TIE CARRIERS
NEW YEARS ADDRESS
TO THE PATRONS OF
The EGgeftfd .FtiCertiser.
JANUA.Y lsr. 1910.

The Carrier Boy again appears,
TO bid nis gen'rous patrons Hail;
And hopes that many happy years
May roll around, ere they shall fail
To take delight in the neat sheet he brings,
That treats Of useful, interesting things.
Though fell disease his weisLly hand,
Upon sister city lay;
We have cscap'd by high command
To hail another New-Years Day:
Long mLy 1t be, ere she shall mourn again,
Such scenes OF woe, such agonizing pain.
Another year finds us in peace,
And plenty smiles Oh every hand;
May bounleous heaven never cease,
10 shower his blessings OH our land,
And X ep III free from ali domestic coils
From wars without and sanguinary broils.
In flncy's view our country stands,
The pole star 10 the Eastern world;
Tie guide to dark benighted lands.
How freedoms fag may be unlnrl'd:
May they ere long tie glorious beacon SPY,
Till Liberty Shall spread from sky to sky.
Until the brilliant suns blown out
The silver moon in blood is dyed,
May freedoms fair and sacred route;
Extend DER every land and tide;
And special dwell where first her footsteps rod
And make our land her flvorite abode.
Still bear thy sway, flag Of our home,
Der all the earth thy stars display;
Be thou sign to gaze upon,
With love- and pride, and ecstacy,
Till every honest heart be full as free
As those DER whom thou wav st SO brilliantly.
Our youths with noble ardor burn,
When mars'iall'd meath thy stripes & stars
And may all tyrants quickly learn,
And justly dread the vengelul wars,
1l,atwill ere long be waged in freedoms cause
Till all have equal rights aud equal laws.
A world combined may rage in vain,
Ifscience fair and Freedoms jon'd;
Intrepid virtue will maintain
The cause Of liberty and mind,
Till other cli,ncs and other lands be bessd
As we are now, no more to be Oppressed.
Our maidens, nonc more fair than they,
Who fill us off with loves alarms
Around their rosy cheeks there play,
A thousand smiles Il thousand charms:
Ye youths, with speed, fuIflki heav ms behest
Secure bride aud be forever bless'd.

GODS PRESENCE.

The thought that God is ever about us, makes
this world serious world, and should lead US
ever to walk through it with serious steps.
Ii should indeed increase on. cheeriulness,
and sweeten our cnjoymens, TO think that our
Father is beside u.s. But it should also fill us
with holy jealousy Of ourselves, and with
anxious watchiulness against every thing,
whether in spirit or conduc,, which may be dis
pleasing 10 Him. An ancient philosopher adj
vised the magistrate, as a restr int To the wick
ed, to write at the corner Of every street, "God
sresthe o sinner" But to US who believe in the
divine omnlprescncc. that inscription, Sod
sees the" is not only in every street, but upon
every object, above. around, within and be-
meath us.
If we would but open our hearts Ia the re-
ccption If this solemn and all important truth,
every thing would proclaim it to ms. Every
thing would echo to US the presence OF that
God,
"Who gives its lus're TO the insects wing.
And wheels his throne upon the rolling
worlds"
We might see il in our existence and enjoy
ments-in the revolving year and the changing
seasons We might read it In the stars-the
alphabet of heaven, in which he has stereotyp-
ell his own glory, and In the planets which are
rolled by his hand through trackless space.
We mgl,, hear il in the ihun1er's voice, and
see it cleaning in the lighting's fash. Every
insect would sing TO our cars of the hand that
sustains II: Every breeze would uiurnnr o
his presence. Every leaf would whisper
| .God is here" And ifthe imaginary presenc.
of some great and gooum coi,i'' fss,t~'-. i...
! propriety and prompt to nobleness OF conduct
4 on the part of pagan, then surely the known
presence ofthe hcart-sc irching God. the great
est and best of all beings, should make Vi
wa,chful of all our actions, should cheek tn
very first risings of folly and sin, should give
purity to our motives, and humility to our hearts
and holiness to our lives; should lead us eve
TO live as under Jehovah's eye, in such man
ner as to secure his appreciation. n. Y. Oh

smoke was seen slowly ascending from the tall
