THE NEW YEAR.
O'er the mountains wild comes a llttlo child ,
And all the untrodden ways
Are blooming bright 'ncath his steps of light.
And the valleys ring with his praise.
And the morning glints on his brow and tints
His check with its rosy rays.
His bright eyes beam and his tresses gleam-
Shot with the sunshine's darts
That mark his way through the gates of day
As the dying year departs ,
And the vacant throne is now his own.
And his kingdom is human hearts.
The songs ho sings and the joy ho brings
Are wonderful , sweet and rare.
And the future glows like a fragrant rose
'Neath the wand that ho waves in air.
And with kisses sweet , and with smiles , we
greet
The beautiful , glad New Year ,
And cover the head of the Old Year , dead ,
With a cold , cold shroud of snow.
Lif o is sweet , but time is fleet.
And the years must como and go >
The beautiful years , with their smiles and
tears ,
The years that wo all love eo.
Kisses and tears for its joys and its cares
The year whoso steps have passed
Into silence sweet , where no fall of feet
Is heard in the Dim and Vast.
o the Old his due ; but wo love the New
The sweetest rose is the last !

The Persian Bathes on New Year's.
On the 21st of March , according to
onr chronology , the Persians arouse
from their usual apathy and roam about
in glee. The men fall upon each other's
necks , kiss and caress each other and
vow eternal brotherly love. The Per
sian laborer and peddler , who ordinari
ly does not mind if his hands and feet
are of the hue of night , takes a bath and
has his hair cut , and if the sun is hot he
has his head shorn clear of hirsute
adornment. Balancing himself on the
ground by holding on to his toes , he de
livers himself over to the hair butcher ,
who is usually a tonsorial artist of no
mean development. Indeed it is said
that several of these public barbers have
become quite rich , notwithstanding that
they perform their hardest labor on this
great holiday.
A Martyr to the Cause.
Lady of the House Aren't you aware
that the custom of paying calls on New
Year's day has entirely gone out ?
Tramp I am , madam , but that does
not deter me. As long as there is a drop
of blood in my veins I am going o leave
no stone unturned to bring it back again.
