THE OLD YEAR OUT IN THE
SNOW.
I.
New Year come an’ de trumpet blow—
Wake de country, high an’ low;
Po’ Ole Year, out dar in de snow,
Col’ is de way you gwine!
II.
Road is long an’ de win’ blow col’,
All er de sunshine lef’ yo’ soul;
No one now yo’ lmn’ ter hoi’
On de lonesome road you gwine!
III.
You been here wid de folks so long,
How come now dat dey treat you wrong!
Yo’ voice too weak fer de farewell song
On de col’, dark way you gwine!
IV.
Dat’s de way we all must go:
After de roses, de winter snow;
Night comes down an’ de fire burns low,
An ’ it’s “ Fare you well ferever 1 ’ ’
Says the Old Philosopher.
I’m not waiting for the New Year to
bring me Joy, but, holding hands with
Joy himself, I’ll meet him on the frosty
road and lead him to the bright lights
twinkling from the windows of Home.
Love is waiting at the door for him, and
children with the love-light in their eyes
will clap glad hands in welcome. And
here’s health to him, and wealth to him,
and never a gray grumbler to decline to
clink cups with him. And that reminds
me—there’s a 40-year-old vintage in the
cellar, and it’s worth a king’s while!
The Little Old Jug.
I.
Olo jug in do corner,—
Colonel mighty low;
Colonel say: “It’s New Year day—
I’ll hit dat jug once mo’!
I des can’t stan’ de col’ win’
W’en his min’ made up ter blow!
II.
“Ho come in thoo’ de winder-chink
An ’ loud de do ’ ho slam;
I sec him hit de steeple,
An’ fetch it down—ker blaam!
An’ my rheumatism tells mo
Dat I needin ’ of a dram! ’ ’
III.
Ole jug lef’ do corner,—
It’s him dat change de drought!
Ho set do country dancin’
F ’um fur off north ter south;
An’ looky at de Colonel
A-snmekin’ of his mouth!
"Be it Resolved.”
Riding on a water wagon is a cold prop
osition. Trouble long ago commanded
me to tako up my bed and walk.
In this glorious New Year if I catch
myself in the wilderness I’ll start a saw
mill and keep the saw a-singing.
High time now to take Time by the
forelock and to keep on the blind side
of Trouble six days and Sunday, and give
Care a holiday in the sunny lanes of
.Life.
The New Guest.
i.
Come in, Mister New Year! ill
Bring no blizzard-chills;
Though your bells are only
Ringing in the bills,
Still we meet you—greet you from the
valleys and the hills!
II.
Como in, Mister New Year,
Witli your shiny face—
Cheeks like Maytime roses
Where dimples love to race!
Enter now, and rest you at Life’s bright
fire-place.
III.
Welcome, merry traveler,
From the unknown lands;
Out there in tho shadow,
Your farewell-brother stands,
And heaven and earth are meeting and
holding happy hands!
—Frank L. Stanton.
If you wish to be miserable, think
about yourself—about what you want,
what you like, what respect people ought
to pay you; and then to you nothing
will be pure. You will spoil everything
you touch; you will make misery for
yourself out of everything which God
sends you; you will be as wretched as
you choose.—C. Kingsley.

very angry swear. ’ ’

Thousands of families are today crying
for food. There is plenty of food, but
these people are not able to get it, be
cause the capitalists refuse to give them
employment. Without employment they
cannot get the price to buy tho food. In
the warehouses and cold storages there is
sufficient food, and more, to feed the
hungry of this country. The capitalists
and trusts are storing this food and hold
ing it for a price that will give them
more profit. They care nothing for the
hunger of the poor. The poor will go to
the polls and vote for this to continue.
“What fools these mortals be! ”
It is thought a disgrace to love unre
quited. But the great will see that true
love cannot be unrequited. True lovo
transcends the unworthy object, and
dwells and broods on the eternal.—
Emerson.
Parting and forgetting. What faith
ful heart can do these! Our great
thoughts, our great affections, the truths
of our life, never leave us. Surely they
cannot separate from our consciousness,
shall follow it whithersoever it shall go,
and are of their nature divine and im
mortal.—TV. M. Thackeray.
