The New Year.

To-day, is the last of the old year of
1854. Christmas holidays are over, and to-
morrow, (Monday0 every one resumes his
accustomed voc.t ton. And what year has
the last been? One of wretchedncss and
suffering thousands multiplied by thou
sands have been called to another world ;
want, misery, distress, are now the compan-
ions of many, and the probability is, the fu-
turc will not improve tho present 'hard
times"
Just on the eve Of n new year, is n most
appropriate time to "turn over new leaf :"
to correct old errors by abandoning those
propensities which have done us no good,
but injury, and by using endeavors to do
thosc things which are good, and which
will promote our happiness and comfort
BY taking retrospective view Of the past,
who is there Of us, but can discover even in
the one year just brought tn close, many
and multiplied errors which he has fallen
into Can you not reader put your finger
on this, or on that, and with truth declare
this or that error has brought you some
misfortune, which probably at this time
HARNESSES you, Did you not year ago,
anticipate higher prices for cotton, and on
tho strength of an unfounded anticipation
run into wild and extravagant speculations ?
Little less than one year ago, we cauiioned
you, advised you tc practice retrenchment,
we said, "coiton tho great staple of the
country has been gradually going down in
price, il may get to @ or ccnts.+* Per
haps thougn, apparently unconccrned in
others woes, and rejoicing in our own pros

in warfare, and all the powers of Europe
are more or less infested with the war
