little boys and girls to send by not
allowing the larger ones to impose

I "IHIO."
Oopjrtgbted tj Dw k ttber.1,
A Happy New Year to you,
Boys. If it isn't it ought to be. An
unhappy boy is like a chicken that
lays no eggs. If you are not happy,
just look within to see what is
wrong. The fault must be there;
for you have no cares, no auxieties,
no regrets. What privileges you
have to make you happy I A home
with all its comforts, leisure for
sport, holidays and merry-makings.
Even your school is made attractive,
aud learning easy. Ask your fath
ers how lessons were thrashed into
them, how hard and monotonous
were their schooldays, and then con
trast your own advantages. How
grand too is your health 1 You can
not even realize the sadness and
gloom of the sick room, the weari
ness of the dyspeptic, the hopeless
ness of the invalid. Your toothache
and your headache come from your
own folly or carelessness, and you
have only to deny yourself in camly
and pastry for a few days and you
will be well as ever.
A Happv New Year to you, Girls
and Maidens. You and the boys
have equal rights to happiness ; but
remember yours are " woman s
rights." I hope you will be strong
supporters of woman's rights, and
the equality of man and woman. But
do not forget that equality does not
necessarily imply identity. You
have the right to learn all that the
boys learn at school, to exercise your
bodies as they exercise theirs, to
travel, and observe, and work, and
rest as they da But, though you
do all these things, do them as wo
men, lest forgetting the distinction
Nature herself has made, you gain
more than your rights and lose all
your privileges.
So, may this year be happy for
you; happy because you realize that
vou are women, and that, like the
skilful general, you may win mu
many a fight in which Jyou handle
neither sword nor gun. ,
A Fruitful New Year to All
.Youths. You are Fortune's favo
rites. On you she showers her
choicest gifts. : You have the heart
of child and the will of a - man.
Days full of innocent happiness are
behind you. Myriad pleasures open
around you. Golden visions lie be
fofs you.; ' Hope rests upon your
h loveisinyouryes; coaraje

in your breast the world is at your
feet,' and, for, you there itretchea now
an opening centurv.
So, may this year be happy toyou.
Happy, because your eyes are clear
to recognize your many gifts ; happy
that passion does not weaken your
heart, nor affliction hold you back
from high emprise ; happy in your
rich inheritance of life, and in the
wisdom not to waste its glorious
fullness. '
v . -
A Prosperous New Year to you,
Fathers. You have thought your
individuality worth perpetuating,
and have won au attribute whose
uame belongs to God himself. You
are an autocrat. Whistful eyes watch
your every look and word, and eager
minds strive to mould themselves on
your cliaractcr. You have provided
for yourself an earthly immortality,
a second self to take up your ambi
tion and carry on your works of
good or evil.
So, may this year be happy to
you, happy, because you have had
corn-age to undertake responsibility,
and confidence in your worth and in
your good intentions. ,
'
A Bright New Year to you,
Mothers. Consciously or uncon
sciously, you have made the great
sacrifice. You have risked pain,
sorrow, anxiety and death itself, iu
the sacred hope of a Hebrew mother,
that to you may fall the honor of
bringing into the world some prince
of peace. That sacrifice was a de
dication. You are a priestess for
ever. So, may this year be happy to you ;
happy iu the knowledge of your
high calling ; liappy in the discharge
of its holy duties ; happy in the hope
that your constant care may furnish
to the world a being worthy to hand
on the torch of lofty deeds ; happy
in the thought that you have forged
another link in the chain of love,
whose clasp is held by God.
a
A Happy New Year to you, In
valids. Does happiuess seem a
mockery, and my very wish almost
an unkindneas? Nay, I know it is
not so; for the same power that per
mitted the demon Pain to work his
will with you, chained him to the
angel Patience, and you will be
happy la her tender councils. ' For
she whispers to you that all is not in
y4n y that souls hungering, to do
good deeds love to (minister to you,
and, that from your agony are borne
tjto the world pure sell-denial and
sweet compassion. Hay, then, the

breath of sympathy so stir, for . you,
during this year, the sullen waters
of affliction, that they break into the
laughter of a summer stream.'
A Tranquil New Year to you,
Aged ones. . You have anchored in
the harbor, and only wait the mast
er's eall to land. Meanwhile the
waters-are calm around you. The
anxious captain, and the busy sailors
sleep, the weary helmsman stretches
his strained limbs. You can watch
the changing sea beyond, smile at its
sunny stillness, send warnings of
storms, and counsel the strife where
in your past is done. Your fellow
veterans ere moored beside, and
cheer you with their brave familiar
shapes. Together you live again in
tender thought the varied voyage,
together hail the new-trimmed craft
that pass outward on someuufiinish
ed guest, rejoicing that they may
gain fresh courage by seeing you
safe sheltered after storm, and shoal,
and strile.
