day, says the Boston Watchman. 1t Is
only conventional point Of time; any
other would do as well. Every day closes
an old year and begins a new one. bur for
all that we cannot help feeling that this
day, which is agreed upon throughout
Christendom for the beginning OF new
year, is somewhat unique. The pathos
comes from the review Of the past, and
from the sense that another notch has
been cut for us on the stick Of time. The
