. Ply NEW Year,
What makes a year happy One would
answer one way, one another; but all would
probably say Yes, in reply to the question,
whether the sense of duty done day by day
does not constitute the greatest happiness?
We have no Intention to offer our readers
n lny sermon, but perhaps a few brief re-
marks on the serious aspect of the season
may be allowed us.
The opening of a New Year is generally
regarded as a suitable time for reviewing
the past and making good resolutions for the
future. The welI-known proverb, that the
road to hell is paved with good resolutions,
although it may properly friglten us from
breaking such resolutions, should not be
allowed to deter us from making them. Most
OF us need Improvement somewhere, either
III connection with our life's work or in
smaller matters. and it is always worth while
to consider just where the Improvement is
needed, and then to set earnestly about
making it. We shall have our reward, often
q richly abundant one.
Apart from he question of duty comes
the possession of a hobby, or perhaps of
several. They may be various, for one man
athletics, for another music, for another art
or nature studies or book subjects. What
ever they may be, the pursuit of them tends
to happiness. A man with several or many
interests knows nothing OF ennui, and can
afford to laugh at such questions as Is Ifs
worth living? For he knows from every days
experience that life is worth living.
May the readers Of this paper find the new
year to be a happy one both in the fulfil
ment Of duty and in the pursuit of those
particular activities or studies in which they
find pleasure.

much in Jacksonville, and anti-Cuban testimony, no
matter what the color of the witnesses, didn't
for ANYTHING at all. After his dismissal in New York,
Vunez was taken to Jacksonville and tried again for
flbusterng this time with reference to the Dauness,
and again acquitted. This left the Government with
no legal grounds for holding the Dauntless and she
released.
WITH all of these little annoyances removed, we
w turned our minds to the shipment of more aid
and comfort to Cuba. The next expedition was note
worthy from the fact that it included one OF the recently
invented Sims Dudley dynamite guns. The gun was in
