"With the last reluctant tones of the mid-
sight bells there passed into history the
i records of 18S9. Be these records good or
'bad, great or email, that each must answer
vtanto himself.
--L. J '"While looking forward with a firm hope
"-wlo the future, there is always a sad pleasure
, mn turning back over the leaves of the past,
j ,and no matter what the victories to come,
"ttheT ran never atone for the defeat of the
&H j "past. One year nearer to happiness, or per-
-' 'haps one .year nearer to shame, one year
nearer the coal of ambition, and alas, one
v year nearer death. "What a world of mourn-
: ful philosophy lies bnried in the bare rec-
," ordsof the world for but one fleeting year,
. ,, a fleeting moment in the cycles of destiny,
but a lifetime in the age of man.
The past year has seen wondrous strides
' J. in civilization; it has witnessed the triumph
r 2 of art, and calamities innumerable, one, the
ffi greatest that ever befell the human race.
