eThe New Veal, blitl1e md bold, my friend
Comes up to take his own" ~
: Last evening SAW US Watching out
the last solemn hours of the departing
year, and this morning finds us full Of
joy and rejoicing over the advent of an
other new year like conrtiers, who have
fed with dnseemly haste from the bed-
side Of a dying sovereign to usher in
with shouts and welcome the incoming

"Old things have passed awaY;p there
Is no trace left of. the mysterious boun1
dary of 1time which we have passed.
But still it is common to chant requi-
ems over the dead and to recall them to
memory, in the presence of the living.
The poets have sung their songs over
the dying year, and through them we
can look back upon il. Aside from
poetry, the departing year is, from
childhood to age, a lgreat mystery, and
a solemn event. As childhood passes
away the mystery also passes, but the
solemnity increases with years, until
the time comes when years seem to
shorten into. weeks and days, and life
slips 'tfaster than n weaver's shuttle" /"
and we can say of each passing year as
the poet has said: "It came, and faded
like wreath OF, mist ataeYe." OF the
year which has just passed, We can say
with the same poet alas, how truth
