THE PAST YEAR.

I'll, a-eaiIy wise to talk with past hours,
Ard m.k them what report they bore To heaven,
Aud how they might have borne more welcome news
ioUEG.
The year 1889, is now closed. 1t is natu.
raj for man tn look with bright antlcipatlons.
upon the future To forget the past, with all
its Joys and sorrows, and eagerly to grasp the
too often deluslve promise Of future good.
Man never is, 3ut always De blcst.
IL certainly cannot be inappropriate, at the
close of the year, to moralize upon the past
TO review the scenes in which we have been
engaged, and ask ourselves the question
whether we have made suitable Improvement
of all the lessons Of wisdom which Time may
have taught u, aud whsther we are, in fact,
any better or wiser than we were, when we
entered upon the duties OF the year that IL
past. As moral beings, we are never exact
jy stationary. We are either making pro-
Qress in virtue or in vice. Our moral princI-
ples are either strengthened or weakened, IN
consequence Of the opportunities we have
improved or sighted. Wonld It not be well
for us to ask ourselves the question, whether
the admonlilons Of conscience are now more
tenderly regarded, or cruelty shghted, than
they were one year ago. Does conscious
ness of doing wrong greve US more or less
than 1t did, IN time past Are our affections
rs pure, onr pleasures as innocent, and our
desires rs reasonable as they were before we
entangled ourselves in the commerce of the
world, and made ourselves acquainted with
its arts, its alluremcnts, and its pleasures p
Happy will it b. for us, II upon such re-
view. we can perceive that our moral princi.
pies have been taking deeper and deeper
root, that our sense of duty is liveler, and
our regard TO the whspcrings of conscience
keener than they were when we were youn
ger, and COR knowledge Of the world les,
perfect lhnn ut present. Alas such know
ledge is too apt TO produce directly oppo
site cifrci. Too bitterly have men learned
that
The tree ofknowlcdgs Is not that OF life.
We have been often told Of the shortncs
of time. The uncertainty Of life, the transi

To natures morning hour,

That tells ere dawn Of morrow,
These charms may melt away;
That suns bright beam he shaded,
That sky he blue no more,
The simmer flowers be faded,
And youths warm promise o'cr.
Believe IL not; though lonely
Thy evening-home may to,
Though beauty's bark can only
Float on nsulnmer sea;
Though time thy bloom is stealing,
There's still beyond bis art,
The wild flower wreath Of feeling
The sunbeam OF tho heart.

You will observe, sir, tina, more than two
thirds of the democrats in both branches Of the
national legislature voted in favor Of the bank,
and almost two thirds of the federal party vOt-
ed against il. And yet, so sublimsied and so
pure is the Van Buren, democracy OF the pres.
ent day, that no man can bc acknowledged an
orthodox democrat who Is In favor Of the es-
adjustment Of a Bank of the United Statcs.-
This strange anomaly, however, is readily
solveI, when we bear in mind that the demo-
Gratis in Congress IN 1916 were the same dem
ocrats who, with Madison and Harrison, had
carried through a bloody but successful war
against the British and Indians while the pre-
sent leaders of the Van Buren, party are the
same identical men whose sympathies nj that
~eventful period were lavished on the enemy.
Another gentleman, in his definition Of this
singularly p~uzzling wor1"demQcraey," was al
most as learned and pcrspicuous as was Bar
dolph in his notable explanation OF The term

word most perspicuouslv defined in a c~olloqui-
um between Barlolph and Justice Shallow in
