Address.
TIIK NEW \ EAR.
To-morrow a New Year will take its place !
upon the xving of Tim -. ami tlm Old one will j
Lave glided into the ocean of past eternity. It
is an epoch the occurrence of which excites!
pensive contemplation in the reflecting mind. |
It is a point, a poriqd, at which man pauses in I
Jus onward career to the grave, and looks ,
back upon the past. He withdraws fora mo
ment his mind from the absording pursuits |
which are to meet with success or disappoint- j
meat in the future, to let memory ponder
over tlia in astireofiiti.c which has been just.
< omplctid. lias the past year been to hint
one of pleasure and gladness—has the blessing
of uninterrupted health been his, and has the
golden sun of prosperity shown upon him 1 |
Ilavefriends been true, and fortune kind. Has
lie, according to his means, assisted in reliev- [
ing the distress and adding to the comforts of j
. his fellow beings in sickness or w ant ? If so, j
then let hitn enjoy his own thoughts—the j
flight of time will only hasten the consumma
tion of hi* r.vvard, and he may bid farewell to
the departed year without regret.
Hut, alas, all have ivotbecn thus fortunate.
The past year to many has been one or sorrow
nn 1 pain : and few there b who. in that
small portion of lime, have not had occasion
to mourn over the miseries of human life.
Disease, in the variety of his myriad-shapes,
liaa been abroad in the world, and the old and
infirm, the young the guy and the beautiful
have alike bowed down before him ns he pas
sed. The strong ties oflove and friendship
have been severed, and creatures of sense and
sensibility have been called upon to mourn the
departure of relatives, friendsaml companions, I
w ho, ere their souls had taken tiller v iewless j
flight to other worlds, where the solace of
their cares, tlic charm of their being. Some
have themselves passed restless days 11111?
sleepless nights upon the bed of sickness, arid
h ive recovered to pass through the same
Agonizing scenes again. The minds of some
Jiave been shocked by a reverse of fortune—
oilmrs have seen their fondest hopes end in
disappointment-rand all have seen enough to
be convinced of the vanity of human life. It
were well if, amidst the toils, anxieties and
perplexities of this.life we should pause be
times, and think of the future. liven though
death, the grave, ami eternity, be subjects only
for the contemplation of the moralist, yet it is
well for all—high and low, rich and poor—to
examine, at slated periods, their own hearts,
and mellow and improve them by salutary re
flection outlie uncertainty of life and tffP
transfloriness of being. Then, although Time 1
may continue his ceasless flight, changing
all things in nature according to his immti
fable” ltfVtt*, fei■ fill it TlO. have been spared oil
earth may feel joyoul at the epoch which
marks the departure of one year mid the suc
orssion of another, and wish their friends, its
we now wish our patrons, a rUPPY NEW!

cannot do better than recommend all who
have an opportunity to attend.
Sabbatii School of Darien’.- — The Ohil- !
(Iren of the Sabbath school oflhiscity we re
assembled in tKc Presbyterian Church on j
the morning of Christmas day, at which ;
time an eloquent and we doubt not deeply i
impressive sermon was preached by the i
Rev. N. A Pratt, after winch an appropri
ate Hymn was sung by the children and j
responded to by the Choir-iu a Chorus!
which as well as the Hymn was composed !
expressly for the occasion.
We do not remember to have experien-j
ceil a more gratifving season of repose from 1
the busy cares of life, than was afforded us \
in witnessing this result of the disinterested !
solicitude of those who have the care of,
Sabbath Schools, united with parental gov- j
eminent and well directed affection.
We hardlv anticipated in these times to
realize the often expressed wishes of onr j
kind friends in spending a “merry Christ- j
inns but if true happiness is to be found
in tiie expansion of the fiuer-feelings of the
heart, many, as* well as ourself, must have
fclj, its influence. The happy and exceed-j
ingly musical voices of the children combin- j
ed with countenances, radiant with inno- j
cence and joy, must have impressed the |
hearts of all with emotions far superior to \
the highest order of what the world calls
merriment.
Ballooning. —A short time since we pub- j
Fished the eard,of a person, whose name we
have forgotten living somewhere at the West,
who proposes making a balloon voyage from
New York to New Orleans. Great wits jump,
according to the old adage; and the saying is
exemplified in the fact that a balloon project
on a still grander scale has been contempla
ted in England also, and about the same time.
And after all why not ? Thirty years ago the
navigation of the Atlantic by steam would
have seemed quite as Impracticable, yet steaih
ships are now making the voyage with almost
clock-like regularly. Who knows but that
we mav have a balloon from London coming
down in the midst of u?. one of these odd
days.
roll THE DARIEN HERALD.
Mn. Editor:
While enjoying a pleasant Christina* day,
1 my mind cannot but be filled with reflections,
calculated to soothe every unruly and unholy
| desire. Acknowledged as this day has been
throughout the Christian world, 1 have ever
i hailed its return as the birth day of Him, who
1 \ erily believe is the only Saviour of sinners,
1 and as such, I delight on this auspicious day, to
1 retire as I am accustomed to do, fi'om the
j scenes of busy life and meditate on that won
’ derful and infinite love, which prompted Him
’ w hilst engaged in the councils of Heaven lor
the Salvation of sinful man to exclaim—“ Lord,
here am I, send me.” The goodness of tioil too,
away from the atonement of Christ, occupies
on this day, much of my thoughts—that llis,
mercies are continued to 11s every day—His,
watchful care and protecting providence, sur
rounding us in the midst of dangers seen and
unseen-and that He never slumbers nor sleeps,
hut is the same yesterday, to day, and forever,
the unchangeable God. And mV reflections
| on this day are ill more lively and delightful
exercise, when lean witness the house of God
opened and his ehilddren& their friends bend
ing their way to that sacred temple, there
to hear from the lips of his ambassadors the
encouraging invitations of his Gospel. All
these have a tendency to raise my humble
thoughts above the things of time and sense,
and to contemplate w ith the Utmost reverence
mid with the deepest humility, His great and
adorable perfection s. On the last Christmas
day. Mr. Editor, I was permitted to tarry in your
very pleasant and rural village, and at the 11-
stial hour for Divine worship. I was indu
ced from the heart cheering sound of the
('butch going bell, to follow its inviting ac
cents,iiutil I found myself seated in the church.
The congregation was not large, but remarka
bly respectful. My attention however was
soon attracted to the front seats in the house,
which I was informed were occupied by the
children of the Sabbath School of your place,
and that it wua.ibeir custom on every return of
Ibis day. to sing a Christmas Hymn. As soon
as the bell was stopped, the choir performed a
short, but handsome and very appropriate an
them.—The Minister then arose and in an an
imated manner, delivered a very handsome and
impressive address—and in conclusion of the
religious exercise* of the morning, read the
follow ing hymn, which I understand was writ
ten for the occasion.
A CHRISTMAS HYMN,
SI NO IIV THE CHILDREN OE THE
DAKIKN SABBATH SCHOOL.
Once more, we sing the morn,
Kepletc witlilife and joy;
This day, we bail, n Saviour born ; 1
Dispraise ; onr songs employ.
Sweet Babe of Bethlehem, ,
Our harps, wetyne, to Thee. ; |
Salvation comes, from lieav’n, to men, — j
A ransom full, and free. ,
Goodwill, to ruined man,
And peace, on earth are giv’n; 1
O'er mountain hills, the tidings ran, 1
Echoed from earth toheav’n.
Chorus. Hallelujah toottr God,
iFlm rules the worlds on high;—
Hallelujahs to the Lamb— ‘
Hatileujnh's to the Lam!) —
Swell lltfoiygh the vaulted sky. t
Love, (ills each melting strain,
W bile mercy grants the boon ;
Seraphs astonish’d, gaze ill vain,
And hail the infant Sou,
Angels above admire, , i
Our Saviour, and our king ; 1
While youthful hearts, with fond desire, <
To liim, their tribute bring. t
Glory to God, on high;
To Him, our voices raise ;
Responding notes, shall fill the sky,
Os Woltder, love', and praise’."”
Chorus. Hallelujah to our God,
Who rules the worlds on high;—
Hallelujahs to the Latnb—
Hallelujah*to the Lamb—
Swell through the vaulted sky. ‘ (
At the sound of the superintendents little
bell the children rose Worn their scats., Oli, ,
what a pleasant sight to see so many dear
young immortals assembled ;ti the church mid
engaged in the praises, of the Saviour of their
■souls. My heart leaped with joy, to witness
such a cheering scene; silent, decorous and at
tentive they commenced the hymn, to the en
livening tune of Laban, and with firm and un- ,
faltering voice, sang through each verse, even 1
unto the end. Truly there was sweet melody :
in every note, and when their united voices 1
would swell the sound, it’ seemed indeed to 1
reach the very arch of Heaven, and surely
such infant praises must re-echo there, and fall 1
in favorable accents on the ever listening car i
of their Father and tlieir Friend.
Too much praise cannot be given 1o this dear 1
little band, and the little tribute I would now \
offer is well deserved. May they all be pre
pared, w hen time with them shall be no more,
to join tiie holy, heavenly throng, and sing ;
throughout the ages of Eternity, praises to the
Lamb that was slain for them. I noticed too,
Mr. Editor, in the course of the singing, that ■
a well-timed chorus w as introduced, at the end
of the third arid last verses, full of life and en- :
ergy, —this I have also added in its proper place
to the hymn, for I am told it was written and
set to music by one of the choir. I was much
gratified at the execution of this company of ■
singers, I mean the choir,—and more particu
larly so, as I am informed, it is composed of
young ladies, and gentlemen, who are piompt
ed to thOHask, from a desire to improve the
music of the church, and in sacred psalmody.
They should therefore bo sustained and en
couraged by every member of the congrega- t
tion. —for what can be more acceptable to our
Heavenly Father, than the praises of his [
church, sent forth in solemn and harmonious
sounds.
I pray you excuse the time which has now ;
been occupied by A .STRANGER.

N KW YE A H’ S WISH.
To you my good friends, while 1 write,
Kind wishes spontaneous arise ;
Ami does aught my rude, passions exeile,
They arc hush’d by benevolent sighs.
A muse, in the form of a dove,
Hovers round and dispels ov’ry fear;
She bids me em it talent improve
To Imil you it happy new year]
Her mandates l cheerful obey,
As her smiles I would slrive to procure,
For the lines that my wishes convey,
May her.favors in future secure.
On you my kind friends may she smile,
That your songsmny with melody flow ;
And may joy alt your sorrows beguile,
Nor an hour be res rved for woe.
When Winter shall sternly appear,
Amt nature ill gloom be array’d,
When the mariner shudders thro’ fear
Lest his barque should by winds lie. betray’d;
Then in safety. Well shelter’d from snow,
May you all, putting sorrow aside,
In domestic tranquility know
All the joys of a social fire-side.
When Spihig in young beauty shall smile,
And charm following charm shall unfold ;
In rapture beholding the while,
May your portion he pleasures untold.
May each songsirr that chirps on the spray,
Min *aeh flow’rot llmt blows in the field,
For you be more cheerful and gay,
For you its choice fragrances yield.
When Nn miner shall sultry advance,
And flocks from iHeir sports shall retire ;
May friendship your pleasure enhance,
And sages your virtues admire.
May the grape-vine form arbors of ease,
While the Eglantine skirts them around ;
And then may the fresh balmy breeze
Mali perfumes from each neighboring ground
When Autumn bis treasures shall bring,
II hen each fruit tree shall bend with itsload;
May your hearts ever gratefully sing,
The Hand that such blessings bestowed.
Thus sweetly shall lime roll away,
Nor shall you once wish it in haste ;
And the year that commences to-day,
Shall be happier far than the past.
Then, when Winter* nml Spring* shall decay,
When Siinime rs and Autumns
And Phoebus, the prince of the day,
Shall wake the glad seasons no more :
To you, each forgetting his mirth,
May beauty immortal be given;
May you change the faint joys of this earth,
For transports uncloying in Heaven.
ELECTION OF SPEAKER.
Wo have the unfeigned satisfaction of an
nouncing to our renders and tlie public that
the Representative branch of Congress lias at
length effected the election of a Speaker, and
may thus be considered 11s relieved from all
furl her obstacles to an immediate and com
plete organization. The member 011 whom
the honor lias fallen is Mr. Robert M. T. Hun
ter, a Representative from Virginia, who was
elected yesterday on the lllli trial, he having
received 119 votes out of 232, 111 the person
al and political character of the gentleman on
whom the choice has fallen, the House lias ev
ery guarantee for a dignified, just, and faith
ful discharge of bis high duties ; and therefore
—we hope we may say without disrespect to
the many distinguished gentlemen previously
voted far- —the choice may be esteemed not
less fortunate for the House and for the coun
try, than it is honorable to himself, especially
when we consider the difficulty which so long
prevented an election, and which rendered the
issue of the calmest so uncertain. To those
who desire to examine the election ns a politi -
cal result, it will be sufficient for us to say
that Mr. Hunter received,on the last and suc
cessful trial, every Whig rule in the House,
which, united with the votes of nearly all the
State Rights’ gentlemen of the South, effected
.hi* election. —National Intelligence nth.

The Main Question. —The reader is
aware that the House of Representatives
of our Legislature, passed a bill by which
vessels arriving in our ports from the Slate
of,Maine, were lo* be quarantined foi the
space of one hundred days, which was
tantamount to a nonintercoursc law. This
Bill w r as defeated in the Senate by two votes
majority against it. Thus ends for the
present this important matter. The only
thing that has been done by the Legislature
o:t this subject is, the passage of Mr. Jen
kins’ Resolutions, which were only and
solely intended by their author, to provide
an efficient remedy for future aggressions,
and have nothing iff the world to do with
the immediate subject before the Legisla
ture.—Mil. Recorder.
Mrs. Gilman’s “Housewife’s Almanac,”
for 1810, states as a curious fact in natural
history that it is female: inusquitoes only
who are torments to mankind. Here isan
argument for the bachelors which they
never dreamed of.

CONGRESS.
Our anticipations aic realized and Rob-<
ert M. T. Hunter is elected Speuker of
the II riuse of Representatives, The Whigs
of course make a prodigious noise and at- j
tempt to wring their laces i
which may pass for rejoicing. But the elec- j
lion of Mr. Hunter is in truth the triumph
of the Independent Treasury principles. ;
We I now him to he an honest fearless in- ;
dependent man. We shall no doubt differ *
with him on some points—wo are sorry
that ihe vine of the Whigs was necessary
to his election—we dissent from the opinion
he seems to favor about the New Jersey
members. When men talk about disfran
chising a State, they should remember that
the worst kind of disfranchisement is toal
low persons to represent that Stale who
have been rejected by its citizens. The
W big claimants demand their seats in order
that they mav vote against their own State
, , *’ J *3 ,
and lorce upon it a representation contrary ■
to its will and strange to say State Bights j
are invoked itynid of the purposed fraud !
‘Bfris subject was again opened for debate, ;
by the Speakerdcinunding from the House |
whether the New Jersey members shall be j
sworn ? The debate was likely to be long !
and the prospect of receiving the Presi
dent's Message was again darkened.
All sorts of silly rumors have been put
in circulation by the Whig letter writers,
about a dissolution of the Administration
! partv. Mr. Calhoun with all the Nulliti
ers going over to granny Harrison and other
Iniali which il is their vocation to peddle.
All the politicians in the world could not
drag South Carolina into support of Har
rison and none of her politicians, who have j
any charter at stake will attempt it, It is
just now the fashion to shoot these arrows j
at Mr. Calhoun simply because lie is the I
highest, brightest mark.—Char. Mercury
