You (filin' to us joyfully, ixiorold year, With singing and tinging and hearty good cheer. And the sweet rosy lips of children y rung, Litqted “Happy New Year!” in their ■soft baby tongue. And grey headed sires, laughed loud at your birth. Ami glad mother- and daughters, join ed in the mirth, A hundred dimpled hands rose high in glee. To clap a joyful welcome, old year to thee. And many a hearthstone long had lieen still, Where once little feet pattered rouud at their will. Rut you brought back the sunshine, poor old year, The absent ones gathered round the hearth so dear. lfow loudly the bells pealed forth their sweet chimes. And tile school U>y shouted his mer riest rhymes, The streets were all stir, and hustle, and noise. With thejolliest voices of girls, and hoys. And many a young girl, pretty and bright, •Smiled over her journal, on that “New Year's Night,” As she wrote with high hopes, feeling so strong, “Now this year. I'll Ik? good and do nothing wrong.” “I'll study to improve this bright young mind, 1 'll try hard to lie good, and gentle, and kind, whereever duty Calls, I'll go with joy. And one tiling is sure, I'll not tlirtwith a boy.'' Dear girl! hearts much older than your’s, felt strong, And hopefully thought they would give up the wrong, Now, old year, unfold thyself, let us see, Before wesliall say. our last good-by to thee. Well, where arc the lips, so rosy and bright, That chattered and smiled, to see the New Year’s light. Some of them still lisp in their Imhy way. But the restare talking in Heaven to day. And the round dimpled fingers, where are they f Home of them are busy, with their dolls at play, Rut some grew tin tI, and now they are still, in Heaven, I guess, they are doing IUH will. There are mothers who complained, of tile noise. Made by the boots of the merry footed loys. Rut now they would give worlds, to hear once more, A hoy s muddy trampon their nursery floor. The fair young girls—let us sec—there are some, Who forgot thesweet claims of mother and home, They kept their word, “did not flirt with a boy,” Rut said yet. and stuck to it, much to their joy. And the hearts of the old folks now are sad, Which at this year's birth, were so merry and glad. They miss a light step in parlor and hall, And no daughter answers to poor mother's call. And the still small voice “has whisp ered to some,” And the Spirit has echoed the sweet word "come!” But alas! like the gentle dew at morn, While the}- were busy here and there it was gone. ZEPIIVR. Signs or Business Improvement. —The New York Bulletin says: One of the best signs of the times is that loans are lieginning to approach a nor mal rate of interest. A year ago. the lianks were in no stronger position than at present and yet the rate of in terest was only S(a 4 per cent, on call loans; now “call’’ borrowers have to pay 0(r/7 per cent. This implies a more active demand for funds ; and the increased demand comes chiefly front mercantile borrowers, the wants of the Stock Exchange being very lim ited. r PAKE SIMMONS’ LIVER REG ; A ULATOR. : For all <.lisea*«*i» of the Liver, Stomach and Spleeu.
