Tomorrow being New Year's day, the usual amount of good resolutions will be made in the morning, many of which will be broken before nfght, and all of them before a month. When you see Jones going around looking like his mother-in-law was coming to visit him, you may know that he has discarded his pipe. By noticing his face each morning you can tell when the unequal struggle is lost. Jones can quit any time, and as soon as he satisfies himself on this point by abstaining for from 24 to 48 hours, he knows that no habit can ever get the best of him, and so, feeling perfectly safe, he finds his pipe again. Smith has the same plan for rum. Rob inson is equally successful in quitting pool and staying out late, and so in turn tbe whirligig turns round, and we all pursue the even tenor of our sinful ways. As for us, gentle reader, we have but one really bad habit, and that is a han kering after a good cigar. We have no intention of swearing off, either, for we have tried it just enough to know that we can if we want to. No, sir, we don't intend to swear off until we see if we have to.

Our skies rival the blue of Italy's far-famed cerulean vault, and from the birth of winter, seh, till tbe beautiful month of May melts in the lap of gorgeous perfumed June, the fragrance of whose roses sweetens the breath of our nostrils till winter, those j skies look down on the Lone Star state and see just such weather as this." "As good as the far-famed weather of Florida, Mr. Hutcheson?" "As good, seh? Better, And what's more, we are not eternally talking about it, either. But then we don't live through the summers on fish and through the winter on Yankees."
