For the Times.
THE OLD YEAR.

Adieu! adieu! to the dear old year
That with rapid strides has passed away;
And borne upon its vicwless wings,
Visions of lovely and vanish led things;
OF by-gone scenes, dear to our heart
OF halcyon joys in which We took part.
Faces of loved ones, the smile and tear,
Have all passed away with the dying year.
"Adieu! adieu! to the dear old year,
In softencd echoes still greet the car,
And we gaze while the fires Of memory burn
On joys that perchance may never return.
Then again we hear in tones of the past,
Soft music, sweet music too char ming to last.
Oh the past and its treasures are far more worth
Than all the treasures and weal lth of earth.
Adieu! once more, to the dear old year;
Nor heed old Time in his rapid flight:
His wings are laden with ecenes that lingcr
Around our hearts traced with mystic finger,
Bright visions of memory, that with happiness
CLEAN,
OF field, of woodland and ripling stream.
And bright halos around them beam
Like to the shadow of beautiful dream.
Alas from us the old year has fed,
Hail to the new one, that reigns in its stead,
Hail, to fond hopes that We may all cherish,
Hail the promises may they not perish,
Hail to dreams that were fraught with sadness,
Hail to the future; may il veil them with gladness
Hail to our friends and loved ones dear,
Hail to a lifelong, and Happy New Year.

COUNTY AUDlToRs.-The new Office of
county auditor will haye practical exist
ence on and after the first Of January.
Those county judges whose terms of Office
continue to January 1870, will be auditors
er cticio. The auditor will be clerk of the
board Of supervisors, he will make cut the
tax list, issue warrants, keep accounts with
the treasurer, control matters pertainingto
roads, with the advice and consent of the
board OF supervisors, receive redemptions
from tax sales, make up the assessors
books and keep books Of transfer which
are now under control of the recorder. The
Office Of auditor, therefore, is one Of the
most important in the county. The county
clerk will he relieved of much of his pre-.
sent work, but none of his present pay.
His duties will pertain eatirely to the cir
cult and district courts. During vacations
of the circuit court he will have charge Of
the business connected Herewith. The
circuit judge will issue marriage licences,
have care Of the insane, estates Of minors,
as well as all other probate and judicial
matters. Whether tho creation Of this
new Office will prove Of any good remains
to be seen. 1t will take some time for the
incoming incumbents to get the hang Of
the thing, and until they do there will be
considerable jarring, as matter Of course.

icious woman she managed to crawl to
the house Of Elspcth, who received her
kindly; and in 'Elspeth's bed she died q
few days afterward. The latter had be-
come a rich woman by the sale of her
wonderful pile of linen and when she
told the story to the people who flocked to
the place to gaze in astonishment at the
new Island, they said:
"'This is what will do; we will call
the new Island Hiddensee, that every enc
may know it was by the wicked Hidda's
fault that this piece was torn from our be-
loved Rugen.'
"And Hiddensee the Island is called to
this day. In further remembrance of
these events, the arm of sea which sepa-
rates the new Island from Rugen was
called the Trough, because it had flowed
out of pig trough and every one who
looks at it remembers how Dame lIidda
sinned through avarice, and was punished
by having her wish"

SHORT TAIL.-A Norwegian fable salts
factorily accounts for the short tail of the
bear. The bear, it seems, was once met
by fox who carried load of fish,
and who, in answer to the question how he
had obtained them, replied that he caught
them by angling. The bear expressed q
desire to know an art so useful when the
fox informed him that he had only to make
hole in the ice and insert his tail. 'You
must stop long enough, and not mind if it
hurt you little," said the friendly adviser,
