And you w 111 break tlio-n just tho sumo an you hnvp broken them lieforo. A resolution, pin tlcuhu ly a Now Year'j resolution, Is mi eph emeral olTorvescent, transitory thing. It Is generally iniido when one isHttlierli.g from tho animal attack of Indigestion and ennui which Invariiibly followH tho C'ln Minus festivities. Hotnetimcs it is binding for u iiinntli; but usually it becomes a dead letter in a couplo of weeks. Wo know that wo neod not bo careful of them as they como cheap and wo break them with Impunity, knowing tlmt wo can patch them up on a moment.' notice if necessary. Tliero Is no prettier custom than that of devoting a portion of tlm Hut du) of tho year to calling on and iocivlng one's Mentis. Now Yihiih calls wlU bu very common tills this year, tho indications pointing to a very gcucinl obei vuni'o of tho custom. A gleat many ladles will inako special ariangeineiits for tho leceptlon of callers and tho fair hex generally will li "at homo" during tho day. Tho air will lie sut charged with wishes for "ninny happy leturns ot tho day" and "the compliments of tho season" anil there Is a prospect of u very merry tlmo generally. Tin: Holiday Couhikh was issued Christ mas mot ulng and what a serumhle there war for copies lioth by tho public and newsboys The Hut lot bent to tho bindery was of two' thouMiud copies, but U-foro noon thoj-wero all gone mid brisk demand for moro has since iK'i'li'kept up, until now hut a few copies of tlio otlition nro left. It Is certainly gratify ing to tho publisher to noto tho nppicciatlon nhou ii for this work, Tlio public lias show ered kindest comments tion tho enterprise, while our brvthern of tho press have fairly loaded us down with kindly compliments. Kuril an issue of a western paper was never wen before.

That toast which Do Wolf Hopper Intro duces In tho third act of "Castles in tho Air" 1ms become very popular. It inns thus: "Hem's to a long life and a merry one; a quick death and an easy cue, a ti no girl and a pretty one; a cold bottle and another one." A young fellow ImiuiiiI for Lincoln from tho west had considerable sport with u trio of slmrpms a week or so sluco. He ill I them up to tho queen's tasto. The train stepped lorseveial niiiiuluM at a station not very tar from this clt and the oung man was stroichliig his legs on tho plat form "lien ho was approached by a stranger who grasp oil him coiillally by tho hand with a "I'm very glad to seo you Sir Knillh." The in tended victim tumbled at once, but heldeter mined to lmvo n little fun "My name is not Huiitli" hiiIiI he, "It's Thompson." The in truder excused himself and with hew . Pret ty soon unuthor "gentleman" came up with "How mo you, Mr. Thompson!" Our Irleud was ready. "I'm not Thompson; my name i Harilson." Tho steerer bogged pardon mid vanished. Hhortly attoiwanl a third man npproncl isl gieetlug tho young fellow asllmrlxnu. 'Mils time he mild his niimo was lloliinson; but lie wasn't Iwthoioil any more. When he Ihiully stepiMsl aboniil the train he noticed the three men cotnpming notes together ninl tho expression on their faces was not a happy one.
