The Death of the Old Year.
BY ALYBSD TENRrsorr
Full knee deep lia3 the winter snow,
And the winter winds are Wearily sighing ;
Toll ye the church , bell.sad and slow,
And tread softly , and speak low,
Old Year, yOu rigid
You.eitme to fis:so'readily ;
You llvedwithAreqoAteadily.;
Old Year, yon roust not die.
He lieth still ; he doeth not move ;
He will not see the dawn of day ;
He bath no other life above :
He gave me a friend, and a true, true-love, -
And the New Year will take 'em away.
Old Year, you most not go ;
So long as you have been with us,
Such joy as you have seen with us,
Old Year, you shall not go.
He frothed his bumper to the brim :
A jollier year we shall not see ;
But though his eyes are waxing dim,
And though his foes speak ill of him,
He was a friend to me.
Old Year, you shall not 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 so full of joke and jest,
But all his merry quips are o'er.
To see him die, across the waste
His son and heir doth ride post-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
friend,
Comes up to take his own.
How hard he breathes ! over the snow
I heard just now the crowing cock.
The shadows flicker to and fro ;
The cricket chirps; the light burns low ;
'Tis nearly twelve o'clock.
Shake hands before you die.
Old year, we'll dearly rue for you ;
What is it we can do for you ?
Speak out before you die.
His face is growing 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 atandeth there alone,
And waiteth at the door.
There's a new foot on the floor, my friend.
And a new face at the door, my friend.
A new face at the door.
emuorra OsciN, on COINOIDENCA.--On Wednes
day night, March 20th, or rather Thursday
morning at three o'clock, the inhabitants of the
metropolis were roused by repeated strokes of
the new great bell at the houses of Parliament,
Westminster, and most persons supposed it was
for a death in• the royal finnily. • There might
have been about twenty slow strokes when it
ceased. It proved, however, to be due to some
derangement of the clock, for at four and five
o'clock ten or twelve stroke!; were struck in
stead of theproper number. ^ On mentioning
this in the morning to a friend who is deep in
London antiquities t he observed, that there is
an opinion in the city that anything the matter
with St. Paul's Cathedral great bell is an omen
of ill to the 'royal 'family . ; and, he added, "I
hope the opinion will not extend to the West
minster bell." This was at eleven on Friday
Morning ; and it was not till one A. 1.1., the
Duchess of Kent was considered in the least
danger, and then she expired in less than twen
ty-four hours. Ido not pause to comment on
this curious coincidence, but I am told the
kernenotion prevails at Windsor. —Notes and
Queries.
ONE or CROKIVNLVS Dzscasnsivrs Dnext.—The
Rev. Itobert Johnson, who died recently , in New.
Castle, Lawrence county, Pa., was a lineal de:
scendant of Oliver Cromwell, by Bridget, his
eldest daughter, who was first the wife of Gen.
Fleetwood, and afterwards of Gen. Ireton. Re
was licensed to preach the Gospel by the Pres
bytery of Ohio in 1803, spent a year as a mis
sionary in Ohioand Kentucky, and was success
ively pastor of the churches of Scrubgrass and
.Bear Creek, Meadville, Sugar Creek and Con
neaut lake, Rehoboth and Round Hill, and
Bethel in:lndiana county, and took an active
part in all the educational, temperance and re
ligious movements of the last fifty years. The
E. P. Swift, D. D., 'delivered a sermon before

Presentation of Colors to the 89th N. Y
Regiment.
In reply to the resolution of the House of
Representatives requesting the Secretary of
War to furnish all the General Order issued with
reference to the transportation of troops, and
munitions of war by railroad and also all orders
designating the amount to be paid for such pur
pole, the Secretary submits a report from Quar
ter Master General Meigs in which it is stated
that the Quarter Master General has issued no
General Orders on the subject.
Accompanying the report is a copy of a letter
from the War Department, dated July 12, 1861,
establishing a tariff of prices for the transporta
tion of troops and stores and directions- to all
Quarters Masters and others engaged in pro
viding transportation to send the troops and
stores by the most direct route.
The following is a general basis of prices :
Each passenger per mile two cents for the dis
tance moved, and equipments, munitions and
supplies accompanying the regiments at first
class local rates which will average about as
follows : Thirty miles or less, ten cents per
pound ; there being a corresponding reduction
.for greater distances, so that for three hundred
and fifty or four hundred miles the amount
would not exceed ninety cents per hundred
pounds.
As to the transportation of horses, full oar
loads of thirteen or fourteen horses, were usu
ally charged as 18,000 pounds.
All other supplies forwarded by freight trains
are charged local rates, according to the claini
thation of property, which will usually average
on provisions and heavy freight two or three
i:ents per ton of two thousand lbs. a mile. Dry
goods, clothing or light goods, will average
three to five cents per ton of 2,000 lbs. per
mile.

usual to-day, while the others are paying out
small sums to customers ; there is but little
demand, however, for it. Arrangements have
been made for an advance of specie by the

SUSPENSION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS.
PHILADRLPHIA, Dec. 30
In consequence of the suspension of specie
payments by the banks of the city of New York,
the Board of Presidents of the Philadelphia
banks met this morning before ten o'clock, and
unanimously resolved to suspend the payment
of specie. No specie has consequently been
paid tc.-day, except in the way of change. The
suspension canned no excitement, and but little
embarrassment will be experienced by the busi
ness community in consequence. The banks of
the city were never in better condition, and
most of them have an abundance of gold and
silver in their Vaults.

The surrender of Mason and Slidell, and the
suspenilon of specie payments by the New
York banks has produced a feeling of relief in
business circles.
A Naw Out.—A singular addition to Ghia

where they were for weeks at a time with wet

killed. We mention this curious act for the
benefit of those troubled hi this manner, and
hope that every man so afflicted will immedi
ately enlist.
