Let mirth reign supreme, over all the broad earth,
A. each horne.eircle clusters . nround the lor'd hearth.
While f 'rinsed at your threshold admittance to gain,
My feelings verb mingled with pleasure andfpnin,
, For. I told in my baud, from a friend, who at fast
Iles gone from• the Present to dwell with tbo Past,
A mesmge of kindness, a tear of regret—
Afiope that his Mill& and faults 'dull forget,
And while casting behind you all traces of sadness
tin begs you will welcome the New-Year with gladness.

And the strange way ho took to•noeuce fame and glory,

Of this long struggle, as to who'll be speaker, •
And which shall rule, the stronger or the weaker.
Who'or's elected, let hint dare do right,
The country's safe from foul di,union's blight.
If they'd sever the Union, who'd take fur their nag,
The thno.lionored red, white and blue?
'Would It wave from thu North oyer'overjr bleak crag?

The following curt us account of a baboon
family is translated roe a recent French
work by I. Boitard,.for Utoodrici's Illustrat

There have been awl still are. in the mean

of baboone, and four years ago. a female who
had a Attn. one, furnished lino of the most
aninsing'and singular spectacles I ever Wit
nessed. She was placed with it in llcage, near
the one she formerly occupied, with several
Cl hut...animals or the 811110 species. The infant
baboon was hideously ugly, but she lavished
upon it the most tender 11111.(1990g t When it

the youhg heir in her arms, precisely as a

The door was again opened, and the ba

embracing the lumber, who, however, would
not allow them to touch the young one They

lilts as if felietoding the itappy,couple ou the
arrival of the son and heir. antdperhaps find

the father or mother. This scene was very
much like that which often takes place in l'ho '•
human family on sithilar occasions, except
that -we suspect the felicitations were
more Ilea !felt and genuine on the part of the
brutes, than on that of-their move favored
prototypes.
All the baboniis wished to caress the ioung

to their. great joy, in touching \ the little one,
without the mother perceiving it, particularly
when she was engaged in conversation. 'dint
a smart correction sopq taught them that their.
indiscretion ens observed, and they quickly,
retreated. It was evident that the monkey
