TUE DE.LTII OF TilE OLD VEAR.
_
I'ENNTSON.
galltnee deep lies the :winte(r'snow,
Ai3d - the winter winds are %charily sighing ;
Toll ye tile church hell Sad and slow;
And tread iotily and speak low,
For the old year lies a dying.
Old year, you nuts% not - die:
Yon come to us so readily,
You lived with us so steadily,
Old year, shall not die.
Ile lietb still; he doth not move ;
He will not see the dawn ofday,
He bath no ether life above,
He gave me a friend, and a true true-love
And the New Year will take 'em away.
Old year you must not go;
So long as you have been with us,
, Such joy as you have seen with us,
Old year, you shall not go.
Elefrotted his bumpers to the brim;
A jollier year we shall not see,
But tho' his eyes are growing dim,
And tho' his foes speak ill of him,
Be was a friend.to me.
Old year, you shall nut die ;
We did so laugh and cry with you,
I've half a mind to die with you,
Old year, if you must die,
He was full of joke and jest,
But all his merry (ribs are o'er,
To seetim die across the waste,
His son and heir doth ride poste-haste,
But he'll be dead before.
Every one for his own,
The night is starry and cold, my friend,
And the New Year blithe and bold, my
foe,
Come up to take his own.
How hard be breathes I over tho,snow,
I beard just now the crowing cock,
The shadows flicker to and fro,
The cricketchirps ; the tire burns low
'Tis nearly twelve o'clock.
Shake bands before you die,
. Old year, we'll dearly rue for you ;
What is it we can do for you
Speak out before you die.
Hie lace is glowing sharp and thin,
Alack ! our friend is gone,
Close up his eyes; tie up his chin ;
.step from the corpse, and let him in
' That standetb_ there alone,
Andwaiteth at the door ;
There's a .neap foot on the floor, my
friend,
And a new face at the door, my friend,
A new faee at the door.
BIRTII OF TILE NEW YEAR.
BY TENNYSON.
Ring out wild bells to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light ;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out wild bells, and let him die.
Ring outlthnold,ring in the new,
Ring, happy, trolls, aeross the snow,
The year is going, let him go ;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind
For those:that here we see no more ;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out a slowly dying cause,
Ind ancient forms Of party strife ;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the care, the want, the sin,
The faithless coldness of the tunes ;
Ring out., ring out, my mournful rhymes,
But rfeethe fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite ;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease ;
Ring oat the narrowing bait of gold ;
Ring out the thonsantewars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the Taliant and the free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand,
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring In the Christ that is to he.

and stood gazing utter the tall straight
form, the kingly head, covered with rings
of shining, curly brown hair, the slouch
fut,t pushed back front his broad white
forehead. and a cold shiver ran over her,
as she saw there was no turning to glance
back, but he walked on with rapid strides
down the path, and for some reason, per
haps not quite clear to her own mini),
the thoughts of the young heiress of Ben
ton farm reverted far more frequent than
usual, to the' ad face, and still more sol
emn warning, given by her love, respect
ing Jo Vaudere.
The short wintry day passed off at
last.
Ruby was a good girl, and she worked
the harder, helping her mother,in various
ways, about the household duties, and
chatting .with Betty Allen, the help, as
she folded the clothes for the week's iron
ing, and tried her best to rid her mind of
all unpleasant thoughts.
The en-)w lay deep and crisp, all over
the St. Lawrence hills and Hatt, and
sleighing parties were all the rage. Scarce
a night passed, that merry jingle of bells
and still merrier shouts of langhter,rung
out on the still night air, as sleigh after
sleigh, dashed over the smooth hard road,
filled with its gay companions, bent on
making the best of the bright moon
;fight nights.
A party bad been formed to go to P—,
about ten miles, the evening after our
story opens. They were to have a supper
and dance and then ride home, over the
white glittering road.
The partywas to consist of about ten
couples, and of course Ruby Benton, old
squire Benton's only child, the pride of
his heart, and the belle of the village,was
to be ono of the number.
Ruby was a round, plump little crea
ture, with bright sparkling black eyes,
rosy cheeks, and a mouth like ripe straw
berries. Her hair was short and curled
in round shining ringlets all over her
head.
She was a mischievons,fan loving little
elf, and there was scarce a young man in
he village Fho wound say with truth,
that the sight of those merry, bright
eyes, and laughing rosy countenance,
made nu impression on his mind if no:
his heart.
It was no wonder, among so many ad
mirers, that Ruby was sometimes at a loss
bow to choose her escort not that she
did not know well enough what her
preference was, but hi r warm little heart
shrank from doing anything calculated
to wound the feelings or pride of any
one.
Ruby was no coquette, but she had
been greatly annoyed on several occasions,
by what she took for groundless jealousy,
on the part of John Mowitt, and she
resolved to cure him effectually if possi
ble. Her busy little bruins was not long
forming plans to get even with him.
That he should suspect her of any
intention of allowing Jo Vandere to be
her escort, was a little too much.
Jo was a French Canadian, whom her
lather had hired, early in the summer, to
work on his farm. y fle was a perfect
stranger to the family, and to everybody
else in the village. He had worked toler
ably well during the season, and when
not otherwise employed, he made him
self quite useful training horses.
Squ.re Benton was very fond of horses
and owned a number of fine ones, among
them, the famous sorrfl colt, mentioned
by John, and said to be the fastest tiot.
ter in the country, an evidence of Van
dere's skill as a horse trainer.
In statue, Jo was rather under size,
slender but lithe, and wiry as a cat. He
was a graceful dancer, and a good singer,
and n eyed well n the guitar, which
made him an acceptable acquisition to .
the young people.
lie was very polite and courteous iii
his manners. and might have been called
goodlooking, with his jet black hair,
curley, and glossy as silk, and his great
dreamy, slomberous black eyes, but the
furtive steady gleam,that shot from be.
need.% the half-close lids, gave a sinster,
suspicious look to his countenance, that
effectually destroyed any claim to beauty
that it might otherwise have had. He
seemed to know everybody, though no
body seemed to know anything about
him, who be was or where he came from.
For the first, be had been one of lin-
by's most devoted admirers, and more
than once it had occured to honest, intel
ligent John Mowitt,that the wily French
man was casting his luminous glances
toward Ruby rather more frequently than
he cared to witness, and the -thought
that crossed his mind more than once,
that Jo might in his treacherons,cunning
way, worm himself into,the Squire's good
gr4c.eq,..4nd,carry off the prize at, last.

sible:. • "
This made Jo,though oponly courteous,
-secretly his bitter enemy ; but, except on
a,Very few occasions, had he ever dared
to show his haired. '
John was fond and proud of horses,
and consequently Jo availed himself of
every opportunity to show off his skill as
a horseman. •
John had too much pride and dignity
to quarrel openly. and always treated
Jo with an easy off-hand contempt, that
stung the hot.tempered Frenchman to
the quick.
Ruby shared John's distrust of him,
and she was the more irritated that he
should seem the least jealous.
She determined, therefore, to cure him
on the first possible occasion.
They were to have au early supper and
start about six o'clock.. So, directly after
dinner Ruby sent the promised note by
Sam, their half•grown errand boy, saying
she was not feeling well, and declined to
go.
She knew, though, that this would , not
prevent John from going, and that he
would in all probability, call as he passed
the house.
Jo was to drive the sorrel colt and was
going alone.
Just be tore it was time to start she
called Sam, took him up to her room and
dressed him up in ±i cloak of her own,put
a clo,sebood on his bead; wound her far
dam around his neck, tied a thick veil
over her face, and then told Jo to put
him into the sleigh, tuck bim-up-witb
the buffalo robes, and wait till
-they saw
John,corniag pg . the road, and thep , start
out ahead.
They had not many minutes to wait,
and llu3t as Black Bolivar's head appear
ed ar6uud the corner, Jo dashed out be
fore him, and went tearing down the
road at a tremendous rate, the icy balls
!lying from the fleet sorrel's hoofs in every
direction..
Btu the magnificent black, his sides
covered with foam, was only prevented
from passing, by the strong arm of his
master,who held him in check just enough
to cause the other to show his best speed.
About a mile before they reached the
hotel, John gave him his head, and on he
dashed, leaving Jo and his sorrel some
distance behind, and never slackened his
speed till he drew up before the door of
the hotel.
Jumping out of his sleigh, be stepped
upon the piazza, which was filled with
people, many of whom were acquaintan
ces of his.
Just as he turned to go into the house
otter giving directions about his horse,
Jo drove up, jumped out, seized Sam by
the arm, pulled him hastily out of the
sk3igh, led him up the steps, straight up
to where John stood, and with a low bow
and mocking smile, begged the privilege
of introducing to him Miss Ruby Benton,
at almost the same instant he pulled off
the veil and hood, revealing Sam's red
face, and shock head.
The act was greeted by a loud peal of
laughter from those standing by, and
vlio, not understanding the nature of the
insult, supposed it was an innocent joke,
but John stung to madness by the ipso
lent trick, seized the Frencbman by the
collar, with one hand. and applying the
other to Sam's ears, in the way of several
sound slaps. ordered him to get back into
the sleigh, and start home again instant
ly. Frightened and glad to escape, Sam
grabbed the whip and reins, and started
in a keen gallop towards home. Vandere
tried his best to extricate himself from
his enemy's hand, but John pushing him
off at arm's length, raised his heavy whip
and without speaking a word, gave him
about a dozen lashes, then lifting him
over a tailing, as easy as it he had been a
baby,he dropped the luckless Frenchman
into a pile of soft snow, then, turned on
his heel and walked into the house.
The evening proved. 3 merry one to
-most of the party, but to John it. passed
off in the dullest possible manner, and
at an early hour he ordered his horse,and
started for home.
He had not intended coming any far•
Cher than Squire Benton's,after receiving
Ruby's note, and the object and meaning
of Vandere's insolent conduct was some
thing he could not understand. He never
once dreamed that Ruby had anything to
do with it. His sleigh was very light,
but open at the back, though covered
over by the ample buffalo robes.
On starting he had noticed nothing
unusual in the arrangement of the robes,
or tae slight form of a man half coiled
up under the seat, or on the bottom of
the sleigh.
The night was clear, and the snow was
dazzling white. Old Bolivar was going
at a swift rate along the frozen road, and
Mowitt sat with his head on his breast,
thinking of Ruby, and Vandere's insolent
trick. There was no sign of auy one in
1
sigh t.
Slowly the form raised itself from un
der the fur robes, sprang to his feet, and
drawing a heavy mace-like club, dealt
him a terrific blow just behind the ear.
Stunned for a moment slowitt dropped
the reins, and fell heavily against the
dash board. but quickly recovering him
self, he sprang up and grabbed the man's
arm just as he had raised it, to deal him
a second blow.
Crushing him back, the mace flew on.

there %&s a flash of steel, and blowit
felt a stinging sensation in hisf t shout
der.
Despite this, and Vandere's almost
frantic effort to get loose from his hold,
Mowitt turned the but of his whip, and
giving him three or four tremendous blows
on the head, sank down insensible in the
bottom of the sleigh.
The next looming old farmer Mowitt
and his good wife were awakened out of
their early Sleep by the low neighing of a
horse.
trustily drawing on his clothes, the old
gentleman hurried out into the yard.
Under a large shed near the stable
•stood Brack Bolivar, while in the sleigh .
weltering in frozen blood, lay the insensi
ble form of his son.
In the back of the sleigh lay .the slight
but muscular form of Vandere.
Calling for help- they carried John into
the house. He lay in a long, dead faint,
and it wag boars
,before he showed the
least sign of life.

MESMERISM AND FRAUD
The first prompter or animal magnetism, the
German, Mesmer, mabtained that the universe
is pervaded by a subtle element exercising a re
markable Influence on the human body, and
identical with the magnetic element. The lat
est exponent of..the German's principles, a
youthful and sharp-witted woman, who has re
cently been making a triumphal tour through
New England, appears to believe that the sub-
tie element to which Mesmer alluded was - a
humbug. This feminine apostle of a man who,
toward the close of the last century, riveted the
attention of all Europe upon himself and his
singular experiments, bears the romantic.name
of De Montford; and has been gathering im
mense audiences to witness her miraculous
manifestations. She has been praised as presen
ting to all who bare given her their, attention,
the same singular phenomena—the same inex
nib:able control over other human beings by
means of which Mesmer attracted the investi
gation of such men as Benjamin Franklin, Lay
ulster, Le Roy, Bory,Gillotin, and Sallin. Those
able and accomplished scientific DUD made a
report to the French Royal Academy of Icien
cm in which they-ventured the opinion that
magnetism was one more fact to be. recorded
in the histoty of the errors of the human mind
and an important experiment upon the powers
of the imagination, and added that "it will not
have been altogether valueless for the philoso
phy which pronounces its condemnation."—
They did not fame the time when
.Laplace,Ag
oasis, Cuvier, and Sir Wm. Hamilton, would
each and all give much consideration to the
claims of mesmerism; but, disgusted with the
mummeries and trickeries performed by 'Mes
mer, they condemned his practice utterly.
People are always credulous with regard to
animal magnetism and the mediums who claim
to understand its mysteries, and it is . not slap-
.
lar that a !shrewd Woman, possissed of unlimit
ed assurance and strong nerves, shOuld have
aucceded in decieving a vast number of persons
by very simple tricks. Her method was to hire
a hall in a.large oity.or town, and when 'awn.;
ences had assembled to witness her performan- .
ces, to call up from among the spectators some
irdividual whom she would forthwith rob of
his will to that extent that he was impassive in'
her hands. Some of the mesmeric feats which
she performed before large assemblages were
astonishing until her method of procedure was
exposed. A manifestation which excited mach
awe:and admiration consisted In throsving the

THE HOTEL OF THE FUTURE
A Berlin paper describes • the coming Ameri
can Hotel as follows: It is to have a frontage
of 3 English miles long,and a depth of 9 miles;
the height of 77 stories ; will measure 8,480 ft.
from the ground floor to the roof. The hotel
will have no stairs ,but 500 balloons will always
be ready to take visitors up to their rooms. No
room waiters are to be employed, but visitors
will be served by a newly patented automaton;
put up in every bed-room,'which will do all
shavipg,shampooning, &c., to the guests by a
very simple and ingenious mechanism.' Should
the guests require hot water, the automaton
will be able to call down stairs "A bucket of
water up to *room No. 1,003,407;" and the water
will be put up in seven seconds by,a patented
elevator.. Half ,an hour before table d'hote, in-

during meals, will be played gratis, by 8 bands
of 77 men each. For the convenience of visit
