New Tears Day.

5ITheiirtt

day of the year is a queer day,

1 a very queer day. In many respects it is like every other day, and in many oilier respects it is unlike every Other. The weather is cold or warm, the sun shines or the clouds fly, it rains or it snows, the mud is deep or the ground is frozen, wagons rattle or sleighs glide quietly, morning, noon and night come and go, and so the day is like any other of the year past. But there is a mingling of joy and sorrow, of gaye^r and sobriety, of noisy-mirth and quiet thought, of frivolty and earnestness such as is found on no other day of the year. There are days when lightness of heart is grea'.er, and days also when earnest sobriety or heavness of heart is deeper, but none when these opposites mingle so intimately, not only in the community—for funerals and weddings oftfen occur at the same time on the same street—but in the Fame mind.

Of course everybody is joyous on this day. Not a man, woman or child, but 2 wears a rae.-ry smile when giving or returning the ten thousand times repealed g- eeting of "Happy New Year." In the household all the members are unusually gay, and jovial friends—all fiends are jovial on New Years—drop in early and late, to bring their greeting, chat awhile and show their happy faces. EvenChristVi mas itself is rivalled by the dinner parlies, the balls and the general merry making of the glad new years first day.

Yet every one of these jolly friends and companions has more earnest thought, more sad recollections, more repentings more plannings for the future, and more solemn purposes than any other day of the entire calender. If a friend has been lost in the year past, if affluence or competence has given place to want, if misfortune has come in any form, that sad day upon' which it came will be lived over again on this. The ghosts of dead resolutions,lesolutions which were young, strong and promising a year ago, but which died early or late in the year, and arc mouldering in the corruption of bad habits or needless failures, will come forth V" to haunt their murderers to-day. All that might have been, and and is not, rises up in judgment. And bo it is, that many give and receive their joyous greetings with smiles and with gladness of tone while there is a heavy heart within. Many will bless others to-dayjwitli wishes more or less hearty for 3. prosperous year, while they inwardly curse themselves for their own folly in the past. Of course, there is another side to this picture, in fact two or three more, and each brighter than this. The year just ended has not been one of entire failure perhaps to any, cer&inly not to all. Probably all have gained some triumphs worth remembering, and many have won grand victories, and so there will be to-day, not only rcgrets, for what might have been, but with these there will mingle in the same breast joy and thankfulness over what has been-

Defeats and victories, failures and successes, alike rise up in memory, aid each stirs, itf byrn emotion Sonje poor fellows may not be able to recall a single victory and perhaps some happy ones have no failures, or few, over which to mourn. I Thep#9P,vwhjle there have been losses, flic|e|lik^ Jb6en gains. Many a hard working, -honest man has gained a home, and this is hi? first New Year's Day in it, and he will remember all the struggle,

Uie manly struggle, it cost him and be glad. Many in business will reckon their gains. To many a household a new pet has come, and this is Baby's lirst experience of Crossing the line between an old year and a new.

But it is not the "past alone that holds the mind to-day. The future claflns unusual attention, and will have it. If a man ever looks to the future with earnest thought and high purpose it is on the birth day of the year. More men will "turn a new lcat" to-day than on any pother since the beginning of '69. Many fellowb, younger and older, who have been forced to see that they were "going to the dogs"—a thing which other people saw long befor#—took their final drink late last night at least they intended, per"Vhaps pledged themselves, that it should be the last. The people who will begin today to be temperate, frugal, steady and religious are not a few. If they all succeed there will be vastly more earnest and sensible living than in the past. But,

|r*

fe,

-if we must tell the truth, they probably will not succeed, not all of them ce iain--3]y. It is one thing to reolve and another to do. This is the day of resolutions, -the doing will occupy the year. If by earnest doing the good resolutions of to--day shall result in better lives, then it .'will be to all our readers, as we sincerely wish it may be, a Happy

A Piiiliadelphia Journal notes the Interesting fact that silent and unexpected, but none the less efficacious changes are taking place in the population of the Southern Sta.es. The freedmen are leaving Virginia for the cotton States, giving up the Old Dominion to white imigrants. From perturbed Georgia a stream o» emigration to the West has fairly set in, and of its probable extent and duration no one pretends, at present to judge The Georgians will be welcomed wherever they may chooso to settle as law-abiding citizens, and they will lose their sectional prejudice- by attiition with the denizens of the Western States *The new currents of emigration from North to South and South to West will do much towards obliterating the feelings of bitterness engendered in the days of slavery agitation, which culminated in a war that removed the only obstaAe^to dompltue union, and harmony among the United States.

Tribune hopes that

whenever the time shall have come for the reduction of our National income, Congress will proceed in the way very generally recommended—that of removing taxes altogether. Whenever we can spare Forty Millions per annum of our present Revenue, we presume that not less than two-thirds of all the articles now subject to taxation (whether Internal or by Tariff) may be added to the Free List at once. This would greatly reduce the cost and trouble of assessing and collecting taxes, and render inevitable a reduction of the force now employed in the service. The petty taxes are as troublesome and vexations as the great ones some of them costing the Treasury moje than they produce. Let us not make two, bites'of thfefe, Trat, at the proper moment, aweep them away altogether.

MRS. STOWE'S BOOK OF BYRON.

Correspondence of the Chronicle.]

Boston*,

The interval since my publication of "The True Story of Lady Byron's Life" has been one of stormy discussion and of much invective. I have not thought it necessary to disturb my spirit and confuse my sense of right by even an attempt at reading the many abusive' articles that both here and in England have followed that disclosure. Friends have undeitaken the task for me, giving me from time to time the substance ot' anything really worthy of attention which came to view in the tumult.

It appeared to mc essential that this first excitement should, in a measure, spend itself before there would be a possibility of speaking to any purpose.— Now, when all would seem to have spoken who can speak, and, it is to be hoped, have said the utmost they can say, there seems a propriety in listening calmly, if that be possible, to what 1 have to say in reply.

And, first, why have I made this disclosure at all? To this I answer briefly, because I tonsidered il viy duly to make it.

I made it in defen.-e of a beloved, revered friend, whose memory stood forth in the eyes of the civilized world charged with most repulsive crimes, of which I certainly knew her innocent.

I claim, and shall prove, that Lady Byron's reputation has been the victim of a concerted attack, begun by her husband during her life-time, and coining to its climax over her grave. I claim, and shall prove, that it was not I who stirred up this controversy in this year 1869, shall show who did do it, and who is responsible for bringing on me that hard duty of making these disclosures, which it appears to me ought to have been made by others.

I claim that these facts were given to me unguarded by any promise or seal of secresy, expressed or implied that they were lodged with me as one sister rests her story with another for sympathy, for counsel, for defense. Never did I suppose the day would come that I should be obliged to so cruel an anguish as this use of them has been to me. Never did I suppose Ihat when those kind hands, that had shed nothing but blessings, were lying in the helplessness of death,—when that gentle heart so sorely tried and io the last so full of love, was lying cold in the tomb, a countryman in England could be found to cast the foulest slanders on her grave, and not one in all England to raise an effective voice in her defense.

I admit the feebleness of my plea, in point of execution. It was written in a state of exhausted health, when no labor of the kind was safe for me—when my hand had not strength to hold the pen, and I was forced to dictate to another.

I have been told that I have 110 reason to congratulate myself on it as a literary effort. O, my brothers and sisters! is there then nothing in the world to think of-but literary efforts? I ask any man with a heart in his bosom, if he had been obliged to tell a story so cruel because his mother's grave gave no rest from slander—I ask any woman who had been forced to such a disclosure to free a dead sisier's name f.om grossest insults, whether she would have thought of making this work of bitterness a literary success?

Are the cries of the oppressed, the gasps of the dying,the last prayers of mothers— ai any words wrung like drops of blood from the human heart to be judged as literary efforts?

My fellow-countrymen of America, men of the press, I have done you one act of justice—of all your bitter articles, I have read not one. I shall never be troubled in the future time by the remembrance of any unkind word you have said of me, for at this moment I recollect not one. 1 had such faith in you, such pride in my countrymen, as men with whom, above all others, the cause of woman was safe and sacred, that I was at first astonished and incredulous at what I heard of the course of the American press and was silent, not merely from the impossibility of being heard, but from grief and shame. But reflection convinces me that you were, in many cases, acting from a misunderstanding of facts and through misguided honorable feelings: and I still feel cour, age, therefore to ask from you a fair hearing, Now, as I have done you this justice, will you also do me the justice to hear me seriously and candidly?

What interest have you or I, my brother and my sister, in this short life of ours, to utter anything but the truth? Is not truth between man and man and between man and woman the foundation on which all things rest? Have you not, every individual of you, who must hereafter give all account of yourself alone to God, an interest to know the exact truth in this matter, and a duty to perform as respects that truth? Hear me, then, while I tell you the position in which I stood, and what was my course in relation to it.

A shameless attack on my friend's memory had appeared in the*Blackwood of July, 1869, branding Lady Byron as the vilest of criminals, and recommending the Guiccioli book to a Christian pub lie as interesting from the very fact that it was the avowed production of Lord Byron's mistress. No efficient protest was made against this outrage in England, and LiMefe Litmg Age reprinted the Blachcood article, and the Harper's, the largest publishing house in*

Mrs. Stowe's rejoinder in defense of Lady Byron is nearly ready. It makes a volume of upwards of four hundred pages, and will be published Saturday, January 8th. The introductory chapter is given below, and it shows so admirably the pure loyalty of heart which impelled Mrs. Stowe to write her former vindication of Lady Byron, and manifests so noble a spirit, that even those least disposed to admit her conclusions can but be willing to listen to an advocate who pleads in so Christian a tone. It is not worth while here to enter into a discussion of the main question of the volume itself. I wish merely to call attention to the chivalrous bearing and wholly 'admirable temper with which Mrs. Stowe enters on her unwelcome task. Argus.

America, per

haps in the world, republished the book. Its statements with those of the Blackwood, Pall Mali Gazette, and other English periodicals were being propaeated through all the young reading and writing world of America. I was meeting them advertised in dailies, and made up into articles, in magazines, and thus the generation of to-d^y, who had no means of judging Lady Byron but" by these fitfiles of her slanderers, were b^mg fi?ully deceived. The friends who jmew hCT personalty, were a. snail select circle in

OA'1*:

England, whom death is every day reducing. They wee few in number compared with the gj-cat vo Id, and were silent. I saw these foul slande.it ysializing into history unconiradic ed by fjiends who knew her pei-sonally, who, fiim in their oWn knowledge of her virtues and limited in view ax aristocratic circles gene-ally are, had no idea of the width of t.ie world they were living in, and the exigency of the crisis. When lime passed on and no voice was raised, I spoke. I gave at first a simple story, for I knew instinctively that whoever put the first sieel point of troth into this dark cloud of slander must wait for the storm to spend itself. I must say the storm exceeded my expectations, and has raped loud and long. But now that there is a comparative stillness I shall proceed, first, to prove what I have just been assertin ana second, to add to my true .story sue facts and incidents as I did now think proper at first to state.

A Solemn Joke.

One of the cleigymen of Peoria, Illinois, has been put in a parsonage ihat did not come up to the idea of what a minister should enjoy. Recently he waa called upon to announce that there would be a mite society at the ministerial dwelling. He said: "There will be a mite society on Thursday evening next at the parsonage. The parsonage is a little, old, tumble-down building on street."

Some of the older fines of the congregation took umbrage at this, whiletheyoung--er ones laughed. In the evening the pardon waa called upon to make the same announcement.^ After saying that the mi,e society would beheld at the parsonage, he paused a moment, and th*n remarked: "On the corner of the street near my residence is a well. Said well is covered over and clapboarded. It is unpainted and weatherworn, but I wish to describe it so that none of you may make a mistake and take the well for the parsonage. The mite society will be held in the par* sonage and not in the well.
