Poetry .
A SEW YEAR'S MUSISG . By T . J . SAVAIN . Another year hath wing'd its flight , Towards eternity , Some wait with anguish , some delight , The coming dawn to see .
Some hearts are bursting with the grief , Of episodes most sad , Others whose trials have . been more brief , Have reason to feel glad . Some now at lov'd one's couches wait , And strive to ease the pain Of those whom 'tis decreed by fate ,
May never rise again . They Avatch the sufferer's closing eye , Grow hourly yet more dim ; They hear the faint voice sav " Good-bye , " I go to dwell with Him /' 0 , bitter trial when ties of love ,
Are sunder'd thns apart , Nought but the grace of One above , Can soothe the mourner's heart . Such wait the coming of the dawn , With tears and plaints of woe , Others who greet this New Year ' s morn , No such affliction know .
Then let all those whom God hath blest , Feel for their neighbour's grief , And strive to lull that grief to rest , With pity's kind relief . Thus may we as the years roll past , Grow each year yet more kind , That when our own trial comes at last , We may be found resigned .
And Avhen in losing those we love , We feel affliction ' s rod , O ! may our thoughts ascend above , And point the way to God .
Let Us Help One Another.
LET US HELP ONE ANOTHER .
Through trials hard to bear When our fainting souls sink low , In the brighter times of joy , When our happiest spirits flow , Let us help one another . In childhood ' s heedless paths , When our sorrows quickly fly ,
In sturdy manhood ' s prime , When before us fortunes lie , Let us help one another . As brothers let us stand , Both the week and the strong , For the right let us battle Against might and
wrong—Let us help one another . Staunch let us ever be In sickness or health , Forsaking no brothers AVho need of our wealth—Let us help one another . Let us help one another
Through weal and through woe , Let us ne ' er forget kindness Wherever we go , But help one another . JA C «
