THE CLOSE OF THE YEAR,

THE CLOSE OF THE YEAR.
DEFENDERS winds are signing,
Stern winter now doth reign;
The Frost-King, be is flying,
Unto his throne again.
His white heath, he is wearing,
A pail for Autumn's bier;
And the days of joy are leaving,
For the darksome ones are here.
The Spring may have its treasures,
The Summer join the chain,
With all its scenes Of happiness,
And all its Howery train.
But still love December,
Though it be void of cheer,
The last, last lingering member
OF all o misspent year.
Soon must its days forever,
Which now are spreading fast,
Bo gathered up together,
And marshnlled with tho past;
For other days do hover,
Their tread we almost hoar;
When they-when those are over
Wen welcome in the year.
Time swiftly flies before US,
Again, q year has gone;
Upon life's way it bore us,
From our chillhood's happy dawn.
Another year wore meeting,
Shall we another have;
Or, ere its days are tiecting,
Be silent in the grave?
How many forms TINT gladdcned
Each home endearing hearth,
Arc gone, and We arc saddcned
That they have passed from earth.
What bright ones have departed,
Who then WAS with US here;
On whom Death now has darted,
In this short fecting year.

LOOK ON THIS PICTURE.

She stood beside the altar,
With n wreathe of orange buds
Upon her hcad-upon her back
The richest kind o duds-
Her lover stood beside her
With white kids and dickcy clean-
The last was twenty-one year old,
The first was seventeen.
The parsons job was over
Every one had kissed the bride,
And wished tho young folks happiness,
And danced, and laughed and cried.
The last kiss had been given,
And the last word had been said,
And the happy pair had simmered down
And sought the bridal bed.

DouGLAs.-The visit of the Little Giant to
our Southern cities is producing quite a.furor
among those who are always ready to take after
the successful man. Thousands at New Orleans
and other cities who welcome him so enthusias-
ticaly, and are joining in the great demonstra-'
tons which are being made over his arrival
among MS no doubt were among the first who
sworc vengeance against him when he made
head against the President on the Lecompton
issue By the by, what has become of those
presses that beabored him so, not long since?
Why do we not hear them rebuking the people
for clasping this traitor to their hearts? Their
silence is olnlnous Perhaps they are beginning
to think that he will he the nominee Of the
Charleston Convention, and if so, President, in
which event he will have some old scores to set

TIE REIGN OF ARr-ln this wonderful age,
Art lars her master touches OH almost every
thing The ceilings over us and the carpets we
tread on are hallowed by Art. Art winds the
railway through the mountains and the mud:
makes her machines of wood and iron, to act as
if with knowledge and annihilates space with
lightning tanned down to the tutcledge of q boy.
Nothing is too lofty for her touch and nothing
too humble. A new proof of this old convic-
tion has Just fallen under our notice. in the
shape of q Cathartic Pill, from the Laboratory
of that world renowned Chemist Doct. j. c.
Aver.
If we understand the subject, he has carried
that article to the farthest perfection of which it
is capable. Instead of employing Drugs in its
compositions as we have always thought the ne.
cessary and only way, he has with consummate
skill extracted the ririues Of the medicine to be
employed and combined them alone in their
purity together. The composition is then mixed
and rolled by machinery and steam power into
sphcroid pill which is wrapped in an envelope Of
gelatinc, for protection from the effects of weather
or time, and then thickly coated with sugar, to
serve as its passport over the palate. Notwith.
standing all this laborel perfection they are
offered to the Public ut less than one cent each.
However humble the department, we think this
may be safely characterized as the consumma.
ton of Art in its linc.-Morning News, Bait.
A SINGULAR CAsE.-A singular case of alleged
cmbezzlcment of q letter was tried in Phil.
adelphia, on Tuesday. in the United States Dis.
trict Court. A person who had been clerk in
the Postoiice seems to have lain for seven long
years under false CHARGE because a letter, be.
longing to another person, was found in book
in his house. His vindication was complete.
1t was shown that the person to whom the letter
was addressed had married a cousin of the de.
fendant's wife; that the book was loaned to the
latter by the former, who had placed the letter
in it as marker. The defendant has repeatedly
cndeavored to get the case tried, but without ef:
feet The jury, by direction ofthe Court, returned
a verdict Of not guilty. and that the innocence of
! the defendant hid been fully established.

HAVE HoME.-Youns men have lately writ
ten to US, asking: "Shall we marry, possessing
only small means ?'
If the means are adequate to meet the wants
of the man and the future wife, why not? But
they should be sufficient for this, else the most
painful consequences may cnSue. Moderate
means are ample for The real ncccSsaries Of life,
too, which ought to satisfy human beings, so far
rs eXternals are concerned insurinS social and
domestic enjoyment: meeting the real purpose
of cxistencc-thcr own advancement and that
of others But lave enough for this. Have 4
home. Have Il home, young man, before you
have wife.
At least have means to provide one. You
have no business with an Eve till there is a par
adise to place hev in. Secure the garden, and
the Eve will follow. If you are unable to pro-
vide an Eden, who ought to trust You with an
Eve? Sacred us we regard love, we do not be-
ievc in dirorcing it from common sense. This
experiment is generally fatal to both happiness
and responsibility. Wake from mere dream
life, exert your energies; procure means 10y
some kind OF honest labor; secure home; then
ask your own heart, and tue girl phrcnologicall.y
best adapted to you, the question: "Shall
