ADBBSSS OF TH1 BOX
TO THE PATRONS OF THE
"COLUMBIA DEMOCRAT."
n ii 'i i iiiv,ras-&--3-Kaajaj3OT'
It long inij been tlio cu-toni, nt least it has hrro,
For thu (jAtiuir.it DoY, on tho lirst of each year,
To liave an Aiiduess for his patrons;
Ami, if you'll net bo thinking 1110 bolil,
For about two shillings they ro usually solil
To b'hoys, men, iniies ami inatroiu.
So, I'ollotiiug this cus-torn, ami ''custom mako.i law,"
Hero conies my Aidiii:sh, so your weasel skin draw,
And out with your shining quarter,
For I certainly think you ''ortcr !''
For tho CAiininp. Dor, with the neat DGUlOOrat.
Mas culled every week, all proper and pat, .
. Rut I euro not for this, or littlu for that,
If you'll buy my Addiikss, for I hereby confess,
The eo'idition tny wallet is in,
Forbids nie to think of oysters or drink,
Of iniiico pics or plum cake, I dare not partake,
For you tee, I am minus tho "tin;"
So if I agree, between you and me,
To servo you weekly again,
Ami bring you tin' Dkmoi iiat, prompt it well printed,
My Ammitss, for two shilling, as above hinted,
'Nniy onu'' of you need to complain.
Then hail 1 kind reader?, another New Year
Ila-i found ii.", poor mortal., all 'bobbing 'rout.iV' huro;
And this fact to all, will doubtless appear
In sort of a mixed up measure.
Pome are up to tilth' eyes in clover,
Feasting on turkey, goose, chicken and plover,
Drinking champagne, or lager, or giu,
J'lavino; at billiards or polar like i-iu,
Or smoking eijrar.s at their leisure,
Or (hiving last horses, ''two-forty or &o ;"
Indulging in fa-hions from top to tho too,
Or any, aud all sorts of pleasure.
And fonio, who are less favored, ive'ro told,
Are sufforii g with hunger, or shivering with cold,
And have not the means, it actually seems,
To pm chase the comforts of life
For themselves, or babies, or wife ;
A bad situation for folks to be in,
Without any victuals, or clothing, or "tin,''
A sad state of things, I am sure;
Rut ''sicli'' is lil'f, a conglomeration,
(load, bud, and indifferent, in every Station,
All have more or loss to eiidnre ;
Then away with sad mu-ings, 'tis New Ynir's day !
And a great many other things ytt I've to say,
For the duee all over last year was to pay.
Good Father Time drives on the fleeting years,
As if thu gray haired villain hnd no fears
til" growing old, and was not doomed to dio ;
And yield hi- place to vast eternity.
N. et tliis sslmit year, so quickly gliding by,
Wa filled with deeds of notoriety.
Grim wiasjfd war, with desolating train,
.Sweeps, ruthless o'er A'irginia's fertile plain;
Reaves naught to murk the conquering hero's track,
Rut heaps of smouldering ruins, burned aud black.
Her fields unsightly with their bleaching bones,
Her blighted valleys, and her ruined homes,
Her broken households, and her widow's sighs,
Tho tears ol sorrow in the orphan's eyes,
All tell a tale of carnago, war and crime,
The "bloodiest picture in tho book of Time.''
Our breasts withhush'd and throbbing pain
Heard of hero's bravo at Simpler slain ;
And brave men with listening breath,
Heard of Umon's dread and cruel death,
Aud sages old, both 2iorth and South
With staring eyes and gaping mouth
Looked on, and each his prestigo took,
When JIkason, with calm and pitying look
From her high seat was rudely hurled
Ry I'assion'js hato ; and tho whole world
hooked on, ami wondered at tho eaibo
Which made ficciucn disregard the laws.
Rut a p.tll, as from Erebus como
And shrouded all in saddened glonm.
Then was heard the shrieking sounds of wo,
And brother's with brother's blood did flow,
And motlieis, wi'h shrieks and accents wild,
.Mourned the loss of an only child,
And sisters mourned a bivlher lost,
Oh ! Ruani.Mos what hast thou cost?
Look on the dark and bloody ground,
Sleeping in Death are together found,

Tho only boon hr can command,
And sink as sinks tho cold and wintry win d
Reforo tho summer nun, and loavo no trace behind ;
A lid may their bright hopes be forever blasted,
Like dead :.ca fruits wither ere they're tailed,
And tho joys of caith may they never know
Hut bo hauuted with scenes of desolating woo.
Hut joys as well a sorrows glido
Adown tho Year's receding tide ;
G i cell islets dot the wat ry way
O'erarohiiig Night is pierced by Day ;
Rt-ight glories, imaged on tho stream,
Fiing back a rich and radiant gleam :
It is not all a sea of gloom
An ocean waste bereft of bloom 1
This chosen Land of Liberty
With ''happy homes and altars free,"
Still holds a Constitution linn.
Of ail our growth and strength the gorin ;
Still boasts a mmn strong and dear
Tlm freeman s hope, the tyraut's fear ;
Still hoists a Fi,au before the world,
The proudest ever yet unfurl'd 1
Strotohed on the Autumn's withered leaves,
Whieh the winds had heaped in play,
With the glittering shroud, the hoar frost waaves,
Cast over him as ho lay.
With death within his heart,
And dimness in his gazo,
The dying Old Year saw depart
His iast moon's pallid raya,
.
There was a dim light in tho air,
A cold and ghastly gleam ;
The clashing boughs were stripped and bare,
Tho ice was on tho stream.
Out from the frozen North.
The winds lushed fiercely by:
Ami the stars of heaven camolookitig forth
To iee tho Old I'ear die.
Oh ! for the hnlmy days of Spring,
When the hawthorn boughs were white,
And tho wnodiark roic on his buoyant wing,
In the glowing morning light;
When over the clover lea
The tun and thadotvs rolled,
And the meadows, that waved like a heaving sea,
Were bright with thu king cap's gold.
Oh ! for tho beauty and the pride,
When the Summer's bounteous hand
Scattered h?r treasures, far aud wide,
Over all the pleasant land.
When sweetly all day lung,
At morn, and ove, and noon,
Ho hoard the trill of the blackbird's song
Through the bowery woods of Juuc.
Oh I for one single moment now.
Of tho glowing Autumn sun I
When the rustling wheat sheaf bound his brow,
And tho reaper's task was dono.
When on the laden trees
The fruit hung ripu and fair,
And tho murmuring hum of tho hoiiey hoes
Came drowsily on the air.
Kneel round the dying monarch's bier
Let U kneel and meekly pray,
With si.h. and moan, and sorrowing tear,
As tlio ,oul doth pass awiy.
Let oaeh lightly wasted hour
Of tho months that have gono by
Stiikeon our hearts with a fearful power,
As we seo ihe Old Year die.
Let us weep for tho ills wo have wrought,
Tho good wo have east away,
The hasty word and the evil thought
Of many a b' gone day.
Hark ! with the midnight chime
Another year is fled,
Another stop in tho march of time
The poor old king is dead !

in a lato llianksgivicg sermon, said "tho
Nation is possessed of the devil." It is
alas, too true. The spirit of war is of tho
devil. If tho precepts of Christ aro true,
all who enconrago tho revenge, cruelty and
inhuman violence of war, aro "children of
tho devil," because "his works thoy do."
Whore, gentlemen, have these had tempers
of the devil boon more encouraged than in
the pulpit of tho United States? Whilo
the horrors of the battle field have been,
as much as possible, assunged by a Chris
tain and enlightened Genera' liko McClel
bin, a majority of our pulpits havo raved,
stormed, and bleached forth thesmokoand
flame oflho "bottomless pit." From tho
lips of the clergy the satanio sneer has gono
biting forth that "nobody was hurt." Ono
of your number declared that "wo want
Generals and soldiers who delight to swim
in blood." Have you forgotten that you
profess to bo ministers of a religion of
peace and lovo? Have you forgotten that
you profess to be followers of ono who was
"tho Prince of Peace" who canto into
this world to teach tho nations to "boat
their swords into ploughshares, and their
rpears into pruning hooks," so that "nition
shall not lift up swoul againt nation, nei
ther bhall they learn war any more !"
Tho great lesson of this life was, iu the
language of his lips, "Put up thy sword."
How can you, gentlemen, witliDut a blush,
profess to bo the disciples of that ''Prince
of Peace ?" You teachers of a gopel
which was sent to spread "peace on earth
and good will among men I"
Ono of you, in a Thanksgiving sermon,
said, "thank God for the rebellion aud the
war." You whose preaching embowels
humauity, and lills tho altars of religion
with blood, followers ot tho Divine Otic
who said, "Resist not evil !" arc you not
rather followers of the "Princo of Dark
ucss?" Do you not enter your pulpits ev
ery Sunday morning as Mariu.s entered
RouiBi burning with revengeful memories
of tho marehes of Minturia f Instead of
opening the gates of the kingdom of Heav
en, to make men of "ono hcait and one
mind." one would think your mission was
to open tho temnlo of Janus. Instead of
pointing out to mortals 'the paths of peace,'
you aro striving to drive them down "tho
broad road of destruction. Instead of
preaching nnd prayingto male our country
what Christ meant all nations should be,
,la kingdom of peace," you seem to make
it a province of hell. Your prayers go out
like poisoned arrows, only to wound aud
kill. Liko tho heathen law giver, you nev
er seen God only iu the midst ot flames
and swords. You aro living back these
thousands of years in tho brute ages of the
world, not followers of the "Lamb," but
tho savago and bloody disciples of Thor
and Odin. Tlio meek voice that once
breathed peace among tho hills of Gallileo
you havo nover heard. Not in GaHilcc,
but in Golgotha were your altars built.
Thu great Erasmus said, "All this con
ditions of war aro absolutely forbidden by
tho Gospel ?" You, gentlemen, know that
the precepts of Christ forbid them You
know that tho early clnutainshose who
lived immediately after Christ, who were
instructed by his Apostles, believed that
a ehristain could not fight, Maximilian,
a Romau convert to hristianity, on be
ing brought before tho tribunal, to bo en
roled as a soldier, declared to the Pro
consul, " urn a ChriHlu'm nnd cannot
fight!'' Whon told that ho must bear
arms or suffer (loath, ho replied, "eminot
fight, 'if I die" and bravely suffered death
rather than violate tho principles of his
religion. A lloman Centurion, by tho
naino of Mareollus, on being converted to
Christianity, resigned his commission, de
claring "it is not lawful for a ehristain to
bear arms by any consideration." Ho,
too. suffered death for refusing to fight.
So Cassia, a Roman Notary, was put to
death for tho samo cause. "I am," said
ho, l(a Christain, and tkoroforo oaunot
fight." Great numbers of tho early con
verts to tho religiou of vJlirist, suffered
death for tho samo reason, Clement of i
Alexandria, defined tlio Christains, "fol-
lowora of pcaeo." Lactantius, nn early
ehristain of nolo, said, "It can novcr bo
lawful for righteous men to go to wnr."
Toatuilian informs us that even Christi
anity had sproad over tho Romau Enipiro
"not a C'luistain could ho found in tho
:irmg, ovon in cases of necessity.
Origin, iu his defence of Christianity, ad
mitted tho fact, and justified tho christains
on the ground that war was unlawful. I
refer to theso matters, gentlemen, to ra
mind you of tliG principles and practices
of Chi i;t and his early followers. How
would St. John or St. Paul have figured
at a war meeting? Imagine Jesus stir
ring up tho hellish fires of civil war.
No ; no mau can imagine such a thing.
A man's own hcait would como up and
smeto him iu tho face wcro ho to attempt
it- Then imagine a picac'tier of tho Gos
pel of Christ, thanking God for rebellion
and war. No, he need not imagine it ; let
