The glowing hath faded into sombre night,
And the shine dimy in the heavenly sphere;
As veei In heecy clouds, no longer snowy bright,
They watch in solemn silence the departing year
The hours in dark and trailing vesttres glide
From the palace of old hoary hpnded Time;
And leave their foot prints along the ehhing tide.
Which rolls n shore in the lreary winters CLINE.
Onward they march to the portals of the past,
In procession long, with measured tread and slow;
The Old Year Il with them and trembling falling fast,
With Death at his side and his arrow in his bow.
IN the endless vista down the silent vale,
The Old Year gaze moment through the opened door:
His locks gray with age-hs face was nshy pale;
His heart beating slowly 1t ceused forever
he stepped upon the portal, there solemn tone
From the yard bell alown the darkened shore
And at the midnight hour, the Old Year gave groan
Death shot his when they entered in the door.

As he fixed his vision toward the starlight to the last
Then silently moved to the dim, eternal sphere;

An Awful Frog Story.

A man named Southworth. living in
Warren, Pa, has just erected from his
stomach a frog. which has been living
there for fifteen years. Mr.. Southwoith
has had great deal of trouble with that
frog. II used TO begin to croak al the
most unreasonable hours. When South
worth would go To church, for instance,
the frog would remain silent until the
congregation engaged in silent prayer,
and then il would set up terrific yowl,
that the sexton would rush in and collar
Southworth, and drag him out TO quiet
the frog would give nocturnal sereDade
after SOufhworth was fast asleep in bed,
and then Southworth would rise, as mao
as anything, seize a stomach pump and
try 10 draw the frog up. But the subtle
reptile had had the trick played on IL too
often during those fifteen years, and il
always Skinned up the tube piece, out
of the draught, and waited until South
worth exhausted himself. Southworth
never fooled that frog a great deal. And
when frogs were in season, Southworih
used TO fish for this one with fly; but il
always refused to rise. and the fly buzzed
around SO i'm Southworth's alimentary
canal that il nearly tickled Southwortb To
death. 50 SOu!hworth had to wait till
the other day, when the frog thought il
would come up and go and see a friend
and when it did come SouthwOrth killed
i. with fork. He says that frog used to
eat twice as much as he did; bat we have
been thinking il over, and IL seems to us
the statement must be exaggerated some
how

BIZ COsN0 URANIA.


Nessrs. Editors.-Since writing to
you last, many stirring events have trans
pired In our little village and surrounding
community. Among these shall notice
one or two of the most prominent
know you are aware OF the fact, that
our village, (and the country for several
miles around) has been infested with q
certain number of PERSONS whose distin-
guished characteristics are in nowise
Trustworthy. For several years past
these said persons, tindet the iuAnence
and direction of notorious scamp, who
passes under the several names Of Mob
lar, Melor, Malar. &C.. have been actively
engaged in appropristing to their own
use sundry articles of property, for which
they had failed to acknowledge the re.
ceipt to the proper owners thereof.
Time and again, said articles mysterious.
" disappeared-hogs, sheep, cattle. poul-
try, merchandise, &C., had Jeff for parts
unknown. All efforts to gain a clue to
the parties engaged in the work of find
ing things that were not lost" proved q
sad failure. And thus the work went
bravely on; and those who had suffered
the loss of their property had almost
given up in despair. ''But-murder will
out"-and sinners will be found out in
their sins; and so it came to pass in this
instance.
A few weeks ago some of the citizens
of Tyner, In connection with some from
the country, maiured, and put into opera
ton an underground telegraph so con-
structed that it acted as self-reporter.
And in less than ten days from the con-
ception of the idea, the inventors were
favored with the startling report, that, in
and around the suberbs of Tyner City,
could be found various articles of mer-
chandise which through some unknown
agency had been placed there for safe
keeping. Some OF these articles were
reported as being deposited under ground
some under hay stacks, and some else
where
On receiving this information, n search
was made, and the fidelity OF the machine
verified. Calico, muslin, tobacco, soap,
salaratus, and various other articles were
brought out from their hiding places; and
will presume be presented to the gaze
of your citizens, during the next term of
your county court. Further this depon-
ent saith not" for a little season.
During the past week. our citizens
men, women and children, have been en-
joying themselves hugely. The gingle OF
sleigh bells-the merry laugh and the
happy shouts and loud huzzas of the
joyous pleasure seekers, told us that good
natured old soul, Santa Claus. had not
sparingly Infused into the minds Of our
people, in his annual visit, the spirit OF
fun and frolic. So passed away the last
week of the Old Year. And now, while
pcnning this line, the hands upon the
dial plate Of my watch tell me to say
fdreWeH TO the last parting moment OF
the Old Year. One Minute past twelve
Hail, all hail the opening year! May He
who ordained the seasons, and crowns
each rolling year with plenty, give us all
a year of health, happiness and pros
perity. And now, Messrs. Editors, l
retire TO rest, wishing you Happy New
Year More anon
