A Happy New Year to All. "

With this number the HERALD
closes its first year, and its success
has exceeded the most sanguine ex-
pectations OF its friends. But, like
the greater part of humanity, we are
not satisfied to remain stationary,
when progress is the worlds watch
word. We believe in the fruits of
earnest efforts, and are determined
on improvement for the new year.
We have the assuran ces of the Asso-
citation that no pains will be spared
to make the Local Department more
attractive, and every means used to
make the paper welcome visitor at
every fireside in the county. With
thanks to our friends and patrons for
past favors, we ask a continuance of
their aid, and at the same time assure
them that we intend to make the
HERALD more worthy of their appro-
baton in the future.

The First Mans House.
BY REV. II. PAINTlN.

What beautiful place! A garden
Paradise No sin had married its
beauties; no blood had stained its
soil no graves startled its inhabit-
ants; no thistle, no thorn, to give
pain. Shadows never fell upon his
brow; no clouds of sadness ever
passed across his sky. No poisonous
breath swept through this home. The
t0ar-drop was not seen upon the bend
ing willow; the lightning fash was
never forked with vengeance, nor the
thunderbolt armed with death; the
cedar tree was not split by the raging
storm! No burning mountains, nor
earthquakes shaking its lovely plains,
The curse had not blighted single
flower in this beautiful home.
Doubtless had man retained his al
legiance TO his rightful Lord the uni.
verse would have presented far diff
ferent aspect from what it now does,
The elements would not have been
armed against him, and the animal
creation would have been obcdient to
him as their lord. The winds would
have been as angel music, and the
thunders have formed creations con-
cert power! Nature might have fur
nishcd him with its many pages, and
all its elements have been his SER
wants.
Mans first home was indeed love-
ly spot, surprising the poets fancy
and tie painters art. We can think
of its beauty, but we cannot realize
it. We can talk about it, but we
cannot describe it. The likeness oil
God shone upon it and the finger
prints OF the Infinite were discern.
BILE upon every part of the first mans
home. His abode was the residence OIL
love, of purity and of rest.

The first morning hour in the House,
after the holidays, will be devoted to
the educational bill introduced by Mr..
George +. Hoar of Massachusetts.
This provides for the establishment of
an educational fund and the applica-
ton of the proceeds of the public
land to the education Of the people
Finding aparallel in the aid which the
nation has extended to agriculture by
the establishment of the Bureau oil
Agriculture, the bill proceeds upon
the assumption that it is fitting that
the nation should make similar enact
ments on behalf of education. 1t is
estimated, from official reports, that
the future net proceeds of public
lands will approximate two millions
of dollars annually. A distribution
of 100000 annually, on the basis
of illiteracy, would give Maine 49,

Old Year.


nj o. S. RICE.
Stay yet a little while, Old Year,
Haste not TO say, adieu;
sun let me feel that thou art near.
Old friend. so kind and true,
You wear a kind, familiar look.
Each line Is dear TO me:
And now, ere time shall seal thy book,
Iturn once more to thee,
And all that thou, Old Year, hast given.
All thou hast took tway,
The vanished joys-the hopes of heaven
The mcrcies day by day,
The pleasant things that give delight
The sin and sorrow, too
want to meet them all, tonight,
Alone with God and you.
So. wait little while. old year.
Haste not to say adicu,
Still let me feel that thou art near,
Old friend so kind and true.
And though the lonely heart doth tell,
OF many blessings fed,
Wen view the path we know so well,
We never more may tread.
Then once again upon my brow,
Let thy good night be prest,
And as of old be with me now,
And kindly guard my rest,
Till. in that silent. misty land.
Where earth's scenes fade from view,
loose the pressure of thy hand,
And thoughtless clasp the New.

. The United States District Attor'
ncy says that no further proceedings
will be taken in the case of the Virg-
inius. 1t is not likely she will ever
be raised, and it is deemed requisite
that the vessel should be produced
before she could be libelled. Govern
ment officers say that whatever may
have been the relation of Mr.. Patter-
son to the Virginus at the time of her
register, there is abundance of proof
that lie was not the owner at the time
of her capture.
