For the Port Tobacco Times

For the Port Tobacco Times.
Mr.. EDITOR: The Old Year has already become
gray with age. Shortly, 'the keepers of the house
shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow them
selves" Then he shall take his exit from earth,
never to return again; but bearing with him an
exact account of all that has been thought, said
and done during his short soourn upon earth But
we shall see him again-we shall see him at the
general Judgment And he will be an important
witness for or against u.s. ssFor God shall bring
erery acork into Judgment with erery secret thing
whether it be good, or whether it be eriI." Hence,
will hail his temperance with pleasure and
delight Others with dread and CONSERVATION. The
former because the records which he shall present
pentence and faith i'll Christ, have cancelled their
guilt, and blotted out the 'hand writing that
against them. The latter because those records
will be against them; or, if not, because the accu-
mulated sins of other years will outweigh them,
that their Righteousness shall not be remembered"
But am not about to write homily upon the Old
Year, and the important results which shall flow
thererom hereafter: my object is to introduce the
year which is almost gone-written, too, at the
earnest request of one of EYES fair daughters. If,
therefore, this effort contains any thing worthy of
approval, you must say So much for the ladies'! If
not galantry will suggest the proprety of charging
it to your friend, The AUTHOR.

THE OLD YEAR-1S47.

My Muse, the fair demands song
Upon the Old Year, almost gone.
My heart inspire,
Attune my Tyre,
And make sweet music flow along.
The Old Year! who can paint aim true!
Of every form, and shape and hue!
So good and bad,
So gay and sad;
Both rice and virtue are his due.
/ saw him in his youth, when Spring
From genial climes her wealth did bring,
10 deck the ground
..- With flowers around, j."
And throug h the air rich fragrance fling.
/ saw him too when Summers heat
Down on the earth intensely beat,
Exsuding sweat
From those who get,
By constant toll, their bread and meat.
I saw when kind Autumn came,
With all her wealth of fruit and grain
pompous store
For rich and poor
And yet some murmur and complain!
And thousands beg for bread IN cain!
And starue and die! o burning shame!
= see him now, while Winter Old
Comes on apace with ice and cod
With head all white,
Decay and blight,
Which seems to say, My tale is told
I've seen him thus in every stage,
From youth to manhood, and old age:
He is tot me
A mystery;
as simple wise; a fool! a sage!
know his character and birth,
His natural power and moral worth
~ He's weak and strong;
Is right and wrong;
Is full of pleasure, pain, and mirth.
So Il.-Hs operations as exhibited in .Nature.]
Eve seen his youthful sport and glee,
And heard him sing SO merriy,
You'd think the lad
Had never had
One moment of adversely.
Hark! notes all-various, charm the ear;
Notes high and low, loud, plaintive, clear,
Notes slow and mild,
Harsh, quick, and wild, -.
FlDrate upon the eaSuc air.
And then he comes in other forms,-
In clouds and tempests, winds and storms,
Leveling the oak
At one fell stroke,
As some huge mammoth up in arms.
In torrents. then, he sweeps amain,
Down fertile slopes, and DER the plain,
Expanding wide
e @ FL In wastetul pride,
. Robbing the earth of soil and grain. 30 .,.
And when to manhood he arrives, 81, ,@'"t..
He shakes the earth and rends the skies
With the lightning flash,
And the thunder's crash ..-
While Nature seems in agonies.
But see! anon the tempest flies,
And earth is cheered 18th brighter skies;
.s.ar t.. While zephyrs calm, .r i.
~, ..... From groves of balm, i .. H..
Ladened with odors sweet, arise.
