7 .. The Old' year has gone. The.. New year
bee come. The one, like an old warrior laid
•deetn to die, covered with seams, and-scars of
' thee well-fought - battle'of ;life; the •other a
, 014i:tering heio, in: the fresh panoply of a
advice in the outset of strife. On the demise
of the veteran, the- elements rained
_pitiops
tears, and.the winds howled:: in a way' that
t_,, t
,would;dutve, done eredi to an Irish wake.
In . equ'al ;ratio with ; the eidusness of the
-exit of the Old Yiar, tile New Year paani
' felts a tyranny feailul to contemplate in the
light of the suffering poor, and sugg,estive of
:Beltoboam's policy, who added to the heavy
.yoke of 'his Father, and increased the chas
•l-isement of whips with scorp•ons. But sud
"&enly a thought- flashes - across us. Can the
pa t it be.deadf. Is it not living for or against
•as in the records of eternity ? God 'help us
-all tcfrealize that we are weaving - - tho web
tsff our future destiny in' the filling up of "elicit
'twelve months Of our lives. ' '
Before the arrival of New Year's day indi
.arttions were strong of preparations for the

Insufficiency of the supply for the demand

"been mentioned as-a sum offered for a car

Institutions have needed. My special atten

which numbered fir Christmas, its first
New Year—s: home for disabled and dis

their individual hordes , to places of service.

he,leaned'ant o'f:the carriage Window to light 1

undertook the responsibilities very good hu-t.
moredly ; for, though I had never keen in love
myself, still'l had - a sort of general idea•that
it was only My duty to afford every possible'
facility to- a young . man who was F : oini , tti
tiee his sweetheart, and fix the 'Wedding guy:
• So I turned with a sigh of-resignation away
from the' fresh 'exhilerating air, the vivid
• March sunshine, into the close little dens
lined with law books, and strongly perfumed
with the odor of Russia leather, which Jack
denominated his office! On the whole I felt
rather as if I were an amiable sacrifice on the.
altar of disinterested friendship. Damon an&
Pythias were great cronies, no doubt, if-44
were to put faith in the records of hi#4l; .
but I never heard that Damon spa, : t,t
home to keep " office" for Pythit- ' ~: I. he
would ag,rgat deal rather hay., i 4 out in
the breezy March woods, tr •,` plhig down
the first blue violets underArtlrifts of dry

Then I began to - consj : Tisstfiously what a
lazy fellow I was to spfl : . my ,days in this
it.

mate, (Jack. )' was w,Oiloturaway at the law,

be a justice of the psitec, and.a delegate to all
of the conventions,ia•nd school trustee, and
everything else that he could possibly think
of. "Somebody,'.',/resolved I, wheeling lazi
ly round on Jackilfaded, old, leather chair;
"11l go to fv(* - too." '
All`day longsat there, enacting Jack to
t i f,
my own unhq dell admiration, and consid
erably to theti onishment, of the sober old
farmers, whote reconeeived idea of "Squire
Clermont," , : widely _different from the
I splendid. moils shed young.fellow, who oc
cupied his - seat vi judgment, and pronounced
' solemn edict with all the dignity of Chief
Justice Tan* himself! What was the use
I of telling 'eat all that I was not Jack. and.
that I never:graduated from any law school,
and that my *hule,kno_wledge: of that sublime
I science was icofttined to a single perusal of

business. ;
" You are Mr. Clermont, .sir, I suppose ?"
"W hat's your business with 111 P, my friend!" .

when jack would be at borne?
• 3fy most interesting adventure was yet to
happen, however. Just as I was beginning
to yawn, and contemplating the propriety of
shutting the little officetip fur the day—just
as the level brightness of the glorious-spring
sunset was streaming in long bars of gold
through the dusty panes of glass beside
the silence was broken by a tiny tap on the
office door.
"Come in !" I said cx_pecting to see a little
bob with a letter, or home preternaturally
bashful client, es I laid down the porker and
wheeled my chair round. What wasmy as
tonishment, tin the contrary, to behold 'a tall .
slender young lady, with fresh, brown com

somehow made me thinktof the wild honey

kMAIRRIAGE OF ROYAL trIIDO

The' English of the present* day do not
fancy the re-marriage of royal ladies, though
that kind of thing is not unknown to their
annals. Adelicia of Louvailne, second uife
of Henry Li teok a second husband n. the
person of William de- Albini, and ill mar

Angouleme, wife of King John, of un leased

and widow of Henry V, the herdof Shrews
bury' and Agincourt, grew tired of single life
and married Owen Tudor, a handsome young.
Welchman, whose face was his fOrturie. and
who had fought as a common soldierlin her
roal husband's armies.
This was a•-most important marriafie, '4nd
huicolored history for well nigh four centu

the House of a Tudor never would havii had a

Tnr. RicluiloWEnguirer, of the 24th inst.
says: " Our losses by the enemy Vtinitlg
possession . of P. ast . Tennessee are incalculable.
We are riot only, deprived of the vast flour
mills of that,country, which previously sup
plied the whole army, but'of vast mabliine
shops extensively organized at linoXville.
Beside this we are cut off Worn the coal;, iron,
and copper mines which .were worth millions
to us. The copper-rolling 'mills
land, superintended by Col.' Peet., Govern
ment agent, which were burned:by the en
emy, formerly turned out - 6,ool.l,pounds of
copper per day. Over 3.000,000 pounds have'
been delivered to the Government. This
was the only copper rolling-mill in the coun-: -
try., , and which kept us supplied In copper
for our - caps 'and cannon. This is among
our losses of the battle of Chattanooga which
is spoken of as Merely resulting in the loss
of a few .thou Sand men .andl , thirty-.eight
anon.'
SENAtO73. WILSON read aietter, from Gen.
grant before a meeting in Philadelphia, last
week. That great soldier says:
"I hav"Oiever been an- anti-slavery man,
but I try to judge justly of what -I see. I
made up my minor; when this war opened,
that the North and the South-coUld only live
together in peace as one nation, and they
could only . be one nation "by being a free
nation. Slavery, which constituted the cor
ner-stone' of the ' so-called Confederkicy. -is
knocked but; and it will take more Men to
hold the black lace as slaves than it would to
put down the rebellion ; and, mach as I desire
to see, peace,' and I long for 'it, am opposed
to any peace until this question of slavery is
'forever settled."
-THE rebel Government talks of paying the
soldiers liberally after the war. !Its liberali
ty reminds us of the poor fellows will ; "I
have nothing ; I owe ever,ybody i rthe rest
give to the poor!" A I
