new YEAR’S ADDRESS
TO THE PATRONS OF
v friend of the family.
With merry heart and cheerful lay,
I come to greet you, friends, to-day.
]t gladdens me to see appear,
The dawning of another year;
Spring may delight us with its flowers,
And Summer with its sunny hours,
\nd Autumn with its many hues,
Put none of these my heart doth choose ;
I love the day when carrier boys
Can share their Patrons purse and jo3 r s,
iQ ur Purse dont help us much to share,
The blessings of the new-born year,)
When weary labor seeks its rest,
And heavy hearts by Hope are bless’d,
When sorrow finds an open door,
And wealth delights to bless the poor!
How much of change a year can bring,
To maiden, matron, slave and king;
The captive pining in bis cell,
Next year may in a palace dwell;
The prince upon his lordly throne,
Next year be friendless and alone ;
The maid, to mother’s apron tied,
Next year may be a blushing bride ;
The wife, with all that heart can crave,
Next year may fill an humble grave ;
And they, whom friendship’s bands enclose,
Next year be stern unyielding foes !
It fills our bosoms with delight,
To see Savannah’s alter’d plight ;
Our rail-wav brings increasing trade,
A plank road through our streets is laid,
And ere another year shall pass,
Our city will be lit with gas.
Mv much loved home ! I gladly see,
The happy change that’s come o’er thee ;
Thv vast increase, thy crowded wavs,
Thy stores with all their rich displa}*!,
Thy sons all struggling for thy right,
Thy maidens in their beauty bright;
(There’s not a lass can hold a taper,
To the dear girls that take this paper;)
Isi vain, thy rivals all may try,
By shift or plan, to pass thee by ;
In spite of ban oa* quarantine,
Thou ’lt be the stately Southern Queen !
Oh, tyrant Time, —wilt thou not stay,
To lengthen out our holiday ?
But few the hours thou dost impart,
To bless the aching, weary heart:
Come, rest thee from thy ceaseless flight,
This is a season of delight;
Lay down thy scythe —thy pinions fold,
And into smiles thy visage mould !
Be not in hot haste to efface,
Dear Beauty’s lovely form and grace, —
To pluck the joy from manhood’s brow,
The hopes that cheer our bosoms now;
■“ I cannot,” thus I hear thee say,
“ I cannot linger e’en to-day ;
’Tis true, I blight the maiden’s bloom,
T Tis true, l bring man to the tomb;
But hast thou, thoughtless boy, forgot,
’Tis I that cheers the mourner’s lot;
’Tis I that breathes upon despair,
And turns to mirth the sigh of care ?
•Idorny Muster's high behest,
I do, and leave to him the rest;
So cease vour wail, m3’ little man,
And spend 3’our moments while 3 T ou can !”
I'll take this sage advice of Time,
And end this straggling dogg’rel rli3 r me,
for writing verse is not the way,
spend a merry holiday ;
lift keeping 3-ou my patrons dear,
f rona friendly smiles and bounteous cheer ;
Help tn e , your carrier bo3’, to share,
Earth’s joys, and thus begin the year,
n d as its moments fade away,
And hasten on a brighter day,
You’ll never miss—vou ’ll ne’er deplore,
‘our love and kindness to the poor!
Hear matron ! may thy husband be,
Forever kind, as now, to thee ;
Dear maiden ! may 3 r ou quickly find,
A dashing beau to suit your mind ;
Dear Sir! where’er thy fortune be,
A happv, prosp’rous life to thee !
NVith thee may Pleasure ever dwell!
Now one and all, Farewell! Farewell!
Domestic Life. —He cannot be an unhappy man
who has the love and smiles of woman to accom
pany him in every department of life. The
world ma3 T look dark and cheerless without—ene
mies may gather in his path —butwhen he returns
to the fireside and feels the tender love of woman,
he forgets his cares and his troubles, and is com
paratively a happy man. He is but half prepared
for the journey of life who takes not with him that
friend who will forsake him in no emergency—
who will divide his sorrows—increase his joys—
lift the veil from his heart, and throw sunshine
amid the darkest scenes. No ! Man cannot be
miserable who has such a companion, be lie ever
so poor, despised and trodden down upon by T the
world.

A WORD TO OUR FRIENDS.
WE cannot suffer the present opportunity to pass by without
saying something for the vety liberal patronage whi< h you

For all this, however, we are indebted to you, and for which you
have our unfeigned thanks.
We have now but one more request to make,and it is this—send
all of your friends and your friends’ friends to see us— tellihem
thu-our stock of
Fancy and Staple Dry Goods,
BONNETS, RIBBONS, &c.
is now completed. Tell them that we arc offering daily, great bar
gains— such as are seldom met with at this season of the year.—
‘Fell them that our stock of Dry Goods is entirely new. 1 hatour
lights are superior to any establishment of the kind in the city, so
that they need not fear to buy, as they can see exactly what the
ijoods are. And lastly, tell them that we are doing business en
tirely on tile Cash System —consequently we are-compelled to sell
low.
