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!

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.

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. • net. 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.
