;
We have just said goodbye to
another year, one that has brought
so many ehanges in our lives. Has
it been afbappy year, leaving hap
py hearts! And when we are old
will we recall this past year as one
full of . bSeauty, of goodness, of
holiness; pne that has made us bet-
ter and happier? That is a ques
tion no one, can answer. To some
it has been as happy and bright as
the s weet tno wers that bloom in the
first, glad Spring. Ho w gay hor
happy thsy are how lightly care
ind trouble have touched thsm!
To those lit will live until 4eath
claims them and shuts' out forever
the scenes of this life. But to
o the is, oh; who can tell what they
have suffered! There is one heart
that beat happily last ne w year,
but to-day how blank, how dreary
how purposeless that life seems.
A word lightly spoken transformed
a heart so tender and true to marble
Hopes sol pure have vanished,
passed into oblivion leaving a bro
ken and asted life. See how it
has struggled, tried to rise, but at
lastfell, conscious of defeat WHen
devth ionSs and stills forever the
heart, that has suffered and .felt
so much pain ; and the eyes that
have looked wearily through blind
ing tears, longing for . one littls
ray of hope; will not th'e one who
has inflicted tht wound, regret and
long" to call back the past? y From
my honest heart I hope 4 so. We
say one ; life, one hearty . but we
mean thousands of them. To those
the past ' year has been a dreary
blank and they rejoiced when the
last minute had passed. : Xjet : us
hope ,tbV present year may prore
to be happier, bringing i love and
joy to each and every one.
