The twelve months on which we are ac-
customed to tarry awhile to review the
past and speculate as to the future.
Here is prospect and retrospect. Here
ends part of our journey, and we
naturally turn our eyes back to see who
sre missing from the ranks; what
friends death has snatchcd away, and
how fare all the rest. Many will an
swcr roll-call no more. Some who an
swer now fear or feel that they will not
respond again {; but the great multitude,
in whom stirs the blood of youth and
health, live in the future. The past is
the world in which the aged dwell but
il is the coming years that hold the
hearts Of the majority here on EARTH

Of the past and prophecy Of the fu-

THE CITY PROSPEROUS.
In common with all the cities Of this
country, but probably in degree less
than the average, Richmond in 1884
suffered from depression in trade. In
the first half of the year business re-
cciyed a severe shock by the failure Of
a number of well-known houses North,
followed later by some in the South
