NEW YEAR'S THOUGHTS.
Farewell, Old Yoar l the rustle of whose
garment,
Fragrant with memory! I etill can hoar ;
For all thy tender kindness and thy
bounty
1 grog my thankful tribute on tby bier.
What is in store for ate, brave Naw Year,
hidden
Beneath thy glistening robe of loo and
snows ?
Are there sweet Bongs of birds, and
breath of lilacs
And blushing blooms of June's saint.
laden rose ?
Aro there oold winds and dropping leaves
of autumn,
heart-senrohing frosts, and etorno•elou1s
black and clroar?
Is there n rainbow spanning the dark
heaven ?
Wilt thou not epealc and tell me, glad
Now Year ?
As silent art then of the unknown future
As if thy days were numbered with the
dead ;
Yet, as I anter thy wide-open portal,
1 cures thy threshold with glad hope, not
dread.
To ma no pain, or fear or crushing sox.
rocs
Bast thou the power without His will to
bring ;
And so I fear thee not, oh, untried
me row
For well I know my Father is thy King.
If joy thou hriogest, straight to God, the
giver,
My gratitude shall rise ; for 'tie His gift;
11 sorrow, still, 'mid waves of grief's
cleep river,
My trembling heart I'll to my Father
lift.
If life's full cup shall be my happy por•
tion,
With thankful joy I'll drink the precioue
draught;
If death, my waiting soul noross life's
o'oean
But little sooner to my home 'twill waft,

A half-dozen boys to bo olothed end fed.
"And I buy for them all good, plain vie

My wife makes 'em over and gives 'am

As yon will promptly break this reSo•

science you may liovo at breaking any

Resolve : That you will epenlc nothing
but good of your friend..
In this way yon will be able to tell
very shortly how very few friends you
have.
Resolve : That you will never drink
again.
Then fa' It couple of weeks you can
tell your friends that you break your
good resolution merely to drink with
them, and they will feel very, very happy.
Resolve : Not to marry.
If married already, point to this reso'
1014011 at the end of the year with pride.
If a female (which it is to be hoped you
are n0t,) tell all the men about it.
Resolve : That yon will be prudent and

If you are not all will be well, 101.3,00
