whether by
overindulgence or observation-disclosures.
The New Year comes in the room Of
the invalid, all Gagged and bedridden, If
a bright n deathless spirit inhabits
the pain racked body. Do we moi know
OF such bright chambers? Can we not
each visit some heroic sufferer to whom
the unconquerable soul within gives
such mastery over time hat years of
sickness possess no powers to cloud?
What is time to the aged who grow
happier as they grow old? What is
the date to some Of our fathers and
mothers whose eve youthful love
makes them seem as young as their
children's children whom they dandle
on their aged knees? Thank God for
the good n unselfish heart hat never
grows old!

The Usual Thing.

Nc more We'll swear, no more we'll drink
No more our money s~quander:
No more we'll lie like all git-out-
OF church We'll be much fonder.
Nc more We'll cuff the children's ears
No more We'll lick their mother;
Nc more we'll kick III dog about
Or borrow from our brother.
Wen steal no more, though opportune-
Wen tap no tills this season;
And highway robbery give up
For most sufficient reason.
Wen want to murder, but we won't
Wen want to play at arson;
Wen want to steal the pews from church
And rob the good old parson.
Wen thirst to kill a cop or two
Wen itch to max abductions;
Well want to burn the poorhouse down
And make some big reductions.
But tits the day When all resolve
The lay OF resolutions;
The day when all awake to feel
The need of evolutions.
So put It down In black nd white,
And say 1t all together;
Wen angels be the coming cal,
No matter what the weather"

Novel by Twelve Authors.

A novel by IL authors. That is the
latest in the literary world of Germany
The idea has been carried out by Kon-
rad w. Mecklinburg, the publisher OF
the work. who, according to a state
men made by him, had the first chap
ter written by a we'll known author and
sent 1t forthwith to another. When
this one had finished his chapter the
two were forwarded to a third writer,
and so the book, full of satire, pro-
fusely illustrated, having numerous
biographies of the writer's, grew to IL
chapters, with 400 pages. The authors
are Hermann Bahr, Otto Ernst, Hans
Heinc, Ewers, George Hirschfeld, Gus
tav Meyrink, Olga Wohlbruck, Otto Ju-
Illus Bierbaum, Herbert Gutenberg, Gus
tav Fake, Felix Hollaender, Gabriel

The reports from the grain fields OF
Central Canada (Which comprises the
provinces of Manitoba. Saskatchewan
and Alberta) are to hand. The year

previous years in proving that this
portion Of the continent is capable Of
producing a splendid yield of all the
smaller grains, bat 1t has thoroughly
outstripped precious seasons. There

from all parts Of an area Of about
800, 900 square miles there comes the
strong refrain OF contentment and
satisfaction. In the distribution of
the conditions causing it no district

Various estimates of the total yield
OF wheat for the country have been
made, but 1t is not the vast total that

with a yield of from 325.0oo!00O to
100000 900 bushels. When 1t Is CON

United States but slightly exceeded

these figures may be understood. Well,
such 10 a safe forecast, for Canada has

OF the three great wheat growing
provinces of Canada. with 100000
acres under wheat, produces nearly
100000 600 bushels, or upwards OF one
tenth of the greatest Yield of the Unit
