" KFrom anolher correspondent The old year, hoary with the snows of age, exhausted with the labors of its own life and tottcring under its weight of days, is standing upon the brink of the grave. In many a rustic church and solemn cathedral the bells will soon ;ring the old year out and the new year in. The passing year is full of solemn admonition, as it brings to mind the rapid flight of time. ‘The months come and go upon the wings of the wind, the years go by like shadows on a dial. The great belJ of Time swinging in the dome of space is tolling away our years and one by one they ring out upon the air and float away into eternity. May the young New Year rise out of the ashes of cruel, devastating war and usher in the thousand years of peace. ‘ 99 Mr and Mrs J. 0.
