THE NEW-YEAR'S ADDRESSES.

Ter! please to give me penny! There "a q perfect
freedom from insincery, and cheerful recognition Of
human selfshness in this greeting which would have
delighted the cold-booded French maxm-mon yer or
the sharp author of THE Fable of the Bees" The
little philosophers, in their short tunes have clearly
recognized the truth Of the doctrine that il il more
blessed to give than to receive and they have not the
least objection TO bestoving any amount OF that psc-
uar kind of beattude upon any gentleman with q
pethoric purse. And their merry wishes are cheap at
penny apiece, If take into account the tenn.
poral induration OF present prevailing. Whether be
proper to send an innocent child to shop with this
communication: Mother wishes you happy New
Year and says that she will lake it in molasses," is
certainly question. This formula has coarse ner-
cenary truck und-dickcr ring in it, and an aroma
of barter about it, not to be observed in the elegant
simplicity" Of specie payments. But cannot expect
every one 10 beg with Judgment AID t8ste. Ard this
brings US directly TO our subject. We not in pos
session of the name of the first newsmsn who hit upon
the expedient of invoking the Nine; but, considering
that the old ladies have made anything but melodous
responses think that the experiment has been re-
markedly successful. We suppose that the psper-
carriers Of NewYork Friday received about hun
dred times more for their than Mr. John Milton
did for his. When the Msnuan made that lucky hit,
tn Marce2as erlS and took Goo therefor from the
numbering and swoouing Octsvia, he thought to
be the best-paid poet at that time breathing and
singing. But the newsmen, considering both the
quantity and the quality of their goods rival Virgil in
their receipts.
We do not mean to growl at their luck. Ii other
benefactors of society receive silver tespots why not
bestow the dimes the dollars upon the newsmanl
Pray, who gives peasurel Pray, who, should
he prove neglectful, would bc more keenly missed
Saving always ones cook who than he has your break
fast more at hs mercy! What intelligent man in this
enlightened metropolis but thinks al cockcrow fist Of
his pewspaperl What does it matter that all night
long brains have been bothered ink has been flowing,
swit-legged reporters have been rushing, nmble type
settlers have been tOilng, steam has been whizzng,
and presses have been cankng, while riots have
been turbulent and murder urcOmmonly active, and
the oldest strangest and most scendelous things have
been taking place, If the newsmen forgets TO serve
you? There may be news from all nations in town,
hut what does it avail YOU 1t might well DO in
Nova Zembla And asit has been observed that he
who does not breakfast well will not probably spend
the day well, and the absence of the newspaper is
sure to create Irritation incompatible with success
ful morning NEAL it clearly evident that the carrier
has fortunes, orr tempers our morals, perhaps,
even very lives, in his hands.
SO when be comes with his lille string Of verses,

the fact that Time fies, his venerable jokes, his re.
hash of the years events, who can be cold enough TO
send him away empty-handedl For our own part, We
have bought large pile Of these anniversary produc-
tons which We have perused much edtca;on aud
comfort They full of valuable information. Thus
the gentlemen who carry The Eceni'As Mirror COM
municate the following:
"Now in the sttic sis tho dsrs

This dame was probably Il" soysnty-dress womsn,"
but although Paris was noisy with her name, and we
keep IN excellent correspondent there, he has never
once mentioned her-for which negligence we think
that VS. shall discharge him by the next mail.
Then, too, we sorry 10 learn that our friends OF
