o o o Q O o o c 1 : M THE ENTERPRISE. OKEGOa (Il'V, OREGON, J.L. 1, 1S75. Happy Nw A' car. r.O The old" year is gone, and number ed among its predecessors. As the clock struck twelve last night, a new year was heralded into existance, vhicli will soon ho numbered among the iast. The year just closed has been marked by no 'very extraordi nary events, and with tho exception of the evil effects of a Hadical nation al Administration, no great disaster O lia befallen our country. But in this respect, tho iieople have shown O unmistakable evidence of awakening from their lethargy, which gives us reason to expect a better condition of affairs in the future. The year of 1871 is gone. "We can never recall one moment of it that i3 past. It his gone with its joys and its sorrow A Many who be gan tho year witllus, joyous and happy, have pass-f from earth to heaven.' Many have been the heart burnings, sorrows, anxieties and O cares of those yet liviug to be mown down by the scythe of time. It is a fitting time to remember that it is our acts here that will stamp and define our characters uoiu here and hereafter. Tho book of time, nsGpage after page is turned over, shows onr credits for good deeds and of debit for bad ones. How many of us luive, by careful thought, examined our balance sheet? IIowmauy have, from past experi ence, determined to live better in the future? Do our lives in the past reilect the light of compassion, good will toward our fellow-men? If so, we are a blcs.-iing to the communi ty? On tho other hand, if we are cherishing unkindly feelings, ha tred aud malice, wo are sowing to tlie wim d. and wil ble, miseil reap nothing but trouble and wretched- ne.".s. Tho beginning o,' new year is a good time to begin with new resolu tions for the better. If we havo good health and are desirous of pre serving it, let us live in honest com pliance with the laws which will tend to preserve it. We all rejoice, or wo ought to, fur the mauy priv ileges we have enjoyed in the past the many happy New Years we have boon permitted to enjoy. "We hope that our many rea jers may enjoy yet many more, and a A page after page of the new year I turned into tho past, may we eacvAnd all rejoice in tho fact that wo V ve been permitted to live and eujoj better and truer lives, and as age creeps on us, may the passage of time admonish us to prcparo for the great and endless future. Many a houselold has been the recipients of joys for tho past year. The future is all Wight before them and the'pat is full of joys, yet no mortal known whr.t is in store for them before anocher year passes away. Many a household has been desolated and dear ones havo passed away from the cares and sorrows of O this life. To them the past J'oar has no joys and is full of sad memories. They cannot look with auy feeling of joy on the past. Tor them, we trust the future may be brighter, and that tho sorrows which they have expe rienced will all be buried with the Old Year, and that their future may be full of sunshino and happi ness. To our "reader7 and friends, we wish a Happy New Year. May we continue the friendly relations ex isting between u.:-. May all enjoy many more New Years, is the wish of the Kn't mirnisK. v Jo d Papers and Hooks.

Durin" ' his absence he oiyuuized and re orgcnh'.ed clove a (rood Terrmlar . JOUg s aud visited thirty-seveu, vS.'v i X The Death of the Old Year. Geo. D. Prentice gave expression to the following eloquent sentiments on the death of the Old Year, which are so beautiful and" replete with sen timent that we reproduce them near ly a quarter of a century after they were first printed in the Louisville Journal : "The Old Year will vanish. From tho highest summit of the Night, amid mourning shadows draped in white vapors, and the wild dirge of the winds, he will take his last leap with a shriek of triumph that will echo among tho stars liko the scream of an eagle among the dazzling peaks of the Alps. lie will go. The glorious old prophet will prophesy to our fond hopes no more. He will sleep with his fathers in the pale cemetery of the Fast, and as phodels will soon spring thick about his tomb. lie will sleep the deep still sleep that knows no dreams and no waking. And oh, what myriads of tender hopes will sloop with him. We do not marvel that all hearts should melt iu one soft, sweet wail of grief for the dear departed. He will lie low in a shroud of sweetest memories. What a transcendent mystery is death! And how fraught with tears in even its gentlest and most beauti ful forms. The perishing of a cho sen flower, tho decay of a cherished plant, the fading of a summer cloud on which the 030 and fancy have for a time been rivited, the -close of a bright day, brimming with enchant ing experiences, the extinction of a moteor that blazes in the heavens for a moment and bursts brilliantly iuto nothing, the fleeting away of a sun beam or of a shadow, tho doom of anything that attracts and fixes tho soul, though for an instant, and then vanishes forever, is charged and full laden with "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears." Death, purely as such, is full of exquisite solemnity. The simple idea of the cessation of existence is one of the most sublime and touching that the soul can conceive. It drives tho mind back upon itself with a sud den flash of inspiration that lights up the dim bearings of humanity as a blaze of lightning illumines a tem ple in the night. It awakens in the soul a thrilling sense of awe and wonder and fascination. It holds up a flaming torch to tho inaccessible heights of tho spirit, and sheds a momentary brightness across their settled mystery. It is sublimely sail. But if the bare conception o? passing away is thus strangely im pressive, how deeply mournful must bo the passing away of an object robed in. the loveliest associations, and lacerating, as it goes, the heart's rich and delicate affections. If death, in itself, is sad, how exquisitely sad must it be in all things else that are most fair and blest. Such, and so deliciously mournful, is the death of tho vanishing Old Year, We feel not only that something is about to cease to be, but that a lamp of joy and beauty will soon go out in the clear gazo of men. We are raised in a twinkling, to a sense of immeasura ble and irreclaimable loss. We per ceive, as if in tho revelation of a sin gle glance, that another chaplet of pearls has slipped ofc the nnclasped necklace of life, and sunk irrecover ably into tho depth of Time that another argosy has gone down on the shoreless sea, freighted with the overflowing wealth of human hearts; that a whole galaxy of beaming stars have shot, one by one, from their stations in the sky, and been quench ed in the eternal wave that a full anth'em is lost from the majestic cho ral song of Nature. Well, indeed, may all hearts blend in one soft plaint above tho graTO of a buried year, for much, oh, how much! of the joy and beauty aud sweet ventures of 1 all hearts are buried with it. But, notwithstanding our pardon able regret that we are so much near er tho tomb, the final homo of all of woman born, because of the deca dence of the Old Year, we welcome the new. We greet it as the fore runner of a more genial aud enlight ened era in the history of mankind. A period in which rational quarrels shall cease, and the apparently di verse interests of people bo settled by friendly arbitration, instead of being decided by the two often un just influence of physical superior ity. We welcome it as a period that brings us yet nearer to the hoped-for Scriptural time when "the wolf, also shall dwell with tho lamb, and the loopard shall lie down with tho kid; and tho calf and the young Hon and the fatling togother, and a little child shall load them."
