RECITATION FOR JANUARY 1, 1886.
THE NEW YEAR.
IT tolls from the tower, a midnight strain,
Tolls the bell, telling us well
That "Eighty-five" has gone away;
That he ended his life this very day.
That he could with us no longer stay.
Ah, solemnly sounds the sad refrain,
As the tolling bell doth the sad news tell.
A NEW YEAR'S BREAKFAST.
