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.

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. eat,!, TAX OF 1868, I S«» A\i> 1870 OKDEKMDCOLLECTED.

A :* ■ 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.

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. “But throttle every villain who dares to advocate the payment of any of Bullock’s bonds.

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.

An Old Rose Bush.—It is believed that the oldest rose bush in the world is one which is trained upon one side of the Cathedral ot Iiildersheim, in Germany. The root is buried under the cript, below the choir. The stem is a foot thick, and halt a dozen branch es nearly cover the eastern side of the church, bearing countless flowers in summer. Its age is unknown,, but doc uments exist prove that the Bishop He- zilo nearly a thousand years ago pro tected it by a stone roof, which is still extant. “I can’t find bread for my family,” said a lazy fellow in company. “Nor 1” replied an industrious miller, “I am obliged to work for it.” more in the habit, every day, of look ing into newspapers to find out what they want and where to get it; and every person who has anything to sell must conform to this popular habit if lie wants to succeed.

This is by rous ing the whole nation, from one end to the other, against electing any Presi dent to office a second time; thus car rying out Gen. Grant’s own principles, once solemnly declared to Wilkes: That the liberties of this country eauld cot be maintained without a oue- termed amendment to the Constitu tion, and such a civil service bill as would enable the President to retain good men in office.” This article has (alien like a bumbinell in the camp of Grant and his official harpies. 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— for instance the elevation ot General Grant, in the space of a very few years from the position of a good for nothing nobody to the first office in the gift of the American people. 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, Substitutes for Blankets.—News papers placed over or under the bed spread will keep the sleeper as warm respuu as an additional pair of blankets, and they are an excellent protection where there are no blankets.

Some of the prisoners were carrying their bed clothes strapped on their backs, because too poor to pay hotel bills; some were accompanied by their wives, some had their friends and neighbors, &c. The entire crowd amounted to 200 persons, all torn from their business to be dragged 200 miles to attend a court, which, but tor mal ice, might have been held within a few miles of the homes of the prison ers. Gangs of negroes followed the prisoners to the depot, jeeriDg, taunt ing, and laughing at them.

Neuralgia.—A correspondent of the resolution agreed on at the conference Lancet says : “ A few years ago when in China, I became acquainted with the fact of the natives when suffering with facial neu ralgia using oil of peppermint, which they lightly apply to the seat of pain with a camel-hair pencil. Since theu, in my own practice, I frequently em ploy this oil as a local anaesthetic, not only in neuralgia, but also in gout, with remarkably good results.” In prosperity we need moderation; in adversity, patience. already held: Resolved, That we henceforth in scribe upon our banners in tte "one- term principle for the Presidency of the United States, and will likewise proclaim among our tesis tor the com ing campaign against vice, corruption, confederated wealth and aristocracy, those of “ no more monarchy in Amer ica,” “ no more standing army,” and no candidate for Chief Magistrate, un der the new yearning of the world for peace, who represents or typifies the 1 art ot war.” 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. Sav. News. Beecher explains tnat the reason he gave up pastoral visits was because the ladies kept him waiting so long while they were dressing.
