The New Year's day! in many a change, Tis still kept sacred and apart; And time can never quite estrange, Its young emotions from the heart; There'.-joy within its circle yet, There's hope within its rising ray, The heart can never quite forget The ancient brightness of the day. The voung behold the tide of time In glorious fulness sweeping past, And many a glance of joy sublime Upon its bounding waves U cast; 1 Ley spread their canvass on the sea, They care not how the gale may blow, Ad move in rapture, wild and free As it there were no graves below. Tlx man, with calm and quiet smile, Regards his children at their play, I'nbtuds his heart & leels the while. The influence of the new year's day. He counts the labors of his lift, And says with sorrow, all is vain; Yet, ere he rests him from the strife, He hurries to the field again. Hieaed, on whose snowy brow The storms of many a year have beat, Sees waves of memory rolling now In dying whispers to his feet; ith heart sustained by thoughts of power With gentle firmness in his eye He waits the coming of the hour. That bears the last command to die. For he whose thoughts have learned to rise On strong devotion's upward wing, btes, far beyond these lower skies, , Another new year's day break spring year, that hath no closing day, A year, that knows no wintry gloom year, whose earliest morning ray Bieaks from the midnight of the tomb. "hen let the tide of time roli on: for who would stay its downward j now; Region's undescendini? sun sheds its holy light below. W vainly to tl,e hearts of men " that inspiring promise given, 'neltet shall all be found again, Anddeath conduct to life & heaven. CAPTIONS ! Of the Acts passed by the General i umblu of JV.

Some impas sioned haranguing took places during which, as is the habit with. these very decent, sweel tempered' politicians, the viiestepiihets were- applied to our venerated Presi dent, and the coarsest abuse, and most ihamehsi s'anoers, heaped npou Mr. Van Burtn.
