SIMPLY CoNTEMPTIBLE.-The notice OF
SAKE, in the Union, is a contemplate display
Of supercilliousness, ignorance, and bad
manners It denies that SAKE is a poet de-
nOunces his compositions as sickly and caps
me climax by calling him a wooden nut
wares about the country" Besides this very
Contemptible personal attack on an eminent
and nationally popular writer, and kind
hearted, true, and upright man, the Union
would have its readers believe that witty
rhymster cannot be a poet, or, in other words,
it affects TO push humorous poets aside, as
unworthy the name. Not to occupy time or
space with the ignorance and superciilious-
ness Of such newspaper, it is sufficient to
say, that, to do this we must discard three
tourths Of Shakespeare and Ben johnson
and one-haif Of Halleck, Holmes and Hood,
DANES which the learned and literary men
OF the world honor among the most charming
o. the poets. The Union has right to it's
opinion upon this last ubjgct, and the right
TO back it up with such facts and arguments
as 1t can muster; but it had no right to make
sach gross personal attack upon so noble q
specimen of gentleman and scholar-one

Thou art nero, thou art here, The Glad New
ysa1l
A TSORceme wegive thee, though 10th TO part
VITA thy Sire's fond memories deep in our heartl
Increasingly with us for twelvemonth has he tread
The path that has led him, alas to the Dead
Reluctant he leaves us, but with quiveripg
breath
He gives to us Thee as he sinks into Death
And gaily we sing as thy presence draws near
A welcome, welcome, to the Glad New Year
The Glad New Year-the Glad New Yearl
The Glad New Year. The Glad New Year,
Oh, how many hearts will thy sweet presence
cheerl
But how many, alasl who here twelvemonth ago,
Are now sleeping in graveyards under the snowl
How many have iallen in Wars dreaded strife
How many have sunk meath the Battle of Life
How many The wrecks on Eternity's strand
OF Souls far more precious than Lucre or Land
But truce to the PAST let its Memories lie
In Oblivion buried from each mortal eye
The PRESENT is ours, LET'S improve it while here
And ioyously welcome The Glad New Year,
The Glad New Year, The Glad New Year.
The Glad New Yearl The Glad New Year
For Sinner and Saint alike art thou here
But from now till the time when thy funeral
knell
Shall be sounded from church and cathedral bell
Who can tell what changes thy days may bring
To the now joyous throng, or the Suffering?
Sad Want may reve in radiant Ease,
And the proud blood of Wealth In Poverty freeze !
Monai chs may trembe and Thrones decay,
And the Night OF the Oppressed change to happier
Day;
But whatever the change, in God let us trust
Living and loving the life of the Just;
So that each happy day may find Heaven more
near,
And every year be a Glad New Year

HELLER the wonderful appears at Concert Hall
this evening. Heller must, we think, be several
gentlemen at once, MRS. Malaprop" says, for he
has certainly too many talents for one person. His
playing besides being admirably artistic has the
magic OF soul and sympathy. He deserves to be
burned TOR witchcraft for his tricks and prestidgi-
tation. His second sight is more wonderful than
spritualism, whilst his wit and humOr should have
made him court jester.
