NEW YEARs BELLS.

RING, bells, ring with youf mellow din,
Ring the old year out ard the new year inl
Like the voices of birda from the old gray spire,
Let your silvery music rise higher and higher;
Floating abroad DER the hillside bare
in hillows of sound on the tremulous air,
Let II rise and fall with the htful gale;
Tell over city and wood the tale;
Say that tonight the old year diesi
BID the watchers look to the eastern skies
For the beautiful halo that tells afar
OF the welcome rise Of the new years star
Ring the old year out with ts sighs and tears,
Ite whitening heart-achcs and tirosOme fears
Away With Its memories of doubt and wrong,
Its cold deceits and It's enyying strong,
All ite pandering lures TO the fatcring sense
All its pitlful shams and cold pretense.
We will heap them together and bind them fast
TO the old mans load as he totters past.
The ills that he brought he may tase again;
Keep we the ioye let him bury the pain
Ring soft, o bells, as he goes to rest
Far IN the shades Of the darkening westl
Ring, bells, ring, with a merry dim
The old year has gone with its care and sinl
Smiling and fair, a. the eastern gates,
Clad In tinted light, the new year waitsl
Welcome him in With the rosy band,
Who wait the wave of his beckoning hand:
Hope, with her wreaths of sweet spring flowers
JOY for the summers glowing hours,
Plenty and peace for the fruitful fall,
And love for all seasOns-hest of all.
Ring merrily, bells DER the blushing skies
See the beautiful star Of the new year rise

THE clearinghouse of Greene e. Gran
ston, Providen r. l., suspended on the
18th, owing, it is said, to the failure ofthe
Providence Tool Company. Their assets
were stated at $500, 900; liabilities, $675,-
000 The Tool Company claimed that
their embarrassments were only tenn
porary, as their assets largely exceeded
their liabilities,
AT the regular business meeting o
Plymouth Church, of Brooklyn, on the
evening of the 18th Deacon Vests letter
was placed on file-not on the minutes.
In Mrs. Moulton's case letter missive
was proposed for an advisory council of
churches to be held Jan. IL, and to deter
mine certain questions of rule and disci-
pline. Motion being made for its adop-
tion, Mr.. Shearman moved aslight amend
ment, and Mr.. Beecher asked If that
would not open up the whole investiga-
tion of 1874, and was answered that IL
would. He then said he was for it, and
the motion was carried. At the conclu-
sion of some subsequent remarks Mr..
Beecher said " If such an advisory coun.
Gil should say another investigation is
necessary, would say, Do it. Do It,
If they should say not, certainly should
not object" Mr.. Shearman resigned the
Office of Clerk of the church organization,
and Mr.. Thomas j. TilDey was chosen to
succeed him.
IT is stated that John G.. Whittier will
probably be selected as the Centennial
poet at the celebration in Philadelphia,
Longfellow having declined.
THE United States Express car on the

by two or three masked men, who threw
the messenger, Charles Kincaid, into a
large packing box which they had emptied
for the purpose, and then robbed the safe
of between $4,000 and 100000 in money
and valuables.
