A Happy New Year, throughout the land,
Abundance spreads on every hand,
The thrifty farmer tells DER and DER,
The bounteous crop he hath in store,
For sunshine, rain and fruitful soil,
Have blessed at lavish rate his toll.
Plenty broodeth DER our country wide,
Like the eagle o or her young with pride,
With Horn upturned pOurs out the stream
More lavish than the widest dream;
And farm and hamlot and city wide,
Fesl alike the pulsing of the tide.
And vet with all this Righteousness in hand,
Grim famine stalks about the land;
With fe tures pinched by lhopeess want,
Wretched, shivering, CHASTITY gaunti
She looks to us with pleading eyes,
And "help" for her famishe children or es.
Unhappy Kansas scarce did heal,
The wounds from Border Ruffai MS steel,
Ere nature unmindtul of thy pains,
Forgot the "former and the latter rains,
Till field so fertile heretofore,
No harvest to the toiling farmer bore
Since kind friends, we cannot share,
Hall the Ills poor Kansas hath to bear,
Our syTpaty we sure can show,
In this her darkest hoGr II woe
A little from out our Righteousness,
Would many starving brother bless
Then speed, we messengers Of mercy, speed,
With "aid fer Kansas in her drest need,
Along the iron track atar,
Speed the loaded Railroad car,
Till the blessings Of the saved shall rise,
To Heaven fitting sacrifice.

Hank the music of the bells!
What JOYOUS tale their jingle tells,
OF youth and beauty glowing,
The ball the rout, the meeting gay,
The festive board for New Years day,
And the merry measures flowing.
Groups have gathered here and there,
Brothers, sisters, cousins fair,
And lovers too are wishing, hoping,
Each for each some blessing bright
That will not vanish like a sprite.
At mornings bright and golden op'ing.
Youth and childhood free from care,
Raise aloud their voices rare
Tuned to notes Of joyous feeling;
Older heads and hearts must take,
The cares that bid their sad hearts ache,
While joy on every side is pealing.
Age with silvered head is feeling too,
A warmer current courslng through,
Its stiffened veins and dreaming,
OF those other days, ere time had rent,
The magic veil that to all things lent
The farest hues to outward seeming.
Backward down times hurrying stream,
Mem'ry like some half remembered dtream,
Turpeth at the new years pleasant greeting
Forms familiar in the days Of old
Voices that the wondrous "story" told,
Each some scene of old repeating.
Play-rooms where the merry voices rung,
Corners where the Christmas stocking hung
In those dear loved days SO olden,
All these with mem, RVS magic light,
Came thronging round the old, last night,
Like moonlight, dim but golden!
Oh. youths and maidens in your mirth,
Attendant on the New Years birth
Slight not gray hair or wrinkled face;
Like the years have fed their joys
Yew Years gifts and Christmas toys,
Save I'm mem'ry have no place.

Carriers Address.

AHAPPY new YEAR, the cry is odd
Yet yelling up from heart sincere
1t hath the uumistaken ring oil gold,
That passes current with its tone of cheer
happy New lear, then, to all around,
Cries tie Carrier on his annual round
Heard ye not, last night, the solemn knell9
And saw ye not the shadowy train go by?
Twas the funeral train and the tollng bell
For the Old Year had laid him down to die;
spirit choir, around the shadowy bier,
A requiem sung for the dead Old Year.
Farewell Old Year not lily hast Aou dealt,
with al the sons Of Iuen-the countless
throng.
Who all thy gilts Of good or i'll have felt,
Have still some cause for joyous song
Some with blessings open, unmasked to NOR
ia eyes,
And others, panied perhaps, by blessings in
disguise
Farewell Old Year thou hast run the cir
cling race,
Thy predecessors ran so oft before,
And now thou'rt borne to thy resting place,
And thy face shall he seen no more
But the deeds thou hast witnessed shall give,
Thee renewn that long on times pages shall

And other tones were on the breeze last night,
Tones exultaat for life begun,
Muse swelling on every ray Of ligt t,
That shone unon the birth Of "lS6l'-
Those merry tones Of greeting how they start,
The warm blood pusing through the faint
ing heart.
Hail, New Year! welcome on life's busy scene
Where the impress of the troubles timous,
Is stamped upon thy honest brow serene,
In deeply marked and enduring lines
Mortals shall not forget tiny wierd look,
Nor the wonders written in thy hidden book,
Welcome, New Year! events of mighty i'm
port,
In thy book of fate, may written be,
Still we mingle in the festive sport;
Till the fateful leaf, complete In thee
Reveals our country rent by dssensions dire,
Or safely the crisis past, mounting udward-
higher!

writer in the Texas State Gazette gives us some interesting wool statistics There are half a million of sheep in Texas Of these OO,OOO are Mexican coarse wooded sheep, which at and d half pounds to the fleece, will yield 450 O00 pounds 20O,O0O are Merno sheep, which at three pounds to the fleece, will yield 60OO00 pounds, making a total of 1.O50,0OO pounds of wool. In the South ern States, the annual product of wool is less than l2,OOO,000 pounds, which is less than one-half of that supplied by the State of New York. Accord ing ito the estimate of staticians, it requires six pounds of wool to each person. The Confederate States require 60,OO0, ,0O0 of pounds, and scarcely produce one-flth that amount.
 During the past two or three years, we have repeatedly urged urged upon the farmers of Arkan- sas the importance of raising sheep. We may tmate the sheep in Arkansas at l50 000, which, at an average of two pounds to the fleece, would give 300,0O0 pounds of wool The population of Ar kansas requires, for blankets, clothing, etc., two and half millions of pounds of wool annually If the blockade is ever broken, one of the leading imports will be wool and woolen goods. | The Pocahontas Advertiser states, editoraly, | that all the lands in the Batesvle land district, formerly belonging to the Cairo and Fulton rail- road company, will be offered for sale, at Bates vile, on the 25th of November next. This is a mistake. Only those lands will be offered hereto | fore cl,med and reserved by the United States, and held at two dollars and half an acre. The company contend that they have the title to the lands granted to the company, and are offering them for safe.
