IT'S New Years day-the old years gone
With all the hopes her days have given;
And all her cares must be withdrawn
Or to the tide of sorrow driven.
We now must make q new resolve.
And drive away each latent sorrow,
Nor let our bygone cares dissolve
The pleasant hopes that bless the morrow.
For Time, with her eventful cast,
Like some i'll spirit shadows DER us,
And binds in her embrace the Past
With all the days spread out before us.
We know not how this year may end,
On whose swift current we have started;
But let our brightest hopes extend,
Nor grieve DER days that are departed.
The scenes that blessed our childhood's hours
And gave to early life its mission,
But hastened on with nobler powers
Our manhood's full and strong ambition,
Maturer years shall follow yet
By still maturer deeds attended,
And each some pleasant hopes beget
Until LIES maynard course Is ended.
Oh, then will each good deed we've done
la golden letters be engraven;
II our brief race be nobly run.
Until we reach mans final haven.

The Negro Growing fa Grace.
ATLANTA Constitution

The negro Is growing in grace, so to speak.
He is discovering that his only friends are
those whom he knows best; he is gradually
learning thar he has been most numerically
robbed and swindled by the people who pre-
fessed to have an interest in his welfare.
They have been led to the polls bound hand
and foot in the tolls in which carpet bagism
had ensnared them, and they have voted as
ignorantly and as blindly as it is possible for
politically ignorant and blind people TO vote
But all this is past. and the sooner the re-
publicans of the north discover it the better
it will be for them. The colored vote has
passed from under their control. 1t will be
cast in the direction best calculated to aid
the interests of the solid south.
