OUR NEW YORK LETTER.

This Is holiday week not only by the
calendar. but by q thousand other and
equally convincing tokens. The world
Is erveloped in different atmosphere,
for these few closing days of year, from
that which ordinaril.- encompassed it;
and wonderful atmosphere it is. 1t
may be cold, or wet, or bright, or dark,
but it is still quivering with the pulsa-
tions Of the wings of that multitude of
the heavenly hos" and with the echoes
Of their first and matchless Christmas
song. Frosty as it is, what strange
and penetrating vitality is in it. 1t
throws great, glorious Christmas trees
into more than summer bloom. Its jov..
ial blasts force open the doors Of church,
homes, and hearts. It may freeze water
bct it thaws the blood. More won-
derfu, than oil, it can work itself down
into the h.cst tightly-buttoned pockets,
and heat the coin 50 hot that IL burns its
way out. It Is the very reverse Of the
Ill wind that blows nobody good; for it
bears up Santa Claus-that jolly old al

and food on to the hovel's doorstep, cost

That holiday asked for ourselves and

That holiday asked for ourselves and
printers is over, and we presume our
readers have fancied us in the eEjoy-
ment of its leisure hours and storing
up strength and vigor for the time to
come, but, like most anticipated pleas
ure, the reality was rot like our dream.
Some accumulations Of work were first
disposed Of and then came q general
clearing up time. After that certain
changes were suggested, adding room,
light and convenience. Partitions were
removed and q general reorganization
had, and, though we have nothing now
in the way of elegance, the Office has
been very much improved and the ia
cilities for doing our work increased.
Altogether 1t has been one of the
busiest and most laborieus weeks of
the year. Our holiday has brought its
advantages, however, and We are under
obligations for the time that gave us
opportunity for Improvement if not
for rest.

A Happy New Year.

On account of failure to publish pa
per last week We are little late with
our new years greeting, but it Is none
the less hearty and genuine. We not
only wish our readers a happy and
prosperous year but we believe maj
ority will find 1t marked improvement
over the last and former years.
With resumption of specie an accom-
plished fact, we may feel assured that
we have seen the worst of our financial
embarrassments and that henceforth
there will be slow but sure progress
toward prosperity. For many 1t has
been hard struggle but we can easily
see how it might have been worse. We
have many things for which to be
thankful and to make US hopeful. We
have not been visited by diseases Of an
epidemic or contagious character and
the health of our people has been un-
paralleled. If business has not been
remunerative we have at least been
spared from failures and bankruptcies
and, with confidence restored and hab-
its of economy learned, We look for
ward to a safe and fairly prosperous
year.
And then, as we begin the new year,
we shall all turn over the customary
''new leaf" and with added experience
and wisdom, we may expect to improve
upon the past. That we discover fail
ura IN roo1izo our ideal peed not he n
matter Of discouraRement. We have
done something, perhaps; as much as
could have been expected when the un-
foreseen obstacles are taken into ac-
count. And now, treasurlng up our
added knowledge, let US 20 forward to
the work of the future ccurageously,
prepared for the worst, but hoping for
better things than ever we haye yet
enjoyed.

We are again under obligations to
Hon. Jas. Monroe for Department Re
ports. In a speech on the disposition of
the Geneva Award Fund he held, and
sensibly too, we think, that our govern
ment is not bound by the same rules
which bound that tribunal; that we
should remunerate our citizens who in
any way suffered by the depredations Of
rebel cruisers which by the neglect of
England were allowed to prey upon our
merchantmen and that we should also
remunerate them for the additional
premium paid by our ship-owners on
account Of the increased hazard caused
by England's neglect. If this view is
correct and acted upon there is little
danger Of anything remaining of the
Geneva Award to be returned to Eng
land as conscience money.

Symptoms Of a DiseasedLiver

DAIN in the right side, under the
L edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss of men,
ory, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains Of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DIR. c. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. Nosbetter
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious arrangements, and as
simple purgative, they are unequaled.
BEWARE OF INVITATIONS.
