WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1854. NO. 622. I EVENING STAR. AIT ACT To Reorganise the Courts in the District of Columbia, and to Reform and Improve the Law* thereof. Whereas, since the retrocession of Alexandria county to the State of Vir ginia, it has become expedient to reduce the number of judges in the District of Columbia, and curtail the judicial ej- l peases thereof; and it is represented by citizens of said District that the courts thereof should be reorganized, and its laws reformed and improved: Therefore? Be it enacted, fyc.. That so much of the acts of Congress heretofore passed as create the circuit court, the district court, the orphans' court, and the criminal court of the said District, be, and th? sam? arc hereby, repealed, and all of said courts, and the offices of judges and other offi cers thereof be, and the same are here* I by, forever abolished. Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That there shall be a court, to be styled the 4i court of common ple?s of the District of Columbia," of which there shall be a single judge, which said court shall be I invested with all the jurisdictions and J powers posseted and cxercised by said circuit court of the District of Columbia in every respect, except as hereinafter! provided. And the said court shall hold I three ttrms a year, to wit: on the first Mondays of March, September, and pe-1 cember. All process for the institution I and conducting of suits in said court I shall be made returnable in the clerk's I office thereof on a rule day. The first I Monday in each month shall be a rule I day, except in those months upon the I first Mondays whereof the terms of said I court shall commence, is herein provided: I in which case the last Mondays of the I months respectively preceding those in I which the court shall commence its terms, I as aforesaid, shall be rule days. The I rules may be continued three days. There shall be a docket of the cases at I rules kept by the clerk of the said court, I wherein the rules shall be entered. I When there is no clerk t take the rules I in a case, it shall be continued until the I rule day next after there is a clerk. The I rules shall be to declare, to plead, reply, I rejoin, and for other proceediugs to pre I pare the causes for trial, and they shall I be given from month to month. Upon I the rule day to which process is returned J served, the plaintiff may tile his declara-1 tion, and give the defendant a rule to I plead If the defendant fail to appear I and plead at the next rules, judgment by I default shall be entered against him by I the clerk in the office. If the plaintiff! fail to file his declaration at the rule day I to which the process is returned execut-1 ed, as aforesaid, the defendant my give I him a rule to declare; and if the plain-1 tiff fail to file his declaration at the next I rule day, an office judgment of dismissal I of the cause, with costs, shall be entered I by the clerk in his office. Pleas in abate-1 ment, and special demurrers, shall be I filed at the first rule day after the rule I given to plead, and not afterwards. When I the pleauingti at the rules have progress-1 ed so far that the "similiter" alone re-1 mains to be added to make up the issue, I the same may be added by either party, I and the issue made up without a rule for I that purpose. All causes in which an office judgment I of any character has been entered, or in I which issues have been made up before I the clerk in bis office, as herein provided, I shall be by the cl?rk transferred to the I docket of the next succeeding term ef the I court, and shall stand for disposal by the I court. The court in its discretion, for good cause, may permit the dismissions to be set aside by filing declarations; and if not so set aside, they shall stand at the end of the term as absolute judgments of I dismissal, with costs. The office judgment entered in the I office in favor of a plaintiff may be set I aside by plea, or pleas in bar, by gener-1 al demurrer, the defendant having the I right to file as many several, distinct, I and sufficient pleas in bar, as he may I think proper, and the issues made up in I the office, as aforesaid, shall stand for trial. If the judgment obtained by aiy I plaintiff in the clerk's offiee, as aforesaid, I be not set aside by plea or demurrer I within the first fifteen days of the term of the court, if the term continue longer I than fifteen days, or before the end of the term, if the term should not exceed fif teen days, the same shall become abso lute. And if the said judgment be for a sum certain, execution may issue there upon for debt, interest, and costs; and if s;?id judgment be for an inquiry of dam ages, a jury may be empannelled during the term to make inquisition thereof; or the judge may assess the damages, as the plaintiff may elect, aud render judgment thereon, as in other cases. In ail cases of office judgment set aside by plea or demurrer, and of issues made up in the clerk's office, as aforesaid, the court may, in its discretion, for good cause shown, grant continuances, as here tofore practised. Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That there shall be established in the said Dis trict a court to be styled "the court of equity of the District of Columbia," of which there shall be a single judge; and said court, and the judge thereof shall possess and have all the powers and juris diction now held and exercised by the said circuit court, or the j-idges thereof, in equity, and also all the jurisdiction and powers now held and exercised by the orphans' court of said District, or the judge thereof; and the said court of equi ty shall be open on all judicial days for the dispatch of business, and all writs and process therein shall be returnable on the first Monday of each mouth, and the rules of equity practice prescribed by the Supreme Court ot the United States for the circuit courts of thd United States sitting in equity, shall be the rules of said court of equity, together with such other rules as may be adopted by 6aid ?>urt. it further enacted, That there shall be established in said District a court, to be styled the "criminal court of the District of Columbia," of which t here shall be a single judge, and it shall hold four terms a year, to wit: on the third Mondays of January, April, July, J and November; and said court, and the judge thereof, shall possess and exercise all the powers and jurisdiction of a crim inal nature now possessed and exercised by the said criminal court and district court, or by the judges thereof, hereby abolished. 5. -And be it further enacted, That the office of register of wills, as now ex isting in said District, shall be, and the same is hereby, abolished; and all the powers and duties thereof, as now per formed or ttf-ionging to said office of regis ter of wills, Shau be voafed in and per formed by the clerk of said couit of equity hereby established.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Union cautions the South against sym pathy with the Know Nothings, and takes ground against French diplomacy in Ilayti The Intelligencer says of the Metropolitan Railroad: "Oar readers will be pleased to Me that, nothing daunted by the hard times," nor by the apathy of capitalists and business men, the President and Directors of this Company have determined to put a portion of this im portant woTk under contract. This portion extends from the wetsern line of the District of Colombia (three and a half miles from Geo:getown) to the city of Frederick. The connexion with the Baltimore and Ohio Rail road once seoared, it will develop the import ance of the enterprise, paving a distance of forty-odd miles between Washington and the junction of the road near the Point of Recks, connecting Georg.town and Washington ?with the trade of arioU and beautiful agricul tural region. As the proposed work is unquestionably of national interest, and as Congress is the loca1 legislature for the District, can tv h. reasonable doubt of tbt propriety of an earl? a?d of the work From the -?*e Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to me western limit of the District is between six and seven miles, and the aid sought would perhaps be sufficient for the construction of that part of the road and of a substantial via duct over Rock Creek. Hot would we suggest this as a gratuity, or a corporator, but as an advance for the free transportation of the mails and all other public property over the road. We hope our public authorities are propared to press the subject upon the attention of Con gress. in a satisfactory manner, in tins for action at the present session. Pa\ Lp.?The agents for the Star complain that many of our subscribers fail to pay for their papers. This Is wrong. The charge is small, and should be paid regularly and promptly.

Prirtiro for the City Government or ew 1 ork.-?For the year ending September 1st, 1854, the advertising and printing fer the Corporation of New York cost the city $73.. 261. It is said that if a late contract for ad vertising goes into effect the city printing and advertising for 1855 will reach $125,000 Fire at Norfolk, Va ?On Wednesday evening, a fire broke out at Norfolk, in David Hitchinga Bro.'s boat manufactory, which communicated to the adjoining establishment, used by N.

A brother ot Hon. Henry Johnson, late Governor of Louisiana, fell overboard from the steamboat Magnolia, on the morning of the 6th inst., and waa drowned. It is stated that the Rev. Mr. Tiffany, of the Methodist Epiecopal Church, now a pro fessor in Carlisle College and President of the K. N State Council, of Pennsylvania, is to be supported by the K. N.'s of Pennsylvania Legislature as their candidate for the U. S Senate. ....In Fanny Fern a new novel, Ruth re ceives the following letter from her brother _ I have looked over the pieces you have sent me, Ruth. It is very evident that writ ing never can be your forte; you have no talent that way. You may possibly be em ployed by some of the interior newspapers, but, be assured your articles never will be heard of out of your own little provincial city. For myself I have plenty of contributors, nor do I know of any literary acquaintances who would employ you. I would advise you there fore, to seek some unobtrutive employLient. Your brother, Htacieth Ellet." The New York Mirror says that the above is no fiction?that it is a verbatim copy received by Fanny herself from her brother. ihe Rev. Stephen Massaok, a Hunga rian by birth, and for many years a priest of the Romish Church, was recently received into communion of the Epijcopal Church at St. Louis, Mo. The Duchess of Sutherland, of the Stowe furore, has lost a son in the Crimea He met with an accidental wound, which was fol Loard feVer' ?f Whi0h h? died on 8hiP" Mr. Burwell?"formerly of Virginia"? editor of the Baltimore Patriot, in an article as bitter as gall, call? upon the whigs of Vir ginia to make no nomination for Governor in opposition to Mr. Wue. lie says: "11 is therefore to be hoped, that the whies of irginia will be contented to leave the selec tion of acaadidate to the Reformers, and not embarrass the approaching conflict with several tickets, as in New Yotk. The whigs of Balti more adopted this course. They knew them selves to be in a minority. They were not, therefore, upon Republican principle, entitled to the offices of the city. They scorned topro fit by the divisions of their opponents. They united their vote upon an honest and unexoep tionable man, who had been a party demoorat. They have not been disappointed in the re sult." It now remains to be seen whether the whigs of Virginia, while they have the game in their own hands will loose it by taking the advice of an outsider. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. The Bill.?Having at length obtained a per fect copy of the District judiciary reform bill, as it passed the House, we publish, it to-day, on out first page. It is t? be hoped that it will be duly preserved by our subscribers, as it is quite probable that the corporate authori ties of Wa9hington and Georgetown will very soon cause polls to be opened to test the sense of the people of the District upon it once more. In a Bad Way.?The New York Herald ia of opinion^ that the opposition to the present Administration are in a fair way to go to? Tophet; inasmuch as they have permitted one third of the session to pass without concen trating their forces on some common platform, to make battle against their common foe. The English of this is, that the (Scotch) alien who conducts the Herald begins to realise that he cannot lead a majority of the House of Representatives of the United States by the nose to any point he may choose to take them, in the hope of using them to get revenge be cause his application for the post of American Minister to France was very properly regard ed as an insnlt. He begs and prays for a union of all the elements of opposition in Congress, to break down the Pierce Adminin istration. The truth is, he is foolish enough to have argued himself into the belief that all men are as entirely without moral principle as himself, who is one day for ft measure or policy, and unblushingly the other way of thinking on the morrow. And he is menda cious enough to believe that gentlemen in the Congress of the United States, who differ from each other as widely as the poles in their views on publio affairs, stand ready to be either all abolitionists or violent anti-aboli tionists, all protectionists or free-traders, all annexationists or anti-acquisitionists, all Know Nothings or all Whigs, as may be ne cessary to secure a majority vote against each passing measure in the success of which the Administration are credited with taking an interest. This unnaturalized soldier of for tune, in urging such a policy on those he re gards as enemies of the Administration, is evi dently measuring their corn in his own bush el?judging of their moral honesty by the standard erected in his own breast _____ The District Judiciary Beform Bill.?In the days of Shakspeare, "the law's delay" was deemed a good reason for committing suicide. The state of the law in the District of Colum bia is now pretty much what it was in the days of ShakBpeare. It is true that suicides are less frequent in this country than in Eng land; and Englishmen ascribe that to the fact that every man here expects to be President. But to most of us, who are virtually cutoff from this hope, as well as from many other things that would belong to us if war* ciiiZ?T,Sy that profound observJ^C'ii Joes not apply. 1. InTne report of 1830, (on law reform in this District,) to which we alluded in our last number, the committee U3e this language "So unfrequent are the terms of court, such its jurisdiction, practice, and course of pro ceeding, that it takes two yean and a half to collect an indisputable debt." This statement is as true now ?s it was then.! It is not necessary for us to go baok to the first ages of the common law, and to point out the primitive notion out of which has sprung that poisonous an* overshadowing excrescence, our Imparlance Term? which has no other effect than to protract litigation and to increase expense. Imparlances were abolished in Eng land in that golden era cf Law Reform, the year 1834; and since then the word is abso lutely unknown to the law of that country. In Maryland, too, the Imparlance Term has been aboli*h#d einoo the uoesiuu ol this District. (See act of Assembly of 1829, chap. 166.) Most of the States have dispensed with the Appear ance Term also, substituting rule days, re curring at short intervals, instead. The provisions of the bill just passed by the House of Representatives are ample and effectual upon this point. Scotion 2 enacts as follows "All process for the institution and conduct ing of suits in said Court (of Common Pleas) ahull be made returnable in the clerk's office thereof on a rule day The first Monday in each month shall bo a rule day, exeept in those months upon the first Mondays whereof the terms of said court shall commence, as herein provided; in which ca?e the last Mondays of the months respectively preceding those in which the court shall commence its terms as aforesaid, shall be rule days." It also provides that "if the defendant fail to appear and plead at the next rules, judg ment by default shall be entered against him by the clerk in theofiice;" and it does notper mit this office judgment to be set aside by any pleading which does not go to the merits, un less such pleading be filed at the first rule day after the rule to plead. 2. The bill makes the terms of courts more frequent. The Court of Common Pleas is to hold three terms a year, and the Criminal Court four terms a year. 3. In the report of 1830 (already [.quoted more than once) we read as follows No jadge during vacation has power to order publication against absent defendants; to ratify nisi or final sales made by trustees; to confirm an auditor's report; or order dis tribution of assets in the hands of a trustee. The consequenoe is that whenever a party chooses to contest a case, he is furnished with opportunities at every stage of it to delay a final decree Cases sometimes occur in which large sums of money are tied up in the hands of a trustee, waiting the confirma tion of a report and order for distribution, four or five years." The bill which has passed the House and is now before the Senate, obviates all those in conveniences by declaring that the proposed Court of Equity shall be always open for the transaction of business. 4. The bill disoourages these vexatious de vices which are often resorted to only for the purpose of gaining time. It provides that "pleas in abatement [dilatory pleas] and spe cial demurrers shall be filed at the first rule day after the rule given to plead, and not afterwards." 5. There is another i mprovement which it is deemed desirable to see introduced into the Distriot system of procedure, but which the provisions already considered have perhaps rendered unnecessary. We mean some such provision as has been incorporated into the code of Virginia: "If at the return day of any process, it be not returned executed, an alias or other pro per process may be issued, without waiting (where the first process is returnable to a term) for the subsequent process to be awarded at rules." (Va. Code, title 51, chap. 170, sec. 3.) ^Vithu3, the writ is very often returned non est, and very often it is not returned at all; and the consequenoe is no less serious thai, the loss of six months. It will thus be -ep Alj seen how easy it new is in the Distric f Co lumbia to evade the demands of jastiou. Heaping the Fruits of Demagogue ism For years past tt.has been fashionable at thei Nerth to preach a "higher law" than the Con stitution and laws, State and national. Near ly every demagogue who has been ambitions of office?town, county or State -or of a seat in Congress, has some time or other aided and abetted the violation of the fugitive slave law, by way of working himself into the good graces of the "higher law" mob. The latter, it seems, appear inclined to elaborate the doctrines thu3 instilled into them. It was de signed to teaoh them only that the legal rights of Southern persons were not to be observed. Hunger is now, however, suggesting that if it is right to set the laws at defiance for so called philanthropic reasons, it ia eminently so, to keep body and soul together, and that it is no more improper to own a man, than (in hard times like the present) to own the prop erty for whioh other men have labored faith* fully and for a mere pittance, to create. Nothing is easier than to slide from higher lawism into agrarianism, and the late preva lanoe of higher law teachings has fearfully increased the tendency towards agrarianism which has always so crazed our Northern cities. We expect nothing else more than to hear of terrible bread riot3 at the North ere long, and shall regard them as but the quod erat demonstrandum of the industry with which, for the vilest political ends, the igno rant and poor there have been urged to be lieve that their opinions of the fitness of things may rightfully be carried out, the law to the contrary notwithstanding. The First of January in Washington.? The President's mansion will be thrown open on Monday next at the hour oi noon, accord ing to the time-honored custom, when the President and his personal and. official family will probably be called on by at least five thousand persons in the course of the day. The day will be devoted to pleasure by a large number of our citizens. Beside the re ceptions of the President and members of the Cabinet, Mayor Toweis, ex Mayors Maury and Seaton, Mr. Walter, the architect, Col. Ber rett, City Postmaster, and a large number of our most prominent citizens will also keep open houses for the reception of their friends here and from a distance. Drawing Money from the Treasury.?Up to the close of business, yesterday, the Treas ury Department proper had drawn, in the course of the current week, on the Sub treas ury in New York for $1,600,000. It was ex pected, this morniDg, that the similar drafts made to-day would amount to an aggregati of a million of dollars. Light Bonse Keepers Appointed?James P. Keating baa boen appointed keeper of the light-house at Point Laura, (San Diego,) Cal. at $1,000 per annum. George G.

-LNING STAR. ir L~ JCAL INTELLIGENCE. Th? Coscert Last Night.?The new lec ture room in the Smithsonian was filled last night with one of the most fashionable audi ences that ever congregated ia this city The number present we bare heard variously esti mated at from fifteen hundred to two thousand, the latter figure approximating nearest the true number, in our opinion. The hall itself is without doubt the beat arranged in the United States, and reflects the highest credit upon the gentlemen having charge of this matter The Union Choir, to the number of about two hundred, were arranged by the conductor. Mr. F.

Thi? ia evident from the fact that it a0d not been tuned for nearly four months, yet it was fully up to concert pitch, and in perfect tune We do not know the amount raised for tho poor by th;.3 concert, but set it down at about $500. All concerned deserve the highest meed of praise, wi.hout di^iucti-jn.

This requisite com bination mates this ballet far Superior to anything produced in Washington by that justly celebrated troupe. To say that Mile. Caroline highly deligh'ed ail the audience, k will not convey an idea of her succoss in her si'beautiful part. A considerable portion of rthose present were, undoubtedly, critics Those who, having been abroad have enjoyed the pleasure of seeing the finest ballot dan cing ot the continent, and wo can safely write that her performance of last night satisfied tnem that Caroline Rju-set is without her equal as a danseuse in America her conceo tion of the poetry of her part, and tho grace and precision with which sue executed its most difficult passages, having rnkeu all pres ent by surprise Wo ere without spa e in which to particularize all her beautiful dances of the piece, though no one who was ic the National Theater list night will ever forget her waltz and her danco of the ccquetto Her sisters, too^jvere scarcely behind her in this exquisite ballet; each of them?liieresine, Adelaide, and Clementine?bringing down the house on a dozen different occasions.

The fair is to be continued every eveniog duiing next week and on Monday (new year's day) a levee will be held, commencing at ten o'clock in the morning. This evening, we learn, the Amphien Quarter Ciub will sing several ef their choicest piccts of music.

Taylor ?!l Maury s bookstore, which offers this season moie than ordinary attractions Our enterprising fellow citizens, anxious to loster a growing taste for the arts, have collccttd a variety of the choicest works in every department. Amongst the thousand and one elegancies which greet the eye, we observed most exqub-ite specimens in terra cotta, poreelain, paper mache, bronze and glass. 1 he selection of books will delight the literary connoisseur, while the juveniles, who revel in comicalities will regard Messrs. Tay luaury as large contributors to their ristmas amusements. Ralls oj* New Year's Night.?The Terp sichore Club will bold their grand bail at Odd Fellows' Hall, Navy Yard, on new year's night They will, no doubt, have a fine time of It. The German Yagers are also to have a ball at Carusi'e Saloon on the same night, when a large oompany of gallant men and beautiful ladies will grace the saloon. The Younc Guard-?This vr?l| drilled company from Richmond, Virginia, which has been on a visit to Baltimore, arrived here in the eleven o'clock train of oars this morning. They are the guasts of the Highlanders, Ca tain Reese by which oompany taey wet 3 re ceived and esc- rted to the President's Man sion, to pay their respeots to his Exoellenoy; from thence to the various places of interest in the city. The Quards will leave for home, by the southern boat, this evening. They were well entertained in Baltimore, and are pleased with their visit The Highlanders deserve oredit for the energy they have shown since their formation. Theirs is a young com pany, but active and determined in all they undertake. The Young Guard intended to have passed through Washington this morning for Richmond, but Captain Reese, with his pro verbial kindness and hospitality, has induoed them to speiid the day in Washington. After partaking of a collation with the Highlanders at their company's headquarters on D street, the Young Guards, without amis and under the escort of their hosts, visited the Patent Office, and were to proceed to vi.-it Marshal Hoover at his residenoe on Louisiana avenue. P. S. We regret to learn that just as we go to piess, the Young Guard have a telegraphic dispatch from Baltimore, announcing the death of Mr. Wm. Oglebv, one of theirmem bers, who accompanied Kem on their visit to that city, though far gone in consumption when leaving home. He was prostrated by the sudden change of weather, and died sur rounded by a detachment of comrades detailed to atrend bim The Infant Drumm er paid a visit the White House this morning, and played some of his most favorite airs before the President and his lady. They both expressed themselves highly pleased with his performances, and Mrs. Pierce presented him with a token of remem brance. There were several present, among whom we noticed Col. Bailey, Mr. Hibbard, Secretary Webster, Judge Douglas, and Mar shal Hoover, who all spoke in the highest terms of the young prodigy. Wo observe that he has announced four entertainments for New Year's day, which we trust will be well pat ronised. New Year's Receptions Free Drinks.? Mettrs. Editors: The public is well aware of your continual advocacy of reform where a moral good is to bo achieved. Now, I am not an advocate for the Maine liquor law or any taxation upon the freedom of the individual; but I think a little reflection upon the usual mode of conducting the festivities of new year's day will net be amiss. The custom of mutual congratulations among friends, on the Gpeping of a new year, is a very delightful one, and the free entertainment in connec tion with it a token of the generous hospi tality of the people; but why should it be carried to such an extent as to produce an amount of intoxication unparalleled through out the year, swelling the watch returns and giving full employment to the police 1 It is a well known fact that the majority of persons who frequent the receptions in this city are attracted more by the luring charm* of "Bacchus" than the wish to pay respect tg the Lost! ihe remedy is in the hands of our citizens Let there bo u.n end to the indiscrim inate supplies of alcohol, and the result will be tar different from former anniversaries; the smile of friendship will not be less sweet; friendly greetings none the lbss cordial, and Hie pleasure w':!l bo enhanced by an appesr 2T ee of decorum throughout the city, whilst the watcL returns the next morning will not out so sorry a figure na the day after Christmas day. F. P. Criminal Court.?There was no case tried in tnio court yesterday. Tc-day, when we left the court room, the case of Wesley Birch and J. F. Wollard, two members of the Police and Auxiliary Guard, was being tried. The charge against them is arresting G. C. Patter son under a peace warrant, and taking him from his bed to the guard house without giving him lime to clothe himeelf. Cbnire Market ?The market place was crowded this morning with dealors and pur chasers The butchf.rs department v-si sup plied beaaiifully, and the stock delayed to advantage There was a grent quantity of wildgamo for sale, and was taken up rapidly by proprietors of public houses. Prices have not declined though there appears to be so large a quantity on hand. Col. L ^ntoh?Persons desiring Oul Teu ton's great work are reminded that J. S.

A few hours and ho would never have been troubled again for a resting place. Unicn Academy.?The .tttontion of the readers of the is called to the notice of the Union Academy, in another column of to day's isiue. Watch Returns ?In the guard house, this morning, there were soven lod tt-rs. The po lice court, Justice Grubb presiding, had but two cases to dispose of, viz James Watson, drunk, costs Martin McGuine, vagrant, work house ninety days. Q&0L2ET0WN CORRESPONDENCE.

EVENING S^AR. TARE WELL TO THE TEAS ET K]tS. M. B. A LIB*. Tlie years fht by us with a sound of haste When' speed they? Forth we look into the fhture, But from its darkened page no knowledge gain, Bask to the pastwe turn?10 'mid the bower* They throne, and chime their song. Its numbers blend A dirge for hope* departed, and a glory fled From the earth forever. Now, sadder still, An undertone, which breathes of tainted hours, Darkened with sinfbl deeds and thoughts of folly Swift bore upon ihe wings ef time, Another ye ir has flown, With many a cherished source of blijp, We proudly sail our own. Qu.ck tears have gushed, and joy's deep thrill, Has stirred affection well, With rays oflights and clouds of care Year wrapped with change?Farewell. Light ?tepn with happy hearts, have roamed Among thy sunr-mer flowers While mirth and melody have gushed W ithin her brightest bowers. Pleasure hath warbled by the fount, O'er which lay childhood's spell, With merry laughter in thy wake? Year of glad tones?Farewell. There have been spirits s I, and prayer Around the .-ufferer's bed, A wail of anguish as he pissed? Their loved?to join the dead. The light of many a soul grown dim, As griefs dim twilight fell, Dark, mantling in the day of joy? Year of crushed hopes?Farewell. Fame, with her stirring voice hath woke Deep yearnings in the breast, With secret whispers, luring on To a pure promised rest. Hearts have b en fired wi-.h high resolves, A purpose nought to quell, Chains have been linked within thy grasp, To clasp a world?Farewell. Farewell, farewell! We gaze no more Along tby fading traek The harvest of thy scattered seed, Time's reaper shall give back. The dawning of a glsd new year Hath unto us been given, Oh, if we mark its evening close, May we be nearer Heaven. MOVEMENTS OF OCEAN STEAMERS. Name.
