NEW YEAR*GREETING. “ Ring out the old, King in the new. King out the false, King in the true.” The Old Year has passed away: for yesterday a cold wind came moaning bv, carrying the «lying Year to its last rest ing place; and with a wail piteous to bear Mealed its tomb, and came very near losing itself among the mist-folded hills; so near at least, it did not return till the blithe New Year was ushered in. Ah ' yes, the dear Old Year is dead. I wonder how many mourners were at its burial, and helped to seal its tomb with sighs and tears; and how many planted in the damp of blighted hopes and smitten joys, flowers that will some day burst into glorious life, and bloom thrughout the long, long years to come.
