NEW YEARS DAY IN ENGLAND.

New Years day Is kept very curl
ously in some Of the old countries. In
England the ringing Of bells is about
the only formal demonstration they
show for the anniversary at the pres
ent time, though years ago 1t was as
much of gala day as Christmas.
They used to give presents and have
great feasts, and there was good
deal of revelry and drunkenness, more
than there ought to have been In a
civilized community. On the whole
the new is quite as good as the old
way, to my thinking. In Denmark the
cannon booms, as a sound Of JOY to
welcome In the new year. Every
morning of the first of January, Copen-
hagen is shaken by this peaceful can
nonading. The people in the rural
districts go to the farmhouses and fire
their muskets under the windows Of
the sleeping inmates, to inform them
that new year is at hand. The GUS
tom is not very nice one; 1t smacks
too much Of old time roughness and
rudeness.

Some New Year DOn'tS

Don't sprinkle salt on the tail Of tempta-
ton.
Don't try to get the better Of man who
hasn't any.
Don't snore in church. It's mean to keep
others awake.
Don't be satisfied to pay as you go.
Save enough to get back.
Don't get married with the sole idea
that misery loves company.
Don't follow the beaten track unless
you are satisfied to remain beaten.
Don't accept advice from man who
never offers you anything else.
Don't expect Opportunity to come to you
with letter of introduction.
Don't trust to luck. Nine-tenths Of the
people in the world guess wrong.
Don't buy your friends. They never last
as long as those you make yourself.
Don't envy the. rise Of others. Many a
man who gets to the top is mere froth.
Don't greet Misfortune with a smile
unless you are prepared for one-sided
Irritation.
Don't make good resolutions unless you
constantly carry a repair kit with you.
Don't place too much confidence in APP
pearances. Many man with red nose
Is white all the way through.
Don't forget in times Of peace to pre-
pare for war. That's about the only use
some Of US seem to have for peace.
Don't fail to have an object in view.
Many man leads such an aimless exist
ence that he could fire at random without
hitting it.-Lppincotts.

DIDN'T OBSERVE NEW YEARS
Purltans Regarded the Celebration as
a Heathenlsh and un-christian
Rite.

The sole record of the observance
OF the New Year by the Pilgrims in
the new world, named New England,
was most prosaic, most brief: 1--WE
went to work betimes." Many Of the
good Puritan ministers thought the
celebration or even notice Of the day
in any way savored Of improper and
un-Christian reverence for the heath.

tiers came from land where New
Years eve and New Years day were
second in Importance and domestic
observance only to Christmas.
Throughout every English county
New Years eve was always celebrat-

pretty name of Singing E'enofrom the
custom which obtained of singing the
last of the Christmas carols at that
time.

Take away the tattered page
or my erstwhile piety.
Dim and soiled and outraged quite
Mocked OF bland safety;
Resolutions such as they
May greet the season with aplomb,
But when the year. grown old and gray,
Times not crutch to lean upon
OF all that lofty sentiment,
fain would close the vexing tale
And yet again experiment.
For like a bloom perennial
And rosy tinted wake the dreams
OF all the morrows yet to come,
When life is really what It seems;
When hardness and broken vows,
And duties shirked for Pleasures court,
yAnd Mother Grundy's sad pow-wows,
And tickle Fashions mad report
Are strangers to my righteous heart
Tear up the old and frame the new

This New Day.

Out Of the tomb Of night day has
risen. Be not anxious; this day is all
your own. Do not hurry, for in time 1t
is like all other days; neither delay,
for now is passing. Early turn your
face to the dawn and let its fresh
beams battle away all stains Of night;
then, should the noon be dark with
storms, your smile will still wear the
rose tints Of the morning. Step soft
ly among human hearts, and leave 80
much Of kindness along life's pathway
that gladness shall spring up. bearing
tribute in the cool entide of the
Worlde glad New Day.-Croft.
