CARRIE R'S ADDRESS TO THE TAT EON A THE "BEDFORD GAZETTE." The world's a stage, the "Bard of Avon" said; Stage-roach he should have titled it instead. For does it not through Time's dominions roll Just like mail-hacks unto yon town of coal?* And bears it r.ot like those "swift wagons too. Its passengers of every shape and hoe Who blindly tnit -into the driver's ski!!, Security to give from every ill, Though oft through Danger's realm* their journey leads, Where aits Misfortune and her horrors breeds? Then turn we and 'hrough Mem'ry's g!as explore The gleaming track the last year's world moved o'er. From Arctic shores that bcumi the Northern main, To where South Shetland break* Antarctic's plain; : From Indian sea*, where coral I,lands grow, To Western lands where tropic flowers blow; From Afric's wastes to where the Andes chain Lifts up its peak-, as 'twere, in proud disdain; From English Thames, from Shannon and from Clyde, To where far Volga pours his roaring tide; In brief, where'er hath trod the foot of man The year that's gone in retrospect we scan. 'Mid Winter's storms eventful days we see Some marked by sorrow, some by rr.irth and glee. There's one whose hours call forth a nation's sighs, And one that makes the patriot's hopes to rise. Behold the star that lit the Arctic night! Eclipsed by Death's dark shadow is its light. Nay, still it gleans.*, more lustrous than belore, A bright effect whose cause exists no more. The name of KANV: shall never cease to shine, Though fled iurever is his soul divine ' — Again: yon Statesman raised above the crowd Whose plaudits rise like peals of thunder loud, The Keystone's "favorite son," the Nation's choice. Declared our chief by the great people s voice, Receives into his hand the helm ol State, To save the country ere it be too late. The months move on; Spring's iragran: zephyrs blow, And "peeps the violet from its bed of snow ;" The changeful April and the leaf-crowned May And flowery June, all quickly pass away Nor bring they such events as here might claim A local habitation and a name." But soon that glorious day, whose hallowed light Shines o'er the world to make its darkness bright. Dawns, "mid the thunder of the village drum. And guns discharged, and al! the mingled hum Of merry noises that distract the ear When patriots know that Freedom's day is near. The August sun, from out a -'brazen sky," Looks down where men in scores together hie. The starry banner proudly o'er them floats, Cheers long and loud break from a hundred throats. Democracy's the motto on that flag of tars, Democracy. the burden of those wild huzzas! A day goes by; upon the self-same spot, Where yesterday the sun shyie burning hot, It shines again, but different Jar the scene , A ranting speaker, who if not so "green, A Black Republican might well be called <To reckon from his sophistry so bald) Harangues an audience of a dozen men Who swear they'll never "vote with him again.' September passes, too, 'mid scenes like these, And soon October crimsons o'er the trees. Election day has come ; and candidates Think moor ily upon their coming iates. Great (!) Wilmot "slumps" no longer Packer trail (?) But writhes beneath the Democratic flaii. His Kansas stories all were told in vain, llis humbug speeches could not lor him gain The suffrages of men who hold it true That Pennsylvanians have enough todo To make laws for themselves and hence To act like men of good, sound common sense, We should not meddle with the Kansas folk Though half their villains did in halters choke. So "up Salt River" he has sailed away, On board the Abolition ship. DISMAY. The "panic" rages with November's storms. The Banks "suspend"; most ruinous alarms Seize on the merchant and he shuts his door On all who credit claim within his store. The poor man scarce his wonted crust obtains Now that the Banks lack their ill-gotten gains. And now December with its "gloomy skies Moves slowly by; the wasted Old Year dies; But, phnenix-like forth from its ashes springs, The merry N®vv on swiitlv flying wings. And though full many a scene has passed us by Without a recognition from our eye; Though India's wars escaped our passing glance Though in our zig-zag, cursory advance We failed to note th' Atlantic Telegraph, The Fiilibusteros, the winged Giraffe, And other things we should have looked at, too, We now must close our hurried review And bidding you adieu, Oh! patrons dear, Wish you most heartily a glad New Year. ""Sometimes called Hopewell. TIICCTAH ARYIY We learn that the War Department yesterday received information by telegraph from Lieu tenant General Scott, announcing the arrival of despatches from the Utah expedition. The news is very favorable. On the 7th November Col onels Johnson &. Smith and tile trains had over taken Col. Alexander, and all were marching upon Fott Bridger, which was only sixteen miles distant. The tioops were m tine .-pipits, and there was just enough sn >.v upon the plains to protect the grass from lire. Fort Bridger, sve believe, is located 113 mile? from Great Salt Lake City. A COOL HIT. —Mr. Buchanan is said to be fond of a quiet thrust at the weakness of hu manity. An illustration ot this may be found near the close of his message to Congress, where he congratulates that patriotic body upon "the late excellent law allowing a salary instead of a per diem to members ol Congres, wtierebv the expense and inconvenience of a called sess ion will be greatly reduced." The innocent simplicity with which he assures himself of their active sympathy in a measure which will make them work out the worth of their wages is refreshing to behold.— Richmond Dis patch. CANTON* TO HE CAPTURED. —A correspondent of the London AVtcs, writing from Canton, Oc tober 16th, says that Lord Elgin has concerted measures with his excellency,the naval coin mander-in-chief, for the assault and capture of the city of Canton. The admiral has arranged the whole available force to move up to Carvfon on the 31st of October, and it is said that the French forces w>ll.co-operate ; it is thought the Russian Admiral Pontiatine will also offer his aid. is a sort of bad money, to which our vanity gives currency.

DR. .1. M. LINDSKY, — Dear Sir; I have been using your Improved Blood Searcher since some time l.i-t summer, and I deem it to be a mattet of duty tobear my testimony to its invigorating bloorl restorative virtues. 1 have been for a number of years severe ly troubled erysipotlis and general dehihty; but since 1 put mvself under the influence ol your Improved Blood Searcher, 1 find a very decided improvement. Indeed, my acquaintances frequently remark, that I look so "fat and lieatty;" and 1 know of no other cause than the use of \onr Improved Blood Searcher. Judging from my own experience. I believe that this i-oneof tlie most valuable medicines that woman can use, especially tho-e who are or have entered upon the decline of life (from 10 to 50 years of age). I feel that it would have above ingratitude on my my pait to have withheld this te-timony, and in thus consenting to appear a-a witness belore the public. I have been actuated solely with reference to the voice of conscience and duty. \ou aie at liberty to make whatever use you nuy deem pro per of this statement. Yours, respectfully, MARGARET W. O'DONNELL. LIVER COMPL.JL\~T CURED BY Litj.l sey's Improved Blood-Searcher.— PI air County, ss.
