The old year has been lived, honored
and abused according to our several
moods For good or i'll it has passed away,
and it's history is inscribed on the memo
rial stone of the nations. Whether it has
brought veal or woe; whether there has
been joy or gladness in its footsteps, there
is no recall In retrospect of the year
lust passed we find little to distinguish it
from the long line of predecessors with
which in the halls of silence it shall dwell
forever. But what a marked change from
the closing of the eighteenth century and
the nineteenth. Could those gone before
look back upon the world as it stands to-
day they would be amazed. The new year
is before us. The twentieth century is
before us. 1t comes with brightness IN
all its bearings calculated to bring good
C beer to the heart of everyone. There is
every indication that it will bring to us
continued prosperity.
