THE NEW YEAR.
by Amos Il. Wells. }
The AMERICAS.
Ellsworth, Me.

What il an angel should hand you a
book containing a full history OF your
next three hundred and sixty-fiye days7
Would you dare open the book and read?
Undoubtedly you would be sorry IL you
did. 1t is well for us ali that the new
year is, as Horatio Nelson Powers has
sung,
A flower unblown. a book unread;
A tree with fruit unharvested;
A path untrod; a house " hose rooms
Lack vet the hearts divine perfumes;
A landscape hose vide border lies
In silent shade meath siiens skies;
A wondrous fountain yet unsealed;
A casket with its gifts concealed -
This is the year that for you waits
Beyond to- morrow's mystic gates.

Dear AUNT Madoe:

Perhaps you and the sisters and friends
would like short account of the delight
ful trip We took to-day, Dec. u. 1914
There were four of us. Three were New
Englanders- The other one had never
seen snow except in the distance on
mountain tops.
The mountains north of Pasadena, Cal.
rise TO height OF about 6,o0e feet above
the sea- There are several ways and
means the climber may choose in ascend
ing them. he can go up trail on foot or
on hurro or mule or horse, as thousands
do, or be can ride up in an automobile
there is daily automobile stage.
But the easiest and most oomforta bic
way OF going Is by electric car to base of
mountain, at RuDio canyon; thence BIZ
the incAne cable railway to Echo noun
tain, TO connect with another electric car
that Will take you on a railway of many
curves AID bridges in order to accommo-
date itself to the projecting points or
ridges and great dents or gorges on the
face OF the mountain, lying like snake
seEen miles long from said Echo noun
tain to alpine tavern, which nestles
among i've oaks hye or SIX miles short of
the summit 'ot Mt. Lowe.
TkIs was our trip. We had left our
home in the garden city, Pasadena, about
10 a. M, and had arrived about II a. u. at
Alpine tavern, the big fireplace of which
was eating great logs of oak, and there
was great black pot hanging on the
swinging craue. o, how we did enjoy that
friendly fire. There was snow outside.
and the caves OF the tavern were weeping
great tears of joy, guess, because of oer
presence and the presence of many othsrs,
coming on the same car.
Besides having very pleasant ride, up,
up, skywand where We got magnificent
view of the valley, a very vide range of il
and the surrounding country, we bad the
pleasure of seeing and feeling the chill
that comes from meeting the beautiful
snow We left flowers in the garden just
below as there in the valley. while here
on the mountain-top the snow was foot
deep. What a change so soon after break
fasti wish you could have enjoyed it,
auntle. SUSAN.

The following quotations were sent by
Sister E., and they are especially appro-
pirate for the time and the season:
With malice toward none; with charity
for all; with firmness in the right, as God
gives US to see the right, let us strive to
finish the work we are in; TO bind up the
nations wound; to care for him who
shall have borne the battle and his widow
and orphan, to do all which may achieve
and cherish just and lasting peace
among ourselves and with all nat ions

Talk happiness. The world is sad enough
Without your woes. No path is wholly
rough;
Look for the places that are smooth and
clear;
