Good-bye Old Year, Nireloome NeW
3Y JOHN IMBIB, TOBONTO.
Listen 1 'tie the midnight bell,
Tolling out the old year's knell;
O'er our hearts there comes a spell
Such as when we say—"Farewell 1"
So we ponder o'er the past
Eyes are dim and overcast,
Silent falls full many a tear
As we part with thee—Old Year!
Seasons come and seasons go,
Summer flowers and Winter's snow,
Like the ocean's ebb pnd flow,—
Joy and pain, and weal and woe!
Birthday greetings—glad and gay—
Wedded hearts were linkid for aye;
Not a churchyard—but a mound
Tells what reaperDeathhath found.
'Yet we welcome thee—New Year,
And approach thee without fear, .
Though we know not what may be
Portioned out for us in thee;
Let whop, and watch, and. pray,
Growing whiter day by day,
Learning lessons from the past—
As this year may be our last)
Though the Old Year now mud go,
Shrouded in a sheet of now!
May the snoW an emblem be
Of the New Year's purity 1
As our footsteps in the snow
Show the path our feet fnay go,
Let each day our record be,—
Drawing nearer, God, to Thee 1

There are some minds which trouble them-
selves with the fear lest their present life
and its natural affix:don should be irrecov-
erably lose in the future world. The places
and circumstance seem so indefinite, and
must be so different from the present, that
they are tossed in unoerhiinty. Will they
meet their blends again so as to know them
or will they not be separated from them by
the vast expanses of than world, and by the
varied courses they may •have to pursue?
We may have our thoughts about these
things tranquillized, if we bring them into
connection with Christ. Our eternal life
begins In unison with Him, and it must for-
ever so continue. If we are gathered
round him in Heaven, and knew Him and
are known of Him, this Will ensure as iac-

A Fool and HIS Money.
One man at the end of the season (says
Viscount Milton in speaking of the extrava-
gance of some Austnelianminers) found him-
self possessed of thirty or forty thousand
dollars. Having filled his pockets with %I-
dolisr gold pieces, on his awned be Victoria
he proceedecl to a bar -room and treated die
crowd to chempagne. The company present
being unable to consume all the barkeeper's
stook, assistance was obtained from without,
and the passera-by compelled to come in.
Still the supply held one, and nob another
drink could anyone swallow. In the enter-
genoy the ingenious giver of the treat order-
ed every glass belonging to the eseablishment
to be brought oub and filled. Then, raising
his stick, witb. one fell avroop he knocked
the army of gloms off the counter. One
hamper of champagne, however, yet remain-
ed, and, determined not to be beaten, he
ordered it to be opened and placed on the
floor, and, jumping in, stamped the bottles
to pieces beneath his heavy hoots, severely,
cutting his shins in the operation • but al-
though the champagne was at lad finished,
he had a handful of goldpiecas to dispose of,
and walking up to a large mirror, worth
several hundred dollars, which adorned one
end of the room, dashed a shower of heavy
cobs against it and shivered it] to /shoes.
