Tho Old YcprV Blessing. BY ADELAIDE A. r-ROCTOK. 1 am fading from you, But one draweth near, Called the Angel-guardian Of the coming year. If mv gifth and graces Coldly von forget, Let tho New Year's Angel Bless and crown them yot. For we work together, ^? He and I arc one: Let him end and porfoct All I leave undone. I brought Good Desires, Though as yet but seeds; Let tho New Year make them Biossom into Deed?. I brought joy to brighten Hauy happy days: Let tho New Year's Angel Turn it into Praise. ? I? I gave you Sickness, If I brought you Care, Let him make ono Patience And tho other Prayer. When I brought you Sorrow, Through his care at length, It may risc triumphant Into future Strength. If I brought yon Plenty, AU wealth's bounteous charms, Shall nor the New Angel Turn them into Alms? I gave Health and Leisure, .Skill to dream and plan; Let bim make them nobler Work for God and Man. If I broke your Idols, Showed you they were dust, Let him ti?rn thc Knowledge Into Heavenly Trust. If I brought Temptation, Let Sin die away Into boundless Pity For all hearts that stray. If your list of errors Dark and long appears, Let this new-born Monarch Melt them into Tears. May you hold this Angel Dearer than tho last So I bless his Future, While he crowns my Past. The ITIntcr Fashions-Toadies1 Con. nets, T"iresscs, Cloaks, etc. Everything is "gay and festive." Tinsel and gold ornaments are much employed on hats and bonnets, and veils are sometimes covered with gilt spangles. Few plain colors are worn, red being the favorite. There are red "petticoats, and trimmings for petticoats of black, white, grey or striped, and red for children's dresses and cloaks. For bonnets, velvet is the favorite material, with small, rich ostrich feathers as the elegant deco? ration. The frontis sometimes made of velvet and the crown of satin, in some contrasting color. The floating veil, which is fully a yard long and about three-fourths of a yard wide, is considered indispensable with the empire bonnet. Thc small veils, though still worn to some extent, arc no longer fashionable. Tile round hats arc generally pre? ferred to the bonnets by very yoting ladies, and are much worn. There " i j the usual variety of shapes-?-thc jffoe-cornered, the Glengarry turban, ^cavalier, intended for a riding hat, made of black iwn. The last Le iu felt, and, PRENTICE ON CONFEDERATE MONEY. -Senator "Wilson, of Massachusetts, has proposed au amendment to the Constitution to prevent trading in Confederate money; whereupon the Louisville Journal says: ' 'The temptations to purchase the money of the 'so-called Confederate States of America' are rather strong, it must be confessed, and Wilson's prescience in proposing an organically preventive measure must strike th? country as apropos and masterly. "We must suggest a second section to this amendment also, in order to prevent evasion. It should be borne in mind that in Texas and other parts of the South, where corn shucks and such like necessaries are scarce, tho people fill their mattresses with the circulating medium of the 'so-called Confederate States.' The second sec? tion which we propose to the amend? ment, is to the effect tliat people shall not purchase mattraeses filled with Confederate money. Unless this is done, the amendment will be circum? vented and its' spirit evaded. Wah stceet will be purchasing mattresses I filled Confederate funds, and the ras cals will contend that they haven't bought Confederate money at all. only mattresses. The honorable ?Senator from tho Bay State will see, therefore, at a glance the necessity of accepting our suggestion and incorporate into his amendment a second section, for? ever prohibiting thc purchase of mattresses stuffed with the currency of tho Confederate States. There should be no loop-hole left through which this villainous traffic can creep through. Let the Constitution be so amended as to crush it effectually." YANKEE ENTERPRISE IN JAPAN. Few, if any, of our readers but re? ?? ember Richard Risley, who, whilst a boy, created, some twenty-five years ago, an immense sensation ns an acrobatic performer. Success attend? ed him all over thc world, for we do not err in asserting that he has per? formed before more crowned heads civilized and uncivilized-than any man living. No portion of the in? habitable globe remains for him to say, "I will visit." The attractions of thc profession, however, have faded, and the illusions drawn to the realities of life. He has settled per? manently in business in Japan, and although he was the first European to open a theatre in that remote locality, he is now a successful, and, we trust, will prove a prosperous merchant for years to come. He is thc purveyor of ice to tlie Japanese, having the monopoly of that trade, and visits San Francisco to purchase live stock for his farm. No matter how elabo? rate the workmanship and handicraft of the Japanese may be, they cannot provide the outside barbarians with cow's milk or butter. To supply this want, Mr. Risley revisits California, to purchase the full stock in cattle, horses, sheep and swine- to make a farm perfect. At present, milk from a b?llalo cow can bc obtained for about sixty cents a pint, and butter sells for one dollar a pound. With a view of civilizing the natives, MRS. G. T.
