The Tournal--Tew Volumes.

With the new year the Daily
Journal begins its Twenty~fourth
Annual Volume and the Weekly
Journal begins its Thirty,frst An
nual Volume.
The year just ended has been one
of trial and trouble, not unrelieved,
however, by joy and g}adness. The
panic has brought embarrassment
and anxiety to every business, and
newspapers have not been exempt
from the common lot, but this, so
far as it was possible, was offset by
the Joys Of our abundant POLITICAL
victories.
It is but natural at the elise Of a
year to take q retrospective glance,
and fortunate it is whea such retro1
spcct brings not shame nor regret.

performed to the best of ones abii-

fcation it feels as it takes q brief
glance at the record Of political
events in the year 1874. The tive
events of last year that stand cut
most prominently are the campaign
in the summer and the discus
sion of the Convention question
during the faI. aud winter.
The summer campaign was 10
child'8 play. In the judicial Dis
= trict We started with nomina! mas
io,ity Of five hundred and f3rty~
two votes. But Judge Russell re-
cciyed eight hundred and twenty
eight votes more than the last Ra J.
zeal party vote near three hundred
votes more than the Democratic
majority at tie last election ant
W uld have therefore been elected
but for the fact that Judge MIX y
received eleven hundred aud twenty

The farmers FIREsIDE.

The FARMERS FIREsIDE.
Around the fire, one wintry night,
The farmers rosy children sat
The fagot lent its blazing light,
And mirth went round, and harmless chat.
When, bark a gentle hand they hear
Low tapping at the bolted door,
And thus to gain their willing ear,
A feeble voice was heard implore:
''CoId blows the blast across the moor,
The sleet drives Kissing in the wind:
Yon toilsome mountain lies before,
A dreary treeless waste behind.
EMy eyes are dim and weak with age
No road, no path can [ descry;
And these poor rags i'll stand the rage
Of such keen inclement Sky.
g So faint am, these tottering feet
No more my palsied frame can bear;
My freezing heart forgets to beat,
And drifting SHOWS my tomb prepare.
"Open your hospitable door,
And shield me from the biting blast;
Cold, cold it blows across the moor,
The weary moor that l have passed.
With hasty steps the farmer ran,
| And close beside the fire they place
The poor half-frozen heggar- man,
With shaking limbs and pale-blue face
The little children fiocking came,
And chatfed his frozen hands in theirs
And busily the good old dame
\ comfortable mess prepares.
Their kindness cheerel his dropping soul,
And slowly down his wrinkled cheek
The big round tear was seen to roll,
And told the thanks he could not speak
The children then began to sigh,
And all their merry Chat was DER;
And yet they felt, they know not why,
More glad than they had done before.
