RESOLUTIONS.

I will not breakfast in my bed
With downy cushions at my head;
That would be very wrong--and so

Nor buy another costly hat;
Oh no! I'm much too good for that.

And weed and cut and roll the lawn;
My border I will plant with veg,
Abundantly from hedge to hedge.

And all the day I'll practise thrift
And no more happily will drift
In deeper debt, as once, alas!
--But what an awful year I'll pass.
