THE NEW YEAR.


Year follows year "when yondcr spheres sublime
Peaed their first notes to sound the march of time
lie started forward on his fleet career,
Nor since has paused to rest; year follows year,
And onward, onward, in the rapid race,
Each flies and leaves shorter in its place.
Departed year! as DER thy wide expanse,
Remembrance turns retrospective glance,
What great events are clustered on thy page,
To stand the wonder of the coming age
Throughou; the world, Reform, the watchword's
been,
And Revolution, mistress of the scene.
How has she staiked abroad, with giant tread,
Ger Europe's continent and carried dread
And stern dismay, to every tyrant's breast,
Broken TIL oppressor's arm, and let the opprest
Go free: unlike herself in former times,
The harbinger of vengeance and of crimes,
milder aspect now she has put on
Though thrones are overthrown, the work once
done,
Stern Retribution halts in mid career,
And Mercy, DER the fallen sheds her tear.
Nor thrones alone, and kingdoms, serve to show
How far progressive Change is doomed to CO.
The revolutions in the human mind
Fen kings have learned to know, they are but men.
And men have learned that they are brethren;
Kings go alone, and queens, like faithful spouses
Become the mistresses of their own houses;
And he who late stood foremost in our land,
Guiding its destinies with able hand,
Disdains not now T. obey the peoples call
And serve his country in her councll-hall
To pierce into Futurity, TO see
All that within the coming year shall be
Read Fate's handwriting on Creations WALL"
That tells of rise and change, decay and fall,
May not be ours and if it might, ah, who
Would reRd the veil that hides it from tho view ?
But Hope may elevate her magic glass,
And bid the picture of the new year pass,
In rich perspective, while she whispers, "Pcace,
The warning of the elements shall cease"
So may it be let Peace triumphant reign,
And every good shall follow in her train.

=, HIGHWAY ROBBERY, AND ATTEMPTED
MURDER. Mr.. George Crosby, formerly of
salem, and lately of Nantucket, in travel
ling on foot to Boston, ON Tuesday evening.
was assaulted and robbed by two high
waymen on the Turnpike, near the Floating
Bridge, between 10 and il o'clock. On
the receipt OF the news in Salem, the next
morning, he was visited by several gentle
men OF his acquaintance, and by physi-
clan. The following are related as the
particulars, as given by himself: THAT
when he reached TO within about half a
mile OF the bridge, he saw on the side of the
road, paper resembling folded letter :;
while IN the act of STOPPING to pick it up, a
man rushed from behind q tree on the RIGHT
hand side of the road, demanded his money,
and threatening his life on refusal. Mr. c.
replied, wait a minute and you shall have
t;" he stepped back and took from his
pocket small pistol, and while preparing
1t, the robber fired upon him, but the ball
missed hlm--he then fired upon the robber,
and thinks he wounded him the robber
Immediately discharged a second pistol, and
at the same time another man came from
behind rock on the left side of the road,
to whom the first cried out dirk him. Sam
dirk him, Sam" Both then assailed him;
several thrusts were made at him with
some pointed instruments, and two severe
blows inflicted on his head which rendered
him senseless. When he came too, he
found himself laying behind the wall
among the bushes. He with great Difficult
ty reached the house of Mr.. Nourse, about
half mile distant, when he was taken in
and received the kindest attentions.
His wounds were not considered danger
Gus; they consisted of several slight stabs
in the side, and one in the arm, done appar-
emily by small sharp instrument. His hat,
which was much broken, resisted in some
measure the blows on the head, the effects
of which were not very visible his thick
clothing he thinks prevented the stabs be-
ing more deep, and perhaps fatal. His
shirt was bloody, and his clothes pierced in
several places. The spot seems we'll Sc
lected for the purpose. Mr.. c. states the
amount taken from him to be 5000 in Bank
bills, a double cased silver watch, and an
eye glass, with gold chain attached to it,
&c. The money was all his own. The
appearance of the ground, which was visit
ed early by several persons. indicated n Sc
we're scufle; his clothes were very much
torn and solled in the dirt by being drag ged,
and the pocket from which the money was
taken, was torn, as if by violence. Many
articles belonging to Mr.. C. we're found.
