The old year 80 died last night ...
Just at the moment the New Year bright
Tnpped through the portals of Time
So I greet you all with Happy New Year"
And hope that the coming months may be clear
From stains of corruption and crime.
May bright and cheerful be the sun
That shines o'er this new '81;
And may we in all things improve
As this New Year shall onward move;
May Labor with success be crowned,
And naught but happiness abound
May the New Year bring you peace and JOY
Is the wish Of the weary CARRIER Boy.
We We passed through year of excitement and cares
And you, my dear reader, are doubt aware
That our country was threatened with Brgadier Rule,
By Hampton, Jeff Davis, and more of that school,
Who defended the principles in this later day,
For which fought Lee and Jackson when they the gray
Though Hancock was gallant and brave, Give no dOubtl
. He should MT change cOors by turning about
And marching with Davis Bob Toombs and such chaps
Thus dsgracing his CALAMITY won shoulderstraps
So, with Garfield to lead u.s. we marched to the 'front.'
With the brave boys of'6I bearing the brunt,
And we dealt deathblow to our hstOry's blot
Those principles bad for which Johnny Reb fought

a Historic Game

Among the presents of historical inter
est that will be offered to the Crown Prince Ru-
dolph of Austria during his sojourn in Jerusalem
is walking-stick specially prepared for his ac
ceptance by the Catholic monks of Hebron. At a
short distance from the monastery stands vener-
able oak tree upon rising ground, by the Arabs
called Ramet ct Khalil, close to the ruins of the
Patriarch Abraham'S dwelling, and in the immc-
diate neighborhood of small oak wood, probably
the locality frequently referred to in Scripture
under the designation of Mamreh. The belief OBJ
tains in Hebron that Abraham, when the three
angels appeared to him, was seated under the
shade of this tree, the trunk of which measures
twenty two feet i'll circumference, while several of
its huge branches from forty-tive to fifty feet
long. The walking stick destined gift TO the
youthful Archduke has been cut from one of these
branches and fashioned to a convenient shape
but leit unpublished. His Imperial Highness, who
has been religiously brought up from his child
hood, and is of highly pious disposition, will
doubtless set great value on well authenticated
a relic of those ancient times, the events of which
are chronclGd in the Old decentralization

Cir. Printers at Night.

who had been employed in day work on the Re
publican together with several other young lady
compositors, volunteered 10 try night work and
determine whether it was practicable for them.
Nine girls made the attempt. Up to this morning
the girls have worked four nights and are fresh
and bright as daisies declaring that they liked
the work better than day work. One of the girls,
who is one of the fastest cOmpOsitors in this or
any other city, averaged over 1900 per night
and on one night "rolled up" the Incompatible
"strng" of 1879 ems, earning nearly 81. Four
other girls averaged over 1900 ems per night, and
one d" got up" 1900 last Monday night Not one
girl in the nine bur averaged over 1000 per night,

A SONG FOR THE GIRL LOVE.

song for the girl love
God love her!
A song for the eyes of tender shine,
And the fragrant mouth that melts on mine
The shimmering tresSes uncontrolled
That clasp her neck with tendril gold:
The blossom mouth and the dainty chin
And the little dimples out and in
The girl love
God love heri
a song for the girl L loved
God love heri
song for the eyes of faded light
And the cheek whose red rose waned to white;
The quiet brow, with IFS shadow and gieam,
And the dark hair dropped in a long. deep dream
The small hands crossed for their churchyard rest
And the lilies dead on her sweet dead breast.
The girl loved
God love her!

Babies 5Is Bags.

All the old nurses in town are laughing
at a certain new mother because she ties down her
baby slong clothes when she sends him out on the
street on g cold windy day; but the idea is as
sensible as il is original. The long clothes OF a
young baby, matter how carefully it is handled,
have tendency "Eawl up TO the little chin, or
get into bunch .:ss!er the little arms, causing
much discomfort and leaving the tender little feet
bare and cold. Now a string or a pretty ribbon,
that can always be hid by cloak, tied around the
long skirts just below the little feet prevents the
baby from getting into a bungling bundle, keeps
the dainty skirts smooth and gracefully arranged
and the little one from taking cold. Why not put
the baby i'll bag at once and be done with it q?
Well, why not? We are sure that the helpless lit
tie creatures would feel far more comfortable tied
up III bags than til ey do now done up in the aWk
ward bundles known as baby clothes" The
"bags" should be roomy, of course, with a draw
string at the top and another at the bottom
No embroidery, no rufles, and 10 sleeves?
Yes, just as much embroidery, and just
as many rufes as you please, but no sleeves, unless
the bag is made to open behind The fashion of
dislocating a baby's shoulder by bending back the
little arm, to force it into the sleeve of garment
made TO open in front is both useless and cruel.
No wonder the little things scream and kick when
tn ey are being dressed. Talk about Dress Re-
form Association for womenI 1t is reform in baby
clothes that is most needed, and if fashionable
mother could be found brave enough to tie up her
baby in dainty bags during the winter months, all
the other mothers in the land would rise up and
call her silly goose. But they would follow the
fashion! There would be another advantage in
dressing babies in bags, which wise mammas
would not be slow to discover-nuTsing would be
made easy for papa. Men do make so many ex-
cuses when they arc asked t5"hold baby min
ute;" but the most prevalent excuse of all, "Oh,
I'll get his clothes all mussed up" would be out of
order if they could carry the baby in bag. The
baby could not "get out of it," neither could
papa.-Ne1V Orleans PicayuRe
