Here's to the old year, drink boys. drink.
Here's to the days that have fled
Old friends. old wine. old memories;
Drink to the joys that are dead.
Here's to tho New Year stretching ahead,
To the days that are blithesome and gay

the new,
It's sorrows fade gently away.
A New Years Party.
All over the world New Years day
Is a Joyous season and the custom of
giving presents Is q most ancient one.
In olden days the Romans carried gifts
Of dates and figs wrapped in gold leaf
to their senators with small bits of
money. In the time Of Shakespeare

ciated with New Years day, among
them, an orange stuffed with cloves.

must all be burned as will be seen In
the description of the Twelfth Night"
party.

takings of the time between the early
forties and 20 years after the Civil

In the latter years of his life. which
was much occupied with his pet pro
ject OF building ship canal across the
lstbnus OF Panama along what is
called the San Bias route. which lay
some miles nearer the South American
continent than the Panama canal. He
projected his canal from the Gulf of
San Bias, on the Atlantic. to Pearl Is
land harbor. on the Pacific; and he
claimed that II could be built al sea
