DEATH OF THE OLD YEAR
By ALFRED TENNYSOD:
Full knee-deep lies the winter's COW,
And the winter winds are wearilrbighing
Toll ye the church-bell sad and slot,
And tread softly and speak low,.
For the Old Year lies a-dying.
Old' Year, you must not die 1
YOu came to us so readily,
You lived with us so steadily ;
Old Year, you shall not die.
He lieth still:' he (loth not move ;
lie will not see -the dawn• of day,
He bath no other life above,
He gave me a friend, and a true, true love;
And the New Year will take them awaf.
Old- Year, you-must not go;
So long as you have been with us,
Such joy'as you have seen, with us,
Old Year, you shall not go.
He frothed his bumpers to the brim;
A jollier year we shall notsee,
But though his eyes are waxing dim,
And though his foes speak ill of him,
He was a friend to men.
Old Year, you shall not die;
We did so laugh and cry with you,
I've half a mfnd to die with you,
Old Year, if you must die.
He was full of joke and jest,
But all his merry quips are o'er,
To see him die, across the waste
His son and heir doth'ride post-haste,
But 'he'll he dead before.
Everyone for his own,'
The night is starry and cold, my friend,
And the New Year blithe and bold,my friend
Comes up to take his own.
How hard he breathes ! over the snow
I heard just now the crowing cock,
The shadows flicker to and fro ;
The cricket chirps•; the light burns low ;
'Tis nearly twelve o'clock.
Shake hands, before you die,
Old Year, we'll dearly rue for you :
What is it We can do for you?
Speak outbefore yoO
His face is growing-sharp and thin,
Alack I our friend is gone,
Close up his eyes ; tie up his chin :
Step from the corpse and let him in
That standeth there alone,
.And waiteth at the door.
There's a new foot on the floor, my friend,
And a new face at the door, my friend,
A new face at the door.
TEES COLD SPELL
BY a OHN WY.lsitAntrEL, 311.
Din laggard strolls the street to-day,
Because the nipping frost is out ;
\My window pants are full of spray,
That curious Jack has tossed about!
No lounger loiter near the lamps
That gleam like balls of ice to-night ;
Unless some wretch in freezing cramps
Hugs close to death beneath their light
No trickling waters cross my path,
Except that leave their tide congealed ;
The earth is frozen—pool and bath
Are with one secret loCked and sealed.
The sun was doubly bright at noon,
But did not melt one sphe of frost ;
To-night how glares thP bright, broad moon
Down on the house tops ice4embossed I
Far off I hear the heavy tread
Of some lone reveler, homeward bound •
All o'er the streets a crispy bed
Of trodden snow creaks with the mind
Once was I out in such a breeze—
O never may that scene recur !
A bark had foundered on the seas,
And I was frozen fast in her.
Again I creep that slippery deck,
Cling helpless on the splintedspars t
And count my comrades on the wreck,
All stating blindly at the stars.
To-night I hear that piping tone—
The North-wind whizzing like a whip ;
This night, some mariner lies alone,
Froze in the ruin of his ship !
WIIAT NEXT ? The San Franciscans
are ago ahead people. The latest men
tion of the Golden State is a plan to
make white dogs useful. Your San
Franciscan seizes up his white cur, and
with stencil-plate and black ink, inscribes
his business card on each side of the
wretched pup, and sends him forth a
quadrupedal locomotive advertisement
—a daguerreotype of the fast people of a
fast country in a fast age. It is reckoned
that a ',lively dog will be worth at least
five dollars per day or equal to a quarter
of a column in a newspaper. San Fran
cisco can take the hat.

it is extremely probable that the London
volunteers will send by the next steamer
an invitation to the Seventh Regiment
to pay a visit to England. Mr. Blanch

other literary and military celebrities,
are very enthusiastic in relation to the
matter, and have interested many leading
citizens of London, by whom it is pro

"The Stuff that Dreams are Made of."
Very remarkable stuff it is that dreams
are made of ; the odds and ends of every
thing. And the way in which the shreds
and patchesa of memory are mixed with
the wildest hallucinations of fancy, and
worked up with them into all sorts of
grotesque and arabesque phantasmago
ria, puts everything in the shape of wide
awake absurdity, to shame. The mova
ble pictures on the magic lantern slides,
that exchange heads and limbs, or turn
from Jack Valstaffs into grinning skele
tons, the tricks of pantomime, the trans
formations of the fantoccini, present
nothing comparable, in the way of ridi
culous incongruities, with the queer cus
tomers of Dreamland. You are never .
sure of one of them for an instant, they,
change countenance so often and so sud
denly. Moreover, you are never certain
of your locality. Crowded streets change
to solitary deserts, yott drop from the
summit of a mountain to the bottom of
the sea : •,--and, "oh! what a fall is there,
my countrymen.", When on the, point,
of making your escape from a ferocious
assassin, you are inopportunely struck
with . paralysis, and his knife goes through
you—not with a dash as you expected,,
but slowly, an inch at a time—and you
hear it grating against your bones with
its edge, and feel its point tapping your
arteries and digging into Your nerves of
sensation, Sometimes, by way of *vari
ety, you are hanged or drowned in a
much more horrible style than would be
possible in any other , realm than that of
Soinnus. Occasionally you are in a
house on fire, locked up in the sixth
story; or tied to a tree with arniseella
neous assortment of savages and demons
shooting flaming arrows at
_you, and stir
ring you up with red hot pitchforks. In
short, there is no conceivable atrocity,
from the milder forms of lynching to
being thrown headlong into the crater of
a volcano, which is not perpetuated upon
dreamers. That all these imaginary hor
rors are just as unpleasant, so far as, the
pain and fear are, concerned, as if they
were realities, no one who has experi
enced them can doubt. To be sure,
there is a bright side to the picture.—
The dreamer is 'now and then "lapped t'n
Elysium." But upon tbe whole, the di
abolic preponderates over the angelic in
visions of the night.
Philosophers have tried hard and long
to account for the vagaries of the mind
in slumber; but the only plausible"thee
ry they have given us is t4t during
dreams the controlling power of theaill
is nullified. Conseiuently, the percep
tive faculties, the reflective faculties, and'
the moral sentiments, or such of these as
are not paralyzed like the will, are'supL
posed to go to work seperately, each on
its own hook. If so a pretty mess they
make of it
Materially speaking, the stuff that bad`
dreams are made of, is in many cases in
dkgestiblc food. The man who goes, fast
ing to bed, with his mind at peace, may
"draw the drapery of his couch around
him" with a fair prospect of lying down
to "pleasant dreams." —N. Y. Ledger.
Tho Earl of Aberdeen whose death
took place early in this month, was the
Prime Minister of England in 1855 and
1856. He was Dorn in 1782, and his age
was .therefore 78. His Scotish titles
were Earl: r Aberdeen (conferred in
16820 and Lord Haddo ; but in 1814 he
was created wpeer of Great Britain by
the title of Viscount Gordon, the family
name. He was the oldest Knight of the
order of the Thistle, and Knight of the
Garter ; two of the three great English
orders of Knighthood, which are seldom
conferred on the samenobleman, and of
which it is believed •there is not now a
similar instance.
Cr Since the constitutional restriction
against the African Slave. Trade went
into operation, all the original States of
the Union. except south Carolina, have
passed laws to prohibit,the trade in ac
cordance with the spirit of that compro
mise. As South Carolina has no such
legislation, and as' she has fallen back
upon her political status of 1733, it fol- .
lows that the African Slave-Trade will
be ''a legal business as soon • as she has
perfected her work of Secession.
tar - A well-known equestrian is now 4m,
a farm in, Kansas, engaged in training, a
number of buffalo to the ring,' intending
to ride an act of horsemanship (i) upon
one of them. He has - ten- of them in
hand, which-he intends to drive. tandem
before a music wagon in procession: ;It
is probable that he..will so far accomplish
his purpOse as to join . some coMpnny
nest spring. A tandem team of bill:la
-hes in procession, driven by tine person,
willindeed be a curiosity.
An*liEß Faxen'E' ir be
remembered that Governor Pae,ker de
prived John M. Butler, the drily 'oettifi ed
member elect to Congress frem the 14th
District:in the city of Philadelphia, of
the usual certificate issued by him, whilst
ho held that of the Return Judges, and
that he declared Mr. Lehman duly elect
ed. Mr. Butler took at once steps to
contest the matter, and under an act of
Congress, ,Recorder Entre is now investi
gating the matter: Mr. Butler insisted
upon the re-count of the boxes, which
have been under the charge of Alderman
APM_ullin since the election, who is known.
as one of, the most unscrupulous Demo
crats throughout the land. This motion
was strongly opposed by Mr: Lehman's
counsel, but the Recorder finally decided
that the boxes must be brought and the
votes counted. Considerable trouble
was experienced in obtainirtg the boxes,
but the counsel for Mr. Butler threaten
ed to prosedte if the boxes
were not produded, and they were finally
brought and counted, with the foll Owing
result. The recount makes the majority
of Mr: Bdtlerl.26 in the whole diitrict/
and consequently elects him. It will be
understood that the tally lists above re
ferred to, were placed in the ballot boxes,
and duplicates of them were filed in the
office of the Prothonotary of the COurt
of Common Pleas, on the day after the
election. In .counting off the vote, it js
usual to. put, the tickets up in bundles of
ten, which are twisted up and in this .
way placed in the ballot boxes. In the /
Seventh ; Division ; , where the heaviest
frauds appear to have been•perpetrated,
more than half the votes cast for Judge
King were placed' in-Mr. Lehman's bun
dles,'and counted for the last named gen
"demon.; while most of Mr. Lehman's'
buhdles had one or two of Mr. Britler's
tickets smuggled into them. ' The can
didates for Governor, State Senator and
LegislAure were upon the , same ticket
as Congress, and the' result to those of
ficers was affected precisely the same as
the vote for Congressman. Mi. Nichols,
the Senator elect, •had his majority,
which was reported to be about 300,
largely increased, by the discovery of
these frauds. • •
Amos Kendall has published anoth
er of his powerful letters against Seces
sion, in which he says: "Let Messrs.

CrA number of years ago Mr. Web
ster' Was asked, at a dinner table, his
opinion of Mr. Buchanan. .and replied
that "he was a politician, but no states
man." It is curious: that a short time
after, Mr. Buchanan was askedlis
ion . of Mr. Webster, and replied, that
"be. was a statesman, but no politician."
In: both judgements contempt was el.
pressed---Mr. Webster despising Poli
ticians who were not statesman;
Buchanan despising statostnela who were
not politiCians.
