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.

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."
