Our Carriers Address.

Wnen the evening lamp burns late,
Up the steps of mansion high,
Where delicious shadows lie;
10 the sunshine soft and warm,
In the wintery's chilling storm,
In your grief and in your Joy,
have been your GARNER boy
Now call on New Years day,
Where are happy hearts, and gay,
Coldly sweeps the icy breeze,
Through the bare, com planning trees,
But il whispers softly lower,
As speed me 10 your door;
Through the hall see The light
OF your red fires, glowing bright,
And young voices from each room,
Ring through all the wintery gloom;
Lighter hearts than mine bound there.
More OF hope and less of care;
Never much that tends TO Joy,
In the lie of a CARRIER Boy.
O6r land has given bounieons yield
In all sorts of crops, in garden and field
But then, such ruinous prices, Gfell,
From last years rates, very much. grain has
AT these "Lincon prices" The farmers wont
sell,
And are still holding on for the crisis.
Our business is dull in all sorts OF trade,
While some have ''gone up' and assign
ments have made,
And the banks will soon go 10 thunder,
What with panic, secession, and disunion,
hustle
With many, fear, twill be hard tussle
To prevent their going clear under.
Bot a truce TO forebodings, tits New Years
Gayl
So let us be cheerful and glad while we mayl
And enjoy our blessings all in right way,
While every patron a quarter for my address
will pay;
Do good when you can, to your poor feI-
low man,
Be courteous, honest, and kind,
And while you enjoy your abundance and
plenty,
Don't lei the needy go from your door empty;
And this, best of rules, bear in mind
To wit always unto your fellow men do
As you would wish them TO do unto you"
Now comes the ladies' precious dears,
In silk ard satin rustic,
And proudly swing their crinoine,
And raise their skirts La-tustle
They gaily promenade the street,
And Gu, up funny capers
And spor, upon their little heads
Those horrid great "sky-scrapers."
The gauuiy, little dashing hat,
All ribbons, bows, and flowers,
Was very neat, and pre,tier far,
Than these old ugly towers!
But then be patient, stately lords,
Your reign will again be here,
For with the close Of last nights sun,
Closed Twelve months, after leap year.
The reign Of better halves is DER,
So gentlemen, now dash on,
And state with prompt accord
That you will lead the fashion.
They've had their grand conventions,
And talked OF womans rights,
And though they've banished pei,icoats
They haven't got the tights.
But The ladies', bless their souls,
Why always talk shout them?
You know, my dear great whskered men
You couldn't do without them
! And now, kind friends, a word or two,
With your gracious permission,
VIII be addressed by me 10 you,
| Defining my neat position.
! I've tried 10 faithful be,
Discharging all my duties,
A method every one can see,
Having peculiar beauties;
And should e'er have failed in this
! ] hope you'll all excuse me,
! For no subscriber did "missn
Save when mem'ry refused me.
| And here | make my parting bow
To all my friends and patrons,
And wish HAPPY NEw YEAR now
| To this and all earth's nations.
Moan PRESTIss, Carrier.
