IHE DYING YEAR.

The year is dying, the sad old year,
does down to its sleep at last;
Its cheek is wet with falling tear,
And its life is forever past;
Its locks are gray, and its trembling hands
Are folded upon its breast;
And Time like giant i'll mourning stands,
To bearit away to rest.
Alas for the year, the sad old year,
That came in so hearty and hale!-
Twill be shroudsd soon for 81 ent bier,
For repose in the shadows pale.
1t dawned upon us in radiant light,
With promise of SO much good
But closes its eyes in a weary night,
And its bosom is tipged with blood.
Alas! for the year, the sad old year,
1t goes to its grave with weeping!
The Local news. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1861-1862, 1861-12-31

The old year expires to-day. Its sorrows
tofore experienced within the memory Of the
oldest. For the mercjes vouchsafed :se should
be profoundly grateful--but 20 rational and
feeling man can fail 60 hope for brighter and
happier days in the year which is to come,
and which is 90 Commence Tomorrow.

THE LATE CAPT. LEE.

To the Editor Of the Whi0
At meeting Of the Directory Of the Young Mems
Christian Association of Richmond, held on Monday,
August l2th 1861, the following order unanimous
ly adopted;
Resolved That while We depore the sudden death Of
our brother James K Lee, we, in behalf of Asso
CATION tender to departed worth the honest tribute
only of hearts but of our judgments and testify to
the convictions which long connection members of

brother, most useful and distinguished member Of the
Young Mems Christian Association of Richmond, well
informed, promising and prominent lawyer Of the Rich

tudes of time, the unchangiug realities of eternity.
Falling martyr to his generous and devoted love Of

the of patriot and fearless hsrO to that of the
Christian AID polished gentleman, and in long, long
years TO come that glorious field Of deathess fame will
seldom be mentioned 10 the presence OF those who knew
bu, that heart will not heave sigh as tesrfrl
memory recalls the past that thsrs too, poor Ice fight
ing tell while leading his company to the charge.
As man, James k. Lee will be remembered for his
ulassuuirg and modest dsDeanOr tor the geasn'ss of
his disposition the kindness of his heart and the saayy
OF his manners. To have seen him mniSlering 10 the
SuLday school OF 10 attendance on social aud devo

under so serene surface there ever diving such
quick and living stream Of ohivslry that knew fear
and fidelity to truth, justice aud religion that de6sd
alike the irowns and ssducl Ions OF wicked world.
Ia according these words of tribute to the memory of
the Christian soldier, friend and brother the unaf
fsced sorrow which srs hearts is soiened by the
oagh, that he ass sft this Of ssrs aud trial snG
