 A SONG FOR NEW YEARS EVE.
 BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT. Stay yet. my friends. moment stay Stay till the good old year, So long companion of our way. Shakes hands and leaves us hear.
 Oh stay, oh stay, One little hour and then away. The year. whose hopes were high and strong, Has now no hopes to wake; Yet one hour more of jest and song s For his familiar sake.
 Oh stay, oh stay, One mirthful hour, and then away. The kindly year his liberal hands Have 1ayished all his store, Ane shall we turn from where he stands, Because he gives no more? E Oh stay, oh stay, One grateful hour, and then away. Days brightly came and calmly went, While yet he was our guest; How cheerfully the week was spent How sweet the Seventh days restl
 Oh stay, oh stay, One good hour more, and then away. Dear friends are with us-some who sleep Beneath the coffin lid What pleasant memories we keep Of all they said and did
 Oh stay, oh stay, One tender hour. and then away. Even while we sing he smiles his last And leaves our sphere behind The good old year is with the past Oh be the new as kind
 Oh stay. oh stay, One parting strain, and then away

THE SINGING HEAnT.-That was blessed work of the ancient patriarch-he ''made the widows heart sing for joy!' What a song of bliss was that! Its with vibrations of ecstacy.
 Jobs are still living and widows hearts yet sing for joy. q did not expect Thanksgiving present." said one of these needy ones to us but had one
 barrel of appes barrel of potatoes, bag of meal with etceteras of eatables How rich felt to have 50 much at time! cooked them without condi- ments, and cannot tell you how much the children and do enjoy them How generous these friends are!-they have made me glad and thankful. These things come. as do my other blessings, when most need them. recognize in this the hand of God. As it ismore blessed to give than to receive the gvers of these things must be unspeakably happy. In any case am exceedingly glad. God bless these cousins ?'
 Sing on, glad heart! These cousins! Ay, God does bless them. They are constantly blessed. No wonder their barns filled, and they have nights of sweet sleep for the blessing of those ready to perish come upon them and the spirits of their good deeds watch all night by their bedside Read CT according to thy means, go and do thou like wise Awake in the widows heart this song of glad ness. And the orphans-oh, let them not feel the bangs of hunger without means of relief, while you have loaf in your pantry, or dime in your purse. Inasmuch ye do it unto of the least of these ye do it unto Christ. If you would make your own heartbeats joyous, and have music in your soul-if you would be specially bleised make the hearts of the widow and the orphan sing for joy.-L1e Illus.
