People are g Ily inclined to speak is favourably
ru they can of a departing year. This may strop'y
odes from a kindly extension of the principle,
' Nothing but good of the deed ;" bat it may also be
;rtly dm to (voting that the Old Year has carried
r7ifely on to its close moet of us who ere able to take •
rvtrospective view of it, winners' we know not whether
we can depend on its enoomor to treat us with equal
coadderation. At the prompt tier-, 1883 has almost
femme an integral part of our individual lives, and,
oe the principle that pleasure predominates over pain
mo 4 men's lives, there will, perhaps, be few of us
who have not pleasant reminimemes of our persoaal
lives during the closing twelvemonth—the more

Induce us to take of the expiring year, there can
badly be • quasar, that as regards humanity in the
aggregate, ani our own country Is particular, the
year 1883 has been an exceptionally calamitous
one. As for what may be riled the ordinary ran
of public accident, sui fatalities, they are inseparable
from human life; and it wouli seem as if they woe
only increees4 in number, variety, an I gravity by
the over-developing spollanoea of ca vilis Woo. In our
present at its of exi,tenoe we escape or minimise savoy
of the perils which beset human life among our rule'
ancestors, and in the aggregate we thrive and multiply
as people could not do in a savage or even barbarous
state. In numeric 3 proportion to population, probably

present condition of existence, with its sub-division of
labour, and with its wholesale methods of prods.-

when they do come, should often occur on a

Von, sad which for the moment makes us doubt the

does not appear so ve.; Intolerable at the year's end.
We have had or- share of such firmly? visitations
during the year 1883, as have other stringed nations;

that we speak of the year as an exoeptionally
calamitous one. Over and above them dissolve.s of
ordinery teime, we have had not • few of an ertra-

unprovoked and uninvited by man, have produoed

therefore, ISO has been so marked and marred by

yet we are so much the creatorel of awociation, and
the least imaginative amongst us are so far under the

some ;serious feelings. The change la, at any rate,
an invitation to roe-anon upon the past and to
foraca_t ' the future. It is weU if the refleotioa la

be granted! With the old yew we may at

of some of Our worries, aced careen—for iii.

abandon mugs and possibly lighten our burden by
throwing overboard some of one ambitions. And if

But most netiona have either burned or buried their

wail to burn the b aly and peewee the Babes in urns,
which were then placed in a sepulchre.
A. with us, there were family sepulchres, where
the ashes of many gemination@ reposed side by side.
Such a sepulchre was celled a oolootharium, or In
the Oars', columbines. We find them above ground,
underground, out out of the rook, or built of tusitoory.

Just out of this columberium, there imam some dark

the volcanic rook out of which old Rome herself was
hewn. These dare holes are probably the graves re

In 1871, five columbatria were discovered, with
several livereting monumeata, and urns oontainiug

inside each there is a little handful of ashes gathered
from the funeral-pyre. To this fashion came the
