The Rich AND THE PooR.-What
is wealth? Wealth is whatever men
can realize from Nature for their
sustenance and enjoyment. Labor
is what realizes it. Prudence saves
from it, and the savings become
capital, which helps to extend and
multiply the operations of labor,
and thus creates more capital. The
wealthy are composed of those who
have inherited property from others,
those who have acquired it acciden-
tally, and those who have. realized
it for themselves. The poor, in like
manner, are composed Of those who
have inherited poverty from others
those who have become poor by &C
cident, and those who have brough
poverty upon themselves. The mos
familiar mode of producing povert,
I is by idlenesa A man viii no
work; he realizes no wealth; he is O
course poor. Or he squanders il
some absurd manner the earning
which he does realize, and thus re
mains equally poor as If he did nc
work. The poverty arising froI
idleness viii only be durable, as
has ever been, by industry.-Tha
which comes from wastefulness wi
only be cured by economy.

ANOTHER YEAR.

BY NoIAH PERRY, IN JANUARY GALAXY. VI
"Another year" she said, another year.
These roses have watched with SO much
care,
Have watched and tended without pain OF
fear,
Shall bud and bloom for me exceeding
fair
Another year." she said, ''another year.
-,:,,er-
Another year." she said, another year,
My life perhaps may bud and bloom
again,
May bud and bloom like these red roses
here,
Unlike them, tended with regret and
pain
Another year perhaps, another year"
Another year, ah yes, another year,
When bloom my roses, all my life shall
bloom;
When summer comes. my summer tool
be here,
And l shall cease to wander in this
gloom
Another year, ah yes, another year"
''For ah, another year, another year,
Ill set my life in richer, stronger soil,
And prure the weeds away that creep too
near,
And watch and tend with never-ceasing
toll. -
Another year, ah yes. another year."
Another year, alas another year,
The roses all lay withering ere their
prime,
Poor blighted buds, with scanty leaves
and sere,
Dropping and dying long before their
time
Another year, Alas another year,
And all, another year, another year,
Low, like the blighted dying buds, she
lay,
Whose voice had prophesied without a
fear,
Whose hand had trimmed the rose-tree
day by day;
To bloom another year, another year.

IFrom the Plaquemines Republican,
Senator Butler attacked by
Algerine COrs0irs.
TIE FIFTH DISTRICT AND SENATOR
BUTLER.

At large and enthusiastic meet
ing of the Algiers Radical Repub-
lican Club, on motion of Captain
VIM. L. Loan, Tie following resolu-
tons were unanimously adopted:
"Whereas, Edward Butler, State
Senator representing this District,
was elected mainly upon the ground
of his pledged hostility to the cor
rupt administration of Governor
Warmoth; and whereas, his actions
in accepting place upon the bogus
State Committee, and in his advo-
cacy of and voting for P. B. S.
Pinchback as the successor to our
late lamented Lieutenant Governor,
Oscar ]. Dunn, thus supporting
man who, by his own confession,
uses his official position to further
his private fortune, and whose past
course has shown how utterly Unfit
he is to support the dignity Of
Lieutenant Governor of a great
commonwealth, prove that the
opinions Of Senator Butler have
been materially changed while those
of his constituents have maintained
unalterable, be it
Resolved, That the said Edward
Butler has entirely lost the conf
dence of the people Of this district
and we do hereby call upon him t.
resign the position Of State Senate
he now holds.
Resolved, That the people OF tn
parish of Plaquemines be notifies
of these proceedings. and requeste'
to endorse them, and that these re
solutions be published in the Ma
tional Republican.

ing the New Year, some sportive
others serious, others in which both
the n.irthful and serious are inter
mingled. By some it is fired out,
and the New Year fred in, by dis
charge of firearms; others open the
house door at twelve o'clock, that
one mes so51ant and the other come
in. At ,Ns 'i4s,soas Barghead, in
Scotland, the evening is celebrated
by burning of the "Clavie."
In the island Of Guernsey it used
to be the practice of children, to
dress up the figure of a man, parade
with it, and then bury it by the
seashore, or in some retired spot.
The English dissenters had mid
night service, and gave welcome to
the New Year with prayer and songs
of praise.
Charles Lamb says of New Year s
day, that no one of whatever rank
can regard it with Indifference. He
says:
"Of all sounds of all bells, most
solemn aad touching, is the peal
which rings out the old year. I
never hear it without gathering
up Of my mind to a concentration
of all the images that have been
diffused over the past twelve
months; all 1 have done or suffered,
performed or neglected in that
regretted time, l begin to know its
worth, as when person dies. 1t
takes personal color; nor was it a
poetical fight in a contemporary
when he exclaimed:
81 saw the skirts of the departing year. :"
We will quote two Of the exquisite
lines upon the beautiful custom Of
RINGING OUT THE OLD YEAR.
L" Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring happy bells across the snow;
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true"

OF the State which is too strong to
be frightened; too pure to be mis-
led, and which alike condemns the
Yankee Packard for his meanness
and the Southron Carter for his
treachery, and which will soon con-

and obscurity, from which they rose
by strange freak of fortune and
to which they will be returned, by
a solemn fat of Justice.

SIR WALTER SCOTT'S LAST TEARS

Even now, when he has been so
long at rest, and new generation
has arisen, and new flames fill the
world, it is impossible to think oi
the tragedy of SCOTS declining
years without poignant and per-
sonal sorrow as over the fate of a
dear friend. Suddenly the misfor-
tune came-the enormous losses
and debts-and he put the great
heart and the great shoulders to
the tremendous struggle. The
benefcient genius that had SO long
gayly played only to delight the
fascinated world was in moment
wrestling desperately with death for
honor and existence. He owed
nearly six hundred thousand dol
lars; and of this vast sum, by stren-
uous and relentless toll, breaking
his heart and consuming his brain,
he paid within four years consider
ably more than half. Alas he paid
with his life and with his mind.
The cloud fell thicker and more
heavily. His wife died; everything
failed but his own heroism, and the
love and pity of mankind. There
are glimpses in the memoirs of that
time-ghmpses inexpressibly sad
of the dying man in Italy, at Naples,
upon the Campagna. 1t is only
the shadow of the stalwart Scott.
He sits for hours gazing upon the
sea; he moves restlessly about, he
repeats, in tone so mournful that
the heart breaks to hear, snatches
Of the old, old ballads that his youth
loved, and which are dear to all
men who speak his language be-
cause he loved them. Then he
comes home to die. Gentle as
child, he was unspoiled by the fiat
terry Of world. Through the mists
of fast fading mind looks out that
true and tender manhood which is
forever memorable. "Be a good
man, my dear" he whispers, to his
son-in-law, Lockhart, and on a soft
September afternoon, thirty-nine
years ago, with all the windows
wide open, and the gentle ripple of
the Tweed murmuring upon the
air, while his children knelt around
the bed, Walter Scott died, sand
his eldest son kissed and closed his
eyes"
In his case that prayer which we
quoted Of one of his successors was
fulfilled - "May love and truth
guide such a man always" For Of
any man who ever held so large
place in the heart of his contempo-
raries and their children, and who
had SO great a power, could it be
more truly said then of Sir Walter
Scott, that he was guided always by
love and TRUTH "-Harper's Maga-
zine.

CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL AT THE FIRST BAPTIST
SUNDAY SCuoOL.--Ihc infant class of the
First Baptist Church sunday school has re-
Gently had new room built and furnished
for their accommodation. At y p. VI. it was
filled with children and Interested spectators.
About twenty minutes were spent in delight
ful singing, repeating OF poetry, and rc5pon-
siye recitation of Scripttliul verses. Notwitll-
standing the ca@Cincss Of the children to see
what was III store for them, it wis wonderful
to witness what perfect control their teacher
had over them. In gentle tones she directed
everything, and grateful affection rendered Il
promnt obedience to the slightest intiInntion
of desire.
Children and spectators were then invited
into the basement Of the church, where Il
spectacle greeted them that seemed the crea-
ton of wizards wand. In front of the
pulpit was Il large holly, on either side Of
which were two large arches, and the whole
brilliantly illuminated with candles of va
riolls coloIS. From the arches and the
branches of the tree were suspended beautl-
fully dressed dolls, and cornucopias, and Va
liollS articles adapted to the tastes and wishes
Of the girls and boys. All the caterers for
Christmas wants seem to have been laid
under contribution to supply the infant class.
Of two hundred there collected, every one
received some appropriate gift. The ccre-
nony Of distribution was performed IN such
a manner Us to reflect the highest credit on
those Immediately concerned. The brilliant
scene was concluded BY furnishings package
of ''good things" to number OF '.Dorcas
children"
Presto change! The lights were extln-
guishcd, and upon canvas appeared in rapid
L. -,
which kept tie crowd in mute admiration or
uproarols applause. When we say that DR..
Lewis, the accomplished professor in the Fe-
male Institute, superintended this eXhibi-
ton no word of commendation need be
added. While the infant class owes to their
beloved teacher, Mrs. j. L. N. Curry, debt
of gratitude for her thoughtful kindness,
they are also indebted to DR.. Lewis for fur
lishing, at her request, such pleasant and
profitable conclusion TO the charming eNer-
cises.

Mr.. Isaacs moved to amend the second sec
ton rs follows:
" Should the said company find it necessary
to extend their road on James river below the
point indicated in the first section Of this or.
dlnance, or to the York river, the said eXten.
sion shall commence from the eastern portal
OF the tunnel, or il the said extension shall
commence from any point west of the corpo.
rate limits and east of Gordonsville. the com.
pany shall refund to the city in kind or in
money the appropriation hereby made"
This amendment was opposed by Messrs.
Anderson, Davis, Wynne, and Manly, and
was finally withdrawn.
Mr. Whitlock moved to make the appro-
priation 100000 instead of SS00.O0o lie
said this was the amount originally asked, and
tlat So0O,G00 was more than the estimated
cost Of the tunnel.
Mr. Anderson explained that the original
estimate was for n singlc-track tunnel. They
now proposed to build one with a double
track, believing that their business will fully
justify it.
The amendment was rcjectcd-avcs, 4:
