It shows no cIiiimus any where in its majestic course. Man, tlioUK'li, fur his convenience or pleas ure, or prulit, establishes tiims mid sea sons. Thus lie says the first day of Jan uary shall bo termed the lirginning of a New Year, The Unmans, with an acute poetic sense that pervaded ail their work, elected to have the dawn of the year show in March the lirst t.priiij month, when nature kisses new life into ever) 'thins and rubes the earth in garments of many colors. 'Man must have his pauses and starting point. It is not so much a question of sentiment as of necessity that dates and seasons be fixed. The success "I busines life depends upon it, and a nation with out a chronology is a people without a his tory. Kacli year must hold its ow n events, Dor may one trench upon the other. Leaving this line of suggestion, one is led to the thought that these year posts of man's time offer opportunity for reflection upon w hat lias been and what may lie. Kach New Year day tells not only of the new birth, but also of the year that is scpul tured. Here are presented in brave con trast life and death. As the old passes out, the new comes in. So with man and all other animate things. "The king is dead; live the king." So one lesson after another may be learned, if one be but a willing pupil. What the memories of the just dead year? What t lie sins, the errors, the foilies? What the good one did, and what progress in the knowledge that is lasting? Ah! the year is gone, gone to one and ull of us; but thu impression remains. These years one by one are character builders, each adding to the other until the mortal changes to the im mortal! Looking backward, what is the reckon ing? Whatever most of good, or of ill, the New Year is at hand. Let the accounting be just, that one may be abler to meet justly and righteously the things that are before. One should recull the errors of the past, not that he may mourn over them, but that ho may gain strength for future struggles. One need not give the whole of New Year'a day to the forming of good resolutions. Alas! there be many who do vow overmuch at such time. The hallway of the New Year, like that af hell, is paved with good inten tions On 2iay resolve and resolve again, and swear lustily in confirmation of such purpose; yt U uuavailingly, because ef the frailty of his being. K s;t the butter jmrt who reflects, and is not rash in promises, Not the same to all is the history of tho past year; and not two shall find the New Year the same in experience. Hut ench year is for all, and has in abundance riches of good for every one. The year just closed was lavish in gifts; the new oilers plenty as great. It is but to look for it fearlessly and the searcher will be rewarded. The old was and is not. The new is here with its portents. A warm heart for the year just dead, and a glad hand for the one that is newly born. WILLIAM ItOSSER COIiBE.

It Shows That Jealousy Sometimes Rests on Thin Foundation. 66 w KLL, well, so this is New Year's day, said Mr. Spoon or. "Do you remember how we quarreled this day one year ngo?" "Wcincmlicr! 1 think I do!" ired his wile. "Why, the cauls were ordered when it happened, and 1 didn't know whether I could have your name taken out and Dick's iii-erted, in case I rhang-d my mind." "In case 1 changed mine, you mean, dear. Strange that 1 never uu ctcd how much pieir Dora cured for me un'il t hut day." "I'm sure she had concealed it very well the wii) she ran utter Dirk, as if he ever had eyes for anybody but me! lie nevei told his love, but a woman's intuition was " "A i-yiionym of vanity, dear. Of course. I couldn't help knowii g that she cured for me when I met her in the boardirg hou.-e parlor, with her eyes full of tears, on ' :!ld W-ihSirP THUS DAY ONE YEAR AGO. the very morning after you had told Marie, her dearest friend, that we were to be mar ried in a month." "Humph, Unit girl would cry about any thing; I've known her to cry when the vil lain in the play was kl.lcd as if a villain could expect anything else in the last act. Hut as soon as 1 taw Dick that morning I knew that he knew it. Why, his necktie had i-iippcd around under oi.e ear ard his voice, n. he wished me a happy New Year, was so .-ail that 1 felt guilty, though my euu-cicuce told me thut 1 had not encour aged him." "You've forgotten how you used to praise the shape of his head." "As if that meant anything! A girl only praises the shape of a man's head when she cannot lind anything else to Hatter him about. It it means no more than it does when she tells a small man that he re sembles Napoleon. Hut when 1 remem bered that you had once gone down on the floor in your new trousers to pick up Dora's handkerchief 1 knew that I had been cruelly deceived. So when you reproached mo about Dick, 1". "I remember how badly I felt when she replied to my New Y'car's greeting w ith ths remark that luippincssj-for her was over for ever. And before I could comfort her Miss Marie came in and I could only go sadly away without telling her that I should al ways be a brother to her." "And poor Dick, I asked him if there was anything I could do for him; lie re plied: 'Yes,' but just then the maid came in with a note for him, and he said he must go at once 1 think he wished to be alone with his sorrow. Then you came in, and, instead of sharing my pity for him, you accused me of flirting with him!" "I cr don't remember that. Hut wasn't it odd that before I left you forevt. Miss Mario should come in and Utt s that Dora and Dick were engaged! I've often won dered how it happened that they decided to console eacX ether." "And so have I. Why, here is Marie now perhaps she can explain. Bit down, Marie, do. Tom and I are just going over old times. Do you remember last New Year's day, and " "Indeed I do. I've Just been to Bee Dora, and she was talking about it. She and Dick quarreled last New Year's Kve about the date of their inarriugo, and almost parted forever. They think you both must nave guessed it. I remember that Tom jra in the parlor with Dora when I ran. In on New Year's morning to teli her oT your engagement. She had been on the point of asking him to help her to make up with Dick. And when she told me about it, I wrote him a note telling him that I be lieved she would forgive him if he came at once. That note found him at your house, Irene, where he had gone to ask your aid as peacemaker. Odd, wasn't it?" KL ISA ARMSTRONG. Tronic. "I shall not see you till another year Has dawned," he said.
