prisoners under Times stern sad lead
The old days journey beyond our sight,
The happy days, when the sun was
bright
Cannot stay, though our hearts are
In vain we call through the falling night,
Prisoners under Times stern, sad lead

The old days journey beyond our sight"
1t is a time-honored custom to write
at this season of the glad New Year that
is coming with its hopes and fears, it's
joys and sorrows, and alas! its newly
formed resolutions. But it is a question
if more are not looking back to the year
that has gone; to all the years that
have gone, leaving only the memories of
happy days, the realization of fresh sor-
rows, the disillusions that come with time.
So many who, twelve months ago. were
ready to greet 1896 as the New Year, have
been treated by it to some heavy sor-
row and are missing from the ranks Of
gay society to-day. Ring out the old,
ring in the new, says the world And
vet it is no wonder if this last brief week
our thoughts turn sadly to the old days
that have journeyed beyond our sight.
