THE CLOSING YEAR.
The knell Of time is heard! Another year.
With many hope and smile and many a tear,
Is buried with the past! I've tried to place
My thoughts upon its history; but who may trace
Its many changes? | am ever met
With hearts ali broken and with eyes still wet!
1t was year of sorrow, tears and pain;
The poisonous dew of death was showered as rain;
The dearest friends were doomed no more to meet;
And many noble heart has ceased to beat.
Above our Polk the angels pinions rushed
The StatcsQa counsel was forever hushed:
The words OF VI oRTH-the fire that lit his eye,
Must feel the blight. And BRoUGHmu likewise dles
But why pursue! O, DEATH thy cruel dart!
Has stilld forever MANY noble heart,
And this has been year of blood and strife
A strife for liberty. a war for rtght;
And when think how many precious lie
Has ward in vain against superior might
And prematurely felt the tyrants' blight
And then remember that their cause was just
| look with tears upon the sickening sight;
Yet in my God place unwaverlng trust.
Thattvrants and their power will crumble to the dust
Yes that good time shall come when Europe slaves
Shall be unchained-the bloody price be paid
And all her pampered, ironheared knaves
Be with the things that were. The trusty blade.
Shall then be sheathed, the strife shall be ailayed,
And peace at length shall reign But who may tell,
Ere that, the desolate heahs, the hearts dsmayed!
Yet God is uiih M oppressed Soon will tine knel!
Oftyrants power proclaim to Europe, ALL Is. WELL!
And thou, my country!-anxous eyes are cast
To thee, the guardian Of the brave and good
The Asylum for tn oppresscdl-a nation vast
And wond rous in its power! And thou hast stood
The bolts oftyrants!-yet thy sons nor would
Nor did bow down to kings! Thou canst proclaim
An independence over presty hood
And kingly power; and there is in thy aim
Unylelding love OF RIGHT, hatle thee on TO fame

THE OPENING YEAR
HAIL EIGHTEEN HUNDRED FIFTY! May
1t be to memory dear!
And may it have no gloomy day,
Nor bring bitter tear!
And all unmixed with base alloy,
may it be year of joy!
And may it witness changes, too:
The oppressed of Rome set free;
BEN, KossUTH and the noble few
That would not bend the knee
To iron-hearted masters, stand
Forever freed, in their own land
And may it witness the return
Of Thousands from the mines,
That we may see, and hear, and learn
About the dust that Shines!
And seek, perhaps, Pacifc's strand
To fill our pockets avith the sand!
And may it prove that "Od Monroe
Is never to be aiicpd;
"Marr.aga Notice" is mo go''
Without 1.-THE cake" aceH spiced;
And the one who will not "give
The devil his due" o&gA!n.t TO be
aUo,oed to uoLe--Hor Hue.
we'll remember (who. ask, can stihe
The recollection of important timesD
The neighbor sowing me little trihe,"
Last January, for some harmless rhymes,
Remarked that he would gladly giue quarter,
But that he lost his cash by going bull:
He then was worth ten thousand--nothin' shorter,
And now he scarcely can escape the Jail
And remember, too. that other neighbor,
Who kindly passed me what was justly due:
For bread and board he thrn was forced to labor,
Yet nov counts thousands as the richest Jew.
And thus you ever see righteous action
Is smiled on kindly by the God of all;
Yet wrong your ncighbor to the smallest fraction,
And just as surely you are doomed to fall.
