Mind Friends and Patrons, once again
I take my long-neglected pen,
To tell, % in the olden time,
The Story OF Year in rhyme.
Yours was the task to while away,
On each returning New-Year's Day,
An hour, which doubtless seemed too long.
In listening to my Annual Song.
Five years have flown since last l told
Ny rhyming Story of the Old,
To which we babe glad adieu,
While hoping better Of the New.
And now again, at your request.
Needing, - 'twere, your mild beheet
I'll tell You, since you wish to hear,
The Story Of another Year.
And yet NO easy task Is mine,
To tell Of Eighteen Sixty Nine.
Full well know my verse will swell
To large proportions while tell
or countless things both said and done,
While sixty Nine Its circuit run
OF Flood, whose like had ne'er been known
Since Noah put to sea alone:
OF Earthquakes, giving cause for fear,
Since they are coming most too near:
or Gale, which made Bostonians frown,
When 7 blew their Coliseam down:
OF Revolutions, here and there,
II might - well say svsyy where:
OF Spain, seusd looking FOR thing
That best win servo her for king:
Ofwars, quite cicl to be sure.
Yet quite unpleasant to endure
Ofgrand Centsnnial Display
On Baron Humboldt's natal day:
OF accidents from Carelessness,
Producing manifold distress
OF Death, which stalks from zone to zone,
And has all seasons for his own
OF the Pacific Railroad-Done.

OfHoms. now blsst with smiling Peace
From Wars alarms sweet'release
OF Congress, doing some good things,
In spite OF vetoss, tcamps, or 'sRings";

A Years TroubleS

John Newton once said "Sometimes
| compare the troubles we undergo in the
course of a year to great bundle of ia
gots, far too large for us 40 lift. But God
does not require US to carry the whole at
once. He mercifully unties the bundles,
and gives US first one stick, which we are
able to carry to day aud then another
which We are able to carry to morrow,
and so on. This We might easily man
age it we would only take the burden ap-
pointed for US each day but We choose
to increase our trouble by carrying yester-
days stick over again to-day, and adding
to morrow's burden to our load be fore
we are able to bear it,

Liability of Indorsers of Notes.

In the Court of Common Pleas, yester-
day, before Judge Carey, the case of
Cromwell vs.. Stewart Il Laws, was tried
on these facts:-Iu 1865 j. r. Stewart
gave note, signed by himself, for $500,
payable to S. L. Cromwell. On the back
of the note were signed the names of Will
liam Laws and Eli Henckle, at the time
of its delivery to Cromwell, but which
Cromwell never indorsed. The note was
not paid at maturity, nor protested and
no notice given of non payment TO Laws
or Henckle. Cromwell brought suit a
gainst all three as the makers of Joint and
several note, though on its face it was II
promise to pay" The defendants, Stewart
& Laws, severed their defense and plead
ed separately, Laws claiming to be merely
an indorser, and signed his name on the
back of the note as such that to be held
liable the note needed protest and notice
to him ofd ishonor. The plaintiff claimed
that, as the names of all the parties were
on at the time of delivery, whatever part
of the paper bore the signatures of the
parties, ther were joint makers as much
as if their names had been signed on the
face of the note and Immediately under
the first signer, and so much they were
liable without protest or notice. The
court so ruled. and judgment was given
for the plaintiff ff-Baltmorc Sun, Dec.

A Yankee Collector.

A gentleman from New York, who had
been in Boston for the purpose of collect
ing some money due him in that city, was
about returning, when he found that one
bill of 500 had been overlooked. His
landlord who knew the debtor, thought
it doubtful case but added that if it
was collected at all, tall raw boned Yam
kee, then dunning a lodger in another
part Of the hall, would worry it OUT of
the man.
Calling him up, therefore, he introduc-
ed him to the creditor, who showed him
the account.
"Well, Square," said he, "tain' much
use trying; [ guess | know that critter.
You might as well try to squeeze lie out
of Bunker Hill monument as to elect a
debt out of him. But anyhow, Square,
what will you give, s'poslng | do try ~
"Well, sir, the bill is one hundred dol
lars. I'll give you-yes, I'll give you
half, if you collect it.
Greed" replied the collector "there' s
no harm in tryin' any way"
Some weeks after the creditor chanced
to be in Boston, and in walking up Ire
mont street encountered his enterprising
friend.
"Look o here" said he, "Squarc, l
had considerable luck with that bill O.

ANDREW JOHNSON, PRESIDENT.
A PROCLAMATION :

Whereas, The President of the United
States has heretofore set forth several pro
clamations Offering amnesty aud pardon
to persons who had been or were concern
ed in the late rebellion against the lawful
authority Of the Government of the United
States, which proclamation were several
ly issued on the 9Th day of ecember,
1868; on the Goth day of March, 1864 ;
on the 18th day of May 1865 on the 9th
day of September, 1867, and on the 4th
day of July in the present year and
Whereas, The authority of the Federal
Government having been re, established
in all the States and Territories within
the jurisdiction Of the United States, it is
believed that such prudential reservations
and exceptions as at the dates Of the said
several procamations were deemed neces-
sary and proper, may now be wisely and
justly relinquished, and that universal
amnesty and pardon for participation in
said Rebellion, extended to all who have
borne any part therein, will tend to secure
permanent peace, order and prosperity
throughout the land, and to renew and
fully restore confidence and fraternal feel
ing among the whole population, and
their respect for and attachment TO the
National Government, designed by Its
patriotic founders for the general good.
Now, therefore, be it known that |,
Andrew johnson, President of the United
States, by virtue Of the power and au,
thority in me vested by the Constitution
and in the name of the sovereign people
Of the United States, do hereby proclaim
and declare, nnconditionally and without
reservation, to all and to every person who
directly or indirectly participated in the
late insurrection of Rebellion, full par
don and amnesty for the offense of treason
against the United States, or of adherina
to their enemies during the late civil war
with restoration of all rights, privilege:
and immunities under the Constitution
and the laws which have been made in
pursuance thereof.
In testimony whereof I have signed
these presents with my hand, and have
caused the seal of the United States to be
hereunto affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, the 25tl
day of December, in the year of Oul
Lord, 1868, and in the independence
of the United States of America the
95th ANDREW JOHNSON.
BY the President:
f. w SEWARD, Acting Sec. of State
The full pardon and amnesty proclama
ton just issued by the President, include:
Jeff. Davis, Breckenridge, Jacob Thomp
son, Mason. Slidell and all others wht
were directly or indirectly engaged in tht
late insurrection or rebellion. The par
ties above named are now in foreign coun
| tries.

Remedies for POisOnS.

Cases OF poisoning ofton occur in which
life might be saved, and hours Of agony
averted, of we only knew what to do in
season. If a poison burns the throat and
acts violently upon the stomach, swallow
half pint of sweet oil, or melted butter
or lard, and, within five minutes, take
half pint of warm water, in which has
been stirred teaspooonful of ground
mustard and salt The oil arrests the ac-
tion of the poison, and the mustard aud
salt causes vomiting. If the poison swal-
lowed does not burn the throat and act
with instant violence, but causes sickness,
stupor or faintness, swallow the whites of
three eggs; also quantity Of the strong
est coffee it is possible to make, and in a
few minutes take the warm water and
mustard and salt as before mentioned. An
eminent physician says that with prompt
use of oil, and white of eggs and strong
coffee, and the emetic as above directed,
the fatal result of any poison likely to fall
in the way Of man or child, may be al
ways ayerted. These remedies are, in
themselves, harmless, and might all be
taken into the stomach at once, in any
quantity without damage to the system /;
and they are things that we always have
at hand. But while using these things
don't fail to send for physician. And
above all, and first of all don't have any
poison around.

HORACE GREELEY.-The New York
correspondent of the Milwaukee Sentinel
says concerning Mr.. Greeley.
Abused as Horace Greeley is by
friends and foes, doubt very much if
there lives another editor in the world
who at the bottom is so respected. 1t
has come to be an American habit to
speak sneeringly of him, habit that he
himself must be accustomed to by this
time, but notice that respect and admira-
tion for his sturdy boldness, and for his ex-
perieuce, always triumphs in a mixed
assembly when he is spoken of or appears
Men who commenced years ago to save
up materials for his obituary have passed
away aud been forgotten; but he still
shambles round the Spruce street corner
Upstairs in journalism who predicted his
political annihilation and his social down
fall, have run the course of decadency
but he still smiles blandly. Men tried to
set his Office on fire and burn him out,
but it was no use. Bennett has with
drawn in seniality to his penitential re-
treat at Mount Washington. Thurlow
Weed does little but tell old mems gos-
sip, aud Bryant occasionally does poem
but old Greeley pegs away iu the same
