THE NEW YEAR.

some rule OF life by which to guide my feet:
1 "SAeo ana paused 1t answered sort and low:
Gods will to know"
"ili hhowiedge, then, sufhce, New Year ?" 1 Grid
but ere the question into silence died
Inc answer came: Nay. this remember too,
Gods will to do"
" 10 know! to dol can this be all we give
10 Him in whom we and move and liyea
No more, New Year," This, too. must ne vour a.,

Once more ! asked: as there stlll more IN te,, o.
And once again the answer sweetly fell:

THE OLD YEAR.

Let others sing the glad New Year.
While all the bells their music fling
Upon the frosty midnight air;
Let others sing their greeting clear,
I'll chant song and drop a tear
For thee. thou irieHdless poor old year.
All year old, what wealth thou bore
OF friendship true ana love divine.
The gifts SO precious from thy store
Thou lavished like the gods of yore
Were won't to lavish on mankind
Thou brought to all who welcomed thee
Some knowledge for their future guide.
Some treasured thought or deed to be
heneeiorth a hying part of thee
Forever with them to abide,
Old yearrthouIl never be forgot
While hearts beat on that beat Tor thee,
Rest on! forever in our thought
Shall be a consecrated SPOT
Aai!owed TO thy memory.
All dying year, some gifts were sad
Among the blessings that thou brought
And bitter lessons 'mOng the glad
Like ihorns among The roses had
a meaning. we Interpreted not.
But now thy death hath made them clear,
We needed that our faith be tried
That every grief and every tear,
And every wish unsatsfed
Was part of Gods great plan divine
To make ms stronger and more pure.
For trials only can refine
The senshness of human kind
And faith through suffering will endure.
Farewell. Old year! the winds will blow
Dead leaves above thy lonely bed
And winter drop his shroud OF snow
Where thou art lying cold and low,
Thy glory and thy beauty fed.
So thou art gone! a vanished year;
Another milestone in our life
The future waits with smile ana tear
With aspirations. hope aud fear, -.
With dreams Of peace and duties rife.
Farewell with eager eyes and outstretched hands
We turn and face the eastern skies
Where, becf oning. the New Year stands,
While swiftly run the golden sands.
As ia his glass the moments fly.
