THE OLD AND NEW YEARS, 1870-1871.
A correspondent sends us tho following carol, written by A. Gatty in 1870, which ho met with in an old book of songs for children:— Go out, Old Yecr, bo stained with blood; Com® ltt, New Year, with peace and good: The widows ana th© orphans' tear O wipe away, thou coming; year. ' Old Year, begone, New Year, recall Peace and goodwill to all. What scenes, Old thy memories yield— The dead upon the battle-field, The leaguered town, the village burned Tho city starved, the throne o'erturnod Old Year, begone, New Year, recali Peace and goodwill to all. Old Year, depart, and with thee go All Bounds and scenes of war and woeCome in, new Year, with heavenly pease, And make this strife of nations ccose Old Year, begono, New Year, recall , Peace and goodwill to all.
