ton to prove itself fully up to all
reasonable expectations of its read
ers, and hopes that the present New
Year may be one of prosperity aud
happiness to all, and wishes them
not only one, but many happy New
Years.
The old year of 1880 has passed
away; like many a.weary' mortal, it
is numbered among the dead, and is
clothed in the habiliments of death.
To many, the year has been one of
joy, prosperity and happiness; proba-
bly, to a greater number, it has the
membranes of sadness, disap-
pointment and roverses, and many
a loved one that was around the So
cial family circle at the commence
ment of 1880 will be missed from
the reunions of 1881. This is the
fate Of man. To-day his cup is full
of joy, and tomorrow sorrow takes
its place. We know what the year
1850 has brought to us, but by a
fortunate decree of an Overriding
Providence, We know not what is in
store for us the year upon which we
entered last Saturday. Those most
joyous and happy now, may be filed
with sorrow and disappoint before
another year passes away, while the
hearts of those most depressed with
sorrow may find their path more
smooth and filed with pleasure and
