A HAPPY HEW YEAR TO AIAm

A SRALXi TALK ABOt'T THHf At.

The yaar of our Lord 1868, with Ita Joya and sorrows, Ita oarea and pleaanm, ita burdens of griaf and glaaaoa oi happiness, haa paaaad Into eternity, and I860, young and blooming, haa rolled into the Taoant plaoe. And every body la glad ot tha change, for everybody waa tired of the old year, with Ita broken promiaaa and un ft notified hopes, of Ita terrible politioal excitement and hard tlmea, tired in foot with nearly everything belonging to It. It aeemed eminently proper, therefore, that when the old year died and the new year waa born, that the bells should ring out a merry peal; not a dirge or funeral chant to the metnory of 1868, but a laughing gleesonae chorus rejoicing tfiat it was dead,but r«iJotelng morethat 1869 waa born. And yet 1868 waa not a bad year. Time waa wheu the bella rang it in as joyfully as they have just rung Ita knell, and mankind was as glad over ita birth, as It now Is over its death. True, it brought shadow to many households, but It brought aunshlne to more. It carried away many of the loved and dear onea of the earth, but it brought with it new life, and strengthened and developed ipany who, in time to come, will be the idol and pride of their generation. It gave more than it received, and we have many things to be tbankful for; national peace and security, bountiful harvests, absence of disease aud a thousand other things. But the year of our Lord 1868 is in the dead past. What have we to do with itT It has gone forever. We can not mend or mar its eventa. Away with it. Cast ita foul, withered caroaaa Into the furthest corner of the potter's field, and there, where it will never trouble ua again, let it rot. We Want to pear no more of 1808, But the future is before usr 1869, smiling at our feet, is beckoning us on with visions of happiness, which more than realise the wildest dream of tha port. It promises mueb, this gay, young, frisky 1869, and 1st us go along with it and If Ita promises are kept any better than those ot other years. It may do much for us and it may do llttls, Just as we let it use us. Let's try it on. But 1869, in many respects, will not nffeot ua differently than 1800 or 1867, or puy other year. We’ve got to be fed and clothed and warmed and educated and cultivated the same as ever. We’ve gut to buy and sell and make and spend, to attend to buainesa Just the same as ever, and it seams to us that about the best thing a man can do on the first day of the year is think about th"*** things, to want to know, you know, hu,w matters afe to be managed for the next twelve months,' with what means lifo ia to be sustained and made happy. Iref? man ia depend' ent upon his neighbor for aomething or another, and so let ua look around this morning and see Wbat our neighbor* are doing, or gatapto do, in the coming year.

The succewfal management of the ACtna is a guarantee to its policy holders of a prompt and equitable payment of lowea, and with one of its policies, no nneasinew need be felt but that Its protection ft certain.
