New Year.

The old year, eighteen hundred and seventy
four, but yesterday the current year, with its
tolls and trials, its joys and griefs, sis num-
bered with the things that were" The words
and deeds of the old year, with all their trains
OF influence and consequences, whether good
or evil, are irrevocably beyond our power to
recall. There is but one way in which they
can in any measure avail us, and that lie by
furnishing food for reflection. 1t becomes the
wise often, and especially at the beginning Of
the year, to look back over life, and endeavor
80 to scan our record that experience may
throw its light upon the future. From honora-
BILE success, we may gain confidence from
laundering failure, we learn caution, and, It
truly brave and manly renewed determination
10 perseyere Looking in the face, calmly and
candidly, the errors and sins of the past, may
lead us to repentance.
Whilst the last hours OF year are, to the
thoughtful, solemn and serious, and may be
sad there comes with the new year the thought
that however the past years may have been
spent, there is still opportunity for the fulfill
ment of noble resolves and the accomplish
ment Of high purposes, and we may 'Let the
dead past bury its past and start upon
career in,the first hours Of the new year, that
shall be worthy OF our powers and capabilities.
We wish TO all our readers happy and use
ful and prosperous New Year, and that should
