Nil miner, and fall of another j ei T Yes, 1870 draws near itsei'd. Snow flakes will soon be flying to weave Its burial robe. Soon it will be folded away In Ihe past, never again In be seen by us except with memory's eyes. What shall we say of Ihe past year? What has It bnuglit to mi ? To some of us, deep J iy pwrhaps In happy marrlaue bells, perhaps in precious baby eyea, tiiat arejust learning lo answer Inving smiles; pei haps in the blessing of a friend whom one year ago we did not know. It may be some dark cloud, that lias lung brooded over our lives has this year been Dispelled; it may be that, anxiety and care have giveu place to rest and peace. Tbwse whom are thus blessed, God grant to them an added blessing. Upon others sorrow's lot has fallen. Death hap come and taken away our der est and best beloved. Cups of untastid joy have been dashed to the ground. Per haps sweet baby voices are forever hushed. Pfrbaps parents weep for chil dren, and children ery out for father or mother. Dear mourning friends tbe Christmas bells will break your beans, for memory will ritig among their chimes tbe bells nf other days when your beloved were with you. God bleu and comfort you, for He only can. Christmas is at hand tbe time of peaoe and good will. It is also the time of beau tiful extiavagance, when our hearts grow warm together, and all our kind Impulses rise to warm other hearts and scatter seeds of joy. It Is the lime when we spend our hard earned money as tl.ounh ilhad fallen like manna from heaven. We are royally generous. It la weil that, in memi ry of a blessed birlb in Bethlehem our hearts should thus be filled with love and kind ness.
