NEW YEAR THOUGHTS.

' ee

}

Another swell of Time's broad surging sea, Sinks to the vortex of the gelden past ; As annual waves which float on memory The good and evil on their bosoms cast, So sweep the freighted, sure evolving years, Rafting oft blighted hopes, bejewelled things { aud fears.

Profusely scattered o'er its changeful tide, A million moments running o'er with joy, | Spangle and gem that sea un«nopied, And twice revive their blis without alloy. | So sweep the freighted, sure revolving yeurs, Rafting off blighted hopes, bejewelled things and fears.

Though sometimes. o'er that wave dark tempests scow led,

Aud meeting waters clashed their angry might, | Though sometimes sorrow, wo, or grief have | yrow led j }

Around the tossing life-bark in the night,

smiled, ' Goodness bas been gracious to erring nature's child.

Thongh deep the soundings were where breaker’s tossed,

Ard immolating besoms frowned above, Thoagh struggling life-barks grazed a rugged coaat,

High o'er the gloom streamed out God's lamp of love.

And dissipating clouds revealed the darkness through

The calm and pesceful refuge to the gladdemed View, Above that yearling wave's uplifted crest, Borne out in bold relief agaiust the void, | Are shuttered skeletons, far o'er its brenst Scattered aud strewr, of barks destroyed. They sent forth like fedgliugs yet umtrained o iy,

Aud tempest-hurled their weakness fed tle cupualty.

I sit by Time, and, mnsing, watch the wreck, Go drifting by upon the mystic sea ;

A aolenmn scene to hold in retrospect ; For mauy there were spirits known to me.

I wateb the fretted tide sweeping downward te its woal,

In vocal silence moving to the dread land of the soul.

Some forms are there whose advent promised bniyht,

Was ominous of naught but swift anceess ; Some from high places, with the goul in sight,

Mourned one false step, fell, ewallowed in dis- tress;

And some are there from lap of lwxury and ease,

Whelmed with the common brood of unblest destinies.

The wave tas passed!—oblivion’s seal is set! The year rolle by to Fate's eternal bourne ; Pale Morna stoops all bowed and desolate,
