NEW YEARS EVE.
"rHs TOLLS rwELyE.n
All harkl while from the bIazen mouth
Of yondcr stecplcs olden bell;
What solemn tones more ring forth
Tho tale OF vanish'd time TO tell:
iark how thcy fall upoi the year,
Like death dirgc OF the parting year.
Alas my isiends, that mourniul strain,
Tells us another year has flown
To join tho dark, iuncrcal train
OF days-ond years--and ages gone
OF years that once were young and gay,
OF ages lost ,-and passed away.
Then brethren, meet this night,
Where friendships smile each bosom cheers,
Oh lotus turn our saddcn'd sight
To the dim host of other years,
And think with sober, serious thought,
On all the good aud i'll they brought.
And with fearful eve we view,
Their dusky band, Wen call TO mind
The friends that wcrc--thc tried, the true
The noblc--generous and kind;
Friends that no ills could ere cstrnnge,
True hearts that death alone could change
Alas how many, ore by one,
Bright hearts that used TO minglo here,
To their dim, shadowy homes have gone,
Since last we wcpt the parting years
How many then bcaming bright,
Lies darkling in the grave this night
Aud soon again Old Time shall bring,
To her last hour tho coming year;
And hearts as sad as shull sing,
Their wall DER some now minglmg here's
And hearts, pcrehance, now beating high,
In the dark tomb shall moud'fing lie.
But oh! my friends, why starts the tear.
Why hcavcs the sigh these thoughts To trace;
Tile honest, upright heart need fear
No terror from deaths cold embrace.
For all the good, and Kind and rise,
Immortal, from the tomb shall rise.
