Friday Morning. January l. 1859.
The New Year.

To the many readers of the PAenir we
extend our hearty congratulations on the
marked improvement in the appearance of
things mundane. The crops of the past
year were excellent. business, per conse-
quence, brisk, and our people, as whole
laying politics aside-seem disposed to take
things as they find them, and go to work
with will, keeping in mind the old couplct
''As Time gides on with rapid wings,
We look with hope to better times"
Let us all look encouragingly to the fu-
turc. If we should sit in idleness, wonder
ing whether our future will be dark or
bright, it would assuredly be dark Let us
determine that it shall be bright, if human
energy, industry and endurance can make
it so. When the unchristianized Romap
worshipped the tabled Janus, (from whose
name our January is derived,) they repre-
sented him with two faces, because he was
supposed to view both things past and those
inevitably approaching. Upon the calends
of January, fresh garlands flushed over his
statues. Twelve affairs, representing the
months, were erected to him, and he was
n'oio ooPC0ioiiJ ocuouiniteu HHtHeT, De-
cause deluded mythology deemed him the
author Of all things A better revelation
has taught us more sublime conceptions,
and with Heaven derived Christianity, let
lis devote not only our earthly but celestial
hopes to that God whom the Ephesians
ignoiantly worshipped, who expiated on his
cross the errors of mankind, and who is
alike the Lord of time and of eternity; to
whom years are but as days. and who will
balance in his eternal book. with just and
pitying hand, the multform accounts of
erring humanity.

while he condemned the practice of using
these Bitters too freely, he could not con
scientiously say that he would discard them
from the side-board, for he himself had ex-
perienced beneficial results from their use,
and that from long and close observation,
he was convinced that when used moderately
and as medicine exclusively, they were
all that was recommended. At the same
time he warned his hearers not to pull the
cork too often. for they were far too pleasant
a tonic to trfe with.

CHERRY PICTORIAL,

For Diseases Of the Throat and Lungs such as
Coughs, Colds, Who0ping Cough, Bron-
chais, hstitmd and Consumption
pROBABLY never before in the whole history of
Il medicine, has ANYTHING 80 widely and 40
deeply upon the confidence of mankind as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints
Through long series of years, and among most
OF the races of men, it has risen higher and higher
In their estimation, as il has become better known
It's uniform character and power to cure the yari-
GUS affections OF the lungs and throat have made
IL known as a reliable protector against them
While adapted to mildcr forms of disease and to
young children, it Is at the same time the most
ehectual remedy that can be givcn for incipient
consumption, and the dangerous affections of the
throat and lungs. Az provision against sudden
attacks of GROUP, it should be kept on hand in
every family; and, indeed, as all are sometimes
subpctt to colds and coughs all should be provided
with this antidotc for them
Although settled CONSUMPTION is thoupht
lncurable, still great numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health by
the CHERRY PICTORIAL So complete ia its
mastery over the disorders of the lungs and
throat that the most obstinate of them Weld to it.
When nothing else could reach them under the
CHERRY PICTORIAL they subside and dsap-
pear.
SINGERS and PUBLIC SPEAKERS find great
protection from it,
ASTHMA is always relieved and often whole
cured by it.
BRONCHITIS is generally cnrsd hy taking the
CHERRY PICTORIAL in small and FREQUENT doses.
SO generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish tho certificates of them here, or do
more than assure tho public that its qualities are
fully maintained

DEATH-BEp CoNrEss1oN or A MuRpEnEss-

DEATH-BED CONFESSION OF MURDEREss-
SHE PoIsoNs HER HUSBAND, CHILD AND
FATHER-N-LAw.--The township Of La
fayette, Sussex County, New Jersey, is con-
siderably excited at the present time over
some revelations made by woman named
White, just previous to her dissolution,
which took place last Saturday. The par
ticulars of her confesson are horrible in the
extreme, and would indicate that the fero-
clous spirit of Lucretia Borgia has
found another shocking parallel in these
latter days. Our correspondent writes us
that the woman White, who was widow,
fell victim to consumption. Being q
member of the Methodist Church, she sent
for her fellow members to attend her in her
dying hours, and stated to than that abc..
seven years ago she poisoned her infant
child. so that it died. A year or so after,
she administered poison to her husband 8
father, and he died too. Later still, on the
return of her husband from the army, she
7ealt to him also fatal potion, and he too
passed into the spirit land. The miserable
woman has borne good character, as also
her relatives. They are poor people The
only reason assigned for making this dying
declaration is that she desired to rid her
conscience of this immense load of crime
prior to her death.-Nerark Journal

The OLD YEAR.-The following lines
were suggested by the poem in Thursdays
PhRnir:
The old year is going, how slow beat his
pulses!
How cold are the hands that he folds on his
breast;
Nature stands by him, with eye-lids tear
And pail of 'thick darkness" to fold him to
rest
How sadly we gather around the departing,
We cling to his skirts, and beg him to stay;
For he holds all the hours that passed us in
SHINING,
And to seal them against us, he bears them
away.
Oh, Time. fold your pinons, and let the
year linger,
Just one little moment, till we wbisnor-
forgive!
Then plume them again, and in Gods
eternity,
Let the old year find rest, where the diving
shall live.
Then upward, old year, mount the glistening
pathway
That thousands before thee, with gladness
have trod;
Then thou shalt stand; in the moonlight of
glory,
Here, i'll darkness and silence, thou diest
like god S.B.

PoLIrENEss IN BUSINESS. There is a good
deal of sound philosophy in the following,
which we extract from the column of "Wall-
Nnts, in the Christian Register:
':."hat IL pleasant thing it is to deal with
pleasant men. How much tone helps
trade, reconciles you to price, and sends
you OIL with nearer feeling of an euuiva-
lent for your outlay. A smile and thank
you go great way, and when they are so
cheap, cost so little and 90 so far. one
wonders that they are so dear, and that so
little of minor courteses enter into the inter
course and interests of men. 1t is q very
pleasant thing to go out of store with the
sense of favor conferred. Indeed enc
STANDS little petty evident cheating with n
placid complacency, if only the cheater adds
the suavity of manner and of tone to his
art. And what an art that is which makes
you buy when you had determined not to.
and reconciles you to price you know to
be not only abominable, but one YOU ought
not to pay. Is there harder thing to face
than that very industrious store-pbrase. SIS
there anything else to.day?' Only let a
man get the right tone and manner. and
you have more moral courage than most
people, If you don't begin to be rather
ashamed OF the smallness of your order or
your purchase, look about and remember
that there is something else, and so run mp
your bill or deposit your pocket book, from
want OF courage to meet stereotyped bnsi-
ness phrase-the moral history of which
your tOrmenter perfectly understands. How
mean man feels when, walking home, ,.e
realizes the little trick of trade to which he
has succumbed."

Obituary.-We have already briefly
announced the death of Miss Hill, but
cheerfully give place to the following
notice of her death in the Jackson mich. J
Chten:
At Bridport, VT, July 18th, of quick
consumption, Agnes l.. Hill.
Miss Hill has been engaged for the past
two years as a teacher among the Freed
men at Memphis, in the employ of the
first Congregational church of this city,
She was an enthusiastic and successful
teacher and devoted herself to the work
of eevating the children of oppression to
whom she was sent, with an ardor that
consumed her life. Her letters 10 her
friends and employershere constantly spoke
Of her self-denying work as joy and de-
light Her whole heart was in it, and
when, during the hot summer months came
North to seek relaxation, she declared she
needed no rest and refused to take any.
But the resolute young spirit was
stronger than the frame in which it was
set, and, in May last, disease laid its hold
upon her and compelled her to suspend
her labors. She returned to her home
under the shadows Of the Green Noun
tains, there to tarry only a few weeks till
she went to her home above. Her death
was like her life, bright with hope, and
full of confidence in her precious Saw
ior." Jesus willsend an Angel for me, +"
she said, and amid her sufferings, which
were great at the last, she patiently wait
ed his coming. Faithful unto death, -
the "crown Of life " is already hers
