A reflective verse piece laments old vows and lax duty as the speaker contemplates resolutions. The speaker, signing as Minude DeVerse Newton, mulls starting anew while acknowledging time tests sincerity and the pull of pleasure, fashion, and social constraints.
A list of cautions and maxims advising readers not to tempt fate, snooze through life, overspend, rush into marriage, ignore sound advice, rely on luck, buy friends, envy others, greet misfortune lightly, trust appearances, or neglect a guiding goal. It cites common sense aphorisms from Lippincott’s and urges clear aims, preparedness, and self-made friendships.
The sole record of New Year observance by Pilgrims in New England is brief: “We went to work the times.” Puritan ministers frowned on any notice of the day as improper. English settlers, from Christmas to New Year, marked the eve with singing Wren traditions in many counties.
A reflective passage imagines a fresh day rising from night offering calm and renewal. It urges not to hurry nor delay, to face dawn and let soft light wash away darkness, guiding hearts toward kindness and quiet gladness as the world greets a new day.
The Old Year dies and the New Year comes of age prompting a grand feast for all 365 days invited by the Festivities led by Christmas Day and New Year. Hours carrier pageants summon guests while Fasting Day and Shrove Tuesday shift quarters.
A rural exchange shows a man joking about last year’s resolutions and admitting many were never used while a lady comments on hopeful new aims. The light dialogue captures everyday humor and character.
A stylized excerpt of Alfred Lord Tennyson-esque verse urging farewell to the old year. It calls for ringing out false pride, strife, and greed while ringing in truth, peace, and a Christlike future, celebrating renewal and charitable spirit.
The article notes England keeps New Year with bell ringing and limited festivity, contrasting past feasts and revelry with present restraint. In Denmark cannon salutes greet the new year, while rural celebrants fire muskets at farmhouses, a rough custom viewed as old fashioned and rude.
A 1910s voice urges kindness and optimism as a daily practice. The piece vows to find the good in others, carry sunshine into dark places, and aim to make someone happy each day.
Newell Dwight Hullia urges readers to shed transgression and cleanse garments as they approach the future, invoking antiquity and aspiration to mark a new year. The message contrasts old rituals with personal renewal and sets a forward-looking tone.
In a family tale of Lemuel and Mehitable Pierce, Lemuel, a mild man, marries into a sharp, controlling household. The wife polices his life, yet on New Year’s Day he reveals his ruse: his resolution is to admit he made none at all.
