NEW YEARS DAY.

lll II is once more our privilege and pleasure to
greet the readers of the National Intelligen,er on
the advent Of New Year, and to tender them our
best wishes for their happiness and prosperity
during all the months that shall mark its course.
s The auspices under which the day breaks upon
the land speak, indeed, rather Of toll and endur-
ance than of ease or enjoyment. But if we have
fallen on evil times they none the less come to
every citizen with their adjuraton to manly effort.
IF there ever was season when the voice of the
syren, Sloth, might surely count on her voaries,
that season has certainly passed away at an hour
when, alike in the council chamber of the legisla-
tor, the bureaux Of the Cabinet and in the tented
field" SO many incentives call the actors in this
solemn crisis to high-minded thought and heroic
enterprise.
The year which is just closed has been fertile in
great events, but it is not presumptuous to say
that the year which has now dawned upon us is
pregnant with events that shall be still more mo-
mentous. because destined in all human probability
to fix for years the fate Of the Republic. The
curtain which hangs like the impenetrable veil Of
Isis before the future that awaits no hand may
presume to lift, and the wisest seers confess to
have lost their power to divine. But every
citizen, whether in public or in private life,
whether in exalted or in humble station, reso-
lutely address himself each day to the days ap-
nonted duties, "as ever in the sight of the Great
Taskmaster's eye;" and, if faithfully performing
those duties, each in his allotted sphere may safely
leave the issue of the great strife to be guided to
its predestined end by the hand Of Him who led
His ancient people through the wilderness like a
flock, and whose throne in the heavens abideth
forever.
