And tread softly and speak low, For the Old Year lies a dying. Old Year, you must not die ; You came to us so readily. You lived wi;h us so steadily OM Year, you shall not die.

A BLACK L IGLC I.V A BAD WAY. Acsteia, in this present year of grace, 1851, looks to me very much like a translated version England under the Stuarts. I am a resident at Vienna, and know Austria pretty well. I have seen many birds before now in a sickly state have seen some abso lutely rotting away but I never saw one with ach unpromising symptoms upon him as the Black Eagle of Austria. The Court of Vienna is perhaps the most brilliant in Europe; the whole social system in Vienna is perhaps the most thoroughly unsound ia Europe. Austria is weighed down by a nu merous and impoverished nobility, by unjust taxes, and by a currency incredibly depreciated. Her commerce is hampered by ail manner of monopolies, and is involved in such a complex network of restrictions, as only the industrious, Hold-getting fingers of a few can unravel. Near ly the whole trade of Austria is in the hands of busy persevering few. Out of the imme ate circle of the government, there is scarcely satisfied man in the Austrian dominions. The Cobles feel abridgment of their privileges, and decrease of profit by the abolition of their feudal Xlghta succeeding the late revolution. The mer its fed that in Austria they Buffer more vex- atl0us interference than it is in the nature of t0 bea quietly. The people, a naturally f'e am.reJ rHCe haTe Earned insensibly to tneir fi5ts whenever they think of their folate and paternal government. fw e Psitioa of the nobles is ridiculous.

The CmSt morrn V.o .1.. ..M. - .1 Pir miserat)le me&o hungry, noble A ceUbratsi Viennese Professor dined -one 3 10 Eatfad; with larnd lord. Pray, how is Baron Dash?" inquired a guest said Baron Dash being at that time an Austrian Minister. " He is quite well," said the Professor. "And his wife?" pursued the other. "I re member meeting her at Rome; they were just married, and she was a most delightful person. She created a sensation, no doubt, when she was received at ycur court?" 44ho was not received at all?" said the Pro fessor. . 4'How was that?" asked many voices. "Because she is not born." "Not born" is the customary mode of igno ring (if 1 may use a slang word of this time) the existence cf the vulgar, among the noble Vien nese. At the present moment, the family of a Minister, or of auy of the generals who have saved the throne, may be excluded from society on this pretense. Two recent exceptions have been made in favor of the wives of two of the most important people in the empire. They were invited to the court-balls; but were there trea ted so scurvily by the "born" ladies, that these unborn women visited them only once. What is to be done by these poor nobles shut out from commerce, law, and physic ? Diplomacy is voted low ; unless they get the great embassies. The church, a3 in all Catholic countries, is low; unless a nobleman should en ter it with certain prospect of a cardinal's hat or a bishopric. The best bishoprics in the world (meaning, of course, the most luxurious) are Austrian. The revenues of the Primate of Hungary are said to be worth the comfortable trifle of sixty thousand pounds a year; But there remains for these wretched nobles, one road to independence and distinction; and this is the army. To the army, it may be said, the whole body of the Austrian nobility belongs. The more fortunate, that is to sny, the highest in rank, add to their commissions places about the court. Cherished titles are acquired ia this I w.ay ; and a lady may insist on being seriously addressed in polite Austrian society as say for J example, Frau-ober-consistorial-hof-Directorinn i Ia the army, of course, under such a system, wo see lieutenants with the hair gone from their heads, and generals with no hair come yet on their chins. A young man of family may get a captaincy in three months, while his neighbor without patronage, might not get if he lived for ever. Commissions are not sold in Austria as they are in England, but the Ministry of War knows how to respond to proper influence. In an army of five hundred thousand, vacancies, it is needless to say constantly occur. The lad who is named cornet in Hungary, is presently lieutenant of a regiment in Italy, and by-and-by a captain in Croatia. After that, he muy awake some morning, major, with the place of aid-decamp to the Emperor; and to such a boy, with friends to back him, the army is decidedly a good profession. The inferior otlicers are miserably paid, an ensign having little more than thirty pounds a year. A captain, however, is well paid in allowances, if not in money; while a colonel lias forage for twelve horses, and very good contingencies besides. Again, there are to be considered other very important differences between pay in the Austrian and. pay in the English army. An Austrian can live upon his pay. His simple uniform is not costly ; he is free from mess expense, and may dine for six pence at the tavern favored by his comrades. Not being allowed at any time to lay aside his nniform, he can not run up a long tailor's bill ; and, being admitted to the best society, he need not spend much money on amusement. Besides, does not the state accord to him the privilege of going to the theatre for twopence? The poorer oncers in the Austrian service are so unreasonable" and ill-conditioned, that they are not in general pleased by these .advantages being given to men, who may possibly be well born, but who have certainly not been long born ; and in many places combinations have been made to resist the unfair system of promotion. A young captain sent down to command gray beards, with, a lively cense of their own claims on the vacancy, is now and then required to light, one after the other, the whole series of senior lieutenants. This causes a juvenile cap tain occasionally to shirk the visit to his regi ment, and effect a prompt exchange. Some part of the last-named difficulty is over come by the existence of one or two corps of officers who have no regiment at all. Where there arc no men to murmur, the business of promotion is carried on with perfect comfort. In spite of all this, there is much to be said to the credt and honor of the innumerable throng of people forming the Austrian army. It is an excellently appointed and well-disciplined multitude. The gallantry of its soldiers and the skill and experience of many of its highest officers, must be freely admitted: Then, too, the great number of nobles classed within it has at least had the good effect of creating a high standard of artific-al honor. The fellow feeling among Austrian soldiers is also great ; those of the same rank accost each other with the "Du," the household word of German con versation; and the common word for an old companion in arms is "Duty-bruder." Duels axe frequent, but not often fatal, or even dangerous. To take the .nib from an adversary's nose, or to pare a small rind from hla ear, is ample vengeance even for the blood-thirsty. ' An Austrian officer who has received a blow, though only in an accidental scuffle, is called upon to quit Lis regiment, unless he. has slain upon the spot the owner of the sacrilegious hand that struck him. This he Is authorised by law to do, if struck while wearing uniform. Tho effect of this savage custom has been ts produce in Austrian cfiicers a peculiar meekness and forbearance; to keep tfacm always watchful against quarrels with civilians ; and to make them socially the quietest gentlemen in thfi world. Last winter a fast English gent left a masked ball at the Redoute, intoxicated. Disarming a sentry, he ensconced himself until morn.ng in his box. The gent was then forwarded to the frontier, but the soldier" was flogged for not having shot him. Freedom from arrest for debt is an immunity enjoyed by Austrian officers; but those who indulge too freely in their exemption from re sponsibility, may want defenders powerful enough to prevent their summary dismissal from the service. I have written thus much about the Austrian army, because, in fact, as the world here now stands, every third man is or has been a sol dier; and one can not talk about society in this empire without beginning at once to talk about its military aspect. Gay and trifling as the metropolis is, with its abundance of out-door amusements, Vienna must be put dowu in plain words as the most inhospitable capital in Europe. The Austrians themselves admit that they could not endure to be received abroad as they are in the habit of receiving strangers here. The greater Austrian nobles never receive a stranger to their intimacy. A late French ambassador, who conducted his establishment with splendor, .and was at all times profusely hospitable, used to say that he was net once asked privately to dinner during the whole period of his residence in Vienna, The diplomatic corps do not succeed in forcing the close barriers of Austrian exclusiveness; and twenty years of residence will not entitle a stranger to feel that he has made himself familiarly the friend of a single Austrian. Any one who has lived among the higher classes in Vienna will confirm my statement, and will re call with astonishment the somewhat indignant testimouy of the oldest and most respected members of the corpt diplomatiqut to the inhos pitable way in which their friendly overtures have been received. Invitations to dinner are exceedingly rare; there are brilliant balls; but these do not satisfy an English longing for good-fellowship. Familiar visits and free social intercourse do not exist at all. Then there are the two great divisions of society or the nobles and the merchant Jews; on one side poverty and pride; on the other, wealth and intellect. The ugliest and most illiterate of pauper-countesses would consider her glove soiled by contact with the rosy fingers of the fairest and most accomplished among bankers' wives. The nobles so intermarrying and so looking down contempt uously upon the brain and sinew of the land, have, as a matter of course, degenerated into colorless morsels of humanity. How long they can remain uppermost is for themselves to cal culate, if they can; it is enough for us who see good wine at the bottom, and lees at the top, to know that there must be a settlement impending. For the inhospitality of Viennese society there is one sufficient reason; it springs out of the dread of espionage. In this city of Vienna alone there are 6aid to be four hundred police spies, varying in rank between an arhduke and a waiter. Letters are not safe; writing-desks are not sacred. An office for opening letters exists in the post-office. Upon the slightest suspicion or curiosity, seals have impressions taken from them, the wax is melted over a jet of flame, the letters are read, and, if necessary, copied, re-sealed, and delivered. Wafers are of course moistened by steam. You can not prevent this espionage, but it can be detected (supposing that to be any consolation) if you seal with wax over a wafer. One consequence of the melting and 6teaming practices of the Austrian post-office is especially afflicting to merchants; bills come sometimes to be pre sented, while the letters containing advice of them lie detained by the authorities ; acceptance, in the absence of advice, being refused. From the surveillance of the police officials, perhaps not a house in Vienna is free. The man whom you invited as a friend, and who is dancing with your wife, may be a spy. You" can Dot tell ; and for this reason people in Vienna naturally warm and sociable close their doors upon familiarity, and are made freezingly inhos pitable. Yet this grand machine of, espoinage leaves crime at liberty. Although murder is rare, or at least rare of discovery, (there is a Todschauer, or inspector of deaths, but no coro ner's inquest,) unpunished forgeries and robber ies of the most shameless kind outrage society continually. Many of the nore distant provin ces are infested by gangs of organized banditti ; who will ride, during .broad daylight, into a country gentleman's courtyard; invite them selves to dinner, take away his property, and insist on a ransom for himself if he has do wish i to see hxa bouse in flames.

The French have lately come in for their share of public attentions; and we have lost, Trom the same cause, the company of two Americans. Aawag the Austrians themselves, the Tery name of the police is a word of terror. By their hearths they dare barely whisper matter that would be harmless enough elsewhere, but dangerous here, if falling upon a policeman's ears.

This note scarified the feelings of the rhymer intensely. lie aurnea on to exculpate himself and explain the real aim of his book. He did this, and, of course, his book was bought. This is the state of Austria in 1851. Men of all grades look anxiously to France : well know ing that the events in Paris next year, if they lead to outbreak, will be felt in Vienna instantly. Yet Strauss delights the -dancers, and the mili tary bands play their " Hoch Lebe " round the throne. The nobles scorn the merchants and the men of letters; "who return the noble scorn with a contemptuous pity. The murmur of the populace is heard below; but still we have the gayest capital in all the world. We throng the places of amusement. Dissipation occupies our nanas and shuts out graver thought. Verily Charles Stuart might be reigning in this capital. Xapolcon on the Battle Field, The night after the battle of .Bassano. the moon rose cloudless and brilliant overhe ssn guinary scene. Napoleon, who seldom exhibited hilarity or even exhilaration of spirits in the hour of victory, rode, as was his custom, over the plain, and, 6ilent and thoughtful, seemed lost in painful reveries. It was midnight, the confusion and nproar of battle had passed away, and the deep silence of the calm starlight night was only disturbed by the moans of the wounded and the d Vin CT. Suddenly A. dctr KTiran cr frftm m v O O beneath the cloak of his dead master, and rushed to Napoleon, as if frantically imploring his aid. and then rushed back again to the mangled corpse, licking the blood from the face and the hands, and howling most piteously. Napoleon was deeply moved by the affecting scene, and involuntarily checked his horse to contemplate it In relating the event, may years afterward, he remarked, " I know not how it was, but no incident upon any field of . battle ever produced so deep an impression on my feelings. This man, thought I, must have bad among his com rades, friends ; and yet, here he lies, forsaken by all except his faithful dog. What a 6trange being is man ! How mysterious are his expres sions I had, without emotion, ordered battles which had decided the fate of armies. I had, with tearless eye, beheld the execution of those orders, in which thousands of my countrymen were slain. And yet here my sympathies were most deeply and resistlessly moved by the mourn" ful howling of a dog. Certainly in that moment I should have been unabte to refuse any request to a suppliant enemy ?" Mysterious Death. On Sunday morning last, a young girl named Mary Hogan, in the neighborhood of South Eas ton, was found dead in her bed. The following particulars were furnished us in relation to her. On Saturday evening the friends with whom she resided, left for some part of New Jersey on a visit to some friends, and left the girl alone in the house ; according to directions, she was en gaged in ironing clothes ; a young girl from tho neighborhood called in and remained with her until 3 o'clock in the morning ; whilst sho was thus employed she heard a noise at the window, and she went out, and in a short time returned to the room as pale as death, whereupon the young girl who was with her interrogated her as to the cause, and she told her that she had seen a friend who ' died long since, and told her that 6he was going to injure her; the girl was very much frightened, and requested her companion to remain with her during the night, who refused and went home, after which she retired, and in the morning when her friends came home they went to her room to call her, but to their aston ishment found her dead. A medical gentleman was immediately palled in, buj all efforts 1,0 restore her were unavailing.. PttUfi Arffu- On a wall at the east of London, is the following notice : " Whoever trespasses on thess premises is requested to bring bia coffin." Aunt Hetty on Matrimony. Now, girls, said Aunt Hetty, put dowu your muroider and worsted work, do something sensible, acd stop building air-castles, and talk ing of lovers and hftney moons ; it makes me ick, it's perfect! anthzrooisi. Lots is a farce matrimony ia a hufabeg ; husbands are domestic Napoleons, Neros, Alexanders, sighing for ether hearts to conquer after they arc sure of yours. Tho honey moon is ss short-lived as a lacifer match ; after that you may wear your wedding dress at the wash-tub, and your night-cap. to meeting, and your husband wouldn't know it. You may pick up yoor own pocket handkerchief, help" yourself to a chair, and split your gown across the back reaching over the table to get a piece of butter, while he is laying in his break fast as if it was the last meal he should eat this side of Jordan; when he gets through he will aid your digestion, (while you are sipping your first cup of coffee,) by inquiring what you'll have for dinner, whether the cold lamb was all ate yesterday ; if the charcoal is out, and what you gave for the last green tea you bought. Then he gets up from the table, lights hid cigar with the last evening's paper that you have not had a chance to read ; gives two or three whiffs of smoke, sure to give you a headache for the after noon, and. just as his coat tail is vanishing through the door, apologises for not doing " that errand " for yoa yesterday thinks it doubtful if h can to-day "so pressed with business." Hear of him at 11 o'clock, taking an ice-cream with some ladies at Vinton's while you are at home new lining bis coat-sleeves. Children by the ears all day, can't get out to take the air, feel as crazy as a fly in a drum ; husband comes home at night, nods a "how d'ye do, Fan," boxes Charley's ears, stands little Fanny in the corner, sits down in the easiest chair in the warmest corner, puts his feet up over the grate, shutting out all the fire, while the baby's little pag-nose growif blue with the cold ; reads the newspaper all to himself, solaces his inner man with a hot cup of tea, and just as you are labor ing under the hallucination that he will ask you to take a mouthful of fresh air with him, he puts on his dressing-gown and slippers, and begins to reckon up the family expenses! after which he lies down on the sofa, and yoa keep time with your needle, while he snores till nine o'clock. Next morning ek him to leave you " a little money," he looks at you as if to be sure that you are in your right mind, draws a sigh long enough and strong enough to inflate a pair of bellows, and Asks you " what you want with it, and if half a dollar won't do." Gracious king! as if those little shoes, and stockings, and petti coats could be had for half a dollar Ob, girls! set your affections on cats, poodles, parrots or lap-dogs but let matrimony alone. It's the hardest way on earth of getting a living you never know when your work is done up. Think of carrying eight or nine children through the measels, chicken-pox, rash, mumps, and scarlet fever, some of 'em" twice over; it makes my sides ache to think of it. Oh, you may scrimp and save, and twist and turn, and dig and delve, and economise and die, and your husband will marry again, and take what you have saved to dress his second wife with, and she'll take your portrait for a fire-board, and but what's the use of talking ? I'll warrant every one of you'll try it, the first chance you get ; there's a sort of be witchment about it, somehow. I wish one half of the world warn't fools, and t'other half idiots, I do. Oh, dear J Olive Branch. Perseverance and its Revrard. The Fredericksburg (Va.) Herald has the fol lowing notice of the 11 Wheelbarrow Emigrant to California :" "The public will remember that in the spring of the year 1850, a poor man started across the plains to California, with no other sort of con veyance for his luggage and means of subsistance, than a wheelbarrow, which he pushed along for many a weary mile. The energetic fellow "rolled" lus barrow along until he arrived at the Great Salt Lake city, at which place he joined some emigrants who hauled his small stock of baggage through. We remember when the hero of the wheelbarrow arrived, and our prediction at the time, which it appears has been verified, for we 6ee it stated that he arrived at the mint a few days ago with $6;00O of the dust, and has now purchased a beautiful farm, and is preparing, as soon as he gets a family, to enjoy life, if a home will bring such a blessing in its train.

Invasion Dreaded In Cnctnn. The Duke of Wenicgtoa kaa been for time past in almost daily coaniaDicaUon with Sir John F. Borgoyre. inspector-general cf for tiflcations; and their deliberation. fc u i. said, been directed to lLo tort means of pro tec t icg tho metropolis in case of. invssion. It is understood tho result has beeo, that several muitsry camps are likely to bo formci r,,- London ; and eligible situations will bo selected, particularly on the Kent and Essex banks of the Thames, and on the banks of the Medway, with the ultimate view of rendering them permanent ly fortified campa. Orders have already been given to place Shernesa in a proper state of de fence, and to have ample supplies of ammunition and warlike stores kept in a constant etate of readiness at the fortifications already construct ed at that naval port. Seniority lists of non-commissioned officers of the royal artillery have been called for. to b. sent into the adjutant-general's office, within thm last few days, preparatory, it is said, to an sug mentation of that branch of the service. It is also stated that the line regiments will have an addition of 10,000 made to them over the num bers in the estimates of the last year. The royal marines are also to be increased both in the royal marine artillery and divisional compa nies uepartmeuts ; and recruits enlisted for every branch of the land-forces are ordered to be sent to the head-quarters or depots of their regiments, with the least possible delax. that thev mav be at once instructed in a knowledge of their proiession. Getting the .Mitten. Most young men are acquainted with this Terr familiar expression, and that, too, by sad expe rience. Now we know that this thing of "get ting the mitten" is by no means so agreeable as it is cracked up to be ;" and it produces no very pleasant sensation in the mind of the ardent lover. When in answer to the anxious "Miss, will you accept my company ?" she says, half good humoredly, "I shant!" none but those who have been similarly situated, can form any con jecture of that peculiar sensation which it natu rally creates. The victim feels oh, dear! he feels ail over. He would gladly change places with a mud-turtle or a bull-frog, for then ho might find some frientUy hiding place wherewith to conceal his devoted head. The soul seems, for a moment, to secrete itself somewhere between the torrid zones; and the heart, that but a few moments before bounded like the deer of the forest, is now endeavoring to hide its blushing face between the liver and the kidneys. How ever, if he is a man of sound sense, he will attach no blame to the fair one who has thus repulsed and thwarted his design, but after a few moments pertubation of mind, he will come to the natural and honorable conclusion that if she don't want to go with him he eertainly cares nothing about her company. And furthermore, as it commonly takes two to make a bargain, and as the man generally makes the proposition, we think it perfectly just that she exercises her own liberty an.d choice in all such matters.

Our language can scarcely show a more deli cate and beautiful compliment to woman, than that conveyed in the following lines, attributed to Lord Herbert, an English mjbltman, snd ad dressed to an Italian lady, whoja he met in a convent : " Die when you will, you r.ccd not wear; At heaven's court, a form more fair Than beauty at your birth has given; Keep but the lips, the eyes we see, The voice we hear, and you will be An angel ready-made for heaven." "Seventy-five cents per gal!" exclaimed Mrs. Partington, on looking over the price cur rent. " Why, bless me, what is the world coming to, when the gals are valued at 6eTenty-fivo cents ?" The old lady pulled off her spectacles, threw down her paper, and went into a brown study on the want of a proper appreciation of the feminine gender.
