EIGHTEEN HUNDRED SEVENTY-NINE,

By Mrs. Eliza W. Jones

We've bid farewell to many a cherished dream, That rose amid the shadows of the year agone, And which we fondly hoped would realized have been, Ere yet the old year rested in the silent tomb.
But God has kindly spared our ill-spent life, And stand we yet upon the shores of time; With new resolves to battle mid the strife, And higher up life's toilsome ladder climb.
Oh! Eighteen Seventy-Nine, what record wilt thou bear Of all we've planned and purposed now to do? Some angel softly smiles who hears our prayer, And whispers gently, “To thy God be true.” MRS. ELIZA W. JONES.
