New Year's Day.
Let us hail the new-born year, Come our drooping hearts to cheer, Let us all be cheerful, gay, On this happy New Year's Day. Social day of friendly meetings, Joyous day of kindly greetings, Dawning of a year of blessings, Love's hopes and sweet caressings, Blessings in anticipation, Wealth and fame in expectation. All is pleasing, joyous, bright, Full of half-enjoyed delight. Yes, it comes, brimful of pleasures, Honors, health and golden treasures. Hopeful year of bright to-morrows, Or, may be, of hidden sorrows. Happy that we do not know What the morrow will bestow, Happy that we cannot see What is in futurity ! If we knew the coming strife, Who could face the ills of life? But our cheering Angel Hope, _ Holds our sinking spirits up, Wipes away the oiling tear, Promises a brighter year. Thus encouraged let us rise, Soaring upward to the skies, Where all passing time shall be Swallowed in Eternity.

Bancroft and Byron.
In the January Century Professor Sloane, formerly private secretary of Bancroft tells by authority the stery of the meeting of | Bancroft with Goethe, Schleimacher “and | Byron. We quote as _ follows:
the harbor of Leghorn, and Bancroft was} aboard the flagship. ouly a few other Armericans, among them the consul at Tunis, with his wife and several ladies. When the poet, accompani- ed by his host and the principal officers of the fleet, came up the companionway, his countenance immediately fell at the sight of the ladies among the new arrivals, think- ing probably that they were Englishwomen who had takén advantage of the opportunity to spy him out. But on learning that they were Americans he at once recovered his cheerfulness, and was most approachable. In fact, when the consul’s wife laughingly said that her children would want some proof that she had seen Lord Byron, she was permitted to take the rose from his buttonhole. Before leaving, the nobleman’s secretary invited Bancroft in his» master’s name to visit Monte Nero. So intense was the enthusiasm for Byron among the officers of the fleet that when he was rowed ashore, one captain manned his yard-arms
and fired a salute, but thecommodore, feeling
that the guest of the day®had no position which warranted so official a greeting, allowed it to gono further. Shortly after- ward Bancroft wrote a note to ask if he might call at Monte Nero, and received a pleasant, lively reply. Byron’s reception of his guest was cordial, He was simply but carefully dressed,and during the break- fast talked of Jeffrey and the bitter attacks of the Edinburgh Review. His eye was bright and his manner apimaied, but with- out bitterness or rancor. He seemed intensely interested in Goethe, and asked many questions about him. The idea that Manfred was based on Faust he declared to be false, explaining that he had never even seen Faust. He was evidently delighted to hear hear how great a favorite he was every- where in, Germany. He spoke also of Thorwaldsen’s busts, and said, with seem- ing dissatisfaction, the last one was too spare. . After breakfast he invited Bancroft into the drawing-room, from the windows of which, he said Elba was visible, and in- deed it was, but very dimly. While they were standing absorbed in trying to dis- cern its outline, the door opened softly, and a light footstep was heard. It was that of the Countess Guiccioli, and without the slightest embarrassment Byron turned and presented Bancroft to her. She at once made some introductory remark in Italian and talked for some time. The conversa- tion became general, and in the course of it Byron remarked, incidentally, that the Countess did not like the scofting tone of ‘Don Juan,’ and had entreated him not to go on with it, and that he had received let- ters from others to the same effect. That Bancroft’s visit was remembered with plea- sure isyevident, both from the letters to Murray in which Byron alludes to his young vistor, and from the preseutation copy of ‘Don Juan,’ with the author’s auto- graph, still in Bancroft’s library.”
A Naughty Prince.
The Duchess of Edinburgh was met on her arrival at Malta by the Duke, and three days later gave a concert at their house at San Antonio. The Duke was down for a solo on his beloved fiddle, and when His Royal Highness stood up to per- form he was greeted, of course, with a storm of applause. He proceeded in the usual manner to thrum the instrument into tune, but the first touch told him that the strings had been changed—that the A string was where the G ought to be, and vice versa. The Duke looked angry, called for another violin, and, when he had tuned it vigorously, resined his bow. He then dashed bravely at the piece, but, alas! nothing but the most awful scroops result- ed from his elbow jerking.
The audience were respectfully patient for a bar or two, thena sort ef suppressed snigger ran round the room, and the Duke stopped and examined his tools once more. A glance at his bow caused him to scruti- nize his resin box, the contents of which proved to be cobbler’s wax. After this there was nothing for the royal fiddler but to explain, with the best grace he could, that the fates were against him, and resume his seat, which he did, while muffled laugh- ter from Prince George gave a pretty clear clew to the author of the mischief.

VOL. 19.—NO. 178. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,
| ee
| Sir,— Somebody, whether a _practica jjoker or a fool, has furnished ‘‘a hint to | King’s County Liberal candidaiess” in the Weekly Patriot of the 23rd inst The “‘hint’ is that when the two Grit candidates for | King’s County are writing toany of their ‘political friends around Peake’s Station, | those letters should go to Baldwin’s Station jand said friends wou Wd be sure to get them. Well, if Peake’s Station Grits ave so foolish as to go a couple of miles farther 'for their political nonsense, sensible people will not find any particular fault. It may ipossibly help to put new life into the sluggish blood which reaches some of their brains, and might add a little to the em- ployment of a shoemaker. The mortal who refuses, in such cases, to be accomodated at home, where the accomodation is just the same as at « distance, is either a natural curiosity or a laughing stock, but then at ‘election times, Grits are nearly always ob- | jects of merriment. | The fact of the matter is, the writer is very much mistaken if Mr. Dennis Me- Qu id would thank any one, Liberal or Conserv ative ‘ for the is grease . smeared jupon him in the oily Patriot. He and Mr. Allan MacDon: ald, the Postmaster at | Peake’s Station, are the best of personal lfriends ; the y are both conscientious pub- lic servants, and both ox wod%sound Liberal- Conservatives to boot. To cast a slur, either upon one or other, in thet ir positions as Postmasters, whether directly or by im- poking fun -or m: skin, t mischief ; but in smacks of the slanderous sneak, and just looks like what Both Postmasters are
a Grit defeat by detaining the worthless literature of that party. CONSERVATIVE.

A Tyranny that Cannot Live in America.
This is from*an editorial under the above heading in the January Century: ‘‘No more important or excellent work can be done by labor organizations than that of teaching their - indifferent members that they and their children have a personal ad- vantage, not a personal injury, in the superior capacity of some of their comrades. And, if the lesson be not taught or not heeded, public opinion must speak promptly and emphatically in condemnation of the injury which its skilled labor is daily re- ceiving at the han’s of unworthy men, Labor is the life of the country; and he who dishoners it with this opprobrious name of ‘scab’ is the lineal descendant of the slave-driver of ante-bellum times ; their community of feeling is due to almost exactly similar reasons.
‘** We believe that no periodical of the kind has paid more attention than has the Century to the labor question, or shown greater sympathy with all who work. But we shall never cease to protest against tyranny, whether exercised by combined capital or by combined labor. And we shall do all we can to hasten the day when these imported methods of keeping down labor- ing men to adead level of energy and opportunity shall be utterly eliminated. The Statue of Liberty at the gate of the new world will be a shameful fraud if the first principles of individual freedom are to be detined by the very men who should jealously guard the liberty which our Con- stitution guaranteed to every American citi- zen. What the workingmen need to-day is not leaders who preach the gospel of the dead level, or fiaunt before their eves doubtful theories atid panaceas of ‘reform,’ but rather leaders of the type of Lincoln, who study their needs, sympathize with their burdens, and illustrate in their own lives the upward path of free, honorable and self-respectful labor. The dead Lincoln is a better leader than the live theorist or demagogue.”’
mseninliaptetetipsenlasi es LinccIn's Reverence for Women,
In the January Century Nicolay and Hay introduce as follows their account of Lincoln’s love affairs: ‘‘ Upon a tempera- ment thus predisposed to look at things in their darker aspect, it might naturally be expected that a love-affair which was not perfectly happy would be productive of great misery. But Lincoln seemed espe- cially chosen to the keenest suffering in such a conjuncture. The pioneer, as a rule, was comparatively free from any troubles of the imagination. To quote Mr. McConnell again : “There was no romance in his [the pioneer’s} composition. He had no dreaminess ; meditation was no part of his mental habit ; ; a poetical fancy would, in him, have been an indication of insan- ity.’ If he reclined at the foot of a tree, on a stil] summer day, it was to sleep; if he gazed out over the wav ing prairie, it was to search for the column of smoke which told of his enemies’ approach ; if he turned his eyes towards the blue heaven, it was to prognosticate to-morrow’s rain or "sunshine. If he bent his gaze towards the green earth it was to look for ‘‘ Indian sign” or buffalo trail. His wife was only a helpmate; he never thought of making a divinity of her.’ But Lincoln could never have claimed this happy.immunity from ideal trials. His published speeches show how much the poet in him was constantly kept in check ; and at this time of his life his imagination was sufficiently alert to inflict upon him the sharpest anguish. His reverence for women was so deep and tender ,that he thought an injury toone of them was a sin too heinous to be expiated. No Ham- let, dreaming amid the turrets of Elsinore, no Sidney creating a chivalrous Arcadia, was fuller of mystic and shadowy fancies of the worth and dignity of woman than this backwoods politician. Few men ever lived more sensitively and delicately tender to- wards the sex.”
