Leave Troubles in Old Year. Wltbln mis week, the old year will have passed forever. What It has been In your experience, is a miniature of wbat your life bae been and will be. It Is simply a link, fasbioued as otber links In tbe chain of life. Wbat yon bave done and wbat yea bave lelt undone may differ from tbe records of previous years, but tbe motive behind It all, tbe actuating spirit, is usually tbe stme, only finding new outlets of expression or action. We sbould progress. We should build anew and better on the failures ol the past. , Every life is made up of light and shadow. Aa these are necessary in developing the camera Impression; so tbe real man, tbe mind, the heart, tbe soul, develops through successions of light and shadow, l'bese agencies are beyond tbe oontrol of tbe individual, bnt It is wltbln bis power to adapt blmaelf to tbe conditions Imposed; and here lies the secret of happiness. It Is a fact, long since established, that tbe effect of trouble Is not commensnrate with Its magnitude. Little troubles, like drops of water, wear away tbe soul; great troubles overflow tbe soul and pass with time. M&h can not keep trouble out of bts expehnt he can fortify against ita ravages by philosophically accepting what he conld | not have foreseen and conld not have pre -1 veuted. The real antidote lies in the consciousness that yon have not produced it bj yonr voluntary act. IX you have not thl* feeling about the troubles of the past, register it among yonr resolutions vlth the ringing in of the new year. It is no easy matter to break away from tbe past. "Past follies have present obligations and old sins have long shadows." We may slnoerely adopt tbe words: "sweet are the nse6 of adversity," only when by experiencing It, we learn to avoid responsibility for its repetition, and to bear . ? ?<h&t which cornea to us without \pauouwij provocation on oar part. If Id this spirit we enter on the dalles of tbe new year, the troobles of tbe old year will give plaoe to better things of tbe new, as tbe melting snows 01 . winter prepare tbe boII for tbe flowers of spring. Death of Mrs. W. E. Hiil. In October, 1907, Mlsa Belle Haddon, daughter of oar macb esteemed neighbor, Mr. R. M? i Haddon, because tbe bride ol Mr. Will E. Hill. On Deoember 22,1908, Sbe.becameltbe br'de of Death. And so It Is, that .she wbo was so much beloved .by all wbo kne# her will . -know (her no more.
