MABEL II PoMERoY, EDITOR,

Good bye old 1895, you have now
passed over the line, which nothing,
not even time, or eternity turns back
to recross. Your hair has been silver
ed by many moons, And your once
rounded aud beautiful form, has been
bent and emaciated with The tide that
is ever onward, Aud the poor old
wrinkled face has, at last been hidden
from our sight. We wonder II there
were a few tears shed at the old years
departure; and few sighs Of regret,
breathed by few Some, perhaps,
may have said, good bye, with a light
and happy heart, and others with a
heart full ofsorrow and pain. Have all
Of us said, farewell, with heart free
from all anger or ill-will towards
others II not lot us drop them, and
bury them, as deep as old 1896 has
been buried, and leave them for all
eternity,
