CARRIERS ADDRESS.


No one can count the hopes and joys,
The sorrow aud the pain;
That thousand hears have felt since last
The New Year came again.
-And who can fell the thousand more
That shall in this beiide-
The lies of friendship and OF love
That shall be knit or sundered wids2
To many This has been the last
To gladden. lies bright way;
And many more will wish't had been
The last OF their dark day
The generous impulse has been chilled
By selfshness and guile;
The noble, friendly prompting, check'd
And betrayed with smile.
While upon others joys have beamed
And goodness nerved the heart
To deeds that generous impulse prom pls,
And purest joys impau.
The faithful and devoted ihrob
OfIrue hearts fond and dear,
Reminds that earth is not all dross
And Heaven is ever near.

The times are sadly out of joint,
When rogues can daily make their point,

Integrity is out of date
And only he seems truly great,
Who forges, steels or runs away f;
And it seems stupid now 10 pay
An honest debt in promised time,
Or to keep fingers out OF crime;
Now railroads lords and bankers call
Their creditors together ALL
And from Sir John 10 Harry down,
Ask an ''extention" from the town
While foplings with more beard than brains
Swell largely on i'll gotten gains;
And Ills most lucky now 10 know
Quite nothing, as elections show,
And easier far 'tis 10 excite
Fra.ernal love for black than WHITE.
Too many try TO live by wit
Who have no stock 10 make a hit,
Or Try 10 live in Incidence
On others earnings, with no sense
OF shame nor OF aught else but pride
To sneer al labor aud derids
The hand that earns their daily bread
Aad uxuries from loot 10 head.
God grant that death with noiseess wing
May lose the poison of his sting
That war may cease its hideous hum
And sileuced be the battle drum,
That man may learn the arts OF love,
And learn more of the God above
May northern produce. rich with food
Seek first the southern brotherhood,
And southern staples quickly HE
Our northern comforts 10 supply;
While in the councils of the land
May North and South IN niied stand.
CoIumbia's sons, ye men of mark
Crush ye The frat incendiary spark,
That brings TO light disunion fire,
And let the traitor feel your ire,
Til men who would this Union sever
Shall live in iniamy forever.
And you, ye patrons Of the STAs
WHO love TO spread it's news alar,
Remember now The carrier-boy
Whose eager steps increase your Joy
He wishes you blithe New Year,
Unceasing 10y and bounteous cheer.

THE BREvET SYSTEM The brevet sys.
tenn has been so abused By the military
managers, the War Office, and the pol.
iticians who infest both camp and Cab
met, that it is 8 nuisance. It's hard
to decide whether it is an honor OF
otherwise TO be brevetted. The New
York Times justly says
AN examination of the list of bre-
vets already confirmed by the Senate
will call to the memory of our readers
q pungent letter of General Sherman s
10 the War Department in which, af-
ter protesting against the sdvance-
ment of officers who left in the midst
of bullets to 60 10 the rear in search of
advancement he says, 'if the rear be
the post of honor, then we had better
change front on Washington. Ac-
cording 10 our estimate, the nineteen
senior Major Generals by brevet are
bureau officers, over a dozen of whom
have not heard shot in battle during
the war, and scarcely one of whom has
been in position which would raise
the rate of life assurance. These Of
fcers are senior by brevet to all OF the
gallant officers like Hooker, Hancock,
Howard and Schofeld, who have led
our troops in triumph from the Aissis
sippi TO the sea, and against the strong
holds Of the enemy"
