The Death OF the Old Year.

Old year you must not die;
You come to us so readily,
You lived with us SO steadily,
Old year you must not die.
He lieth still He doth not noove-
He hath no other life above;
He will not see the dawn Of day.
He gave me friend, and a true true-loye,
And The New-year will take 'cm away.
Old year, you must not go;
So long as you have been with us,
Such joy as you have seen with us,
Old year, you shall not go.
He frothed his bumpers to the brim;
A jollier year we shall not see.
But though his eyes are waxing dim,
And though his foes speak i'll of him,
He was a friend to me.
Old year, you shall not die,
We did so laugh and cry with YOU,
I've half mind to die with you,
Old year, if you must die.
He was full Of joke and jest,
But all his merry quips are DER.

But nell be dead before.

How hard he breathes! over the snow

Shake hands before you die.
Oldyear, We'll dearly rue for you:
What is it we can do for you?
Speak out before you die.
His face is growing sharp and thin
Alack! our friend is gone,
Close up his eyes: tie up his chin:
Step from the corpse and let him IN

And waite.h at the door,
There's anew foot on the floor my frient
And new face at the door, my friend,

concerning affairs in Mexico He briefly re-
cited the events i'll that country which ter
minated IN the elevation of President Diaz,
andstated that our government had instruct
ed him to make known to that of Mexico its
desire to settle all pending questions of dis
agreement between the two countries, includ-
ing theft, murder, arson, plumber, violation
of post offices and custom houses, incursions
by armed men to destroy life OF property,
cattle stealing, which had become profita-
5le occupation, and forced loans bv which
American citizens have been compelled to
submit to unjust and unequal exactions
he, IN accordance with instructions
from the State department., notified Diaz
that some guarantee of an arrangement for
the adjustment Of difficulties must be given
in a condition precedent to any recogni-
tion Rather than trust to possibility that
it might ultimately follow, the Mexican GOV
eminent gave the assurance that they we're

Senior Vallarta, Mexican secretary for for

his government for settlement of disagree

It was the opinion of Minister Foster that
before anything could be done in the way
of recognition Mexico must give some as

present cause of grievance. In the course
of his statement he said that as portion of
