is forever Interchangeable. We do love
to visit GENE of its scenes, however, in
memory. There were hopes we had
and friends we loved in the former
years-where are theye Alas the hopes
are withered in our hearts, and many
of the loved ones are in the grave asleep.
With silent footsteps, year after year
wends its onward way into the fathom-
less deaths of a mysterious eternity.
What story these departed years might
tell! What volumes of sorrow and bit
ter disappointment is to be seen in their
Journey! What,tales of blighted hopes,
broken promises, unrequitted love, in
jured inurcence and cruel wrongsl
What a record of mingledjoys and tears,
innocence and crimes, virtue and sin!
Es.the years-deaa to us-but living
somewhere still, are marshailed in sol
emn silence around the royal throne of
Him who sent them on tteir silent, yet
eyentful mission, what burdens of in
formation they must bring! How there
silently visible yet stern and relentless
witnesses will arise in solemn Judgment
against the world! These quiet, unob-
~trusive years, seemingly harmless or
powerless for good or evil, passing us
without a whispered word of welcome
or recognition, many carry with them
to their mysterious gathering place the
seal of our eternal destiny. How SOL
Tenn the thought! How important to
be wise! May this New Year bring to
oar readers nothing but joy-a joy un-
disturbed by the under clemens of ma
tute, unchecked by tears of sorrow, but
mixed with love and sympathy for their
ht1A8z -ursn
whom fortune has smiled, and who are
surrounded with all the comforts and
luxuries that wealth can furnish, re-
member that there ale some in our
midst "by friends and fortune quite
disowned," whose joys are but few'
while their sufferings and wants are
many.
