That is if he gambol* in modera

fluid exlriiots about this time of the
year doitf leave pleasant memories
behind, and Ihe jaior fellow with the
jumpin hendadie and strut!in eye-
hulls, and his alonmek all turned into
an ipoknk factory feels just like old
Hip Van Winkle when lie sword off

in fat turkeys arid mince pies and
lemon pfrrnml plum pnddin and the
like, and if we cant have em we can
comfort ourselves with the memory
of em in days of old lung sync. Kv-
cry dog must have his day, and when
a body get s old and poor there’s some
witLfaetion in rcenllin what he used
to was and savin “I’ve seen I he day”
or “if / could call hack twenty years.”
Hut we cant call em hack, for if we
do t hey wont cope. “The mill will

The «>|d Norwegian brought such
ugly woollier along with him this
time that ill! we can do is to sit by
the fire and ruminate and keep the
children from Ioann the house to
pieces.
What with the new dolls and harps
and tin horns and picture hooks and

lunatic asylum as to ho penned up

always did seem to me that ours was
the noisiest , liveliest and most rest
less set that ever slumped a toe or
fell ill the brunch. They went
through the measles and whoopin
cough and chicken pox, and I dont
know how many more things, with
out sloppiu to seo what was the
matter. A long titmvogo it was mv
opinion that 1 could regulate em and
raise em up aeeordin to science, hut
1 didn’t AM that amount of oo-oper-
ution which was necessary to make a
fair experiment. On the contrary.
I found myself regulated, besides
b-ing frequently reminded hv their
maternal ancestor that the children
were hern, and to this day she always
speaks of cun as “my chi Id rot)!”
Well, that’s a fact; her title is mighty
good loom 1 know, and on rollootion

Well, the old year has buried its
dead, and brought forth its living to
take their places. O'Leary has got
through the legger-domoin and the
country is safe. The press is vofv
kind in keeping us posted about such
important, tilings. And now the
time is at hand when everybody is
going to open a new set of books, and
turn over a new leaf, and pass a few
resolutions to be kept about three
weeks. Tltjft’s all right . Keep em
as long as yon can, but dont repent
of this year’s sins too much at once.
Dont git too much religion at a revi
val, for by and by the snow will be
gone, itml the spring will open and
the birds begin to sing and the How

make liim forget the winter and hi

its all right, judge, all right. If a
