The HERALD runs its Annual Round,
And ever at its work is found. ar
Its Mission every one dlscerns, v1go
And day by day its value learns.
OF late we saw it-goiag dofcRt
And yet we find it still SIN towns" ,ss
Still moving on its course unchecked;
For you must not for once suspect,
Because it has gone d0OR, that so
u has of course "goRe UP pro, no,
Down 1oaOR, we mean, but up, IN fact;
Securing what before it lacked
Fit residence, and ample space
To run its grand and earnest race. t
1t now is found---perhaps you know.
On Center Street, near Merchants Row;
Where Books, and Paper by the ream;
And Printing Presses, driven by Steam,
Will add new lustre to name
That daily wins increasing fame.
So give its PUBLISHERS call:
You'll find them kind to each and all,
And pleasanter than e'er before -
Such influence has New Brick Store.
You will, IN fact, most any day, sJ'
Find FUTILE and his partner-GAY
Patrons, the Old Years work is doae
Set is its last descending sun;
Its countless tears have all been shed,
And sealed the Record of its Dead
To some, alas it brought no cheer
A sad, melancholy Year, .... .
Whose name pang of sorrow sends
Through hearts bereft of dearest friends 7
To ethers it was full of joy;
With scarce title Of alloy,
Save that the thought of War and Strifs
Has chastened cen the happiest life.
To each and all alike it brought
Its Message, and this Lesson taught :--
" With Care and Toll and Grief oppressed,
g, Remember this is NOT, thy Rest"
On some dull ears its Lesson fell, ..ra
But others strove to learn it well.
Another New Year comes to-day,
And enters on its destined way.
It's Record all unwritten yet!
And none can tell what snares beset
The paths which they must follow Dis
While iourneying with the coming IL
The paths of some, alas will end s
| Before the Spring its flowers shall send, =
And Summers earliest leaves shall wave
Der many and many anew-made grave!
| The paths of others still will close
| Before they tread December's SHOWS,
| And all their work on earth be done,
Ere yet the Years swift course is run

The Prnesss Alexandra's JOY
Is now complete-a Royal Boy
Is hers, all full Of Royal Blood
And yet it's clearly understood,
Ia such COED season did it come
It's father being gone from home
That no physician could be had
Except common one how bad
For Royalty and, what IS worse,
They couldn't find Royal nurse
Only common one was found,
Though searching all the Palace round
But 81dde8t thing must yet be sung,
For soon the baby found tongue;
And Royalty drew back, appalled,,
When at its Baptism it SglIajLed -
Squaled loud and iong, and made much
noise,
Like other very common boys
Three Hundred Years have fed apsce
Since Shakespeare, marvel Of his Race,
First saw the morning sunlight gleam
Across sweet Avon's gentle stream.
How fitting, then, that there should be
A grand Tercentenary Spree,
To keep the memory ever green
Of greatest Genius Earth has seen.
At Stratford, beautiful Retreat,
Savants and literati meet,
To reverence, as best they can,
The wondrous "myriad-mlnded man,
And, in our own Metropolis,
Poets resolved somewhat like this -
With empty praises not content
6" Wen build the man a Monument
ResO51sd, but when it's built may we,
Like one Of old, be there to see.
Great Garibaldi makes his way
To England, where he hopes to stay
Awhile, and visit with the Queen,
And see whatever's to be seen.
When 10 It speedily Is found
That 'usn't safe to have him round
So poor his health it is Mt best
That be should longer be their guest
The doctor says he mustn't stay,
Where It's so cold, another dag!
The 0retert IS his hsalh-Do tell
The reason we all know full well,
Grea, Britain breads hls wondrous skill
Which moves the masses at h.s will.

RUTLAND, W. THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 5, 1865


With patriotic ardor fred s.~ va.
Until the long-sought prize ne gaiasr
And hath Atlanta for his pains.
Phil Sheridan, the bold and true,
Fights EARLY, and fights often, too;
Aud since he caught the Early bird
His praise on every lip is heard
And, for his swift AMI brilliant race,
He has a Major Generals place. ..
Full many a gallant leader dies, ..a
For War demands sacrifice,
How maay hearts with grief were filed,
To hear of Colonel Dahlgren killed
OF Sedgwick, bachelor, whose joys
All centered in his soldier-boys
Of Wadsworth, not too much to say,
The model Patriot of his day
OF young MCPHERSON, bidding fair
The three starred shoulder-straps to wear
John Morgan is secured at last,
For the Old Nick has got him fast.
Right Reverend Fighting General r.
Bishop Leonldas PoIk-Do tell ..
Is dead, the J5boLe of him, but where
He all has gone, must declare,
Is rather difficult TO tell.
No doubt the General 5 gone lowell,
No matter, but, to make it even,
The Bishop may have gone to Heaoea.
XI.
The Rebel Navy, never great, #-
Is farlng rather hard of late
The Alabama found at length
It's match, made trial Of its strength,
Proved quite unequal, and went down,
And has Mt since been seen in town.
But Captain Semmes - well, he could
SOjmi
Besides, John B,G looked out for him.
The Georgia, going out to play
Was sieEed by the Niagara.
The Florida battle sought
With the Wachusett, and was caught.
Lieutenant Cushing's daring feat
Was crowned with victory complete.
The Aloemarle no more we dread
The Ram has lowered his naughty head
And Plymouth being left alone,
Suocumbs, and is again our own.
/ XII.
Political Conventions meet,
And make arrangements, all complete,
| To clect-if so the people please
Their yery ,e1rtby nominees.
The Emancipation -Border-State-
! Convention failed to nominate.
! Not so the C.eyeiand-there we find
The Radicals ia force combined
To do great things at least, to try,
| With - FRymoNT p as their Battle-Cry.
| At Balumo g the Union men
Just lIomibste OH A be again, 1920
That all except the bind, may see
| Who our 9eEt President Is to be.
The Rebels et Chicago meet;
Mako Peace Platform, all so neat;
/ An then thsy put upon the track
! The " Hes ,tatOr, Little Mac
Whom they 1T last are greyed to fad
As usual, very far-behind.
/ And now Mass Meetings are the rage;
, And Platforms all our thoughts engage:
! And Ballots only can allay .....
The strife which thiokens day by day.
XIII.
OF Raids we've had a great parade,
In divers forms and fashions made.
And first by Sherman-monster Raid,
Dowa into Mississippi made.
BY bold Fitzpatrick thrilling Raid,
Within three miles of Richmond made
BY Early-sn avenging Raid.
See Chambcrsburg a Ruin made
BY Prce-electioneering Raid.
Missour'8 vote tells what he made.
BY Sherldan-an Early Raid.
Quite early and quite often made.
BY Rebels North-a Border Raid.
St. Al0aus very famous s,.ade.
Again by Shermaa--seoret Raid,
Through Georgia to--that's tsVjpg-made
And, worst Of all, Rebel Raid
BY Roughs, on Ballot-Boxes made

Is woman competent to fill
The Rostrum, and with matchless skill
To win the Masses to her cause,
While listening Senates shout applause 2
No longer with this question vexed
Need anybody be perplexed.
Miss Dickinson at last appears,
Removes all doubts, dispeIs all fears;
And finds, e'en in this talking age,
Not many equals on the stage.
Miss &C. q. Nation" serves, of late,
A great commotion to create
Among the Democrats, who fear
That she will introduce, up here,
Her own peculiar Customs, which
She long has practiced 'mong the rich
Shareholders South: but non the boot
Is clearly on the other foot.

That he had better be removed

That on the BULBS horn proudly sat,
Remarking, "if too heavy, he
Would hy off very speedily p
To whom the bull, unmoved, replied,
" Your preSeace l had not e8pied !"
So Lincoln, much to Val's regret,
Has wholly failed to see him yet.
Judge Barnard, much aggrieved, ar
raigns
One Horace Greeley, and complains
OF Horace for contempt of Court.
H. G. responds, but-here's the sport
Refuses to apologize. .
The Judge, to every ones surprise,
''Accepts H. G.'s Apology. ..5t
I" Entirely satisfied !" says he
Jeff's Peace Commissioners surprise
And pull the woel DER Greeley's eyes )"
Bat Abe, so ready for turn,
Just writes To whom it may Concern,"
And Peace Commissioners find out
That Lincoln knows what he's about,

by the heaps of smoking earth stood one
of those burners. He was splendid
specimen of man, as far as physical pro-
portions are con cerned; fully six feet in
height and stout in proportion. His
broad shoulders might have contained
