But it is the journalist's business to represent matters as they are, and we expect to be obliged to re cord many unpleasant things. No picture is complete unless the shadows, as well as Hie lights, are represented, and the newspaper which aims ut faithfully portraying the daily life and spirit of the civilized world must take things as they are. But it must also do its best to urge and encourage imperfect human ' ity up to the highest possible attainments of life and virtue, and this Tun Rnortrritn means to do, as the bisit method of emphasiz ing its " Happy New Year" to nil its readers. 17=1:=0 Ptir ei• . 1 J I 1 1 lit • If .i I r. , o bout the State In regard to the desire.

The Republican press vors the movement, without an exception a , far as we know in the State, and the more 1. ere! and progressive members of the Democratic pasty are also in favor of it. A few Democratic kruals have spoken In opposition to a Constitutional Con vention, hut they have ndvancerno better and more cogent reason for doing so than,that It was first proposed by members of the It:- publican party. As we have Said before, this Is not a question to be considered or discuss ed in a partisan .sense at all, and the only groom! upon which. we have any desire to haVe the matter agitated at all is our convic tion.',that the interests Of the people of the whole State demand Constitutional revision sod reeorm. Mr. E. J. More, of thls city, who Is actively interesting himself in the Con. stitutional Convention movement, has lately received a letter front Mr. John Campbell, a romlnent Philadelphia Democrat, in which ,! r ? , - ie• its un i ita illed_Dpproyst ;4) the id 'ullonal Convention, at no member of his pe r it.

It Is-well to atop a moment to gather up the lessons lessons of the dying year beford• we welcome ` its successor. We live in the present RAAB', future, rather than In the past.f-but olft ! by carefully studying the past that we shall be able to rightly Improve the present as it comes to us out of the eternity of the future. Lilo Is too short and too precious to,bv. spent in vain regrets; but itle the wisdom_to profit by experience; and to avoid Tri time •ito come the errors which Slave marked the past. We can all of us see how many things might have been better done, and no one's life has I been so eventless thee there can not be drawn from it some lesson of either warning or en• conragement for the years to come. The way over which we have walked for the last twelve months may seem now to be lined huh mis takes and errors, but it must be remembered that It was an untried way to us, and if we acted honestly and thoughtfully as we passed along we need not burden ourselves now with regrets over what was not accomplished or what was poorly done. The Great Master knows• our imperfections—no one knows them so well as He—and He does not expect perfect lives from His imperfect children.' It is the 1 motives with which we do our work, rather I than the work which we accomplish, which Ile considers,and if we have labored earnestly, heartily and faithfully, trying to do ails will and humbly trying to. follow His guiding hand, the year has been a glorious success to us, even though it seems to us barren of re sults, and our day books and ledgers give but a beggarly record. We cannot retrace the path we have trodden during 1870, but , we can profit from its experiences in 1871 ; and our lives serve us but a poor purpose If we do not gather from the sw iftly passing years some lessons of hope and strength for the years to come. It is no light thing to step out Into n New Year, and as the Old Year dies and its successor takes the vacant place,let us try and make our lir,as purer, our hopes brighter, and our faith stronger.; for thus shall the New Year be a happy one to us, and It will pass along laden with the greatest pleasure—that of doing good to ourselves and to the world in which we are placed. THE PHILADELPHIA FIRE DE PARTMENT. The bill for the establishment of a Paid Fire Department in Philadelphia was signed by Mayor Fox on Thursday, and will go into effect nt once. The bill provides for an Exec utive Board of seven Fire Commissioners, three of them to be elected by the Select Council and four by the Common Council, who are to serve without salary for a term Of four years. The Chief Engineer is to have $2500 salary per year, and he Is to have five : assistants at $l2OO and , a messenger at $BOO. Twenty-two stentn fire engines and five hook • and ladder companies are to be employed, and to manage this apparatus there will be twenty-two enginemen at $lOOO each, twen• ty-two firemen at $BOO each, twenty-seven drivers at $750 each, twenty-seven firemen at $450 each, five tillermen at $750 each, and two hundred and twenty-six hose and laddek men at $360 each. The whole expense for salaries will be $167,610, and the other ex penses will probably be as much more. The sum of $40040 has been appropriated for the expense of 1871. The old volunteer sys tem is estimated to have cost the city about $1,000,000 annually In all, and 'the Philadel phians are greatly pleased at the change. Philadelphia has been unfortunate In her vol unteer firemen, for they have been rather to be dreaded and feared than confided in as guardians of the property N the city. Mayor Fox stated in n speech on Thursday that while hp was deliberating in regard to the expedi "ncy of signing the bill, he was waited uphn by a gentleman who said to him : "For God's sake, Mr. Mayor, sign that Utlt. I! have a ebn in the Eastern Penitentiary who owes his ram to the demoralizing influences of the volun— teer fire department." The Mayor was strongly inclined to veto the bill at first, but lie said that this appeal led him to consider the matter more carefully, and In the end to give It his approval. Quite an effort has been made to persuade the Mayor that a proper re gard to the Interests of hie party required him to veto the measure ; but the Mayor has very wisely concluded that he is Mayor of the whole city of Philadelphia, and not of the. Democratic party in that city, and that there fore it was not best to disregard the best Inter• este of his constituents as a whole. Tun stockholders of the Home Insurance Company at Niw Haven, Conn., have dis covered some rather startling facts. The stock has been nominally $1,000,000, but it has never been over $100,000; the Company has reported funds which It never possessed, and the present indebtedness of the Company is $200,000 above the assets. The agents have all been notified tojoop 'lssuing policies, and a eoennnttee has ?teen appointed to make investigation. In the great competition which has arisen during the past few years among Insurance Companies and Insurance Agents,there have been great temptations to overstep the bounds of prudence and safety in the transaction of business, and in many cases the real object of insurance has been lost sight of. It used to be jokingly said of one of the most successfll Insurance Companies in Mae. sichusetts, one which was always declaring fardividends, that the officers would Issue poll. cies nn nothing but stone fences, but a degree of caution which protects both' the insurer and the Insured is certainly better dint' a reckleSs. nese which pays regard to neither the one nor the other. der as crimes should be d for 21 years to be mended that all be proa• with mai- I== to Its own laws, tion and appeals State.

Fifty-two arlicies,mostly drugs, are placed upon the free list, and the duties upon nearly an equal number are re duced. Among the more important reduc tions are the following : the duty on tea Is reduced from twenty-five cents per pound to fifteen ; on coffee, from five to three cents per pound ; on new sugar, from three and one-half cents to one dnd three-fourths ; sugar above i No. 7, from four to two cents ; refined sugar, from- five to four cents ; cane molasses 1 from eight to five cents per gallon ; brandy, from three dollars to two dollars I per gallon ; liquors, from two dollars and a half per gallon to two per proof gallon ; wool, from thirty cents per pound to ten and eleven cents; steel railway bars, from two and a half cents per pound and ten per cent. to one and one fourth cents per pound i pig iron, from nine dollars to seven dollars per ton: IT Is not unalloyed pleasure to be a popular public man and be flooded with invitations to attend public gatherings, although it may doubtless seem so sometimes to obscure indi viduals who Are not troubled with compliment ary tickets for festive occasions. Gen. Sher man evidently thinks that greatness has its troubles and drawbacks, judging from the following extract from a letter written b) him, declining an invitation to the Plymouth, Mass. celebration of Forefathers' Day. "I must attend here (Washington) during the night e! Dlonday, the Ifith, a ball given for the bene. fit of the poor, of which Mrs. Sherman is a patroness, and I am announced ass manager. I must leave next morning for Philadelphia, to attend the grand opening, that evening, of Hothermell's picture of Gettysburg, In cam. Aliment to, and by earnest invitation .of, Gen eral Meade. If lam to acceptyour invitation, I would have to hurry away in order to reach Plymouth by noon of the 21st; then at 5 o'clock P. at. hurry away to get to Boston in time for the train for New York, where, ion the 22t1, I would have to dine out and go straight to the New England dinner at Del monleo's at U o'clock v, st. Now, I leave It to you if flesh and blood, weakened by fitly years' hard work, ought to be taxed In that style, and would I not be likely to reach 'the feast of the wits of New York a dull guest?" Dn. ACKfilt, our Congressman elect, dis cusses the gubernatorial question In the last issue of his paper, and considers it " pretty well settled that Gen. George W. Cass, of Allegheny county,will be the next Democratic candidate, and the next Governor of Penn— sylvania." Guess we had better have an election when the time comes, hadn't we, and see if the voters of Pennsylvania are all that 'vay of thinking. There msy be a few votem—about 350,000 or so—who would pre fer a man of a different political stripe, and we think Wulff ho well to have an election, notwithstanding our worthy Congressman's conviction that the question is already " pret ty well settled."'

N EIV PUBLICATIONS MY BUMMER IN A GARDEN. is a choke little book, written by Charles D. Warner, one ofl the editors of the Hartford Connecticut, Cbur• ant, and published by Fields, Osgood & Co., Boston. It is filled with the most delicious and delicate humor, and to have written this , book fairly entitles Mr. Warner to a re. cognized place in the very best class of mod . - ern humorists, The book gives no practical information about gardening, but every person who has ever worked ire a garden will sympai thize with Mr. Warner's graphic, recital of his experiences. Especially will some of our own gardeners and fruit raisers be touched with his remarks on boys, add with his reflections upon the hazard of raising choice fruit as long as boys i llve to steal it.. The book is richly worth. re4rig:for the liitzetir It contaitisond we coniniend it to . everybody who ever battled with weeds, bugs and kindred evils in endeay. oring to cultivate a garden. The price of the, work is a dollar, and Moss has it. Minust AND OTIIIiIt POEMS is the title or John G. Whittler's latest volume of poems, and poems. from his pen are always Welcome. Mr. Whitler stands as the representative Nest England poet, fur in his poems, more than In those of Longfellow and Lowell, we find repro sented the spirit of New England life. A broad Christian charity always pervades the writ ings of the kind hearted " Quaker Poet," and the lesson taught In "Miriam," the leading poem of this volume, is well expryssed In the following extract from it: " Truth is ono ; Aud, In all lauds beneath the sun, Whoso bath eyes to see may see The tokens of Its unity. No scroll of creed Its fulness wraps, We trace it not by school troy maps, Free as the sun and air it Is Of latitudes and boundaries. In Vedic verse, in dull Koran, Are messages of good to man ; The angels to our Aryan ekes Talked by the earliest household tires ; The prophets of the elder day, The slant•eyed sages of Cathay, Head not the riddle all amiss Of higher life evolved from this." There are some twelve or fourteen shorter poems in the volume, and they all make a book Mahout one hundred pages. It is nicely gotten up, as are all of the publications of Fields, Osgood & Co.

BLOWING COTTON.—This amusement Is 'a sitting-room game of the Jolliest sort. Let as many as may be sit around a table; sith hands folded and arms extended along the edge of the table, each person tonehleg elbows with his neighbor on each side of him. Take 'a small piece of common cotton batting, picked up so as to be made as light and airy as possible. Put this In the centre of the table. Let some one count "one, two, three," and then let each Apo Plow his best .to keep the.cotton away framthnself rind drive It upon some one else. The person on whom it alights must pay a forfeit. No one must take up his or her arms to escape the cotton. When it alights, take It up and start anew. It will be a very sober set Indeed, who can play two or three rounds without indulging in the heartiest sort of uproarious laughter. PENett, Ehtzvenza.=-Let those 'who take part gather around a table, each with paper and pencil. Let each draw the head of a man, woman, or any ,animal. 'No player musreee what kind of a head is drawn by his neighbor. Each player, having drawn a head, folds the paper so that the peed shall ant be seen, and passes the paper to his left hand neighbor, who must draw a body to suit the head, without seeingthe bend. Of course the. pa per must be so folded that the second player can know at what point to attach the body. Having drawn n'body, each' player folds We or her paper again as before, and passes it to his left band neighbor, who - draws the feet and legs, and fold ing the paper passes it as before. Each player them writes the name of site Indy or gentleman on the paper passed to him! ha one of the players is selected to collect and exhibit the draw ings tothe company. The results of the drawings will be found to be very amusing. Tux LLWTICIL—TIiosa who play this game choose one of their number for a lawyer.
