The Closing Year.

IT'S the last night of the old year.
In few short hours one more year
will have passed away forever, aud
will be remembered only by the men,
DRY Of the joys it has brought,
or the sorrows it has left with US, and
bow many and how various these may
have been. Erie nds that have met
gladly. joyfully and spent many hap
Ply hours together, have been parted
and will not meet again for years,
perhaps never in this world. New
friendships have been formed. and old
ones made stronger. Those we
thought true may have proved false.
We have perhaps been called upon to
drop bitter tears over the pale face Of
) ono We loved and press hot, loving
kisses upon pure lips that will answer
back-nevermore. The year is dead!
Yet no funeral trai'As sweeping past.
No bell is tolling; no organ is pealing
forth its sad notes; no mourner with
sad and tear stained face is standing
by. Had the old year no friends tha
its last night is passed by unheedcd 3!
Not 60; the moonheams sall like q
pale spotless shroud. The wind
brea thes mournful sigh for the de-
parted of the year. There is, some
thing strangely solemn in the quiet
air. It is time for memory and for
tears. If some secret sin, committed
]; against thy God, thy friend, or thy
/. self, is weighing on thy spirit, now is
the time for confession and to plead
for pardon. IF any friend hast offend
ed, now is the time for forgivness.
Think also of the misspcnt moments.
. They have been many. Resolve that
! next years record shall be smaller,
and keep the resolution. Look at the
vanished hopes Of the past twelve
months. Th cir mum Der is not small.
Dwell also for time on benefits and
blessings received. Whether they
be few or many the spirit in which
they are accepted and the thanks
which are rendered should be the
same. They were perhaps passed
carelessly BY at the time, if 50, more
need of now being thankful. You,
whose sorrows have been many, bear
!; in mind that although God chasten-
eth, he dosth it in love and not in
anger You, whose mercies have
not been few, remember to whom
praise is due. The minutes now
creep by very slowly. Tho candle of
the old year is burned very low. The
fame will soon flicker and die. 1871
will soon be lain in the grave with
other years Of past generations and
1872 will be gladly welcomed in the
hope that it may bring some recon.
penss for the ill-starred evils of the
past. Vain hope! was not the pres
ent year welcomed with tho same
thoughts, and think you the coming
year will accomplish the end any
more readily? We think not We
must not forget Father Time, who 10
ever near hurrying US on and urging
Us to improve the present moment.
Hark the clock strikes twelve.
Fare thee we'll old year. Hail the
new year. Dear friends, We wish
you one and all q happy New Year.

NEW YORK, DeceInber % The sixty
sixth anniversary Of the New England
society was celebrstea this evening by 8
dinner ct DslmonicorH. Counsellor Joseph
II. Choat presided, and after the substan-
tials had been disposed OF, delivered 8
very humorous address,. He announced
the first toast TO be the Day we Cele-
brate," to which the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher responded. He spoke of the
varied beauties Of New Englsnd scenery
and industry, and tho honesty of its peo-
! pie. Referring to the Pilgrim Fathers, he
said they brought over with them many
Of the errors and superstitions which ex-
listed in England at the time, but left
more behind them. Through time these
burpinR witches, which was the pilgrims
greatest and most Irrational superstition.
Reecher then turned to politics, and said
1t should be preached from the pulpit as
much as the gospel Is; this the pilgrim
fathers did, and he approved their ideas
in this regard. He regretted that the
government and the church had come to
When New England was colonizsd 1t WAS
the custom TO build the church first at 8
place where 1t was intended TO build
city. Every man who became resident
Of the new city was 8 member of the
church, which became the local legisla-
ture. In conclusion he referred to the
lat5 reform movements in this city, and
said il was the result of the New England
idea Of honesty and economy.
The next toast was, 1.-THE President of
the United States" which was drank
with bonor.
In offering the toast OF the "City of New
York." the president said sufficient re-
sponse had been made on the 7th Of
Novemb 7 last.

spoDded briefly to the toast of ''New
