CK STRIKE TWELVEAT NIGHT, DECEMBER 31. Knell of departed years,Thy voice is sweet to me;It wakes no sad foreboding fears,Calls forth no sympathetic tears, Times restless course to see;From hallowd groundI hear the soundDiffusing through the air a holy calm around. Thou art the voice of Love ;To chide each doubt away;And as the murmur gently dies,Visions of past enjoyments riseIn long and bright array:I hail the sign,That love divineWill oer my future path in cloudless mercy shine. Thou art the voice of Hope; The music of the spheres—A song of blessing yet to come,A herald from my future home, My soul delighted hears: 116 By sin deceived,By nature grieved,Still am I nearer rest than when I first believed. Thou art the voice of Life;A sound which seems to say,O prisoner in this gloomy vale,Thy flesh shall faint, thy heart shall fail;Yet fairer scenes thy spirit hail,That cannot pass away;Here, grief and painThy steps detain,There, in the image of the Lord, shalt thou with Jesus reign.

117 SINGULAR ANIMALS We here present our readers with accurate re-presentations of two animals that have never beenseen in this country. The first is the Sukotyro,of which there is only one species known. It hasan upright mane, which is short and narrow, reach-ing from the top of the head to the rump. Niew-hoff, a Dutch traveller, who visited the East Indiesin 1563, describes it as about the size of an ox; thesnout like that of a hog; the ears long and rough ;the tail thick and bushy; and the eyes placed up-right in the head, quite differently from those ofother quadrupeds. From each side of the head,near the ears, project two long horns, like tushes.It feeds on grass and herbs, and is very difficult totake. Some naturalists doubt, however, whethersuch an animal exists. 118 The other is the Cape Cat. This animal has along tail with black rings; the ears are erect, andedged with white. It is about the size of a dog;and its coat is of a bright tawny colour, varied andstriped like a tige
