A SONG FOR NEW YEA I) .'S EVE:
BY WILLIAM CIILLEI BRYANT.
Stay yet, my friends, a moment stay—
Stay, till the good old year,
So long companion of our way,
Shakes hands• and leaves us here.
Oh stay, oh stay,
One little hour and then away.

The kintl year, his liberal bands
Have lavished all his store.
And shall we turn from where he stands,
Because - he giVes no more?
Oh 'stay, oh stay.
One grateful-hour and: then away.
Days britrhtly,eame and calmly went,
While yet-he was 'our guest ;.
flow cheerfully the week was spent !
How sweet the seventh day's rest!.
Oh stay, oh stay,
One good hour more and then away.
Dear friends were with us, some who sleep
Beneath the coffin lid;
What pleasure memories we keep
Of all they said and did I
Oh.stay. oh stay,
One tender hour zind teen away.
Dien while we sing lie smiles his last
:Ind leaves our sphere behind—
The good old year is with the past;
Oh be the new as kind !
Oh stay, oh stay,
One parting strain, an,:l then away.
Who will say the world is dying?
11 Ito will say our prime is past?
Sparks front Heaven within us lyit4,
Flash, and will flash to the last.
Fools !'who fancy Christ mistaken ;.
Man a tool to buy and ;
Earth a failure. God-forsaken,
Ante-room of flail.
Still the race of Ilero-spirits
Pass the lamp from hand to band ;
Age from age the Words inh4rits,--
" Wife, and (WM, and Fatherjand,"
Still the youthful hunter gathers
Fiery oy from wold and wood ;
He will dare as dared his fathers.
Give him cause as good.
While ' it slave bewails his fetters ;
While an orphan pleads in vain;
While an infant lisps his letters, '
Heir of all the ages' gain ;
While a lip grows ripe for kissing;
While a moan from man is wrung;
Know, by every want and blessing,
That the world is young.

" Oh, dear, what a cold day it is ! one
might as well live in Greenland," grum
bled Harry I;rowne, drawing his face into
the shape of a rheumatic nut-cracker, as
he came down to breakfast on a glorious
Febi nary morning, when the sun was be
,ginnin, to turn the kicle into diamonds,
and a keen, cutting• wind was driving
whirlwinds of sparkling snow hithcr.and
I thither.
" This coffee has not a bit of heat in it;
there's nothing on the, table to tempt my
appetite. I don't see what makes me feel
so uncomfortable this morning ; I thihk it
must be the cold."
Ha; ry's mot her knew what it was perfect
ly well—it was, not the first time the young
gentleman's "uncomfortable feelings" ha'd!
kept, the whole family circle, figuratively;
speaking, ou pins and needles. -
" Harry," said she, mildly, I wish you
would overcome this habit of fatilt-finding.;
I do not think you appreciate all the . ad
vantages you enjoy, or you would not ma , - I
nify every little drawback as yon do."
" I don't see that I have such a won
derful number of advantages," ! muttered;
Harry, in rather a surly tone; "kept study. I !
ing in school till my brain reels like a,
red-hot stew-pan ; sent on errands when
I'm at home, and huffed around generally
by the girls; called in, always,.just,when
I begin to be engaged in skating; can't
have a watch because I'm not old enough
to take care of it, and mustn't think of a new
sled, because I'm getting too old for it.
Advantages, hey ?"
His mother could not help laughing in
spite of herself. " What a Very unfortun
ate boy you are," said she. "But, Harry,
it is time you were off for school. Come,.
get your hooks together."
Immediately the forehead wrinkled up
again, until, as his sister whispered, it
looked like an old quilt.
I ". I don't think rd better go to school
I to-day—my head aches a little, and Idon't
!feel very well. Besides, it's so cold 1" •
" Nonsense, Harry, go along When
do you ever expect to make a man, if you
stay home from school for every .iMagin
aav`ache_ or pain?"
Harry felt terribly aggrieved:
" I really don't feel able to go; besides,
was so sleCpy last night, I forgot to,study
Imy. Latin."
" I told you how it would be if you
staved out so late skating with the! other
boys . . ,

" No ; certainly not, if you don't feel

hild been too much absorbed in his letters
to hear or heed any of the previous

M., who replied, " Very well ; only if you

The shoes were a new bone 'of eonten-

" Nothing . but old-fashioned calfskin,"

I " Come here aMinnte, Harry,'! said his
Mother, who was standing at the window ;
nhd as he grumblingly obeyed, she pointed
ai;ross the street to where a ragged beg
gar-boy of about his own age was picking
his way over the frozen snow, with his
hare purple toes peeping through the tat
tered coverings of his feet.
I)cu't you. think that poor fellow
Would be thankful for the calf-skin shoes
that you despise ?" she asked.
Harry didn't know what to say so he
Made nu answer at all, and turned to his
father; who was putting on his overcoat
to go down town.
" Father, may I go to the. 'office with
you :''
" I thought you were not well enough
to go out ?"
Oh ."' said Harry, coloring a little,
going to school to study hard, and go
ing down to the office with you, aro two
difi'erent things I"
A cheerful assent was given, and so
Master Harry spent the morning crouch
ed down in a big easy-chair before his
ffithcr's office fire, his elbows on his knees,
and a newspapers spread open before him
-t--a profitable way
. for a boy of fourteen to
while away : the hours.
" Harry; can't you do a little copying
fc:r me ?" said Mr. Browne.
Oh, father, I don't feel like it !"
" I'm afraid you're getting a little lazy,"
said his father, smiling..
" Nti; father, it isn't laziness, I'm sure ,
it's—it's—well, I don't know what it is t"
returned the boy, resting his chin on his
hands and looking sleepily into the fire.
Harry Was - a bright boy enough ; yet if
lie had taken the tune and trouble to ex

discovered that the, moving spring of ac

Let Children Are Children.
There is a form of cotuplaint very com
monly made against our modes'ol educat
ing children in this country, by those
who have traveled in the', best, society
abroad, as to the ridieulons attempts to
make boys into men, and little girls into
grown up
. young ladies. Wel are
,quite
sure that there is nu other country except
England, where as a whole, this matter
is better attended to than in Mir own,---•
City life is, however, universally destruct
ive of that freshnest and simplicity in the
habits and manners of children than is
most desirable. There ate, hoWever, faM
dies, whose home life, is rimmizd as retired
and simply as desirahle ;bet these . du not
court notoriety. But there is no other
City in Jilt! world like Paris, fur teaching
children hardly out of time cradle, all the
refinements and politeness, with the de
ceptions and corruptions of ailiticial so-
out in satins and hemmed in laces, -culd
ohly - hare a plain. dress, and rim abont
with her brothers, she wohltinot grow up
the pale-faced, stooping consnaptire doll
that she will assuredly become, food of
novels and day-dreams,. but utterly unfit
for the great .realities of life 'that - await
her as a woma.n, a wife and a Mother..
, .
I In• mind', as - ip body, 'the Mnbitioti . of
Iproducing precocions fruits . ,:is the com
.
mem-fault of those parents who are igno
rant or heedlesis..:of - consequences. ie a .
1 large building is erected too 'fast, the
weight of" the top, will cause the walls to
bend' ant . V bow, because they are too
green, in builder's parlance. So in the
bUilding up of the:intellectual powers:
The mind may be crammed with knoWl
edge too rapidly for its real edification ;
and the, body and brain are strained and
injured hopelessly in the , attempt to pro
duce an intellectual prodigy: - We read
in every paper of some child, three years
old,'that-reads with all the tone, speech,
and feeling of an adult.
.Such readings
ought not to be allowed, except under the
-most experienced and watchful medical
care. What becomes of all those -preco
cious 'children ? They seldom become
powerful meti'and women. They are like
peach blossoms in January, certain, to be
frost-mpped. "
A nroper and natural Mixture of hard
mental work, and hearty, cheerful exer
cise cements body and mind, and causes
.
both to grow.
So in manners. Children hate the
constant, the sober-thoughts, or the care
not to say suspicious, habits and man:
ners that will come fast enough with
their future knowledge of the world. Let
children be children, frank, impulsive in
stinctive and natural. Let theM mix
with children, and net come (Alt into so:
ciety at thirteen, With their thoughts and
manners all directed to the great future
of life. if so, they will run away with
John at fifteen, and be.old and miserable
before they are thirty. ,
in religion, the same mistake is carried
on-by the superficial; but, as Henry W.
Beecher says, it is no way to produce real
reliu-ion, to stuff the bead ofa boy with
all the argumentative faiths, doctrines
and experiences of a man's religion. Pi
ety in a boy should show-itself in a boy
ish and natural exhibition of religion, in
obedience to his parents, in being a good
and regular student in study hours, and
a liearty, cheerful, playing companion out
of doors. Better this than the sickly,
over-Matured experience so often cried
up and admired. The youth of Have
lock formed the Man..
Wine the Da.me of Genius.
The fellowing is- part_ of a melancholy
detail of-the wreck of genius by rum, giv
en by Dr. McKenzie, -the Literary editor
of The . Press,. in a recent article on- that
subject:
Shakspear . e is said to bare died of a fe
ver brought on by excess in drinking.
That statement was given to the world - a
few yeais ago, from the Diary of the cler
gyman, who
not
'Vicar of Stratford
upon-Avon, many years after Shaks
peare's death, and while.some of his lineal
descendants were, actually still living.
The Vicar put the circumstance down in
his note-book, just as he had heard it—a
popular belief in Stratford, and not so re
mote in point of time as to be treated. as
only a tradition. Qf ail the ills which the
abuse of Wine has inflicted upon the
world, the poetic mind will thitik this ac
celeration of gentle Shakspeare's death
about the most lamentable.
Ben-Johnson (with the hoe retinue
of wits and poets, and cavaliers, who flour
ished in the time of,Shabpeare, and some
times associated together) was a jinn-cif
caul, and suffered the usual pezialty-4
fluctuating between health and illness,
between extravagance and waut. For the
same moral runs through the life of each
of these boon-companions: Selfish indul
gence leads almost inevitably, to the same
result-wreck of health and ruin of for- .
tune. .

Denhani," as he was called, fatherof /near
poetry, of which his " Cooper's -Hill" is a'
good specimen, B.ocheSter, whose talents
were, wasted on the meanest : trifles, and
yet whose manner of dying, (described
with 'such exquisite simplicity and pathos,
by Bishop Bornet)probably atoned for
the injury which his example had done to
Christianity: . Otway, -who : wasted' his
eddy manhood in. riotous company, and
died in utter indigence; Addison,"Steele,
