The new year comes in wintriIy
and wistfully. Whether with reason
or not, our people seem with one
consent to be making their arrange
ments with a view to hard times
and dulness in business transactions
the coming year. Politically men
look indeed to 4 distant future of
reform and renovation, but all seem
to think that we have to get worse
before we get better, and that con-
siderable time has yet to Intervene
before we touch bottom and begin
to rise again, SO that people are feel
Ing their way and seeking a line of
action in which, if much cannot be
made, LOSSES willnot be great. \ sum-
mer's sun may yet dispel this twin
ter a 0uf discomfort, and the true
state OF mind for setting to work at
the business of the year is one of
combined with caution.
Men who stand together, carefully
controlling their own affairs and |
helping one another, can do well,
whatever happens.
Perhaps as good an epitaph as
could be found for the sepulchre of
1880 is that with which so many Of
Lheold Greek tragediesc close: Many
are the reverses of fate, and the
gods determine many things beyond
mems anticipation, so that things
expected come not to pass, while
finds means for accomp-
fishing the unexpected"
An old mans consolation is that
while the brightest expectations
never come up to what was looked
or, the worst forebodings never
urn out as bad as was feared.

In severing our connection with
DIR. Wright, as editor of the CHRON-

We have. ever since our connection
with the paper, endeavored to keep
it up to a high standard of journal

been of the most pleasant character,

the CHRONICLE as acceptable as
heretofore to its readers.

the only paint Christian virtue should
