NEW-YEARS GIFTS

January 1st

The day of the month came into my mind as soon as I awoke. Another yearis separated from the chain of ages, and drops into the gulf of the past!

The crowd hasten to welcome her young sister. But while all looks areturned toward the future, mine revert to the past. Everyone smiles uponthe new queen; but, in spite of myself, I think of her whom time has justwrapped in her winding-sheet. The past year!--at least I know what shewas, and what she has given me; while this one comes surrounded by allthe forebodings of the unknown. What does she hide in the clouds thatmantle her? Is it the storm or the sunshine? Just now it rains, and Ifeel my mind as gloomy as the sky. I have a holiday today; but what canone do on a rainy day? I walk up and down my attic out of temper, and Idetermine to light my fire.
