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

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,
