a Harry NEW YE,l wish you to-day,
Kind Patrons, accept this greeting diurna
o'e1oycd tc each hcaft-though PLe derirs 10 pay'-
And join in the song Of the JouRvALl
Happy New Year joy, swiftly descending,
With hnppncss pladdcns each festival throng,
And pleasure and mirth and love swcetly blending
Inspire every heart and cnrapturc the young.
Awake in each bosom ngll li,al power,
BE sorrow forgotten aud sadness unknown.
Let Lethe ensliroud every ill-omoned hour,
While we gay, to-day, WOO the present alone.
So now let us sing chorus Of mirth
And welcome with song 'Finy-seven;
Should she grive us anon, let herbirth
Bring nought but forctastc oflIeavcn.
The old year hath fled 'yith s thorns and its roses"
rs pleasures and hopes and withcring sorrow,
Oblivions grave securely encioscs.
FAREWELL Let US turn to the morrow,
Old Time hath now added link to his chair,
which he still laggcth on with musical chime,
Unmindful at once ofsorrow and pain,
or evil and good of error aud crime.
Yet stll DER the past for one moment linger,
Some hours all brilliant and sparkling he gave
Long, very long, mty corroding Times finger
These memories sweet from oblivion, soyeus.
There were hours ofswcetcst and purest delight,
when friendship at hand, with smiles ready,
And glances ofovc rrc,istaby bright,
Shooting forth from the eye ofmy lady.
These beautiful nymphs Oh, how adore
Each eddyias dimple Of beauty,
That invites on tho check (or the lipsD ofa
a kiss, as a part ofmy dutyi
P.rchancc jealous lovers might take an affront
And forbid the procceding,-but bless mel
whatmap could deny, If he halls from Fremont,
| Such boon Tan admirer ofJEssiE
Now the name Of FREMONT and JESSIE recall
A subject had nearly forgotten
The Republican charge, in this county, last Fall,
And the rout offs party most rotten,
The Locos with plundcr of Office, rampant
Sent up in marvellous quiver,
Far of, in pitrul posture couchan',
Are bcmoaning their fate up Salt River
Soon we will burst the tyrarnical shacAes,
The Grc-cating South with vengance impose,
Until not one goose ut Washington cacklcs
"llurrah for the South-rm right on the goose"
Lead on gallant FREMONT, we're listed to fight
Till none Of the slave-driving Locos remain,
a Till wrong is disanncd and boweth to right,
: Till broken the last link of slavery's chain.
IIurrah for Fremont now II groweth apace
Health, beauty aud wealth in communion,
4 a town fair and graceful and churches Of grace,
n School houses and schools called the Union;
IS Ilirc prcsdeth the genius Of brisk enterprise,
's And honor without fraud Or cheating;
e Phunix-lie from the ashes, all stately arise
- Ingrandour tn brick cen the very skies greeting
| Here mechanics and merchants and farmers
For vcaltl's glittcring mark ever dash on;
Our pathway cn Ehtcned by beautiful charmers,
And cr0uded our sidewalks eih tdshionl
Old bachelors too, starched up like dandy,
Which shows them both single and stupid;
To beau old maid, sometimes they come handy,
They'rea little too dred-up for Cupid.
, But bachelors setting aside we increase
In people, well as in money;
With railroads that reach almost every place
And threaten right hard Indiana.
Our enterprise, here, trade and commerce invite;
Anon 60 our ships-our cars whizzing-
De ofTfJom the track, every unlucky wight
r, When the bell iings-or when bellies quizzingl
would pen for old Time, If l only had space,
|, Every spero, trick, antc and caper,
But if with the news you would like to keep pace
Like christian subscribe for~our paper,
|, And there read Of wars and rumors ofmatches-
Ofbeauty and fortunes surprising
/, Should old maids wish to wed or crazy old baches,
The JOURNAL still does advertising.
Throughout coming time, he your skies all serene,
All cloudlcss, benz gnant and smiling
And sparkling with pleasure, be lfc's may dream,
Our hearts from all sorrow teguiling.
May each patron be blessed with conentment and jo
And smooth glide the hours of winter
And QUARTER vouchsafe your carrier-boy,
Most fervently prayeth the Printers DEy
