WHAT LADIES CAN Nothing is
more important to the health OF our brave
volunteers than warm, comfortable woolen
socks. The woven socks supplied by gov.
ernmcntare poor substitutes for hand-knit
article, and the latter will outlast three
pairs Of woven socks. Men on the march
require soft sock, or they become foot
sore, and the damps Of autumn and winter
renders warm one necessary for health.
Can the fair daughters and mothers Of
New England do a more acceptable SER
vice to their country, at this time, than to
each prepare and send TO the commissary
Of each State pair of socks for the use Of
our soldiers? Let associations be formed
in each town, and each parish if desirable,
and the good work be set in motion, and let
all, young and old, have the satisfaction Of
doing something for the glorious cause in
which our country is now engaged, in sus-
tanning the best government man ever en-
joyed A particular company or regiment
might be designated as the recipients,
where one hundred or one thousand pairs
were sent together, and thus the brave sons
of their own neighborhood be benefited by
their efforts, if preferred to more general
distribution. T..

PREDICTIONS FOR l56l.-The year 1861 will
be a very eVenttul one to every maiden who

Throughout the whole course of the year,
whenever the moon wanes, the nights will grow
dark.
Whoever is in love this year will think his
mistress an angel. Whoever gets married will
find out whether it be true.
He that loses his hair this year will go bald.
He that loses his wife will become q wild
over.

young man three nights in succession, it will
be sign of something. If she dreams of him
four times, or have the toothache, it is tea to
one that she is a long time out of her head.
Itany one jumps overheard without knowing
how TO swim, il is two chances to one that he
gets drowned.
If any one lends an umbrella, it is ten to one
he is obliged to go home in lie rain for his
pains.
Whosoever runs in debt this year will be
dunned.
Many an old sinner will resolve to turn ovel
a new leaf this year, but the new leaf will
turn out blank.

BY JOHNNY FERN.

Mamma, sing that pretty hymn for Ella ;"
Little Ella was lying on her couch very i'll.
She was pretty child of four years. She had
been i'll for some time, and was now sinking
very fast. Her mother had watched over her
night after night, as only 40 anxious and low
ing mother could watch. She prayed and
wept, believing that her little darling would be
spared 10 her, but all in vain. The physician
had just informed her that there was now no
earthly hope, and that she must be resigned to
the will of Him who " doeih all things well.s'
And when little Ella opened her soft blue eyes
aud asked her TO sing, she felt as if her SORROW
ing heart would break. Controlling her feel.
ings with an effort, she commenced singing
that beautiful infant hymn:
There is happy land.
Far, far away,
Where saints in glory stand,
Bright, bright as day."
And as she sang, Ella clasped her pale, thin
hands together, and sweetly smiled. sua.
beam from Heaven seemed TO rest upon her
lovely face-her lips moved as if IN prayer. and
she joined in singing the hymn with her feeble
voice.
The mother could sing no more. and sobblng
aloud, she clasped the lulle sufferer close TO
her bosom, exclaiming wildly:
"My little darling, how can give you up
Oh. God spaTe-spare my chlld Oh let
this bitter cup pass from me ~
"Don't cry, mamma" said little Ella; In

Iictd the pallor that had overspread her lovely
face, she sank upon her KEGS and pressed he
lips TO the white forehead, and the shlVerinG
OF her frame told more plainly than words
that her little Ella was dead. She kissed he
clay cold lips, and there was no returning
pressure; she took her little hand in hers, bu
