ISeyerieS.

By WILL TucUGnTLESS.
Who thinks ut merry Christmas time
There may be sad hearts near,
From whom the jest and sparkling rhyme
But force the silent tear!
Who dreams that at the festive board,
Where ull seems glad and gay,
There may be one whose inmost soul
Scars from the scene away?
Above the earth our Saviour trod
Home to its place OF birth,
And sees before the throne of God
The saint it lost on earth?
Or who at twilight's happy hour
When day and noise depart,
When maidens own Loves holy power,
And heart speaks unto heart;
Who knows but he who sits apart
Watching the shadows glide.

The Old Year.
DY HARRY HOPE.
The good Old Year is gone, !.
Twill never more return,
'Tis buried in the past,
And mem'ry is its urn.
The vigil of the dead,
I keep with many tear,
And chaunt, with midnight winds,
The dirgc Of the Old Year!
The dear Old Year that's gone,
Had love, and life, and light;
Had zephyrs for each day,
And stars for ev'ry night.
Its summer was dream,
Of visions sweet and clear,
And hope was but name,
For th' winter of the Year.
The kind Old Year that's gone,
Its luxuries diffus'd,
Free, full on NE and mine,
Yet I its grace sbus'd.
For sunshine and for tiow'rs,
For all that life eadears,
burthen'd with my faults,
The best Old Year of years.
The homes: Old Years gone,
Beyond world Of strife.
Its spirits is with God,
To read the scrolls Of life.
May mercy blot the faults,
With forgiving tear,
That we may never blush,
To meet the good Old Year.

1t was Christmas night in the crowded city.
Every street igas in blaze of illumination.
Fire.crackers were snapping-tar-barrels were
blazing rockets were looming up on the face
of night, and snakes were vending their tor
tuos forms through the air. 1t was bonnie
night-for Christmas never seems like Christ
mas unless it SHOWS. The snow was re,y
deep,--so the urchins said, and truly the
streets seemed covered with beautiful white
carpet, which glistcnei with preternatural
brightness in the soft moonlight.
Christmas with the rich! Princely halls
blazed with the light of chandoiers-fairy-like
feet moved lightly over slken carpets in the
merry mazes of the dancc-noods of melody
rang on the air-rich tables were spread as
for feast-costly wines sparkled in costly
glasses, or lent their radiance to cheeks as
rosy-bright eyes were glancing-happy hearts
were beating, and occasionally a clear silvery
voice rang out, Merry Christmas!!'
Christmas for the children! Little eyes
were big with wonder and delight-tiny feet
danced aroand the Christmas tree with its
load OF handsome treasures-little hearts
leaped with Joy, and jubilant voices on every
KEY screamed out "Merry Christmas!''

has closed. Some pale mother counts the
stockings in the chimney-and misses one--a
tiny sock, that will nevermore have a wearer
"a sock that covered q foot which will walk
no more on earth And she listens for voice

wonders if Christmas will bring happiness to

Yet the jovial crowd out of doors think not
Of the mournful parts in the life-drama. Even

Eustace Walcot, fresh from his European
travels, and filled with the memories Of other
lands, felt his soul swell with happiness as he
emerged from his elegant bachelor apart
ments, and became part Of the moving
throng. This was Aome-these were aotiee
sounds, and the heart of the returned wander
er swelled with rapture as he repeated,
"Therc is no place like my own homc.'
Yet, his was not nature to be glad long.
Elegant, wealthy, highly educated On accom-.
plished scholar and gcntleman-the pet Of So
ciety, and the idol Of his Notwithstanding
of what the world calls trouble had ever fall

creates its own troubles and indescTibable fits
of melancholy come over the sensitive, which
Il coarser organization could never feel. And
as lie gazed on the scene he reflected: In
the great Heart of Humanity how many chords
are this night wailing forth dirge-how ma
ny strings there are which can awaken to
joyance no more
He moved part from the rest-his small
sympathy in their e1uberant jolity having

frequented streets.

Cora felt strange pang at his ready ac-
quiescence-he would be introduced-what
would follow2
The morning dawned clear and cloudless,
and at the appointed hour Eustace and his
friend sought the Hotel Of Florence De Vere.
They found her in her private parlor prac-
ticing several new pieces Of music. She re-
ceived them with quiet curiialiiy, but with
timidity Eustace had not imagined Of one
in her position.
Her floating curls were pushed back impa-
tieptly, but she looked US lovely IN the dark
colored, neatly-iilting morning dress rs in the
costly array of the stage. Her beauty needed
not the trappings Of art-it Was given by ma
ture and nuture alone.
She entered into light jestiEg conyersa-
tion with Fitzroy, and Eustace sat, listener
more than once repeating to himself,
Gloriously beautiful, but frivolous"
But whel. he conversed with her himself
her whole couateuance underwent change.
He spoke OF music; dwelt on her glorious
calling, and her whole soal seemed to breathe
from her features be wondered he had ever
thought her frivolous; and this limc his soul
said, 7" AS intellectual US she is beautiful
He asked her to sing, and once more the
whole world was forgotten in that one voice
of surprising sweetness.
When tie song was ended, and her small
fingers were playing idly among the Piano
keys, he bent over her, aud said in low voice;

surprise.

"Feel so no more-you have found a

His words, simple though they were, sent
quick thrill through her heart-a feeling
which the ewes betrayed.
