New Year Reflections.

The opening Of n New Year admonishes US in
= silent yet emphatic hngaage lhnt We arc Gid
ing swiftly along The journey OF life. In look
ing back on the road already travelled, we find
that orr way thus far has not been altogether
smooth; it has been thickly set with branbles
and thorns, whose ponis have sorely lacera-
Ted us when we would force passage through
them without regard 10 proper paths. Count
less flowers and beauties have also been thick
j. strown along our path, and We have found
NOISY banks at the foot Of many old oaks,
where we have sat down with friends and
been happy.
We have learned llmt1sae life is 10 the little
acts, the good intentions, and the purity Of
our motives heath is in the memory we
le9Se behind us for others
= We have found that few Of our hopes are
ever realized, and, that it is in fancy that we
revel in love, and find happiness in places here
and there There have been times y hen storms
of passion have swept over the soul, dark
shadows driven BY fierce blasts, old memories
dragging their slow lengths along, 10 keep
pace Win us 10 Inc grave.
We shall soon reach that goal. In little
while the gates Of death will open before us as
they have year by year for others Sudden
turn or gentle winding viii reveal our home
There we will lie down as others have done
before us, on the right or left OF them, as our
Surviving friends mag choose
The sun VIII laugh, the stars will smile, the
zcphyrs play among the boughs the leaves
will dance over our graves, the rain patter
upon our earthly roof as if in mockery and
weeds, or flowers, spring into life, and per-
iume, as VIC shall take seeds with US into the
grave. And those who now laugh with US
will laugh without US. A few tears will be
shed, aud the fountains Of grief will there be
dried up. The sun, moon and stars will shine
as usual; the morn the noon, ard the night,
will come.
TIE books and things we now love will then
lie thrown aside; The hopes We bad in carly
life will fade like shadows, the loves of ripper
years will Ge comloried after we are gone; the
,hngs we now cherish as cur own will be
anothcr's
The cloud ofgrirf may bring storm, or
wear a tempest; but storms and tempests will
pass away, and the places of earth that now
know us will know Us only through our good
OF evil deeds, and the name we leave behind
us.-' The world VIII exist long after we are
gone. The road viii be travelled long after
our footprints arc forgotten.

have scarcely ever been known before; strange

world; ard other events, of strange and
startling nature, have rendered the year eigh-

This an indication Of the end Of the world
The fact is however unfortunately, that many
snch years, filled with record Of bloodshed,
misery and crime, have gone before into tie

whether during the lifetime Of the present
generation stranger or more eventual year

when Mr.. Ball should attain the age Of 100

MEXICAN AFFAIRS.

President Juarez is displaying an unex-
pected capacity and strength in dealing
with the rebellion that lately threatened
to dispossess him of the government Of
Mexico. Not only has he managed to
maintain successful army under General
Rocha in the North, but he has also sent
considerable forces into the Western
States that were disposed to become insur-
rectionary, into Yucatan and Oaxaca, that
had already been infected with the spirit
of rebellion, but he has had respectable
detachment to spare for the Rio Grande.
Eight hundred men of different arms have
been sent to Matamoras by sea, quite to
the discontinue of Trevino and Quiroga,
who thought to capture that point at all
events. Such strength as this displays
and such vigor, too, are quite new to Mex
leo, and they give assurance that there is
greater degree Of permanence and Vi
tally in the old Indian than his friends
in the United States credited him with.
However, large portion of this strength
must be credited to Lerdo de Tejada, the
late rival of Juarez for the Presidency,
who was disafected at first, but who SUBJ
sequently submitted to his former chief
in order to prevent the country, which he
has greatly assisted to disembarrass Of its
dependence upon the military and the
priesthood, from falling again under the
influence of the soldiers and the Church.
The revolution that at one time threatened
to overthrow Juarez gave signs of being
reactionary in its tendency, and -Lerdo,
who had favored its beginning, at once
withdrew his countenance from the move
ment, and again affiliated with Juarez
The United States can but sympathise with
the triumph of the present liberal admin
istration of affairs in Mexico, for our cause
of quarrel with the Mexicans has nothing
to do with the reactionary party in that
country.

THE OLD QUARREL.

Germany is not well satisfied with the
aspect of affairs in France. Prince Bis
marck has informed President Theirs that
the military preparations of the French are
not such as indicate peaceable intentions.
He does not understand the reason for an
army of sixteen hundred thousand men,
backed by five hundred pieces of superior
artillery. This looks like war, and as Ger
many has cause to apprehend that this i'm
mense armament is designed for use against
her, Bismarck suggests that an explanation
had better be given, or he will be forced
to take such action as may make Germany
safe from sudden assault. To this end
be has fastened to reinforce Metz, strength.
en- Strasbourg, and put the frontier in a
position to be defended. And now he
waits the answer of the French President
as to what France means by her great
armament in time of profound peace? The
signs indicate trouble.
