Tie New Year.

Ring out, 0 bells, ring silver sweet
DER hill and moor and dell!
In mellow echoes let your chimes
their hopeful story tell,
Ring out, ring out, ail-jubilant this
joyful glad refrain
"A bright New Year, a glad New
Year hath come to us again.
The flowers OF spring must bloom at
last, when gone TO the winters
snow:
God grant that after SORROW past we
all some JOY may know:
tempest-tossed our bark
awhile on ife's rough waves
may be,
There comes day of calm at last
when we the haven see.
Then ring, ring on, o peeling bells!
there's music in the sound.
Ring on, ring on, and still ring on
and wake the echoes round,
The while we wish, both for our
selves and al whom we hold
dear, :
That God may gracious be to us in
this bright New Year.
Selected.

Notes and News
of Interest
.*+*.* By N. +. ". .~*J*

About New Years Day and New
Year greetings Matthias Claudius,
an eighteenth century German poet
and country editor, has written
some original things which strange
ly fix our thoughts to the meaning.
Claudius, as will be seen from the
New Year extract given was hum
orist with deeply religious under
tone of thought. His lyrics and short
essays made him famous and were
published under the name of As
mus" "A happy New Year! happy
New Year to my dear country the
land of old integrity and truth! A
happy New Year to friends and enc
NOES, Christians and Turks. HOtten-
tots and cannibals! To all on whom
God permits his sun TO rise, or his
rain to fall. It's a wholly glorious
day, the New Years day! At other
times I can bear that q man should
be a little patriotic and not make
court to other nations. True, one
must not speak evil of any nation.
AS I said, | can bear at other times
that a man should be a. little pa
triotic, but on New Years day my
patriotism is as dead as a mount, it
seems to me that on that day as if
we were all brothers, and had one
Father who is in heaven; as if all
the goods of the world We're water
God has created for all men, as
once heard it said. And so | am &C
customed every New Years morn
ing to sit down on stone by the
wayside to scratch with my staff in
the sand before me and to think of
this and that. Not of my readers. |
hold hem in all honor; but on New
Years morning, on the stone by the
wayside, I think not of them; but I
sit there and think that during the
past year saw the sun rise so often
and the moOn-that | saw so many
rainbows and flowers and breathed
the sweet fresh air so often, and
drank from the brook; and then |
do not like to look up, and l take,
with both hands, my cap from my
head and look into that. Then /
think also of my acquaintance who
have died during the year; and how
they can talk now with Socrates and
Unna and other men of whonrI have
heard so much good, and with John
Huss And so wish glad
New Year to their memory.
