The Old Year died without sigh.

The silent stars their vigil kept,
The cold, white earth IN beauty slept
The moouheams threw modest ray
That .Fea7ed charm unfelt By day.
And brought chime so sweet, 80 dear;
It whispered clear, "Happy New TeaFl"
On midnight wing. the sound WAS borne,
Bursting the bars Of early morn;
The echo flew o'cr land and sea,
And hailed the dawn with Cheers Of Eteo-
Sadly I eaw the Old Year close
It's feetiug breath in calm repoee;
For with It fled bright, happy hours,
Fragrant as the April showers.
The mcrry chime pealed through mJthcart,
And baLe me feel its soothing art;
The old past joys we're then forgot,
New forIne arose, my paintings bought.
Mr. soul wn1ed strong with words OF lore.
That seemed to come from God above;
A gentle beam shone on my hreast,-
It left a calm and blisAful rest.

And told me not to leave the field,
To crush the thorns, CLEAN the flowers,
