The festive celebration Of the year has been

peoples ancient and modern, and that character

Julius Caesar brought the civil year into close
harmony with the solar, in B. c. 46, but, for
many centuries, the example not followed
by subsequent European nations. At time
there were seven different dates for the begin
ming OF the year among the. Christian nations
and even successive popes, until comparatively
recent times, scarcely ever adopted the

Mohammedan year, being dependent on the
phases of the moon, had and has no fixed begin

the New Year among the Catholic nations of
Europe In 1882 when Pope Gregory XIII intro
duced the new style of reckoning. and corrected
the accumulated discrepancies between the Jul

snow is a mournful dirge for the days that
are gone, for the irrevocable past. Chast-
ening some with the heavy hand of sorrow
and woeful loss, showering blessings of
happiness and love upon others, the year
that is dying in the night" has striven
nightly tobe the friend of all. Even
where unmer1ted misfortune has swamped
the high spirit and bruised the aching
heart, the old years passing stirs memo
ries Of regret for bright hopes faded, and
of gratitude for the few radiant CLEANS of
happiness which have illumined the darkness.

declining moments of the old year are devoted

resolutions of reformation adopted for future
guidance 1t has been said that those who make
good resolutions only those who break them.
Too often they are simply the impotent prod
ucts of lingering habit, aroused to life in the
bewdering swirl of customary moral house
cleaning, and doomed to brief existence. A
momentary repentance, induced by the sol
emnity and associations of the season. does not
effect much material change in the moral Ca
pacity for clean living. Generally, something is
bound to give way when new wine is put into
old bottles. To do as matter of course that
which Is right 1t comes Is the true secret of
good life, and becomes in time a force more
persistent and effectual than the weakened
habit of shipping ill-assorted deck cargo of
good resolutions, whose shifting in bad weather
will give serious trouble until it is jettsoned,

How many tragedies are re-
corded among those who saw a
wife or husband go to death
will never be known. There may
be cases where the one who was
saved forgot everything except the
impulse of self, there were un-
doubtedly many where husbands
were swept from wives in the
panic, there were undoubtedly
many where one of couple de-
liberately gave the other the
chance for life that was not great
enough for two.
