THE CLOSING YEAR.

"The year has gone, and with IL
many glorious throng Of happy
dreams. Its mark is on each brow.
It's shadow on each heart. In its
swift course, it waived its sceptor
over the beautiful and they are not.

strong man, and the naughty form
is fallen, and the flashing eye is
dim 1t trod the hall of revelry,
where thronged the bright and joy.
Gus, and the fearful wall of stricken
ones is heard. where erst the song
and reckless shout resounded. 1t
passed over the battle plain, where
sword and speer and shield, flashed
in the light Of midday, and the
strength of seemed hosts is shiyered
and the grass, green the soil OF
carnage waves above the crushed
and Wondering skeleton 1t came
and faded like wreath of mist at
eve, yet ere it melted on the tear.

their homes in the dim land of
