she affirmed at the time) by an apparition,
which in solemn accents informed her that at

incident known to her lnather, who vainlv en-

lnclnation of a dream. The daughter however
ayerred that she was in possession of der facul-

her spiritual visitor; and such was the effect it
had upon her mind that, girl full of life and

THE NEW YEAR.

Reader happy New Year to you, with our
hearty congratulations the suspicious open
ing of 1856 May the unftldings of its months
weeks and days, bring health, happiness and
prosperity.
Like all of its predecessors, the year that las
Just bid adieu to time, has been fraught with
joy and grief. pleasure and pain, prosperity and
adversely. Many who greeted its birth with
high hopes of happiness and long life, are now
numbered with the pale inhabitants of the
spirit land The aged, middle aged, youth and
infant, have each in turn bowed to the mandates
of the g King of Terrors.
"Pride Power. Ambition are rest
And the dull clod lies cold On Beauty's breast
Neither age, condition or sex, can turn away
the shaft of his quiver. or hide from his CHASTITY
presence. Happy indeed. are those of his sub
jects Who can welcome his approach-whose
well ordered life has Invested his pointed arrow
of It's sting and yelled the terror of his hoary
visage.
But enough there are of The living to occupy
our thoughts. 1t is well 10 have, at the opening
of the year, season of joyous festivity-when
all may unite in Happy New Year" congratu-
lations, and then meet around the family hearth
stone to enjoy the pleasures Of the season, among
the " loved ones al home"
When the long winter evenings invite repose
from the busy cares of the day, the cheerful fire
and bright lamp of the affiuent contrast with
the cold blast without, and make the inmates
love their home, let US breathe forth our heart
felt thanks To the Giver of every good and
perfect gift for those inestimable blessings
But while we thus have cause for gratitude for
our own enoyments, are there not those around
whom the stern hand of poverty and mis-
fortune has deprived of those enioyments ?
There may be those, even in our midst, unpro-
vided with many of the comforts of hfe-around
whose freside luxuary is stranger. If such
there be, let them be sought out, and let those
who have " bread enough and to spare con-
tribute towards their relief. Let the make. be
clothed, the hungry fed. and the wants of the
destitute in other respects be supplied, and then
will all be enabled to enjoy A HAPPY New
YEAR"
The year that is past has been one of pros
perity to the tiller of the soil. Abundantly has
the husbandman been rewarded for his toll
The golden harvest has been securely garnered,
and while the bowling blast shall sweep around
his habitation, he can rest safely within and
enjoy the rich fruits of his labor The mer-
chant, the mechanic, aud the day laborer have
all received compensation for their enterprise
and toll. That they may never be less prosper
Gus, and that they may enjoy many such years
of prosperity and happiness, is the ardent wish
of their humble servant.
