THE CLOSING YEAR.
av 1111511 . C. M. IMAM WICK
It was on the last night of December,
18—, that tile family of my friend . ELLEN
CLAY were lingering over the drawing-room
fire, between the hoursof eleven and twelve.
There were Ellen Clay and her. father
and mother. They had lapsed into deep
silence, seeming to hive retired into the
recesses ,of their own hearts end, if one
might judge from the shadows that were
gathering over their faces, there. was noth+
ing'there - poticularly light or cheering.- 7 .
The last hour of the year is one of those
marked points of time when Conscience,
with a torch glowing with heavenly fire,
throws a light over the whole track of
. the
outrun year, showing every wilful doper..
ture and every careless deviation from the
right path, • •
sat on an ottoman beside her moth
er, her head resting on her mother's lap a,
both Weraitietraeted. Mr. Clay had been
reading et the table. The book was still
open 'before hiri,.but.his':hande were clasp
ed over'its p,ageti.
There sat,on the sofa a person wno was
a. remarkable contrast to the othermemheri
of the party.
He was a Man - about sity, of small
stature, and of so delicate a structure, that
as you looked, in his heavenly face, you
wondered hiiw'that - frail bOdy had served
so long to, detain its celestial guest. Never

out in the confession of secret prayer.
shall merely designate him as the Clay's
friend-4 friend' he truly was, and is to the
whole htiman race. He was the first to
break the silenti of the Party by saying in
a low thrilling•voice- 0 14y friends, I have
ever thoirght this hour between eleven and',
twelve of the closing 3 ear, one of the gra
cious periods of life. Our Heavenly father
seems interposing for us—ustretching mrt
His arm to us, to help us over the dreary
distance that some of us, have interposed
between Him amt ourselves. it id one of
those high points or life Whence we see
before as well ,as behind, and if the burden
of sins, voluntarily borne thus far, weighs
heavily, we are incited by its galling to
throw it off. We perceive some glimmer-
ng of our immortal destiny—ewe feel that
the chords of our true life are interwoven
with every thing enduring in the universe,
and that when the sun, moon, and stars,
whcise revolutions now-mark to us-the-pe
riods of our lives, shall be blotted otit—the
fire of their urns all spent—wA shall still
live in our spiritual relations to the Divine

thoughti" he continued, taken Ellen's
hand; -and addressing himself to her, '"give
a dignity to your present life? does it not
make existence appear to you an Infinite
good ? It seems so to me."
Ellen looked 'in his. face for a moment,
and then said, " it may to you—it should?
but to me"—she burst into tears and was
again silent:

with a smile, "may help you to separate

Ellen locilted to her father and mother.
"Do, Ellen," said her mother;" "I will
make. my confession too."
"And I mine," said her father, "and we
will all - be upon honor to tell the true
story."
We must premise that there is in the
technical sense of the wortino story to tell.

make marriage a money contract, she be
gan to feel the chill Atmosphere that sure
rounds a reserved, mo'est young woman
among the budding or freshly• blown young
people that constitute the gay society of
our drawing-rooms. Ellen went to parties
because it would seem 'odd if ehe did not;
and she gave them in her turn, because she
was expected to give them. 'She had the
customary round of home oecupatiorie",- -
She rose late and dawdled through the
morning with' devising changes in her
dress, or reading the morning paper—or
running through a new poem; or „a new
novel. If the day were fine she made visits
or received them, or shopped, or took a
short stroll in the sunshine. After dinner
she took a nap, and if the evening were
passed without _society, she occupied it
with the monotonous varieties of , hemming
and stitching hat fill a young woman's
work-box, or she migh be so fortunate as
to have on hand that most exciting of the
needle-arts--a bit of worsted work. , Oc
casionally she played and sung agreeably a

call forth her energy. Certainly there was
