But not with sad regret;

OF nations in fierce strife,
The greater one for world control,
The weaker ones, for life.
Thou hast kept arms in mems grlpped
hands,
The tears In women's eyes,
The dread in little children's hearts,
Death rattles In their cries;
Lands hast thou swept of homes and
crops,
Where toll contented reigned,
Thou hast brought flame to scorch and
kill,
With blood the soil hast stained.
Across the seas thy direful work
Hast planted seeds Of hate
In fearful deeds and wrath to come
To live and germinate.

Pass from our shuddering sight.

birth

Goodby, Old Year.
BY THEODORE H. BoIcE.

The time has come to say goodby,
Old Year, for we must part;
And tits reluctantly we speak
The word that wrings the heart.
For you have been faithful friend
Through all your twelve-month stay.
A friend who clung to us by night
And walked with us by day.
We well remember when you came,
A bright and smiling youth,
With all the promises of hope
And all the cheer of truth.
We hailed you then with merry shouts,
And fondly clasped your hand;
With you we started on the road
To newer conquests planned.
Meath sunny skies we journeyed on
Along life's thoroughfare,
And you were ever at our side,
In all our joys to share.
Through days of toll and days of rest
We always found you near,
A loyal friend, companion true,
With purpose ever clear.
When skies were dark, and rough the
way,
And grief and trouble came,
You through misfortune to us clung,
Your friendship e'er the same.
Through summers heat and winters
cold,
Through gladness, doubt and fear,
You with us steadfastly remained
A loyal friend, Old Year.
But now you're sadly aged, old friend,
Your hair is white as snow;
Your steps, once firm, are faltering,
And you desire to CO.,
We cannot keep you 'gainst your will,
And so tits with a sigh
We clasp your trembling hand and say
"Goodby, Old Year, goodbye
