Xgsaw more days and the year which to
some 2MSs brought happiness, to others sad
ness, will be added to those which have
passed before it. Many will, during the
present month, sit in retrospective thought
over the events which have marked the
years in their lives. To the young the
yearsspeed not fast enough; to the old they
are all too short. The young employ the
closing of the year in ambitious planning
lSxSHr the next; the aged muse over the
AA,Ak tents of the past and contemplate the
Mysteries of the future. In the lives of
ES0me the year has proved a memorable
&e, while in those of others it is suggest
& OF no special or startling events. The
RRfkopes of one have materialized and reached
gytrQtti0n; the aspirations of another have
Sfallens short of success, and thus the last
days Of December bring alike pleasant
sad memories. Whatever the year of
3iSvO mas brought to us there is a valuable
upon which we entered has proved unsuc-
3cessful we can now, on looking back over
cause o. aue failure. No lesson is more ore

Ping the new more assured, for we will
