PINE: sad the noisy
echoing clock
v Tells the last
stroko and then
is dumb.
Grim taps thai
sharp on time's
breast knock
Where the lost
yearUef oold and
numb;
Breaks a charred
fagot od the
hearth
And sings the ket-
tle from the
crane.
While high above
the shrouded
earth
Dims the far moon
toward its wane.
Ten; and the sharp-
dog's yawn
Gleams) cavernous beside the coals,
And flickering shadows, faintly drawn,
Dance lightly to the rafter poles;
And royal In her mottled fur
And lengthened curve of caudal sweep,
With muffled and recurrent purr,
The ancient house-cat dozes deep.
Eleven; and the Jarring strokes
Come harshly an a warning will;
Outside, the giant naked oaks,
Snow girdled, stand all white and still;
And like to ships the wan clouds pass
Across the lone moon's argent shield
While, down below, the frozen grass
Lies dead within a frozen acid.
.Twelve; and upon my feet I stand
1 And fling aside the unread book,
f For ghosts rise up on every hand
; , As backward o'er the days Hook.
Aye I warp of fate, and woof of life,
1 What matters, since but death shall spin.
Falls the last stroke, a severing knife
The old year's out, the new year's In,

A NEW YEAR'S WISH.
X wish you b happy New Year ! May roses strew
your way,
And paths be glad and peaceful on which yoo
start to-day.
May golden shafts of sunshine bring Just a
little rain.
And gracious gifts of pleasure hold Just a shade
of pain.
(For skies are fairer which the clouds may
sometimes overcast,
.And pleasures are the best which come when
grief and pain are past.
And if among your roses the ivy is entwined
Your heart will beat the nearer to the heart of
, all mankind.
X wish you a happy New Year I Ah I who could
wish you less;
Xay all the tender charities that heal and
soothe and bless
Se scattered at your feet like flowers, and may
you e'er Impart
TTo all the weary souls of men the Joy within
your heart.
' For hearts that hold no love know not the Joy
it Is to live;
Out lives are measured by the Joys which we
to others give.
Way charity and kindliness your life and mine
Imbue.
Sly Joys shall be the brighter for the Joys t
wish to you.
