A Carol for the ?few roar.
happy-New Year" is the song wit - sing,
With lope gaily pinioned on fluttering wing,
lint the spirit seems floating all spotleesind clear.
Far hack in the past of the dying Old Year.. . •
In a vision I saw something more than ideal,
/lope, Faith, Love, and Truth,!twes a d ream of
the real,
Ss it bidding farewell to the weary old weeper,
Wlto.bel4 on hie bosom the lovely young sleeper.'
Anti Memory, -half etailing throsigh, tears stood
apart, .
Vittra book in her hand which was 'ahaped like
'4l, heart, -
Twaa peociled with ann-light and clasped by a
tear,
All lettered before her the hopes 041ast year.
Some pages were spdltsa and white as a shroud,
Unstained by a sorrow—andiran'd by a cloud,
Rut many—too many the leati.ets ' l traced,
Ouse mirrored in smiles, but by tears , now ef
faced.
['heie were tracings of eadness on cheeks that
were wet,
At pLgt ar,c cata rtever-for.get,
Ah ! ba:ro , w had biosstmled from seeds of pure
Hope's smiling bad proved but a treacherous kiss
The vows lightly made like the breath of the air,
And as easily brokeu were all letteied there;
The flowers that had perished—the lights that had
fled,
And tressel of hiair,from the brows af the dead
As I viewed diets, strange blendingsof raptures
and fears, -
One page rose before me all blinded hy teats,
'Twee written with blood which the poor pen had
dip'd
From hearts which of sorrow tho bitterest dregs
'Twasof one who was with Ins a short year ago,
In beauty and youth still a mounter below,
She met ma in sadness and crushed back a tear,
While sweetly she wished me a ‘! Happy New
Year."
Cat she arooped, sank, and tried, and we laid ber
Lo rest.,
rted placed the turf lightly upon her point; breast
Woile we tried to look upward forgetting the clod,
For our Saviour before the dark valley hod trod.
Alt: sometimes in fancy on pinions of love,
Through the stars I can see her bend down from
above,
As though she would chide the heart swelling
dispair,
Of the loved ones on earth who would follow' her
there. •
And in this struts vision I caught jnst a gleam
Of the coming 4•Neir Year," and 'twas bright Loa
dream,
Of the Sammer's sweet softtiess--the . young
pane' pure brepth—
Of the Aztumu's sad hiding—and Winter's cold
death. -
All! grant when this "New Yen?' shall bid us
farewell
And the same merry echo shall joyously swell
That heavenly lesson we better may knew,
Ot pat lent endurance while lingering below.
But again we remember the song ti-e
And a joyous wish to oar friends we bring.
For the Present a smile—for:the Past not a trar—
Brute hearts for the Future, and a 4. Happy,New
Prom the Tribune.

And in my hour of sorest need she lied,
'And left me in a maxi where I lied perished,

Clara was, is yet, gneonseions" of her eons"-

flam:of affection that she• strove in .vain to
subdue The lofty spirit of Aumbis ; his wild
enthueiasm, his every thought flashing with
the inspiration of Nature and his every heart
throb swelling high with - sympathy; all, all
conspired ter increase the fervor of her afree=
tion-more and still, more. • Ber 'wishes, the'ts
and impulses took the 'impress of his, thougii
herself uneenselous of the fact. tie WAS what
her fancy had ever pictured as the Pay excel-
loco of nobleness, of virtue, of man. Not a
thought, he uttered that did . not soon to bass
pure as though dropped from an angere lips;
not a word spoke he that, did not fall an her
ear sweeter than .music. When :he sat and
gazed silently into her mildly . floating oyes,
she sometimes fancied she could read in that
gaze a multitude of deep emotions struggling
for utterance: And then, as though.,to divert
his mind froin what site thought to be unwel
dome,' glo4i)my thoughts; In the artlessness of
- -
innocence itself, by a witching smile or a des-
ture all facination; or perchance by the out
burst ofsome enthusiastic thought, she
would break the spell that bound him, and en
exclamation of half unmeaning .adiuiration
would escape his lips. . - . •
Thus these two beings grew up together,
till their whole natures seemed run together
in onemould of congeniality. As 'before' inti
mated, Clara possessed something more than
Mere personal attractions: ihtellectuhf

heart found a response in his, and ho caught
up the inspirations of her lofty mind as they
dropped in
.words;—they found a lodging
place in his tnemory—they influenced his thols
and actions. •
Amulus now grew 'sad and theughtful.—
Ile was unhappy. HiS mind was - o'ereherp;Od
and he laaew of no perion an earth to whom
he could summon courage sufileient to. reveal

,Ties threshold of-a, New -Year is ti pausing
spot in `Mates , esistence;where ho can scan the
past and ponder the futute..Up to this thresh:
old the old Year'comessand taring foro mo
ment cht,thOfuture,` which` it Cannot
. entei', it
turns away to lie' dawn With' the years' that 1
haVe alrelidy 'Mandrel! round the earth. As,
We look on its retiring, form, .wo see-its giant
shadowliung ..over'the past, as it slowly, sinks
into its grave. , to wait its resurrection with-
"the years beyond the flood." Wine we look,
and muse, - the New Year, approaches fresh
from the hand of Time, With, its brow unsea
ted and unwrinkled by the Months that must
, leave their furrows there t` and 'With On'tye
bright With the light of hope and promise, ex
tends its welcome hand to ,the Weary genera.:
tions that conic to meet it.
• Say what men will oflife,' the 'voice of the,
New Year is Cheerful mid con, atulatory.-:-. 1
The Old Year is sad with tnemoriestheNcW.
cheerful with hope, and with the - sante! Spirit
and the same cheerfulness'.do Ice extend the
'hand to our friends, and echo Its voice o f eon
gratulation—reiterate its,words of promise.—
There is "a time .to weep and a time to-laugh,"
land if one spot in our existence is ,more prop
er than any other for .the formeriit is when we
bury the Old Year.. The monuments that line
its pathway stand over lost-friends, disappoint.
od hopes and 'broken promiSea. There - is
so the good that could' have been done • and
was not—the error eotnmitt,sd that, can never
be recalled—the pleasure we received" gone,
with : the objects -that, creat4 the'
hourithat we squandered, • lost beyond, the!
power, of redemption, and, why should no not ;
Ibe sad ? , But as we turn to the New Year, we!
may smile at its words of encouragement: Its
lap is full of blessings, mind life again offers us
the power of doing good. -With! our animosi
ties buried, we may start, with fresh resolu
dohs and fresh encouragements.- : We can, if
we will, help, the• weary, feed the hungry,
cheer the lonely-hearted,
! brighten the hut 'of
'poverty,. and turn the erring and the wicked
'to paths of truth. and happiness. ! The. warm
'grasp of thoserWe love tells of the pleasures of
I friendship that era !in store; %while the' glad
countenances about us are but indices of the
blessings with which the - year promises 'to
'!!These'gitli are to 'tc,fa cir
to our bosoms with hope, in order ta'Strength-'
en us for the struggles we. arelia enter upon.
Cheerful hope is ,as Powerful* ally as stern
resolve in accomplishing good, both to our
selves and others, therefore let the heart bright,
en up with the. encouraging words the New
Year whispers, in our ears: Besides, the plans
of Deity are to move . on towards their eon
summation, and we are reserved to: aid their
progress and receive in our bwn hearts the
reward- of doing good. 'The weary earth
staggers blindly on in its Path, yet'eaelt ye.sr
breaks one of the linksof its fetters, l lHrtens
- s
up one new star in its henven, and sends it one
step farther on tow,arai the paradise it lost.—
All hail, then, the New Year, with , its untried
scenes "and neWekperienees! '
Still it is with thoug,htful feelings wa should
cast our eye btiforeus. The great;thitigS of
this life do'tiot , hap Pen in cycles, but in!single
years.. In a single year the !ied swept tin) world,
and a new year ;rose race , and a
new earth. In a single year the Son,of God
was born on the plains of Asia. ' Within - each
year transpire all the events that go :to raake
IM the history of man. In.some single year
19ve occurred all the famines and pestilences
and earthquakes that, have sWept, men 'into
eternity, ln a single year did Christ die to
redeem n World. ' In a single year has each
man entered upon. his changeless state..'.
then, in some one year all thkgrent events of
life have transpired, and all that Makes
epa to tis..trpl.transpire, how appropriate, to
mal, the threshold of the New Year a breath

hurried existence. Akwe'pass thrinigh , tirne;
