DEATH OF THE OLD YEAR. BY FRANK GRAnAM. Upon his couch of state the Old Year lies, A stricken conqueror never more to rise; The purple of the melancholy past In flowing round him while he ebbeth fast; Beside him rest his sceptre and his crown Oh royally the old year goeth down. All calin we stand beside his dying bed, No tears-no tears above his death we shed; Beneath his iron footstep he hath crushed The living ranks that to his rescue rushed; And like a tyrant he hath trodden down The noblest vassals of his regal crown. His hurried march bath rendered Pere and bare The lives that once like magic gardens were Like flowers that fall the hoary frost before, The homes and dreams he touched return no more: His steps hath been upon our bleeding hearts, We should be false to weep as he departs. Fold back the heavy curtain from the pane, The midnight moon looks brightly down again, But ere her splendors light another sky The Old Year in his solemn grave will lie The Old Year, pause! that mighty name hath power To strike us pale in life's most brilliant hour. The pulses of his heart are almost past The cold sepulchral stone will seal him fast, Yet in the soul's best chamber darkly lies, The portrait of the year with haunting eyes: The monarch of the earth lose power with breath, But time, old time, is strong long after death. There lieth gloom upon his stormy brow, Through coming years to make our spirits bow; And strength within those stern and solemn eys The strength to waken slumbering agonies; Upon his image lie hath wreaked a spell A spell of imemory dark as hope's farewell. The stars roll onl ; their cold eyes never weep, E'en though the year lies in his last sleep The royal year that front the spirit land, Caime down to wear the purple of command All crowned with mirth he came-with song and wine lis reign on all bath marked a weary sign. Tihe heavens are still, as by death's cloudy slhoro' The angels stood to bear the Old Year o'er; But earth rings loud and clear her joyous slout The reign of the old year is almost out; A nother of the princely years of time Will don the mantle stained with grief and crime. The sun may now a brighter promise wear Be still. oh earth! the Old Year was as fair; The angels stand to guard us from his frown They cannot take away his kingly crown; Sadly they niourn our grinding cares to see i They speak-" Itedemption's in eternity." "I KNOW I'M OLD." 'I know I'm old-mg strength declines, A id wrinkles tell the touch of Tiime Yet might I fancy these the signs, Lt of decay, but manhood's prime: For all wiii is young and glowing, Spite of old age's outward showing! Yes, I ai old : the dance the song, Gay crowds and sports no moro allure; I shun tihe gay and giddy throng: Yet, al t how far more sweet ind pure I imi's tranquil joys and mental treasures, . Thant Dissipation's proudest pleasures. * Yes, I am old : A mbition's call, Fanmie, wealth, distinetion's keen p'ursuit, Thlat once could chi-~im and cheat mie-all A re n:,w detected, passive, mte: Think God Ime Passions and their riot Ate bartered for conitent atnd quiet, 'Yes, I amt oldI : but as I press Theli vale of years with willing feet, Still do I find life's sorrow's less, Atind all its hallowed joys more sweet: Since Tinme, for every rose lie snatches, T akes fifty thorns, w ithm all their scratches. When will the War End ? 'Thlis question must find its solution in the extent of thme pride and obstinacy of the Einglishm and Freneb G overnments. When they consent to yield to the exigency and, at some expense of wounded vanity, ac knowledge that they hatve undertaken more than they arc capable of accomp)lishintg and( are williing to recede from their position, then tltere will be a prospect of peace then there w'ill doubtless be peace. Bnt if the war is to end only whten Rtmssia is whip pecd atnd huimbled, the youngest man among us may not live to see the end of it. Rus sia intends to plant her standard upon the walls of Constantinople and to secure an outlet for her commerce to the Mediterra nean. She will fight on until she secures thte latter object by treaty, and the allied powers had as well prepare themselves for this result. If they persist in denying her this givilege, they must calculate to fight on as~ long as their men, their money and their credit last, and the issue will be finally the conquest and absorption of Turkey by Russia. Some idea of the means, the resources and the spirit of Russia may be formed from the following - extract of a letter from an American gentleman in St. Petersburg to Prof. Morse, at Poughkeopsie, N. Y., pub. ished in the Poughkeepsie Teleg raph. " I anm here alone, sitting by a snug fire, writing to my friends in Amaricn, occasion ally casting a glance out of the window at the glittering domes of one of the chturches. " The gold on domes of the church umounts to fifteen bushels of solid metal, of millions of value. When completed, I am told that this church will have cost at least six hundred milliotns of dollars! I thought that I had seen the geatest wonders of Eu rope, but in comparison I had really seen nothing. In some of the churches, the rail ings around thme alters are of silver~and gold, is seen everywhere. " As to soldiers, there are thousands upon thousands. By spring there will be one million five hundred thousand ready for ser vice. The war, as far as Russia is concern ed, will never end, until Russia succeeds. The people are wvarm for the Emperor, and he never will give up. He has no troubje in procuring soldiers-indeed, he has to select from thousands that offer. More of fer their services than he at present need's, and he can easily add another million if necessary. The Church feels a-deep inter est in this war, and.L with the people it is a wvar of' Religion. The feeling of religion is at the bottom of it. I am sure of these facts. All the gold from the domes of the churches, and from their interior, and every dollar owned by the people, will be sacrific ed ere they give up. Such is their enthusi asm. These you may be sure are facts." When you go ta. drown yourself always put off' you clothes; they may be fit for ,-m,.ura e'necd husband. Meet Me in Heaven! Our attention has been forcibly arrested by the above message, recently sent by a dying girl of this city, to her schoolmaster. It is the province of editors to deal with serious things of time, and, light as scoffers may think of it, of eternity too. Much as we mingle in worldly excitements and in terests. our mind sometimes turn upwards and our hearts are pliant to the touch of sublime and holy thoughts, such as are sug gested by the words at the head of this arti cle, and we would avail ourselves of the privilege vested in us to press them home upon the young-especially those to whom they were addressed. " Meet me in Heaven !" What an invita tion from a child twelve years of age.-How much of pure affection, of holy love do these dying words embody. I am going to that happy home-that mansion prepared for me by my Heavenly Father, where even sorrow nor suffering exists, but where all is joy, and love, and bliss-meet me there! She could not realize the idea of perfect hap piness even in Heaven without her school mates. Even death could not wrest from her heart the fond affections, which wound and clustered round it. Spread out before her lies interminable space and an impenetrable future; she is about to enter alone into that mysterious pathway whose darkness has frightened many a sterner and older heart, yet she trembles not, falters not, relying upon the promise of One in whom she has unbounded confidence, she turns to her weeping schoolmates, and with affectionate thoughtfulness, bids them to tell those who are absent to " Meet her in Heaven !" There is no doubt-no uncer tainty ; she is going to Heaven-to eternal happiness, and she invites her friends to meet her there and share in her joy. 0, who can doubt the reality of that heaven to which she so confidently 'invites her young friends ? Who can doubt that its veiled mysteries had been, for a moment ,it may be, exposed to her view, that the gates of that eternal abode had been thrown open, and the departed spirit invited to look on Him who has said " Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of [leaven." What but the spirit of Divine grace could have nerved a young heart to the dread encounter with death ? What but Divine assurance could have stimulated that certainty of Heaven. What but infinite Love could have prompted that inv'itation "Meet me in Heaven ?" And you, her schoolmates, will you not try to meet her there ? Her blessed spirit is even now looking down from its abode of bliss bpon you; perchance her angel voice is interceding for you. If with an imperfect earthly love, she desired you to meet her in Heaven, who can realize the longing of that perfect love which, descending from on high, whispers--" come !" Will you not go You know her so well here, who loved her so well here, should endeavor to know and love her in Heaven. We may have opened a new the fountain of grief and called forth a silent tear; but 0, if it should be sanctified to the hope of that dying girl and induce those whom she so fondly loved here to seek her in Heaven, we could not regret the momentary sorrow which ministers to eternal happiness. Let the words of affection be engraved upon the hearts of those schoolmates to whom they were addressed, and let their life mission be to prepare the wa'y for a glorious and never ending happy reunion in Heaven. Gritfin (Ga.) Union. Te Decencies of Life. There are persons in the wvorld, who in order to screen themselves from the charge of extravagance and folly, try to do it under the plea of decency. Those persons will commit many acts, wvhich, if they had true ideas or decency, they would hesitate to perpetrate. We think the following are a few of the many practises that conie under the cognomen of not dccent : It is niot decent for a person to make a showv above his or her meanas. It is not decent for a person to run in debt when he does not intend to pay. It is not decent for a person to be always talking ill of their neighbors. It is not decent to ascribe improper mo tives to every one wve come ini contact with. It is not decent for one to appropriate others pecuniary means for their own grati 6cat ion. It is not decent for young people to show no respect to the aged. It is not decent to be praising yourself always. It is not decent to keep yourself as a show for others to look at. It is not decent in persons going to places of amusement to incommode others in vari ous wavs. It is not decent to spend your money in foolishness, when you have debts that ought to be paid. It is not decent to starve your family by spending your money for liquor. It is not decent to say one thing and mean another. it is not decent to cheat your neighbor, because you happen to have a little more knowledge than he is possessed of. It is not decent to b)e borrowing papers when you can get an excellent paper for the trifling sum of two dollars a year. Wives Save Your Husbands. The following should be read by every woman in the country, married or unmarried yes, itshould be committed to memory and repeated three times a day, for it contains moetuhthan many volumes that have been wvritten on the subject: " How often wve hear men say, I am go. ing to California, Australia, or somewhere else.-Y ou ask him the'reason of his going away ,and the answer is, in nine cases out of ten, I am not happy at home. I have been unfortunate in business, and I have made up my mind to try mj. luck in Cali fornia. The world seems to go against me, While fortune favored me," there were those whom I thought to be my friends, but when the scale turned, they also turned the cold shoulder against me. My wife, she that should have been the first to have stood by me, and encouraged me, was first to point the finger of scorn and say it is your owvn fault, wvhy has not this or that one been so unfortunatei If you had attended to your business as they have, you would not be where you are now. Tihese and other like insinuations, often drive a man to find other society, other pleasures in consequence of being unhappy at home, He may have chil dren that he loves; he cannot enjoy life with them as lhe would ; he may love them as dearly as ever; yet home is made unpleas ent in consequence of that cold indifference of the wife. Now I would say'9b all such wives, sisters and in fact, all feinales, deal gently with him that is in trouble ; remem ber that he is very easily excited. A little word carefully thrown out may inflict a wound time never can heal. Then be catn tinus, a man is but human--therefore lie is liable to err. If you see him going wrong, ever meet him with a smile, and with the kiss of affection; show that you love him by repeated acts of kindness; let your friend ship be unbounded; try to beguile his un happy hours in pleasant conversation. By so doing you may save yourself and chil. dren from an unhappy future. When a man is in trouble it is but a little word that may ruin him, it is but a little word that may save him.-Merchants Led ger. "ins~ PARTINGToN.-"Don't act so, Isaac, dear, said Mrs. Partington, as lke was raising particu lar about the kitchen, and throwing every thing into confusion, in a vain attempt to find his ball. "People, by'n by, will say you are non pom pour mentis, as they did about poor Mr. Smith. The doctor says you are of the rebellious san guinary temperature, and heaven knows what you would do if It should have a tendency to the head-perhaps you'd die of a buggestion of the brain." Ike jumped down from the table, on which he had left the prints of the nails in his shoes, and went out, and the good dame shook her head mournfully as she saw him clam bering over a fence and a high shed, when he could just, as well have gone out at the gate.
