FOR TEIE 1869

Another year has passed away,
And New Years morn we greet
With greatful hearts, with kindly words,
For each dear friend we meet.
May Joy and gladness on each heart
Pour forth genial ray
And pleasant words and loving smiles
Cheer ALL this New Years day.
One wear ago. the future seemed
Dark with the looming clouds,
And many hearts though gay the WHILE
With anxious fear were bowed;
But, though the clouds still threatnng lower
Fureshadowing much OF Ill
Hope smiles beyond,-her radiant star
Can cheer and comfort still.
Yet while we know all is not bright
That tyrants rule the land,
How many blessings crown our lives,
Restored by Heavens kind hand.
Our cherished Valley, which the
OF Sheridan laid waste
Who boosted that cen birds should find
All drear and desolate-
Now plenty reigns. the wasted fields
With golden grain were crowned.
While teaming herds OF cattle roam,
And verdure clothes the ground.
All hearts are cheered, the tradesmen now
Hours, late and early, keep;
And business presses, till they find
Scarce time to eat or SLEEP.
Our noble city, too bids fair
To rank first in the line;
We look for wondrous growth and rise
In eighteen sixty-nlne.
The centre of the Commonwealth
Which tyrants rent in twain;
They sought to crush wealth and name
But they have sought in vain.
And now dear readers will you grant
Your faithful Carrier boy
Freedom to speak Of that which gives
His heart the greatest joy.
Success unlocked for yet has crowned
Our abors through the year
And steadily our lists have grown
And filled our hearts with cheer.
ssVIRe1N1AN" is the name we claim;
VIRGIaIAN it shall be
In all that's lofty, noble. pure,
From all that's servile, free.
CLERGYMAN" is not all we claim,
.'rHE VALLEY" yet belongs;
And while we live her rights well guard
And vindicate her wrongs.
