Oh, can ye look upon the past— And feel no sorrow now? That thus ye sing so joyously While smiles light every brow! Oh, if ye can, be blithe and gay, The song troll gaily on; And burthen be—the new year's come And the old year's past and gone.

But scarce a twelve-month she was than, And now he is alone, Yet still ye sing the new year's come, And the old year's past and gone. Dance on, dance on, 'be blithe and gay, Nor pause to think-the while, That ere this year be past away, Ye too may cease to smile.

DT NUS. LYDIA JANE rzinsos. A.A happy Now Year sweetest," cried Charles Barton to his young wife, as ho entered from the counting room, to which ho went before she was aweko, to make some particular arrangements. 'Thank you dear Charles," she answered clasp ing his neck with her round white arms; "but then how can one be happy who is tantalized by ungratified wishes?" "What do you moan dearest?" ho replied in a voice of surprise and solicitude; "what wish have you ungratified?" ..Oh! do not be alarmed Charles; but if you re ally wisp me a happy Now Year, you must make mo happy, 0y giving me a New Year's present." Tho husband was mute. know," she continued, •that I have need of nothing, and yet there is something which I very much desire; and I think you will hardly refuse me on the first New Year's day of our union.— You know that Mrs. Ellis and I were rivals in our girlhood, and I do not like to see her outdo me in splendor, and elegance. Well, when I called on her last week, I observed on her sideboard a rich and superb set of plate, and I long for a set which shall outshine it. Now do not look so grave. It will only cost a few hundreds, and we can econo mise a little in something else, if it be necessary. Come say yes; and let us go and order my mag nificent new set of plate." "It will hardly be possible for me to attend you to-day Charlotte, for I have some very particular calls to make, in which, although I did not before mention it, I now request that you will accompany mo." "And we shall bespeak the plate to-morrow." "Yea love if you please," replied Charles; "and now be ready to go with me in on hour." "I wonder where he is going to take me," mused Charlotte, as she tied on her hat, and fastened her superb cloak. Charles took her hand with a smile, and they went into the sleigh. Their first call was at a magnificent mansion, the master of which, met them in the hall with a hearty wel come, and led them into a parlour, furnished in a style of the most costly splendor, beyond any thing that Mrs Batton had ever seen. The library too was like an enchanted hall. Mr. Allen treated them with polite familiarity; and on their depar ture presented to the young bride as a Now Year's gift a beautifully executed silver vase, crowned with an artificial rose bush, of enamelled gold, emeralds, end rubies; and breathing rich incence from the altar of roses with which it was enriched. She was enraptured with his courtesy, and liber ality. He had callted on them several times, and G. WARIIIINGTON 80WEN, EDITOR Zr. PROPRIETOR. di The liberty to know, to utter, and to argue, freely, is above all other liberttes.”—Mnirox his suavity and gentility of manner had won her esteem, but she had never dreamed of his being so immensely rich. "Well Charlotte" said Barton, as they drove away, "how do you like my friend, and his resi dence." "Ohl he is a gentlernan,and his house is like a palace. But is it not strange that such a wealthy' man should be so familiar with us?" "Not at all Charlotte. He was my most inti mate friend in college; we were always competi tors for the same prize, and the same honor. I won most frequently, and he was much richer than I, but no jealousy awoke between us. And now I do not envy him, neither does ho despise me.— We always meet as friends; but what would you think of mo Charlotte if I were to undertake to furnish my parlour and library like his." "I understand you Charles; but then there is not so great an inequality between you and Mr. Ellis, as between Mr. Allen and you. But why do you stop here at the hospital!" Barton did not answer, but assisting her from the sleigh, led her trembling into the receptacle of misery. Stopping at a ward in which lay an ema ciated female, he bade her be seated; and after some kind enquiries concerning the state of the invalid, introduced his wife, and besought the suf ferer to tell who she was, and how she came there. "It is a bitter trial," commenced the woman. "to recall ell my errors, sins, and sufferings; but since I owe you so much, I will tell you all, in as few words as possible. Lady, in my yontli,l was called beautiful. I was a school mate of your husbands mother, and much beloved by her I married first, and although she soon after united herself with a wealthier man than my equally re spectable Horace, still she treated me with all the warmth of a sister's affection. But from the day oilier marriage I felt an envy, the more criminal, from its being unprovoked. We sot up in a gen teel style, my house being elegantly furnished; but still Mrs. Barton,although an unostentatious la dy had many brilliant articles which I had not. I could not rest. My husband was a prudent man, but unfortunately he loved me too well. 1 Urged him with tears and all manner of persuasions, to purchase things which would outvie Mrs. Barton's establishment. He frequenpy warned m i ii.that we should be undone, yet fie still complied with my extravagant demands. At length Mr. Barton having made a successful speculation, purchased a beautiful span of horses and a genteel carriage. I saw him drive past with his lady, and my soul was in agony until I forced a promise from my poor husband to purchase a similar equipage for me. As soon as I obtained it, I rode triumphant ly to Mrs. Barton's. She greeted me as I thought sorrowfully, and several times sighed as she look ed sadly in my face. At length I enquired the cause of her uneasiness. 'My dear linen,' she commenced, 'you know that I love you sincerely, or I should not venture to say what I imagine it my duty to tell you. Your husband is an excel lent and honorable man; but you must be aware that ho is considerably in debt. Now, creditors you know, exercise a kind of didatorship over those that owe thorn; and it is natural for them to say, If Mr. -- can afford his family such or such indulgencies, ho might certainly pay me.— Now your husband's creditors have long been grumbling, at what they are pleased to call his extravagance, and I fear that when they see you in your carriage they will treat him without mer cy. lam sorry that my husband went to the like unnecessary expense, for I much fear that you were prompted by emulation.' 'Do not be offend ed,' she said, soothingly, and exter.ding het hand, but I drew back pettishly, and hurrying from the house regained my carriage, sunk backin it and wept all the way home. I felt the truth of her words, but my pride ruse against her; I was offen ded that she should be aware of my envy and em ulation of her, and I vowed come what would nev er to speak to her again. But from that time the sight of my superfluous finery gave me a feeling of guilt and fear. And ruin soon came. My hus band gave up all to our creditors, and wo were without a home. In this hour of darkness, Mrs.' Barton came, and with words of consolation, offer. ed me a home with her, as long as I pleased.— Would you believe that I haughtily repulsed her kindness, although I had not where to lay my head! My husband“ knew not of her proffer; fur I had taught him to believe that she had grossly insulted me, and spoken injuriously of him. He hired a room and we removed. But ho was bro ken hearted. He fell violently sick, and actual want took hold upon me. At this time a gentle man of our acquaintance called upon us, and with great delicacy relieved our necessities. But my husband died. Our friend took me to his house. Alas! that the noblest feelings of our nature are so nearly allied to sin. His generous pity, and my gratitude, grow together into a guilty passion.— Shall I say on! I was lost. I sunk deeper and deeper in infamy until your husband found me dying in the street. Ho brought me hither. I shall soon die. But he bids me hope that the pure God will fur Jesus' sake show mercy even unto me.' " Barton thanked tho weeping penitent, and with his wife took his departure. Charlotte felt the whole force of her husbands silent admonition. She was grieved, but as she looked into her own spirit, she could not but con fess that she was naturally extravagant and proud. Her father had possessed a mere competence, with which he managed to live comfortably, and give his children the advantages of education. Char lotte at the boarding school felt many a pang, as sho compared her simple costume with the costly dresses of her Companions: and compared her home with theirs. Now, as her husband was richer than her father, she considered him im mensely wealthy; and find resolved to be the finest lady in the city. Barton hod indulged her until he found that she w.,uld never be satisfied, and now resolved to appeal to her reason. He saw that sho had read his lesson and forbore remark. The flush of excited feeling faded froni her cheek, and she looked at him imploringly, as he drew up in front of a small house, in an unfashionable street. They were admided by a lovely woman, in plain ncit clothing; whom Charhitte immediately re cognized as a school companion; a meek gentle girl, much iii her own circumstances; and one who havitil never envied,shu had almost forgotten. aYou are welcome dear Charlotte," she cried, joyfully, am glad that you are riot ono of those who go to the assessor's book, to find the real val ue of their friends. Pray lay off your cloak; and let us have a little friendly chat, after our long separation." Then as she served some excellent rake, fruit and wine, she continued, "I am so hap py to see you the wife of Mr. Barton; I know you must be happy, for his character is well known, and you always had a passion for magnificence, which truly becomes you. I never was ambitious of aught in a husband but integrity and love; and these it has pleased [maven to allot me. And am happy. I have no wish beyond what I now enjoy. I want for nothing; my home ib like a bower of roses, where the dove builds her nest; and the sun, and the dew, mingle forever. The world passes on with its pomp, and pride, and am bition, but I heed it not; for these things ore not happiness. I love and am beloved; and He, from whom comes every good and perfect gift, smiles on this union of affection, and adds his blessings, health and contentment Wo earn our daily broad and it is sweet, and invigorating. I would not exchange my present station for that of the queen of Eugland." ..We have spent a very pleasant hour," said Mr. Barton as they rose to depart. "We shall in sist upon your visiting us, Mrs. Green. Como Charlotte, we have ono more call to make, and we must bo at home before our guests arrive." "And as I suppose we shall attend the ball this evening, we can call at the milliners' and get my ball dress." "Haire you money with you, Charlotte?" "I have ono hundred dollars, which will nearly reach the expense; and I suppose that you hove your purse with you." "I have; but, here is the resilenee of the fami ly, on whom our call is to be made." .-What, here! Does any body live here, in this old dilapidated ruin?" "Come in and we shall see." They entered a miserable room; through the chinks, and shackling casements of which, the keen winds were,whispering, keeping the atmos phere tar below the freezing point in defiance of the scanty fire that flickered in the chimney.— Cliarlotte shuddered; but she soon forgot the dwelling, in the contemplation of its occupants. A shadow of a woman, with a baby at her breast, sat beside a low bed, with her elbow on the pillow and her head upon her hand; her auburn hair hung ' in dishevelled luxuriance around her pale face; and from the long dark fringes of her drooping eye lids the big tears wore slowly falling. But there was neither sob or sigh, so deep, so weary was her sor row. A young man lay on the bell whose clus tering black curls, glowing cheeks, and brilliant eyes, contrasted strangely with the livid lip and hroW, and hand so like a withered lily. His quick ear detected the presence of his visitors, he turned his head and sprang up with a glad cry— Dh Barton! Have you come to soften my death bed? I -thought I was forgotten by all the world. Very different have been our destinies since we played together under the old elms that shad..d the school house. Since the disastrous fire which consumed my father's property and my own, and loft me with my young bride, scarce a month mar ried, without a house or a solitary dollar; I have seen dark and sorrowful days. The general ca lamity seemed to have swallowed up individual sympathy; and there were so many in want, that none found relief. I however obtained a situation 03 an under clerk, in which capacity J served un til disease laid me upon this bed, from which I shall arise no more. But how did you discover me?" "Your physician appealed to me last evening in your behalf, and when ho mentioned your name, I resolved to see you as soon as possible. It was the first intelligence I had received of you since your marriage. In truth, Beaumont, my --mind was so occupied, that I hardly thought of ynu, or any of my early friends unless I saw them, or heard their names mentioned. But we must not loose time in idle chat, the doctor thinks their is yet hope of your recovery." "Oh repeat those blessed words again," cried Mrs. Beaumont, eagerly grasping Barton's ann; "say once more that there is hope; for those words fall upon my burning spirit, like refreshing rain upon the scorched and flaggit..6 flowret. Oh say it once more, there is hope." "Mary! Be calm love," said the sick man, and his eyes filled with tears; "this hope like most of those that have arisen on your pathway. will soon be lost in the blackness of despair. I feel that I must die. Do not weep so mart'; we must all die, and bleated are the dead that die in the Lord. You will protect my wife Barton, and return her to her widowed mother, and the widow's God will comfort and support her, and my fatherless boy." "Barton," said he in a suppressed voice, "we are suffering for lack of food and fire." "You shall be speedily provided with all things necessary, and a servant also," said Barton. "And if your lovely wife become a widow," said Charlotte tremulously, "she shall be well ta ken care of. She may live with us and be my sister, if she will; or I will accompany her to her mother's dwelling." "mess you. Bless you both," murmured Beau mont, and poor Mary clasped their hands convul sively as they departed to procure, and despatch to them the promised aid. As they proceeded homeward they were sud denly accosted by a young man of theikt4quain tance, with "Mr. Barton! please step into that house." He immediately sprang from the sleigh, handed out his wife, and opened the door designated.— Within all was confusion and distress. In the centre of the room stood an iron faced 'man, an officer of the law, speaking in threatening tone to a. pale drooping fellow man, around whose knees four little boys were clinging, while a beau. tiful little girl, of probably ten years, stood on a stool beside him, her arms around. his neck, while the big teals streamed over her rosy cheeks, and hung glittering in the dark locks upon his temple. At the fat side of •lbe room, with her face to the wall, eat a female sobbing convulsively over an infant which was crying pitiously. There was scarcely any furniture,Or lire in the house. °There is no use in all this," continued the officer, "come along, I say." , aaao. ..What has the poor man donor tremulously inquired Charlotte. .4 presume ho cannot pay his debts," replied Barton. "And aro they going to lake him to prison!" she enquired with a shudder. The weeping woman turned round. '.lt is even so," she said. "He cannot pay his debts. Last summer he lay sick with a fever; after he began to recover, those who had ostentatiously trusted 1.13 during his sickness, sued for their dues, and took away our furniture, and oven the tools from his workshop; thus as it were cutting off his hands. Since then ho could scarce earn his bread, and all my exertions would barely clothe the children. which has always been my task; and now the doctor has sued him, and he must go to jail, and we must starve." "For what amount is this arrest'!" asked Bar ton of the officer. ..Thirty dollars sir, and cost." ' Well, release the men, and call at my office, I will pay the debt." ' •'You.are a stranger to me sir, and I have lost so much by showing mercy to these poor fellows, that I have grown cautious." "My name is Charles Barton, will you take my security!" ..0h certainly sir." "You are at liberty Gilbert." The wife sprang to her husband's arms, and Barton and Charlotte hurried from their eager ex pressions of gratitude. "Will you call at the milliners," asked Charles as they re-entered the sleigh." "Oh tio! I will never spend money for such things any more. Never, never! I gave my purse to that dear little girl that clung so to my pelisse. I will have no plate either, I will save all I can for the Fick and suffering. I never knew, till now, what money was made for. I did not think there was such misery in the world, amongst deserving people. I thought that none but the lazy and abandoned, were utterly destitute. But I shall never be happy again; in the midst of plen ty I shall think of those who are perishing, upiti ed and unknown. ' , My dear Charlotte. If I had thought that we live only for ourselves, I would not thus have pained you. I have heard many assert that It is wrong to damp the joyful young spirit, with the knowledge of human woo and destitution. But since these things are, and must be; surely they should know it who have the means to give relief. I believe with the wise man, that is better to go to the house of mourning than to the house of feast. ing, also, that by sadness of the countenance, the heart is made better. lam happy to find the well of goodness in your young heart so ready to over flow. I had rather my wife should win the bles sings of those lathe. were ready to perish; than the admiration of the whole fashionable world. And in the hour of death, Charlotte, for we must all die; will not the money that we have expended in love to cur follow creatures; appear a richer trea sure, than hoarded millions,which we could enjoy no longer? Since you have given up the ball, we will make our arrangements, and go this ovoning to carry consolation to the Beaumonts. "With all my heart, deli Charles. It will be a mournful pleasure, but one which will never fail to give satisfaction in the review. I shall no longer be a mere cypher in society; and my only emulation shall be the desire of rivalling you in acts of kindness and benevolence." "Bless you love. You have made me happy," cried Barton, tenderly; "and I trust that not only you and I, but many a reclaimed wanderer, and relieved sufferer, will find abundant reason to re- member this as a Happy Now Year." ' A bachelor is a person who enjoys every thing and pays for nothing—a married man is one that pays for every thing and enjoys nothing. The one drives a sulkey through life, and is not expected to take care of any one but himself ; the other keeps a carriage, which is always too full to afford him a comfortable seat. Be cautious how you exchange your sulkey for a carriage? We know a man down east who is so re. markably neat and tasteful in his domestic arrangements, that he has all his fire wood painted and %tarnished, an as to render a pile of it rather ornamental than otherwise. On Sundays he has the ends of the stacks finished with gold leaf. The Coburg, a Belgian paper, makes the following observations upon the accomplish ments of the Princes of Coburg in the fine arts:—"The husband of the Queen of Por tugal is a skilful engraver; our King is a capital violin player; Prince Albert is a dis tinguished poet; and Prince Ernest excels in setting hip brother's poetry to music." Lord Coko wrote the subjoined distich, which he religiously observed in the distri bution of his time : Six hours to sleep—to law's grave study sir, Four spent in prayer—the rest to nature fix. Sir %V.

"The Lord's Will Be Done."—Deacon Marvin, of Lynn, (Conn.) a large landhold er, and exemplary man, was extremely ec centric in some of his notions. His court ship, it is said, was as follows:—Haring one day mounted his horse, with only a sheep skin for a saddle, be rode in front of the house where Betty Lee lived, and without dismounting requested Betty to come to him; on her coming, he told her that the Lord had sent him there to marry her.— Betty, without much hesitation, replied, "The Lord's will be done." A SAD Tnom.—Forty steamers were lost on the ‘Vestern rivers last year. Only forty-five lives lost, and thirty nine of these were lost by bad steamboat boilers. UNift(olterifi eitBcl ENVY.—Envy is the most base and gro yelling of all the base passions, and the man in whose heart it fields a place, knows not a moment of quietude. The miser feels a momentary pleasure in counting over his treasure; and he whose ruling passion is revenge. exults when his victim writhes be fore him, and looks complacently on his blood stained dagger; but the envious man knows not a moment's ease. His mind is on the rack, and his purturbed spirit con. jures up a thousand things, as interfering with his plans or pursuits, which in the or dinary course of events would never cross his path. For all others thereto a moment of sunshine, a gleam of hope, a bright side to the future; but a dark and impenetrable cloud settles on his mind. His thoughts give birth to calamities which never can befal him, and, anticipating evil, he prema turely undergoes the punishment of its con sequences. Without an ennobling thought or a feeling of good will for mankind, lie pines for others' property; while his mitre* and contracted soul renders it impossible that ho can better his own condition. His very nutriment turns to gall, and he wears an unhealthy, cadaverous and fiendish apt pearance. If he ventures into society, it is only as a thing to be instinctively avoided; for his basilisk-like eye betrays the poison with which his mind is surcharged. He is shunned and despised, and his presence looked upon as an omen of ill•fortune. Without the capabilities to advance him self, and wanting that straight•forward hon esty of purpose which would secure him friends, ho is seized with an unendurable torment on witnessing the prosperity of others, and lashes himself into a fury at their success. He likens the world Co a nutshell, and - thinks if a diamond be found in the Indian ocean, or a rich fur secured at the north pole, it is an invasion of his, ves ted rights. He would banish happiness and erect a temple to misery, himself officiating as high priest. If he ever smiles, 'tis when the world weeps; but the vicissitudes of others Is the signal of his joy.

ADVICE TO YOUNG LADIES.-If you have blue eyes you need not languish ; if you have black, you need not leer; if you have pretty ankles there is no occasion to wear short petticoats, audit you are doubtful tie to that point, there can be no harm in let- ting them be long ; if you have good teeth, do not laugh for the purpose of shoWing them; if you have bad ones, by all means shut your mouth and smile; if you have pretty arms and hands, there can be no ob jection to your playing on the harp ; if you are disposed to be clumsy, work tapestry; if you dance well, dance but seldom; if ill, never dance at all ; if you sing well, make no previous excuses, if you sing indifferent ly' hesitate not a moment when you are as ked, for few people are judges of singing, but every one will be sensible of your de sire to please; if you would obtain power, be condescending; but above all, (mark!) if you are asked to be married, say "Yes!" for you will never ba asked a second time. A. HARD CASD.--1I is stated to a Balti more paper that a woman was arrested on one of the cold nights of last week for stea ling three billets of wood, to make a fire to keep three children from freezing. When taken to the watch house she bogged most earnestly to be allowed to go to them or have them brought to her, as they would freeze to death. Her request was refused, and in the morning the children were found frozen to death.• Tins is a brief commen tary upon the administration of our laws in many instances; the high rogue who robs to the amount of millions escapes, and the poor widow who steals to prevent death is thus punished.
