CARRIERS ADDRESS.
OF THE
WASHINGTON TELEGRAPH.
JANUARY 4, Is53,

The year is dead-did ye not hear the gasp
OF its last breath amid the merry sounds
With which Old Christmas reveIed over its bier?
Through the past week the cars OF business seemed
To rest upon their tracks, and business men,
Immersed throughout the year in schemes for gain
Relaxed their thoughtful visages and smiled
In sympathy with the inspiring time.
Kind friends and dearest relatives around
The cheerful Christmas fire have met and talked
OF past events, and Of tie starry hopes
Which frightened up the future, with deep,
Pure minging Of affections, relshed more
Because such meetings. like the golden visits
Which Angels make TO earth are "iar between
And when some member Of the family.
For years traveller i'll distant lands,
Has come, unlocked ior On the nappv group
Gathered in sladnes round the hearth Of home.
How has the old paiernal hall been made TO ring
With shouts welcome and the wanderer clasped
To bosomS deaTer to his own than llel
The last week was the years great jubee,
When LIES dark shadows from the bosom fade
And stem Old Time. scarce nindiul of hfs scvthe.
Reflects Heavens brightness ifom bis rushing
wings.
1t was the period when the spirits bow,
Long strained and nearly breaking * unstrung,
And the keen arrows OF it, WORLDLY q.iyer(
Are made the playthines of the sportive hour.
Twas an Oasis wheye All hearts might rest
And iud reireshmenl Twas joyous ight r
Shed down between tie Old year ana the new.
But the old year is gone-the JOYOUS sounds
OF mirth which rang % loudly az it, close,
Are hushed to silence. Every cye resumes
Its look OF eager codness-every heart,
But late 50 joyful. shrinks into itself;
Care takes again its station on The brow:
Old Time with sterner look. as If t avenge
The favor of heartfelt holiday
Clasps closer his keen scythe. and shrouds again
The Heaven-rehecte1 brightness W his wing:
And as the NEW YEAR's sun lights up The morn
All signs OF good Oh CnRIsrNAs have departed,
Like dear names written on the Oceans sands.
Enough. Kind friends accept this notice brief
Claimed by old usage, of the opening year;
And for yonr generous aid accept likewise
Our warmest thanks. May Heaven direct your
steps:
Bless you with health and plenty, and with hearts
As capable Of giving as receiving.
You cannot then forget the

RECEIPT FOR JOINING GLAss-Melt a
little isirglass in spirits of wine, and add a
small quantity Of water. Warm the mix
ture gently over a moderate fire. When
mixed by thoroughly melting, it will form
glue perfectly transparent, and, which will
reunite broken glass so nicely and firmly
that the joining will scarcely be perceptible
to the most critical eye. Lime mixed with
the white of egg forms very strong cement
for glass, porcelain, &c. but it must be done
neatly, as when hard, the superfuous part
cannot easily be smoothed down or taken off.

them we are glad to perceive many things
that will tend to elevate artistic feeling in

all other countries, and a few stimulating ex-
hibtions of foreign art are all that we re-
quire to give the American mind the neces-
sary impulse in the right direction.
