Farewell, Old Year !—when other friends depart,
Fond hope still lingers in the sad adieu,
And e’en in absence tells the sorrowing heart,
lhat after fare the well comes how-d’-ye do !
But thou, Old Year, art passing from my sight!
Thy cheerful days, thy happy hours are o’er :
To memory's dim domain they take their flight.
And from her shades they shall return no more.
The summer birds that with their trnar.t wings
Cleave the far ether of a southern sky,
Anon return by bowers and gushing springs,
To glad the wild woods with their melody.
But they return not—hours of bliss—swift stealing
Away, away *on pinions blight and pure,
Ejen in their flight, the matchless joys revealing,
loo fair to last—too lovely to endure !
In vain, with beating hearts and arms extended.
We court their stay and pray that they’ may last:
They glide away, too soon with memories blended,
That crowd the precincts of the insatiate past.
Thus years roll by, and each and every one
8natches some treasured happiness away ;
Ah, graceless heait! reflect—arid are there none
That bear griefs with them on their backward wav?
Neither shall these return to mar thy rest
If joys depart. so care’s dark hours go by :
And time hath power to heal the bleeding breast,
To dry the falling tear, and hush the sigh.
Or if a sting remain, the honey dew
Of sweet remembrance shall allay the smart.
And soothe regrets, and kiodle hope anew ;
Blest antidote to care!—oh ! thankless heart !
Yes ! years roll on ; yet wherefore send them forth
With records dark and sad to bear on high ?
Oh ! give them noble ihotrghts anil deeds of worth,
To swell the annals of eternity.

Quite extensive whiskers,

Tall and fine ai d swell.
Empty seat behind him,
No one at his side ;
To a pleasant station
Now tlie train doth glide.
Enter aged couple,
Take the hinder seat;
Enter gentle maiden,
Beautiful, petite.
Blushingly she falters,
“ Is tins seat engaged ?”

Properly enraged )
StudeDt, quite ecstatic,
Sees her ticket’s “ through
Thinks of the long tunr.el.—
Know* what he will do.
So they sit and chatter
While the cinders fly,
Till that •‘student teller”
Gets one in his eye ;
And the gentle maiden
Quickly turns about,—
‘•May I, if you please, sir,
Try to get it out ?”
Happy “ student feller”
Feels a dainty touch ;
Hears a gentle whisper—
‘ Does it hurt you much ?”

In tbe tunnel quite,
Aida glorious darkness
Black as Egypt’s night.
Out into the daylight
Darts the State Road train ;

Maiden's hair is tumbled.
Arid there soon appeared
Cunning little ear tmg
Caught in student’s beard !

i A Novel Traveling Party.—A
I correspondent of the New York Herald,
! writing from Alexandria, Egypt, gives
I an interesting account of an American
j traveling party, composed of an entire
; school of girls, from fourteen to tvven
ty-one years of age, representing all
quarters of the Union, and under the
charge of their preceptress, a Mrs.
Stone, with Mr. H. G. Gil be rt as male
piotector. and a courier who attends
to all the details of traveling. The
names of the young ladies are : Miss
Nancy N. Sanborn, Miss Erina M. Ful
ler, Miss Emma Ethridge, Miss Caro
line C. Bertsch, Miss Lizzie Bell Ful
ler, Miss Gertrude Thomas, .Miss Flo
ra Bella Van Huyzan, Miss Kate E.
Mitchell, Miss Lena M. Gould, Miss
Clara A. Avery, Miss Kittie C- Baxter,
.Miss Mary T. McNaughton, Miss Lu
cinda H. Stone.
The party sailed from the United
States about a year ago, have visited
all points of interest in Ireland, Eng
land, Scotland, France, Germany, Italy,
Switzerland, including the capitals of
those countries, where they excited no
little curiosity, and were treated with
distinguished consideration. They are
now in Egypt, where they met with a
warm reception from the Vice-Boy,
and had a jolly time with the Emper
or ol Brazil, also a guest of that coun
try. ^
When the young ladies visited the
Pyramids a photographer was employ
ed in taking a negative of Don Pedro,
with the mammoth mausoleums in the
background. The seminary was con
sequently taken at the same time, and
the Emperor declared that he could
wish nothing to remain immortal ex
cept a picture which had fixed him in
the company of such a charming cir
cle—not even the Pyramids themselves.
Whereupon the acquaintance was re
newed, and each young lady was de
clared a natural princess. Last month
the party, conducted by a dragoman,
sailed from Alexandria for Beyront,
where they will go overland to visit
the Saviour’s tomb.
If tiie sanitary condition of Con
stantinople permits they will visit the
capital of the Turkish Empire, thence
going up the Danube, will complete
their view of Europe. The corres
pondent thinks it is safe to say that no !
party that has ever been abroad has
made a better impression than this
family of pretty American misses.

The care of a large property is one of
the most burthensomeof earthly trusts.
The only material good which comes
of an estate, the writer remarks, is to
be made out of a moderate income far
more easily than from a large one, and
with fewer attendant disadvantages.
The enjoyment, in the dispensation of
bounty, is sadly marred by the judi
cious care required in the selection of
their recipients. The man whoisearn-

proportions so large that it can scarce

their abettors aiso ; have no parleying.
We repudiated the most sacred obliga
tions incurred in the war for our inde
pendence. and shall we hesitate to do
the same w ith Gov. Bullock’s fraudu
lent issues—when everybody was cau
tioned not to rely on them.
“ When ad the bonds issued since
Gov. Jenkins’term are set aside, the
State debt will be under four millions,
and the taxes as low as before the war,
and not, as under Bullock, eight times
as much. Indeed, with Gov. Smith at
the helm, and the railroad income of
S2-j,000 per mouth in the Treasury,
the taxes will be lower than ever, and
the dawn of a brighter prosperity will
appear, and despite negro suffrage and
carpet-bag interference, the people
will rejoice in a higher prosperity than
ever.

Woman’s Influence.—Let woman
wash her hands of all participation in
the customs of social drinking, and let
her wear the frown of absolute refusal
i to enter life’s partnership with those
who cannot second her example, and
she will have accomplished a reform
mightier than ever followed the scon rg-
ings of pen or platform, or weapons of
war.
1 The first temperance society in this
country was iormed at Sarataga in ISOS.
It was local in its character, and num
bered forty-three members, mostly
farmers, who pledged themselves to
; abstinence from distilled liquors, and
j ordained that no member should be
intoxicated under penalty of fifty cents.
The United States is the only coun
try in the world that, either in ancient
or modern times, produced peaches in
sufficient quantities to allow them to
become a common marketable com
modity ; su cheap that the poor as well
as the rich may regale themselves and
and their families with one of the most
wholesome and delicious of fruits at a
very small expense, and with every
prospect that they will be more abun
dant and cheap.
An Old Rose Bush.—It is believed
that the oldest rose bush in the world

foolery of royalty. In a speech re
cently made at New Castle-on-Tyne,
England, by Sir Charles Dilke, a young
liberal member of Paliament, he de
nounced the enormous expenses of the
roval family. He showed that they
amount yearly to about three and a
half millions of dollars, which is ex
clusive of the cost of maintaining the
troops of the royal household. The
cavalry also requires a yearly expendi
ture of half a million, while the offi
cers of both the Horse Guards and
Foot Guards are not to be appointed
by competive examination, as are the
other officers of the British army un
der the new bill. Moreover, the Roy
al Yachts cost an additional million
and a half of dollars annually, makit g
tbe total yearly cost of the British
Royal establishment exceed four and a
half millions of our money, and on
this sum no income tax is paid. A
curious and amusing part of Mr.
Dilke’s expose of this huge imposition
on the English public, is that in which
he enumerates, by their titles, the
great number of useless officials em
ployed by the Royal households—such
as “historical painter” to the Queen,
“portrait painter” to the Queen, “lith
ographer in ordinary,” “coroner of
the household,” three “physicians in
ordinarv,” three “physicians extraor
dinary,” two “sergeant-surgeons,”
three “surgeons extraordinary,” one
“physician of the household,” one
“surgeon of the household,” one “sur
geon-apothecary,” two “chemists of
the establishment in ordinary,” one
“surgeon-oculist,” one “surgeon den
tist,” one “dentist in ordinary,” and
one other physician, or twenty-one ill
all. He said that the Prince of Wales
alone bad three “honorary physicians,”
two “physicians in ordinary,” two
“surgeons iu ordiuary,” one “surgeon
extraordinary,” and one “chemist in
ordinary*” Besides these there are
the “lord high almoner,” “sub-almo
ner,” “hereditary grand almoner,”
“master of the buck-hounds,” “clerk
of the check,” and “clerk of the clos
et.” Just think of our gay President
with these various departments follow
ing him around with periwigs, staves
and slippers, and young Grunt as the
“Prince of Elephants” with a like
retinue, and say how you would like
it. Stranger things have happened—

Grant, in the space of a very few years
from the position of a good for nothing

A Demoralized Cow*—Since Mrs.
O’Leary’s cow got her name in the
papers, the whole envious bovine fam
ily are cutting up didoes to secure an
equal notoriety. The last exploits
are by a cow belonging to a Mrs. Lam
bert, of Bay City, Mich. Exploring
the back yard on a recent evening she
put her head.into a barrel, which she
couldn’t get off, and becoming much
frightened at her condition, she blind
ly forced her way into the woodshed,
thence into the kitchen, and thence
into the dining room of the house, be
coming all the while more furious.—
From this room she made her way into
the parlor, throwing down and tram
pling under foot everything that came
in her way. Mrs. Lambert aroused
her husband, who arose, but finding
that he could do nothing, went for
help. The cow next rushed into the
bedroom where Mrs. Lambert, with a
little bably and one child occupied a
bed, and another little child in a crib.
The enraged animal mounted the bed,
but help arrived, and not an instant
too soou. The wiudow was raised
from the outside, aud a neighbor at
tempted to enter when the barrel
gave him a blow which knocked him
back against the fence. The children
were at last secured and passed through
the window, and Mrs. Lambert soon
followed. The door of the bedroom
was ttieu closed and the cow left to
herself, fihe finally became soothed,

A Pennsylvania jury has very prop
erly rebuked the infamous system, so
common iu the Government service, of
leading people to commit crime and
then attempting to secure conviction
on evidence thus obtained. A middle
aged woman named Mary Brown was
charged iu Philadelphia with passing
counterfeit money. The principal
witness f or the prosecution was a secret
service operator named Russel Apple-
gate. In February last Applegate was
introduced to the defendant as Harry
Wilson, and persuaded her to sell him
a S2U counterfeit national bank note
for $8. They exchanged addresses,
and she told the detective that she was
living in Cincinnati, and would write
“if anythinggoyd turned up out West.”
Applegate afterward went to Cincin
nati and obtained from tbe prisoner
some counterfeit fifty cent notes. The
detective, according to his own story,
appears to have acted as Brown's aider
and abettor in the passage ot counter
feit money from February uutilJuly,
when the woman was arrested. The
jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
