THE DEPARTED YEAR.

Tie year just departed, how feet ii he's woven,
With finger of light, its delicate woof
Times resive steed for ever is moving
Onward and onward with vigiant hoof
Friends have gathered, and friends have de-
parted,
Sorrows have threatened, then fastened
away;
Sunheams across our pathway have darted,
Gloomirg 10 purple in lengthening day.
Beautiful beings have bound in their tresses
Sprays Of the range-bough mingled with
pearl
Sweet, loving hearts, that were warm with
caresses,
Vanishing. left but one radiant curl
Hands that were warm with truth how en-
during,
Have chilled in our gaze, and been folded
away
Honor, its dearly-earned laurel securing.
Has dropped its high head full in victory'5
way.
Wealth with deep poverty places exchanging,
Hath builded with cedars its beautiful halls;
Commerce, beyond the wide ocean ranging,
filings down its ingots al charity'9 calls.
Ethiop springs from her long rusled letters,
India her coral-reef passes in joy;
History writes in Interchangeable letters
Deeds Of deep noUlcnesS free from alloy.
Lands that were distant, now firmly united,
Linked by the lightning, one continent
stand,
Sorrows are Solaced, and wrongs have been
righted,
Orient turGs to cur beautiful land
Beautiful in the full favor Of heaven
Laden with bounty, and gifted with grace,
While at her feet every blessing is given,
And Gods crowning seal marks tavorite
race
