MEAD's STATUE OF L.NcoLN--No finer

Tory both in general effect aad in every detail.
Inc great president stands In an easy posture,
graspng IN his left hand, little extended, the
scroll OF emancipation, and in his right, resting
on iascicle representing the indissoluble un-
ION OF the states and draped with the national
flag he holds pen. The artist has wisely
chosen this consummating act, the
signing Of the celebrated emancipation
proclamation, to embody his ideal of the la-
inehteu patriot. The statue is of heroic size,
ABOUT ~ feet high, and while little idealized
as 10 the breadth of form, considering the lean
ness OF lhe president, when the nation knew
MN oest, and when he bore on his shoulders
the weight of cares that belonged to our terri

Just proportions oflis frame. The natural awk- /
waruness and lankness are just suggested, and |
tie combination of all his prominent personal /

THk NEW LEAF.-About New Years time
we hear some persons say they are golng To "turn
over new leaf" Subsequent observation in
some instance, suggested tha thought that the
old one must have been sadly marIed; for the
''ne,o lear itself needs the covering of another
of fairer character.
A Washington special to the New ork Times
says that Secretary BOUTWELL, wrote a letter to
the President, on the Sd inst, Offering his resig

quest of the President, the resignation has been
.'verbally modified" so as to take effect, "wit-

THE FOOTSTEPS OF DECAY,

TRANSLATED FROM THE srANfsH, ny A. N. n
o let the soul its slumbeis break,
Arouse its senses, and awake
To see how soon
Life in its glories glide away,
And the stern footsteps of decay
Come stealing on.
Aud While we view the rolling tide
Down which our flowing minutes glide
Away so fast,
Let us the present hour employ,
And deem each future dream Joy
Already past.
Let no vain hope deceive the mind:
No happier let us hope to fud
Tomorrow than to-day.
Our golden dreams Of yore were bright,
Like them the present shall delight,
Like them decay.
Our lives like fastening streams must be
That into one enguling sea
Are doomed to fall
The sea of death, whose waves roll on
Ger king, and kingdom, crown and throne,
And swallows all.
Alike the rivers lordly tide,
Alike the humble rivulets glide
To that sad wave;
Death leavels poverty and pride,
And rich and poor sleep side by side
Within the grave.
Our birth is but the starting place:
Life is the running of the race,
And death the goal
There all our glittering toys are brought;
That path alone of all unsolight
Is found of all.
See, then, how poor and little worth
Are all those glittering toys of earth
That lure us here;
Dream of sleep that death must break.
Alas before 1t bids us wake
We disappear.
Long ere the damp of earth can blight
The cheeks pure glow Of red and white
Has passed away;
Youth smiled, aud all was heavenly fair;
Age came and laid his finger there,
And where are they?
Where is the strength that spurned decay,
The step that moved so blithe and gay,
The hearts blithe tone?
The strength is gone, the step Is slow,
And joy grows wearisome, and woe
When age comes on.
