THE DYING YEAR.

IT'S the last lone hour OF the dying year.
And the winds are sighing low and drear.
AS they toss the sleet. half snow, half rain
Like gusts ofsand, gainst the window pane
AS listen to hear the gladstone shout,
The New Year in and the old year out
No one grieves for the old years death,
AS they wait for his latest, falling breath:
For now that his glory and prime are Ger,
He may 60 as the years have gone before.
Where the bells of time are joyfully rung,
Ger the birth of the New Year, fire sh and
young.
Could a bard of the ages truly sing
OF the changes this same New Year may
bring,
His song translated would be like this:
"While some may quaff from a cup of bliss.
Alas. for those who must sadly know,
How bitter the days in a cup of woe"
Yet gladly we hail thee, bright New Year,
With words of welcome, and songs of cheer.
When the springtime and summer and au-
tumn are past,
Old Winter shall grizzle thy beard at last.
And then, when thy glory and prime are
DER,
Shalt 60 as the years have gone before.
The years they come, and the years they 60,
While time, with a tide of ceaseless flow,
Is bearing us on through her changing hours,
Now under the shadows, now mid the
flowers,
But ever anon, towards eternity's shore,
Where Time, with his changes, shall come
no more.

Presents.

AS a rule, it is best to choose some
thing nice of it's kind, rather than
something cheap and snowy. For in
stance, small paper-weight or cutter
of dainty design is an appropriate gift,
while the selection of large portfolio
of cheap material, costing the same
amount of money as the weight or
cutter, is in very poor taste; or
small portemonnaie, of real Russia, or
crocodile leather, or dainty plush, Is
more desirable than large handbag
made of cheap material at the same
price.
A Christmas keepsake is of more
value to a dear friend if it is the giver's
own handiwork, than if purchased.
If possible, it is better to give some
thing both useful and ornamental. A
small thermometer mounted on vel
vet, or plush, or satin, with a few
hand-painted flowers, makes a dainty
and useful gift for ones room. Acase
for brushes; a set of hooks for keys,
mounted on velvet and matching the
room furnishings in color: box of
dainty stationery for a young lady
friend; or an ornamented waste-paper
basket for the friend in college, or
papa's study or otfice,-are all quite
inexpensive, yet suitable for any
friend, whether rich or poor. -,

The day on which the Christ was born
With waves ofsound salute.

sister had lost every

finally, hope. The

with the marriage, re-
fused aid. "Why did

claimed, and then
thought no more of

until he met little
Susie, as we have

as to them, came
greater h applness
than he or they had
