The Daily Journpl-A New Volume.

TODAY we enter upon the 14th volume OF the Dahl
Journal. Twelve months more have rolled around
leaving town still free from the presence of the en-
envy We trust that it may continue so to the end, al
though We cannot fateE ourselves with the hope of al
ways enjoying that immunity from attack with which
have been hitherto ayoured Still, even if attack
ed we do not despair Of being able to weather the
storm.
We need hardly trouble Our readers with any refer
ence to the humble course OF the Journal during the
past twelve months The pressure Of the times has
weighed heavily upon the newspaper business and bas
compelled publishers to advance their rates from ne
to time, yet without being able to keep pace with ht
rise Of everything else There is profit derivabt
from the subscription list of any paper present rates
There will soon be actual osg. OF coufse the adj
vertising alone sustairs the publication.
Still We are not complaining. We have been gus
tainsd most literally and appreciate highly the gene
support which paper has always received and
which 1t ROW receives. The pioneer OF the daily press
in North Carolina it has pursued the even tenor CT it,
way, making less uoise perhaps THAI CtLers, ye
enjoying large and steadily increasing circulation
business. We will endeavour to make it still more
worthy of tie public favour ard Of that corfjauet
which has never been withheld from it.

A NEW SONG OF NEW SMILES.

BY JOHN GAY, 1883.
My passion 10 as mustard strong;
Sit all sober sad
Drunk as piper all day long, =
Or like March hare mad.
Round as a hoop the bumpers Cow;
drink, yet can't forget her;
For though as drunk as David's SOW,
love her still the better.
Pert as a pear-moager d be,
IF Molly were hut kind;
Cool as cucumber could see
The rest of womAnBipd.
Like stuck pig, gaping stare,
And eye her Ger and DER;
Lean as q rake with signs and care,
Sleek as mouse before.
. Plump as partridge was known,
And soft as silk my skin;
My cheeks as fat as butter grown,
But as q goat cow thin
melancholy as o cat,
Am kept awko to weep;
But che insensible of that,
Sound as top can sleep.
HARD is her heart as flint or stone,
She laughs to see NE pale
And merry as grig is grown,
And brisk as bottled ale.
The God Of Love at her approach
Is busy as bee;
Hearts, sound as any bell or roach,
Are smit, and sigh ike me.
All me as thick es hops or hail
The fine men crowd about her;
But soon as dead as q door-nan
Shall be, if without her.
Straight as my leg her shape appears;
o were We joined together
Ny heart would be scot-free from cares,
And lighter than tea her.
As fine as five-pence Is her mein,
No drum was ever tigket;
Her glance is "a the razor keen,
And not the sun ia brighter.
As soft as pap her kisses are,
ðinks taste them yet;
Brown as berry ia her hair,
Her eyes as black as jet.
Az smooth as glass, as white as cugda,
Her pretty hand Invites
Sharp as needle are her words,
Her wi: like pepper bites.
Brisk as body.lnuse she trips,
Clean as penny drest;
Sweet al rose her breath and lips,
Round as the globe her breast.
Full as an egg was I with glee,
And happy as q king;
Good Id! how all men enVied me-
she lov'd like any thing.
But false as hell she like the wind,
Chang'd, as her sex must do
Though seeming as The turtle kind,
And like the gospel true.
If aud Molly could agree,
Let who would take PERU
Great as an Emperor should be,
AID richer than Jew.
Till you grow tender as q chick,
l m 6ul az any post;
Let US like burs tc getEer stick,
Ard warm as any toast.
You'll know me truer than die,
And wish me better speed;
Flat as fl yuEder when lie,
And az a herring dead.
Sure as gun she'll drop tear
And sign, perhaps, and wish,
When am rotten as pear,
Aud mute as any fish

they indulge q dsluslon and the sooner they
get rid of it, and Of every other, the better for they
will then be the better able to look their situation
calmly in the face. The sooner We accept the fact
that there is for US no alternative bat success or
subjugahor, the better. Let us indulge in no more

how long will It BIO before he will forget his promises.

He cannot restore to their masters tho negroes OF whom
Lincoln has made soldiers. Indaol he was the first

that the army of Tennessee will not long stand on
the defensive, and that IL viii coon, n has
