January.
The year's last star
Has paled afar
Within the shadowed West,
With bygone sighs,
Each phantom lies '
Hushed to eternal rest.
And all is calm.
Beneath the balm
Of January's snows,
The dawn grows bright
With New Year's light,
The world forgets its woes.
In beauty new
With crystal dew,
The trees a-glilter stand,
The sun's fair beams
Bring New Year'g dreams
And smiles o'er all the land. -
New hope, new life",
Is in the strife,
And failure's haunting voice,
Is swept away,
As breaks the day
That bids the heart rejoice.

torpid bowels, a sluggish liver
and a general feeling of ill health
despondency and misery. This is
almost every instance is wholly
unnecessary. - une or unamber
