An old year dead ! A new Year born !
I greeting come this New Tear's morn,
Whilst the chime and the rhyme,
Of this cc-o-rious time,
Can be marked in the pace,
And the smiling face,
And the eye and the tongue
Of the old and the young.
Nobody is sad, nobody is old,
Nobody is cross or crabbed or cold ; V
And that struggling brain
Of the man of gain
Has ceased its toil of hard turmoil,
And rich and poor are happy to-day,
And mix and mingle in their play.
I'd give a trifle just to see
A whole round year, a jubilee,
Of just such feeling here below . 7
As all to-day both share and show ! .
Wc arc proud of our town,
And proud of ourself;
We arc proud of our Land, .
And who cares for pelf!
We arc free 1 we are free ! "
And a Jew can but sec
That something has happened "
To you and to me !
We laugh and we smile
And are glnd all the while;
We arc happy and free !
Running over, you see,
For thia New Year's morn
I like being re-born !
GRATULATORT.
The rurgings of the perished year
Swept past, alternate hope and fear,
Dredging deep down lo foulct deed
And rising to a Nation Freed !
Its first fair morning booming in
With cannon's fiercest battle din,
And rising higher till April's sun
Revealed its highest climax done;
Until our Martyred Patriot fell,
Scaling the cause he loved so well
With his own blood, for which we weep,
And will as long as martyrs sleep.
Thai was enough ! High Heaven decreed
Our chastened Nation should be freed,
And Peace, on halcyon wing again,
Spread o'er the Land from main to main,
And hallalujah's echoing rose
Throughout the icorld that manhood's foes
Had succumbed to the jut decree
That man's true state was to be free !
Historic page will make it clear
That was the grand, deciding year;
A precedent, which for all tinv,
Among all pcoplf, every clime,
To staud forever immutably,
Wrong shall vol reign o'er Liberty!
Many a heart-pang, many a pain
It cost, tills precedent to gain,
But now achieved we count it cheap,
A harvest for a IVorld to reap I
Whilst all who suffered here shall be
Rcliced in our high destiny,
Foundation stones, eternally
Planted to hold up Liberty !
The sorrows of the perished year
Sink out of sight and disappear
Whilst in our joy we contemplate
The glory of our new estate !
The opening view that spreads before,
i no effulgent, radient o'er
With all that man dare ask to share
Upon this earth -of sin and care,
Bewilders with the dazzling Jight
Our unaccustomed, finimte sight ! m
Thank God, for it is He who brought ,
This joy for which our people fought. ). -f
PI, AGUES.
I suppose I have a right to day
On any theme to have my say:
To Congress I would put my plea
And ask them why such men as Lee,
Ae Johnston, Semmes and Beauregard
Should be allowed to play their card
And breathe the pure air of our Land,
Traitors of the rankest brand 1
Away them all ! yes drive them hence,
Hang them or make them jump the fence !
Drive them away, this land too good
To drink their traitor-poisoned blood I
Away 1 their presence taints the air.
Away from us go anywhere 1
Take Jeff along, it will not pay
To argue o'er his case a day ;
He stands condemned with all bis crew,
We'd have them all beyond our view :
Let them seek out some flead Sea ground
Where happiness was never found,
And let them spend their blackened day
Where sun sheds not her cheering ray I

'Twas old Buchanan filled the cup
And now he drinks the dregs,

They tried to get upon their pins

When even Jersey cut them cold,
The hardest cut of all !
And now they have not cloth enough

Whoever saw such fallen prido,

In power long they sported free,

Till slavery threw the chains on them,

And this reminds of Hanian's fate,

OUR TOWN.
I thought I'd say a little now ' -
About our tuwn and men ;
For enterprize is evident " 0
And should attract my pen.
I'm glad that "ile upon the brain"
Did tail to craze them so
That home-improvement, factory themes
They did not quite forgo;
That factory should be fuur times
As large as what we see,
And would have been, I think, if "ile"
Had not been haunting all the while
With its soft flattery !
And I must think if these had choice
At least excepting one
They'd draw their stock and place it here
And say they played for fun I
Our town is just as nice an one
As you -find any where ;
Its buildings and its business street
With any will compare.
I might, just here, the ladies puff
But they have such a sleight
To do their business of this kind
I'll yield lo them the right,
And simply say, that they are gay,
And walk on their uneven way,
In various colors, day by day,
As happy as the birds of May,
I But whether they work most or play
I really have not time to say,
Besides I would not them betray,
They have such a controling way
I might find out it didn't pay.
I wish 1 hadn't said anything about
"cur Town" ! Just see what an inconsider
ate subject I have run into ! Naturally
slippery, postry makes it entirely uncon
trolable, and my pen has run away from me I
It is really more unmanageable than "ile" ! !
CONCLUSION.
And now my friends, I wish you here
A happy time, a favoring year ;
And weekly as I re-appear, "
Contented in your allotted sphere,
With blessings yours you hold most (fear,
I hope to sec you in good cheer,
And every duty plain and clear,
With every aid and helper near.-
How much of good you wish to mc
I'll judge by "stamps;" if they come free
'TwiH'be enough to plainly see
That you and I at once agree,

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
It may require debate and force of thought
To lead you to amend the thing you ought,
Rut 'tis for you young man, the candidate,
Vote for yourself ov for your ruia wait.
The amendment of the constitution
which I mean should be amended, is not
waiting the ratification of two thirds ofjthue to read it) even after it is pointed
the States to become a law, but is one ont to von illls;ness ours;(7e is s0
waiting your action, young man it con
cerns the community iu which you live
in general and you in particular. Your
constitution; as well as character, has
1 n: ji J :
uuua getting sauiy out oi joiuu uunug iuu
last few years, and it is just here, and for
your sjiccial benefit I would see an amend
mcnt. What is the hight of your ambi
tion and the depth of your principle ?
"What have you done worth doing iu the
past, and what philanthropic purpose have
you in view for the future ? How much
do you care for the home of your child
hood beyond a convenient place to eat
and sleep ? Are home joys any joys to
you, and do you not often stave off a sis
ters society to meet our society in base
ments or bar-rooms, or in some other even
less disreputable place 1 You are all the
time thirsting for an excitement that poi
sons, and you do not stop to think of the
needed amendment. You are feeding on
air and it is a tainted air. The varnish
on your paper collar is of more vital im
portance to you than the solid contents
of a book on moral worth or christian
philosophy. The bible is no comparison
to a satin cravat, and exquisitely black
ened boots far exceed Webster's large
quarto !
Young man, if vou were turned inside
out you would exhibit a sorry spectacle, for
you are an allitudinal superficiality with
out a moral brace or support within you.
Why is this your condition ? Because
you don't vote for your own amendment.!
A few years ago a good trade and a
good book were popular amongyoung men,
and they even worked hard to lay a stone
wall or plaster a ceiling, now you find
very few young masons and - carpenters,
and if a young man must work at all he
wants "light work," isn't healthy, and
can't stand lime or hemlock timber.
They love delicate ladies and want to be
delicate too, and when they get paired off
they make a delicate show in the world.
I want to see an amendment before
that day of paring off comes, for I am iu
favor of true manhood ; only this sort of
manhood can yield true happiness. There
is a game of cheat constantly studied and
practiced by both sexes, and when that
game results in a tic they can do their
own sympathizing ; we will leave the
case on their own hands. They may then
realize what I foretold of the needed a
mendment. When I see knots of young men loun
ging at the street corners to make ungen
tlemanly remarks of every pasier-by I
think of the amendment.
When I hear a young man use profane
language all the week and see him at
church on Sunday to spend the hour
squinting under every fool-tastic shape on
a female head I see the need of amend
ment.
When I find a young man who does' net
realize that he has a mind capable of im
nrovement but uses his conversational
powers in bragadocicwaud slang I feel like
urging him to the amendment. In short
when I sec a young man who, does not
aspire to the elevated position which it is
a man's duty and privilege to attain I
would pray him to vote immediately for
the amendment.
Young man, by your course, you are
insulting Ileaven and yourself! How
P.-isv vou are insulted ! A little side-cut
j
from one of your comrades flares you up
jQto a monstrous desperado, ready to
. nQC down, drag out, and perhaps kill,
. , r take one 0ber thought or call
in a cool reasoning judgment ! Bragado
cio, not bravery drives yon into many
such-an encounter. You are not a think
ing being or you would not be in such
company and the occasion would uot be
offered. Country people have an impres
sion that country character is a grade
higher than the city kind, but I have
found noble examples of noble young
men in the city, whilst in the country
towns and villages I have found such ox

young America has spread himself over

0, for those good old times and bappy scenes
When boys were boys all through their live
ly teens:
When mothers drilled their girls of years a
score
To fit them for wife duties on before.
But I don't expect, young man, you
will see this lecture of Mr. Whackham
nier's unless your mother or sister points
it out to vou. You don't come down to
th j facts. You will hardly take
pressing. The hours you keep would in
dicate that you are making great advan
ces some way, and it is my opinion that
'you arc. Beware! sir!
You are leaving
your best mends tor those who are not
your friends butvho, after they get you
in trouble, will be the first to desert you.
Thai you will see you should have look
ed to the amendment before.
Your constitution, now impaired,
Maybe amended or repaired,
If you but breathe pure air away
From every dangerous, wicked way ;
And you will grow in manhood's strength
Through life, whatever be its length.
Your life is groveling now but then
You'll take your proper place with men
And you will find the amendment good
When it is rightly understood.

The Powor of the Heart.
Lot any any one, Tvhile sitting down,
place the left leg over the knee of the
right one, and permit to hang freely, a
bandoniog all muscular control over it.
Speedily it may be observed to sway for
ward and backward through a limited
space at very precise and regular inter
vals. Couuting the number of these mo
tions from any given time, they will be
found to agree exactly with the beatings
of the pulse. Every oue knows that, at
fires, when the water from the engine is
forced through bent hose, the tendency
is to straighten the hose, and if the bend
be a sharp one, considerable force is ne
cessary lo overcome the tendency. Just
so it is in the case of the human body.
The arteries are but a system of hose,
through which the blood is forced bv the
heart. When the leg is bent, all the ar
teries within it are bent too and every
time the heart contracts the uiood
sushing through the arteries tends to
straighten them ; and it is the effort
which produces the motion, of the leg al
luded to. Without such oscular demon
stration, it is diihcult to conceive the
power exerted by that exquisite mechan
ism, the normal pulsations or which arc
never perceived by him whose very life
they are.
Something about Sugar;
It is asserted that the use of sugar was
known to the ancient Hebrews. The first
distinct notice of the sugar-cane is the
account of the expedition undertaken by
. , , T. . i !
Alexander. It aoscars to have been cul- i

to Barbadoes, and thence to West India j
Islands. The boiling and breaking was
first practiced in Europe in 1420 :
and
the art of refining sugar and of forming
it into cones was communicated by a Vet
eran in 1550.
Curious Journey of a Needle.
A gentleman of Chicago, a few days
since, cut from tho left hand of an ac
quiutance in that city a piece of needle
five eights of an inch long, which was
broken off in the palm of the right hand
six years ago. He Etates that the first he
felt of thc needle was about six months
in the wrist of his left arm. The
needle was much corroded, and the gen
tleman will of course preserve it as a cu
riosity, it having traveled the entire
length of both arms, besides passing
through his body Needles which have
been lost in the flesh have before been
known to make strange passages, but this
is one of the most curious cases on record.
A Spiritual Cheat,
An amusing affair occurred at an exhibi
tion of Spiritual manifestations in Bo3ton,
on Friday night. A shrewd person pres
ent, in order, to satisfy himself as to the
corporeality of a "spiritual hand" which
was shown in an aperture in a "cabinet"
used, supplied himself with a syringe
filled with ink, aud watching a favorable
opportunity, squirted the dark fluid over
the digits and wrist of the phantom mem
ber. On emerging "from the cabinet, the
hand of the lady who had previously been
bound inside, was examined, and the
inky marks liberally found upon it. The
consequence was a denouncement of the
affair as a humbug, a denial of the im
peachment, aud a grand finale made up

ence, and the passage of resolutions de

Cooking an Old Hen.
The editor of the Massachusetts Plough
man, who is something of a wag withal,
discourses as follows on the abovo men
tioned feat in culinary science :
As we had occasion a few a days ago
to state the age at which a chicken passes
from chicken to hen-hood, and alluded to
the difficulty of making an old fowl ten
der some obligation to say that there is a
method of doing even this.
The French do it any way. Wonder
ful people" those French are, in the cook-
line.
With us it is an eternal roast and boil.
And the thing can't be done in that way.
Our people seem to have an abhorrence
of "messes," and the consequence is wc
contrive to make the largest quantity of
meat do the least possible service in the
way of fcediug a hungry appetite. Put
an old hen, or an old cock either, a3 to
that matter, iuto the pot or down to the
fire for tho prescribed length of time, and
it becomes tougher and harder. We pre
sume there can be no doubt of that ; if
there is try it and you'll surely find it so.
But there are other ways of making her
not only more wholesome, but more ten
der, palatable and valuable.
Take, for example, what the French
call pot-aufeu. "We haven't anything
just like it in this country and so we
don t exactly know what to call it. It
really means "pot on the fire." At any '
rate it is the solace of a Frenchman and t
is familiar to ever French woman who
knows the first thing about cooking in all
classes of society from the" highest to the
lowest. Here the old hen is the prin
cipal ingredient. She adds not only
strength but flavor. But she isn't thrown
in whole, to be boiled for 'dear life as we
cook that venerable bird. She is cut up
into small joints and simmered for a long
time, hours together, till her flesh be
comes soft and tender, and leaves tho
bones and turns to a pulp. Now the de
licacy of flavor of this delicious dish is
due to the old hen. and it isn't merely
what iorms it as it is brought upon our ; morning till night, no word passing his"
tables, but every part goes in, such as the i;ps but the solemn, ever recurring "No
neck, the head, the gizzard, the liver , 0-bite." His only recognition was a va
heart and the feet. And it is'nt the poor, 1 cant stare and "No-o-bite " So it ran orr
who are obliged to be economical, in
France, that eat and revel in this dish.
It is the easy classes who live on their very ccarj procurcci his discharge. He"
incomes as well. This "pot on the fire" . carac to tbe hospital with the document.'

Carious Discovery.
Glass may even be turned in a lathe. '
Strange as it scorns, this is literally true.
No special tools even arc needed. Any
amateur turner, who has operated on eith
er of the metals may chuck a piece of
frlnss on this lathe, and turn it with the
same tools, aud in tho same way as he
would a piece of steel, only taking care
to keep the chips from his eyes. This
strange- discovery was made, almost ac
cidentally, in the early part of 1860, by
one of our most celebrated mechanical
engineers, and might have been patented,
but thc inventor contented himself with
simply putting it on record and gencr
ouly presented it to the nation, The
consequence was that no one thought or
cared anything about it, and the idea has
been suffered to be nearly barren, though
capable of being turned to great account.
Let any amateur mechanic make the ex?
perimentj and he will bo surprised . at
the caso with which this seemingly in
tractiblo material may be cut and fash
ioned to his will. Ghambor's Journal.
A Surprise to a "Wood Thief. v
A gentleman living in Terre Haute";
whose stove wood melted away faster than
was warranted by the mildness of thff
weather, charged a fine looking stick
with a few ounces of powder, and left it
on top of the pile. The Express thus"
relates the sequel :
"Wednesday forenoon, an explosion
was heard in a house near by and a kitch
en window was spared no panes. On go
ing to the spot, a sight might have been'
seen. The stove had joined a peace confer
ence, a kettle of pork and cabbage shot up'
through the roof like an arrow. A dish
of apples stewing on the stove, gave the'
ceiling the appearance ot a map of Cali
fornia. A cat that was sleeping under
the stove, went through the broken win
dow, as though she was after the devil or
the doctor. The cat has not been heard
from since but a smell of burnt hair per
vades that house very thoroughly. A
flat-iron was hoisted into a pan of doughy
a chair lost three legs, the wood-box looks'
sick, while the root of the house resem
bles a bursted apple dumpling."
What a world of tricks and dodges
were invented during the war by the?
poor fellows who had got in and wanted
to get out of the army. The officer was"
telling us the other day of a soldier, who,
shortly after going into camp, was taken
insane. His appearance, actions, and ev
erything about him betokened absolute'
insanity. All day long he would sit in
his tent with a little stick and a string'
attached, raising and lowering it in a sort
of fishing pantomine, saying in a low mo
notonus voice every time he raised it.
"No-o-bite," "No-o-bite." This he con
tinued for some weeks, and ho was at'
length sent to the hospital. Here he was
carefully examined and closely watched,
for it was suspected at first that he was"
"shamming." Still he had the same va
cant stare in his eye, the same idiotic ex
pression of countenance, the same indif
ference to everything about him, and still
he fished with his stick and thrnarl frnrrv
for a couple of months, and the young'
man's father at length tho case being so'
Ionian. "T'vo n-nr. vnnr rlisnhnrfrn finrT

Our Territorial Extent.
The total area of the United States and1
its territories is 3,230,572 square miles.
Its territorial extent is therefore nearly
ten times as large as France, Great Bri
tain, Austria, Prussia, Spain, Portugal,
Belgium, Holland and Denmark together;
one and one-half time as large as the Rus
sain Empire in Europe ; one-sixth less1,
only than the area covered by the fifty
nine or sixty Empires, States and Re
publics of Europe; of equal extent with"
the Roman Empire, or that of Alexander,
neither of which is said to have exceeded
3,000,000 square miles. .
Watering Plants with Iron.
It is stated as a new discovery that?
wonderful effects may be obtained by wa
tering fruit trees and vegetablers with a"
solution of sulphate of iron. Tinder this'
system beans will grow to nearly doublo

j savory taste. The pear seems to be par-
ticularly well adapted for this treatment:
