A Harry NEw YEAR.--Resder, from our
ssnctum; from our hearts depth, with kind
sst wish for your welfare, We wish you "a
happy New Year."
To you who are in sffiuence, around whose
6reside shine the warm glow Of domestic
sSmIort, and the halo Of home Joy, we wish
"s continuance multiplied into many year,
To you who stand shivering In the gale Of
sdversity, around whose aching heads sweep
hestosms Of the worlds trials, whose cheeks
are blanched with pale want. whose brow'
are deep plowsd with care. aud whose hearts
"Shrink and know no shelter" we pray God
lhsl the sHn Of the New Year which has ari- |
sen over the world may bring brighter pros
pscts than you had In the year just gone By.
The more kindly do we wish it to you
too, becauso none is there that knoweth but
We msy never DO so more; for when another
year comes round, you or we may lie be-
meath the cold marble, forever passed away.
In the meantime.
30 live that, when thy summons comes 10 joia
ne innunerable caravan that movos
To thAt my.terious realm where each shall take
HE chamber in the silent halls Of death,
Thou 70 not, like the quariy slave at night,
EeOurSed 70 his dunge on but SuGtaiD'd and socth'
~ an uRfaitering trust, approach thy grave
like one who wraps the drapery OIL couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
