ACROSTIC.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! joyous greeting; And the words, though lightly spoken, Prophesy a future meeting, Perfect in its bond unbroken. Yonder where the bright immortals Never leave their home of rest, Earth's redeemed, at heaven's portals, Wait to greet each coming guest. Years may bring their weight of sorrow, Ere shall dawn that glorious day, And the sun of that blest morrow Rise to shine with cloudless ray. Trust me then, with faith unswerving, On the Saviour's precious word, And with zeal his cause still serving, Let us wait our coming Lord, Lest we lose the rich reward. —Occident.
