TO THE Old YEAR.

Alas! alas revered old year,
You, too, must die and disappear.
All finished is thine earthly task
All ready, toe, thy snowy casque.
And waiting is thy fateful nurse
To bear thee, in Times mournful hearse,
From all the pleasures Of thy day,
Unseen Of mortal eyes awsy.
Good luck, TO many, ton hast brought,
To many, direful evil wrought.
Kings have quarrellcd, fought and wrangled
And each others subjects mangled,
Till hardest rocks might well cry out,
Ana find excuse for honest doubt,
That God, in justice, ever meant,
That hardest tyrants might repent,
And find reward Of joy and love,
In homes, unmade by hands, abovei
Leaving all their baneful arts behind,
For other monsters still to find.
But thine. indeed is not the blame,
That all this wickedness and shame,
Is done beneath Religious Cloak,
DOR at bchest of Royal Croak-
That some have plucked tAe fragrant rose
And left the thorns TO pierce their Toes
That men have flourished, while they lied,
And weman's higher sphere denied.
Thine not the fault, IL still, they will
King Alcohol most Ct 10 fill
The highest niche of Church and state,
There, stepped in vice, to legislatc.
For Spring did wreAthe tbs youthful brow
With garlands pure, and sweet, 1 roWI
As when each weli-sdapted cline
Merged from the plastic hand OF hm"'
Now, dssy Old Year. farewell forever;
Well never gather at the River
For, lost on earth. and lost in Heaven
Art thou, oh! dying seventy-se'eh'
