be one to lie long remembered bv all
of our people who are old enough to
take note of the events of the year as
srey fellow each other in rapid success
sion, and the first day of the year will
be remembered by those of our citizens
who kept open house or made calls
OIL that day.
The weather was magnificent, as
pleasant almost as May day, and the
lady callers were perhaps more numer-
Gus than on any previous occasion of
the same nature. Bless their dear
hearts. they came in couples, in bevies,
in fiOcks and in droves, and their happy
smiles and cheerful words were well
coined as sweet bOdings of promise that
foretold the many pleasant days OF
cOngenial connubiality for the married
men, and consistent coquetry for the
single ones, that will fill the coming
months.

And review them again tomorrow.

AS the flowing sands Of time.
And the echoes Of thy laughter
Ever peal a merry chime.

To turn the current Of = womans will.
