NEW YEAR REVERIES.
If you find it so difiicult to keep
your New Year's resolutions, per
haps; it would be a igood idea ty
maice a few bad ones this time, tor a
chance. For instance, you might
resolve to be cross to j bur wife (if
you have one) every day during the
year, and then give her gentle words
and loving kisses instead.- You can
thus be consistent with your past re
cord, and possibly be a better man
when another year rolls around.
A new year is here. It is a time
for invoice. Busintss men take an
invoice of their stock. Wouldn't it
be business for you $o 0Qe of

ness. nave you gamea or lose last
year? Have you used the talents that
have beea given you so as to gain
other talents. Is there any prospect
of your being placed over ten cities
or live cities or one city? Have you
declared ajn, dividends in the way of
loviflg ahd uelpmg others, and have
you added anything to the capital
stock of vour character? Thfe83 are
. pertinent questions that press us all
for an answer. Let the result of the
self invofoe be a spur to us in living
the looming year, or a cause for great
congratulations as we review the
past and go forth to build "more
stately mansions' for the future.
The first of January is the, initial
day of the year, and "as such is hon
ored by a multitudft of observances,
chief among which are the Kew
Year calling customs, the inter
change of gifts, the cordial greeting,
"A Happy New Year," and the de
monstrations attendant upon the
contemplative habit of seeing the
old y6ar ouf and the ' new year in.
There are two great reasons why
the time should be, if not cheeiful,
at least tranduil. If the old year
has brought sorrow and desolations,
and hung crapa on our doors, the
new year will bring us the leaves of
healing, and we are glad to part
with the one and welcome the other.
If, on the contrary, the old year has
brought us only joy aud comfort, we
part trom him sorrowfully, but meet
his successor with the ardent hope
that he, too, comes with blessing.
ofcr jollity of Tew Year's day
is alwaffl of an impressive nature.
It is like scanding for one brief
moment on the threshold betWfiefi
time and eternity. Here is the
world we know yonder 'the world
that is new and untired.

Though times and seasons are not
as important as many would have us
think, still nearly every thoughtful
person at Jhe coming v new, year re
members how old he is and wishes
he were not quite so old. Let us
turn our minds aviray fromthe taber
nacle of flesh, the least real thing in
our lives, and think a little of the in
ward growing old. For the body
every added growth is almost: incal
culable gain. How old are we?
How much older than a year, two
years, ten years ago? How much
quicker to recognize the divine
voice? How much atronger our
hand and clearer our voice against
evil? How much "swifter our feet -to
bear the message of good will to
' men? How much gain has there
been in power and willingness to
serve? H How much more faithful are
we in the chaos of small and com
mon duties and cares? How much
: truer are we in friendship jwarmer
in the home- Ip ea,J; more ' patient
with the mistaken and the bad?

fn view and we shali in al4 human
probability, pass it and fctrnggle on
to the next. As we sit at our desk
and pen this short epistle to the
young, we wonder if anything we
may write will cause them to think
more serious ly)f what all life means
to them and the brief period that is
given them to improve it. The boy
makes trje man the girl the woman.
My boy, how do you want to,.be re
membered by the people after you
are gone, as a Lincoln or as' a Booth?
My. gin; wnat position ao you wisn
to occupy in the hearts of the people
with whom you have lived? You
are the moulders of your own des
tinies. -You can make them what
you will. It rests with you wheth
.er your name sali go down in the
history honored or cursed, or wheth
er it shall pass into oblivion as soon
as the earth has hidden your mortal
remains. Now is the time to choose.
There .are only two roads ro travel;
one leads to happiness and honor,the
other, to sorrow or. degredation. We
suppose you want to travel theJittt
