EVERY YEAR.

The spring has less of brightness
Every year,
And the snow ghastlier whiteness
Every year;
Nor do summer flowers quicken,
Nor autumn fruitage thicken,
As they once did, for we sicken,
Every year.
1t is growing darker, colder,
Every year;
AS the heart and soul grow older,
Every year;
| care not now for dancing,
Or for eyes with passion glancing,
Love is less and less enhancing,
Every year.
Of the loves and sorrows blended
Every year;
Of the charms of friendship ended
Every year;
OF the ties that still might bind me,
Until Time to Death resigned me,
My intrmities remind me,
Every year.
All. how sad to look before us
Every year;
While the cloud grows darker DER us,
Every year;
When we see the blossoms faded,
That to bloom we might have aided,
And immortal garlands braided,
Every year
To the past go more dead faces,
Every year;
As the loved leave vacant places
Every year;
Everywhere the sad eyes meet us,
In the evenings dusk they greet us,
And to come to them entreat us,
Every year.
"You are growing old, they tell us,
Every year;
''N on are more alone, they tell -ds,
Every year;
'N on can win no new affection,
"Iou have only recollection,
deeper sorrow and detection,
Every year.
Yesl the shores of life are shifting
Every year;
And we are seaward drifting
Every year;
Old places, changing, fret us,
The living more f,urget rs,
There are fewer to regret us,
Every year.
But the truer life draws higher
Every year;
And its Morning star climbs higher
Every year:
Earth's hold on us grows slighter,
And the heavy burden lighter,
And the Dawn Immortal brighter
Every year.

Face to Face with the Great Crime.

The refusal of Judge WHITAKER to grant
a new trial to Gen. ANDERSON brings Mr..
HAYES and his fellow conspirators face to
face with their great crime. and one step
nearer it, final catastrophe.

like that Of ANDERSON, convicted Of forgery.
This is the Interpretation which the parties
implicated in the crimes of the Returning
Board insist shall be put upon it. They are
driven To this as the only means II safety TO
themselves. In support of this utcrprcta-

STATEN ISLANDS SENSATION.

For about week past no little excitement has pre-
vailed IN political circles Staten Island owing to
an attempt to depose certain Supervisor from his
seat and appoint in his stead For some
time past Captain William Cory Supervisor from
the town of Southfeld and chairman of the Board
has been unable to attend to his duties through
sickness. Three Justices of the Peace of the town
of Southfeld-Messrs. Kane, Doyle and Flanagan
signed a paper in which they stated that they were
satisfied that the present incumbent was unable to
act supervisor, and that they had appointed
Samuel X. Brick to fill the vacancy thus created.
From the evidence obtained upon investigation it
appears that Judges Doyle and Kane first signed the
paper and then, about nine o'clock evening, it
presented to Judge Flanagan to sign. He signed
II under the impression that 1t merely call for
town meeting, it having been, alleged, so repre-
sented to him. Soon after signing it he dis
covered that it was in reality the appointment
OF Mr.. Brick to which he had placed his signature.
and he Immediately endeavored to his name.
When about to draw line through his signature the
paper snatched away and lie never afterward was
able gain possession of it. He then entered pro-
induced to sign the appointment through misrepre-
sentation.
Although the investigating committee are still in
the Board OF Supervisors meeting at the residence OF
Captain Cory. That gentleman answered for South
field and in order to show that he working with
the Board he placed upon several important
committees All the parties in the demo-
