A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY.
If a man is determined to make a
noise in the world, he Is as sure to en
counter abuse and ridicule, as he who
gallops furiously through a village
must reckon on being followed by the

MR. HAYNE’S POEM.
The following exquisite poem of
Mr. William H. Ha.vne appeared, ap
propriately illustrated, in the Sunday
' New York Herald:
Old Year, Good By!
Old year, good-by! Time bids thee
ate —
The final hour is drawing nigh—
And veiled in mist, or wan w-ith snow.
Old year, good-by!
Pledge me at parting one brief sigh.
Touched with the tender afterglow
Of days that blossomed but to die.
Beyond our present joy and woe
Horizons of the future lie —
Whither thou goest none may know—
Old year, good-by!
