The OLD YEAR.-We are glad that 1865
with Its funeral train of blighted lows. has
passed away forever; and we trust that the
New Year has brought bright hopes and
promises of happiness to all our readers.
dts mark is on each brow.
Its shadow in each heart In its swift course
1t waved its sceptre DER the beautiful
And they are not. 1t laid its pallid hand
Upon the strong man-and the naughty form,
Is fallen, and the flashing eye is dim.
1t passed DER
The tIe.plain, where sword and spear and
shield
Flashed in the light of mid day-and the
strength
OF serried hosts is shivered, and the grass,
Green from the soil of carnage, waves above
The crushed and Wondering skeleton"

THE HOLIDAYS,

Since we last greeted our readers, the
Christmas holidays, the happiest of the
year, have come and passed away. On
Christmas eve, old Santa Claus, with his
huge budget Travelled swiftly on his an.
nual rounds, deposi'ing something nice
and good in the stocking of every little
one causing their innocent hearts to
bound with JOY and their voices to ring
out IN merry Deals, and their bright eyes
to look worlds Of wonder and notes OF
admiration 90 Christmas morn. God
bless their lille hearts what would the
world be without the innocent children =?
The children OF larger growth, too, had
their enJoyments, whilst the season passed
not without pleasure to the middle aged
and the old. Every family had its Christ !
mas turkey, or ought to have had, and
everybody had bis egg nog, whether be
ought to have had or not. Re unions
ruled lhe festive season, and all went
mtII rs CHRISTMAS chimes.
The old year, '65. has passed away,
with Its mighty events, its sad disasters
to one portion Of the Republic, its brilliant
successes to the other-its joys and sor,
rows, its realized hopes and blasted ex,
pectations. Though many households
mourn the absence OF loved ones who |

The English Press on President
Johnson.

The English papers are beginning to praise
President johnson and his policy. The Lon.
don Times thinks that his confidence ia the
south and the bold liberality of his policy,
are not likely to be in vain. The News char
acterizes his administration as sagacous and
prudent. The Telegraph says it affords both
crushing rebuke to the believers in an out.
worn diplomacy, and splendid encourage
ment to those who believe in the capacity of
a free people to select rulers, when one sees
that this elftanght tailor of Tennessee, by
virtue of his direct sincerity of purpose and
his homely mother wit, bids fair to succeed
in task which might have sorely tried the
statecraft of a Richeieu. The Herlad saws
that the president has agreeably dsappoint-
I'd at least Que half of the world by a wise
md statesmanlike policy, that will give him
high place in the pantheon of American
worthless.
