THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY g. 1857.

~ 5rhiough hum's consumption surely has abated
me cause is good, the law is wise and just,
ana ana that it will mot be repeal'd, we trust;
i1. Dut yet u viii, tho party now in power,
VIII ior the sake of favor tamely cover
AT hum's base shrine,-unloose the mighty food,
And many an household idol drown in blood
Ihen Heaven will, as sure as Justice stards,
Iheir blood require at their guilty hant,s
How can their skirts be clean, we ask again,
In sight of God, of blood of victims slain2
u, their responsibility, how vast
we won't condeUn until the ordeal's pAss'd.
Now, at the threshold of dear Fifty.Seyen,
Come let us bow with all our hearts to Heaven,
For all the blessings Of the year just howa,
For all his moro les, and his goodness shown,
Let gratitude deyout fill every soul,
And deep humility each heart control;
His paths drop fatness. and the year he crowns
With smiling Plenty,-thus his lUve abounds.
Now, in retnrn, what shall we render, friends,
For all the blessings he so freely sends
Lettus resolve-resolVe with one accord,
That we, henceforth, shall live unto the Lord
And when the silver cord Of life is riven,
He will receive us to himself in Heaven.
And now, dear Friends and Patrons we must close,
The Bard is weary, and be needs repose;
But hold ! we have another word to say,
Please, let your patience your impatience sway;
Health, Wealth, Long Life and every boon beside,
We trust to you W i'll never be denied
May guardian angels still your steps attend,
And guide you safely till this life shall end;
And after death, may We all meet above,
To sing the triumphs of redeeming love.
And now, we have but one more word to say,
But one word more, and we shall close our lay;
lis simply this, we trust with feelings coy
tou'll not forget the humble CARRIER Boy;
ARd now, with thanks, rejoicing on our way,
We wish you all joyous NEW YEARS DAY.

IMPRESSIVE ELooUrIos.-A paper called the
Methodist Preacher, published in Baltimore, tells
the following anecdote of a we'll known preacher:
The Rev Josiah Vardsn,a few evenings age, arose
IN congregation in this city to deliver an oxhorta-
tion He commenced by asking-"How old arc
your" Having asked the question, he paused a
moment, and with increased earnestness repeated it
How old are youf
An elderly lady in the congregation, gupposing
that as the eye of the speaker was fixed on her. the
Interrogation was personal, hesitated moment and
then responded

The preacher vas well nigh thrown off his balance
but he proceeded TO enforce the Importance of his
theme-the necessity of preparation for death and
Judgment. So much for impressive delivery.

A CLEAN SELL-A shEssEd customer was in New
York the other day, gayky, uncouth AMI innocent
enough in appearances, but In reality, with his eye
teeth cut. Passing up Chatham street, through the
clothes quarter, he was continually encountered
NTH importunitieR TO buy. From almost every
store some one rushed oat, in accordance with the
annoying custem of that street, to seize upon and try
10 force him to purchase At last one dirty looking
fellow caught him by the arm and clamorously urged
him to become a customer.
Have you got any shirts 2" inquired the coun.
tryman, with very innocent look
" splendid assortment, sir. Step in sir Every
price, sir, and every style. The cheapest in the
street, sir.
Are they clean 2"
"To be sure, sir. Step in, SIR
Then" resumed the countryman, with perfect
gravity, put on one for you need it'

as the csuntryman, turning upon his heel, quietly
pursued his way. a'
