The New Year.

Monday, as every body knows, the
Year 1855 was ushered into existence. We
had intended making few remarks on
the OCCASION, but the following, which we
find in the Springfield Republican, is so
much better than anything we can say that
we submit it instead:
Time, knceling upon the shores Of Eter-
nifty, and murmuring prayer to the Great
Unknown, has counted another bead up
on his frosty rosary. Standing at his side
the angel ofthe bright New Year looks
calmly out on the far.hashing sea, while
lying upon the shore, swathed in the un-
plying heavens.
The annual recurrence Of this day brings
tears to Memory, while it wreaths with
smiles the lips of Hope. Who among us
can look back upon the path of the .van-
ished year, and behold no dear friend, who
weary with the march Of life," has fallen
by the wayside? By the side of that path
lies husband, the mound above whose
motionlcss breast has been steer ed IN tears.
A wife, whose bosom, for many long years,
pillowed weary brow, lies cold and stony
there. A child, the first born, the best, the
only,--he who seems so like sn angel that
your heart misgave you when you called
him yours, land the memory OF whose sweet
prattle and caresses is locked as your choic-
est treasure in your heart Of hearts, lies by
that silent path. The wealth with which
many began the last years journey, has
taken to itself wings, and left them naked
and houseless. All look back upon some
dear hope cherished, some loved one among
the dead; and myriads of dreams thatseem-
ed born in heaven have been dissipatedbe.
fore they descend to the grasp.
But the future is before us. Blessed
angel OF Hopel gorgcously 1t opens! The
future, not with its own year, but with its
long flight of years, which mount upwards
to tho place of our dreams. We know that
grim lions guard every landing on the
stair case, and that many of us will fall and
be crushed, but with an honest aim, firm
purpose, Il buoyant hope, and great trust
Moods good providence, let US press on
ward and upward.
An age OF greater interest than the one
in which we live, man never had the priv
ilege to live in. It's an age of light, the
age ofaction, the age of discovery. Our
race appear TO have awakened from the
sleep of centuries. Old expressions, old
ereeds, Kingdoms, aud the old order of
things are breaking up, and new earth is
In preparation for tho inheritance Of our
children. Any one who looks around him
cannot fail to see that the nineteenth centu-
ryis the great seedtimeofhuman progress s.
We deem it a blessing to be allowed to live
in an age so fraught with life, novelty ard
activity, and so perfectly filled with the viv-
flying spirit OF anticipation.
Let us. then, enter joyfully upon the new
year. God only knows what we can
achieve in it, j. we ty Let good resolu-
ton be established and old ones confirmed.
With Truth for our guide, Love for a bo-
som companion, and Duty for the path OF
our feet,neither'death nor disaster can him
der 1854 from being to us "happy year"

re- A good story is told by "the boys"
at the expense Of the newly elected Know
Nothing Recorder Of Fairfield county. A
few days after entering upon the discharge
of his official duties, he entered the Clerks
Office, bearing upon his countenapce indu-
bitable evidence that some momentous
question was struggling for solution
He held in his hand bona tide deed, which
some disciple Of FAUsTEs had ornamented
with neat border, and other exponents of
taste and skill of the "craft," He address
sod the Deputy Clerk in confidential tone
and inquired il it were necessary that the
recorded deed should be a fac smile of the
original? The Deputy, who is a bit of q
wag, thought he saw nm opening for Joke
and answered affirmitively.
"Border and all?" inquired the official.
"Most certainly"
The Recorder left, but returned in about
two hours looking somewhat perplexed.
"How do you progress with your job?"
inquired the friendly Clerk.
"Ive got along well enough with the
border" replied the other, "but the intern
al spread eagle at the top--that's the great
est bother--I mover could draw anything
of the sort"
The Clerk, having something Of geni-
us for drawing, volunteered to execute"
the eagle, an achievement which he salts
tactorily accomplished. .--iStatesnadn

The Peoples Party.

The American is the peoples party. 1t
is emphaically, says the Boston RnOtO
NOthiRg. made up OF the masses-the mil
lion. Look and see everywhere. Who
are its opponents? The aristOcrats the
rich, the politicians. the monopOlists, the
grinders and insulters Of the people. What
on the other side-the industrial, laboring,
getting their living classess--the mechanic.
artisan, worker ofall sorts-claSses which
think, feel, act honestly and Independently
for the general good and their own rights.
Such is the composition of the American
party. and such its opponents. We are Of,
with and for the people.
Such an organization may err in some of
its measures and men, but it is not very
likely to. Its judgement will almost always
be right and good-its motives and inspi-
ration GlsOays. Americanize body Of
men and they will seek the public good as
naturally as water seek its level. Hence
the fears which fogies throw out that the
"new party" is revolution of destruction
and not of improvement and stability, is all
assertion. That it is revolution in its
spirit an letter is true-5ut only to the
real enemies, and institutions Of the coun-
try, whether in the hands ofnatives or for
eipners.
