A NEW YEARS PRAYER.

In the new year may we keep our
reverence unimpaired for the hum
ble-minded, and those who have suf-
fered much; our humor alert for our
own mistakes and our self-sufficiency,
and not at any time wreak it upon
the aged, the crippled, the obscure,
May we guard childhood and honor
age, however infirm and petulant, be-
cause it has gone a long way on the
same road that bruises our feet; and
ever seek to proiong the brief moment
of JOY as it visits children and lovers.
May we have the grace to rejoice in
the flow of life as it moves through
from generation to generation, and to
be purified by the mystery in which
we dwell-the night silences and the
wonder of our inner life. May We
know that humanity is vaster than
any creed of it's devising, any church
of it's building, any religion of it's
shaping. May we look upon the wide
spread spectacle ct human suffering
and, having endured to look upon it,
learn to know our single life-seem-
ingly 50 unique-as drop of that in
finite sea. When it comes our time
to realize that in this earthly progress
we shall not long dwell with happiness
or with success, may we clear our
spirit of bitterness, and in calm
strength continue at the work.-Col-
lier's Weekly.

BRINGING IN The
new YEARS WATER

Perhaps in no part of the British
Isles is the New Year heralded with
more quaint and curious customs than
in Pembrokeshire That picturesque
county abounds with strange customs
and rare superstitions, and If you are
a. lover of the curious and picturesque
customs of bygone days, the day OF
DAYS to be in Pembrokeshire is on
January l.
You will very probably be awakened
by the strains of some musical lnstru-
ment-preferably a concertina or &C.
Gordon, but a mouth-organ will do
and the singing of childrens voices
of the following words
Rise up a New Years morning,
The cocks are all a-crowinG; ....
And il you think it is too soon,
Rise I'D and look at the stars and moon.
If you are enthusiastic enough to
descend you will find a group OF boys
of all ages on your doorstep. armed
with little cups or mugs Of cold water
and sprigs of box, clamoring for
the New Years water" to be taken
in. If you accede to their request, the
sprigs of box are dipped into the New
Years water" and tiny shower
sprinkled over your face. e.-
This is supposed to bring great good
luck to you and your household, but
three things must be carefully OBJ
served-the bearers of good luck must
come inside your door, every member
Of the household must go through this
ordeal by water to ensure luck to him
self, or herself, and the bringers OF
the luck must be rewarded in man
ner suitable to your position. The
well-to-do give small silver, and per
haps refreshments; others coppers;
and some of the poorest sweets, or
anges, nuts, cake etc.
Every good Pembrokeshire house
wife lays in store OF small coins and
good things of the season, in readiness
for the early visits of the youth of hel
town or village, and many deny them
selves to do this. To assert that the
bringing of the New Years water
does not bring good luck would be re
garded as rank blasphemy.
Girls are considered very unlucky te
enter your house first on New Years
Day, and dark persons are preferred
to those of fair complexion as luck
bringers. To avoid anything 80 ter
rible as the entry of girl or WON
an or fair person first on New Years
Day, the doors are kept locked, ant
when knock is heard the caller /:
either inspected from window o.
some other coign of vantage, or in
terrogated through the closed door.
This all may appear very absurd II
print, but If you pay visit to Tenb.
or some other place in 'the premiel
county Of Wales" you will enter int
4 the spirit of the thing, and feel the de
| light Of hearing the familiar greeting
"A Happy New Year" accompanied
by tiny jet Of Icy water on you
face.
