THE OLD AND THE NEW.

The Whispered voice of sorrow, hoarse and
low
Goes trembling down the arches Of the
night
And the vsiei shadow of a formle.s woe
Is half revealed by soft, asc ,ndinE light;
A soft, ascending light along the east;
A modest radiance chastened as 10y grief,
Fair a. white hands that bless ma rriage
feast.
Mellow and wonderful beyond belief
In this deep silence men may sit and weep.
And all their tears, soft, trembling in the
light
Shall fall upon the buds of love, that sleep,
And they shall burst in bios ouos, red and
white
To bend above the kindly wears repoSe.
To gladden. in the New Years forward
wav:
For every tear is fruitful when it flows
From eve, that yield 10 Loves diviues'
sway.
Oh, not with storms nor earthquakes comes
our king
Nor crash # mighty Cyhhals in the skies,
But a pansy opes, or some slight thing
Pulsed into life by whispered melodies
OF tuneful voices souls alone may hear
That keep the time of loves inceSsant song;
So comes the new, rejncing, hopeful year,
Silent as midnight and her voceiess throng.
Adieu, fond year; thy work was bravely
done,
And thou hast loved us, though thy open
hand
Has srnote us often and or feet have run
In tangled paths and through the burning
sands
Where sorrow strobe beside US like guide
OF evil purpose; but to night We feel
That every sorrows touch was sauctifei
By Love whose strength exceedeths bars
of steel
Hail, rising year, As all the copses break
In song and blossom, when the spring
goes by
So youthful souls shall sun themselves and
shake
Their white wings into gladneSs, as the sky
Grows warm with thee and smiling, near or
far
Above fair gardens, rich with rural fanes,
Where partial Love unveils her mellow star,
And sweet, domestic bliss with plenty

sistance.
On next Thursday evening Santa Claus
will visit the Children's Homeland with
city-will gladden. the hearts Of the little
ones who find a home in that institution.
If every one in this city could read the
letters. written by the little inmates OF the
home and addressed to Santa Claus. con-
tanning their little petitions and requests.
the most selfish hearts would be touched,
and the Christmas joy, which loving hands
now cold in death. once so gladly provided,
would be given them without stint.
How well we can remember the pleasure
il gave lis in childhood when Christmas
time drew near, To tell father and mother of
the things We wanted Santa Claus to bring.
and how much happiness the words of as
surance that our requests would be granted
always contained, but always accompanied
with the admonition to be a good boy. OF a
good girl. And now as our own little ones
gather about our knee and name the things
that maybe Santa Claus will bring" We
pated happines and realize how necessary
it is that some ear should hear their pc
tition.
The little letters mentioned bear
testimony To this, having no
father nor mother to hear them
they take this method of expressing the de-
sires of their little hearts TO Santa Claus
himself
If the element of unselfshneSs contained
in the following petition could enter the
hearts of the people who enjoy multitudes
of blessings that the little writer never
dreamed of. a further appeal for assistance
would be unnecessary:
