dethroned was by death. He would ab
dicate for none. So Imperious was he
every one had to bow daily to his
scepter. So commanding, he compell
ed his name written at the head of
" every letter, contract, or other mat
ter of formal legality. He has had
numerous predecessors; they have not
all been so haughty, for all nations
had not always been under his sway.
Bo pompous in authority has this an
nual ruler berome that poets have
paid him honors unusual. The passing
rf the year Is so like a funeral that it
has thus been noticed by the bards.
The coming of the new one seems n
happy birth.

The echo fading from the chime
Again the shadow moveth o're

The sum of all since time began
The birth and death the Joy and pain

Yes. the year is growing old,
And his eye Is pale and bleared!
Death with frosty hand and cold,
Plucks the old man by the beard,

Lord Tennyson also writes in "In

"Ring out the old, ring In the new,
Ring Happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the fake, ring in the true."

Tor lords and kings I dinna mourn;

Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote touoh-

For the year Is but asleep.
Bee, it smiles as it Is sleeping,
Mocking your untimely weeping."
