A year's good wishes in prose and poetry . t voices thesouVs aspiration for the far-off unattainableand dim/ or simply reflects the passing capriceof an idle hour. It has been a curious and interesting studyto collect, from random sources, the wishes,common or quaint, simple or philosophical,sentimental or practical, wise or otherwise, thatappear herein. Many of them are merely littleinterjectional fancies, snap-shot photographs ofthe mind, when, for a moment, it is off guard;other selections contain the embodied wisdom ofthe ages. Caught up from here, there, and everywhere,as the wind of popular favor has drifted them,many of these wishes are waifs, nameless andunclaimed; but wherever the authorship of aselection could he ascertained, it has been dulycredited. Apologising if, unintentionally, anyindividual rights have been touched upon inthe use of such poems or extracts, I offerthe volume to the public, hoping that it mayprove as interesting in the reading as it hasbeen in the making, MARTHA C OLIVER, Jacksonville, i f% /, 4r
