THE CLOSING YEAR.

What varied musings swell
On the full breast What varied scenes appear
To memory's eye, as brea,hes the closing year
Its Whispers Of farewell.
Such th0ugh,s, such scenes arise,
As bear deep lessons 10 the wsv'ring brain;
Fair dreams are chas,en'd by the leeg,hnine
train
OF dark realities
Yee-Peasnfe's gale has passed
Swift round us, fostering genie flowers,
That bloom not through the chilly winter hour.
Beneath affiio,ion's best.
Hut oh! This earth has no,
Delight TO lure us smidst its bowers 10 stay,
Her loyeiies, fruits spring up to face away,
Her joys--to be forget.
Der Times long pathway spread,
The sBares Of guilt her careless steps await
Affections cold, which beamI so warm of late,
And sweet hopes withered.
Yet when along our path
Temp,ation'sshsfts are pour d, in DARKEST woes
List We 20 Reasons roice-'sis Heaven bestoy S
Sorrows; but not in wrath.
From them, from then, we learn
How frsl, how nothingless are earthly joys;
And to high regions, where no worm destroys,
Our noblest hopes to turn.
