TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 31, 1867. Thc Death of the Old Tear. BT iBMB TXKTTSO*. Full tn se deep hes the winter snow. And the winter w nds aro tl eerily sighing; Toll j? tho church-bell ssa ?nd shw. And tmad softly and speak low, Fjr the O d Year lies a dying. OH Year, ?ou must not die; You .-ame to us so readily, Y-u lived ?ith us so steadily. Old ?ear, you shall not dio. He lie th still; ho doth not move; Ho win not sro the dawn of day; He hath no other life abo? e: He gavo me a tri nd, and a true, true love, And tho New \ car will t ike \ m away. Old Year, you must not go; Ho long as you have been with us, Koch joy as you bave seen with us. Old Year, you shall not go. He frothed his bump w to t obrini; A jotl'er year wo shall not see; Bu: though his eyes are waxing dim. And though his foes speak ill ol' him, He was a ?riend to me. Old Year, you shall not die; We did so laugh and cry with you, I've hilf a mind to die with you, Old Year, 1: you must dio. He was full of jok" and jest, But all his merry qu ps are o'er. To see uim die, a ro.-- the waste HU son and h ir doth riua post-haste. But he'll be dead b -tore. Every one lor his own. The rnght is starry and cold, my lrlend. And the New Year, bhtae and bold, my friend, Comes r p to take his own. How hard he breathes I over the snow I heard just now the crowing cock. Tue shadows flicker to aud tro: Theene et chirps: the li?ht burns low: 'Tis nearly twelve o'clec :. Shako hands, before you die. Old Year, we'll dearly rue Tor you; WI at is lt wo can do for you ? Speak out, bet?re you die. His face ls growing sharp and thin. Alack I our friend is gone I Close up his eyes: ti- up his chlo: Step fi om the oorpso and let him tn That st?nde tb there alone. And wait' th at the door. There's a new foot on the floor, my friend. And a new ?ace at the door, my friend, A new taco st the door. To the Readers of the Dally New?-Our Kew Terms-The Cash System. The announcement that on and after the first of January the subscription price of THE DAILT NEWS will be reduced to Six Dollars a year has been received with many substantial marks of apprecii iion by the public, both in thc city and St-'e. But in order to publi?t a first-class paper at that low price, we shall be compelled, in future, to adhere rigorously to the cash sys? tem, and require, invariably, the rayment of subscriptions in advance. It should be gener? ally understood that everything required for the publication of a newspaper-composition, paper, press-work, labor, and expenses of every description-must unavoidably be paid for in CASH at the end of every week. If the credit system is tolerated, and subscribers neglect to pay promptly, the losses thus iu . curred by publishers in a little while become intolerably onerous and oppressive. There are hundreds, however, in our city who, though anxious to take a live newspaper, and willing to pay for it, can iii afford, at this time, even the small outlay of six dollars To accommodate this class of readers, we have made arrangements by which, on and after New Year's Day, THE DAILT NEWS will be delivered, every morning, before seven o'clock, in all parts of the city, by attentive and experienced newsmen, at EIGHTEEN CENTS A WXSK, piyable weekly. The advantages of this plan are evident at a glance. Those who take their papers upon the weekly system only pay o?; their money, week by week, as their papers are received ; they run no risWthey can stop th'T paper at any time^-?ying one week's no. je ; when they f\ "^Ke city ior a few weeks they can suspend j papers, and be at no expense. The yearly jt at the weekly rate is mord than when the LjL^h^ ,ubsor/ption at our advertised rates is paid in ^kfXdvance at our omeo ; but there is .every reason I B believe that the new plan will,#\v its sim ^L-^jecuritv. and ?L smalln tho cash I K euabhytanj persons i^t>ke a^.L'y BLt . ~ e su A H as |^h^aa^B^ses H| Hr .'.T0 PAY BBWCcc :?V?

The skilled artisans, who have been receiving wages in proportion to the increased cost of living for the past six years, have savt d somothing, and will not be brought to any actual distress by a few months of idleness or half work. Not so tho common day laborers. An inflated currency made them poorer from the first, and they have nothing to fall back upon when out of wor... in most cases. Happily, however, thoro ia no general financial oreak-down ana suspension of business. In some departments of labor there ia temporary pause, in others a contraction of both work and w<i?es, but still tho large majority aro em ?loved, and aro earning a comfortable subsistence. I Congress, by reducing taxation and the expense of the government, by establishing the national finances on a secure and permanent basis, and by giving the South an opportunity to recover itself from the desolations of the war, shall restore con? fidence to commercial circles, we may reasonably expect a revival of business m tho early spring. WHY SO MAST SPTNSTEBS ?-Some of tie English periodicals are reviving a discussion which, threo years ago, for several weeks was a leading topic for the London journals and magazines. The North British Review thinks that, according to the census returns, thero ousht to be but 400,000 un? married women between the ages of twenty and forty, whereas thore aro 1,230,000, and as the woraing classes and peasants nearly all marry and marry young, workingmen finding no difficulty in getting husbands foi their daughters, thc surplus spinsters an among the higher classes, and thou? sands of young men who refuse to marry are those having incomes of lrom ?300 to ?800 a year, who prefer their "liberty" and the support this sum gives them to the risk of sharing thoir income with a wife. But this ie not all; there is tho old story of the terrible extmvagancj of the women; tlie modest maiden suddoniy blooms into the most magnificent of matrons, unbounded in expendi? tures, they flirt more industriously, waltz more violently, and dress more outra? oously. Even the Spectator, which makes a mild defence of the ?oung women of England against the charges of ho writers in the North British Review and Frazer, is compelled to admit that there is an alarmingly largo class of such womer, i,.id that there is among men a growing contempt, not only for matrimony, but for women themselves. Among tte few remedies suggested aro ooportmuties for freer social interconrse; tho advantage of seeing women elsewhere than at the ball and opera, eu that a man can learn something of tho actual ha bits and disposition of tho person whose baud he might be disposed to seek, and thus re able to see the difference between the real woman and the woman of tho ball room. As it is, it ia a lot? tery in whict many fear to venture. -Munich has been agitated by a tragedy in high life, made all the more appetizing bv the im? penetrable mystery which surrounds "it. Tho Ioung Countess Chorinsby lived a retired Ufo in a otel at tue Bavarian capital, separated from hor husband, who was one of Maximilian's lieutenants in Mexico, and who now holds a high post at Vi? enna. Into her seclusion came ono dav a hand? some young lady, calling herself thc Baroness de Vay, who made her acquaintance and launched into a sudden friendship. One afternoon they tock tea together in tho Countess' apart? ments, proposing to go to tho theatre after? wards. The landlady did not seo them re? turn. She waited two days, and then thc door waa broken open, when the Countess was found lying dead upon the floor by the sofa, and the Baroness' oup untasted upon the table. Siio was poisoned with prussic acid, the doctors said Then ber gay husband was sought, and upon his SBrson was found a medallion of thc handsome aroness de Vay, who was in fact a Bar ness, but whose name waa Juba Ebergenyi, a lady or good family in Vienna, to whom the Count was"devoted? ly attached. There is liitle mystery about the manner or causo of the poor Countess' death; but did the Count plot the murder of the wifo, whose only offence was that she stood in his way, or was lt the frenniod jealousy of the woman whose ad? mirer was kept from her by legal chaina ?

Tho New York EvoniDg Post of Saturday, December 2sth, says : Ibo money market is easy at 6 per cent, with except tiona! trautactlom at 5 and 7. First class commercial p por is discounted by the bank for customers, with moderate freedom at tho loyal rate, and on ths street it is rated ut 7aS per cont- . lt is o ?timsted thut not far from twenty millions w?l bc disbursed in dividends in January, and heneo the sup? ply of loanable funds will DO largely increased. Tt is it is expected will suioulato speculation on the Stock Ex? change, and impart an upward impetus to government securities. Tho latter aro very strong, and there is a brisk investment demand for ?vc-tweuties. The issue ol 1862 and 1865 are especially active, and tte "short" interest in both is so large that deliveries are made ir? regular ly. The stock market is dull but stea iy. The speculative feeling is tor the tiu.e being rather tamer than lt has been, although confidence is still genet ally expressed in an active bull niovemont after the new year opens, tho strongest argument the bulls Lavo in their tavor lies in the increased earnings per mile of the leading rail nays in 1867, as compared with those of the previous year. i ho gold market is steady at a slightly lower range than that of yesterday, and mos; oi the operators in the rooms are still bears. Tho "short" interest is very hea yy, and the borrowing demand for coin is consequently active, and loans are made a: rates of interest favoring the lender of the coin. PRODUCE MABK.BT.
