Hail Patrons, good! A blithe New Year!
We greet you with Il song;
And wish that yon may all be blest,
With happy years and long.
Oh! Father Time again has swung
His sythe with mighty sweep,
And laid the deeds of Seventy One,
In records. at his feet.
Bright hours and sad it brought to all,
And pains, and joys, and fears
And some have lost, and some have won;
Who count the smiles and tears,
Tie thrills Vt hope, the pangs of grief,
The new made mounds of earth
That cover hearts which throbbed like ours
When the Old Year had BIRTH
But recreant to Onr trust we'd be,
If we let gloom O'erspread
Our hearts, because i'll days that's gone
Great gicfs had bowed our head.
We live not for t!le past but for
The time that still s\onrs:
From night of darkness bright morn comes,
From blood of slain, spring flowers.
Soft music swclls to day, and mirth
Holds revel in each home,
New hope has come to bless and cheer,
Aud new born promrtings come
To urge us on in duty's way
To help, to sootlie, to please,
And sounds that tell us do and dare,
Are floating in the breeze.
Ye sons of Southern soil, wake up!
For you Il future Siides \
OF plenty, peace, and prosperous hours:
Ills light cloud which hides
Your glorious end from present gaze;
And soon will pass away
The vail of wrong, aud you will stand
In mi sht Of former days.
The hour approaches when each voice
Should in selfiight be i.eard;
Go grid yowr armor firmly oil
BE Warned, advised, prepared.
Iyrants usurp what once was yours,
Rise! meet them face to face
Remember, ere November comes,
That tdttering, means disgrace.
Too long you've let occasions pass,
Which might your State improved,
Aud looked with cold indifference on
Your birth rights all removed
Now Is the hour to strike the blow
That will resound, and tell,
IN time to come, how meath its might,
The strength of robbers fell.
Fair women of our own dear soil,
Iioltti, pure us INoufita.ii SNOW,
Rememher, It's from such as you,
That acts OF greatness flow.
Man may excel in deeds OF strength,
May rule in wanon power,
May make Whole nations reel and sway,
And item Die in his!hour;
But miehtier still your wide domain,
You rule the stubborn heart,
And in each good and generous deed,
Have ever borne your part.
We look to you to cheer us on,
To help lis i'll our need,
TITS yours to aid us and advise,
TO pray we may succeed.
Mid dread defcat, in SORROWS great,
Brave, cheering words You spoke,
And in despondencys sad hour,
A future hope awoke.
To you We grateful memory give,
For many Il manly vow,
Made in Your name, and carried out
We ask your counsel now.
Good Patrons all, and others, too,
.. 'Is time | babe adieu;
Remember It's bnt, ONCE A YEAR,
The Carrier calls on you.
While sleep your.eyclids presses with
His fingers soft and warm,
The Carrier in the cold is out,
To give the first alarm
OF dangers great, evils small,
And ma, riage, birth and death,
And other news to you does bring,
From utmost parts of earth.
So meet him with Il pleasant smile,
And give him words of cheer;
They'll help him to fulfill his task,
Though this, the now, New Year.
