One More Year Scored.

Tho Missouri RepuMican thus notices the past year: The speed of th globa on its orbit has thrown one more Year off, to follow the arada a read v trone. ana etaris tins . . . t . , rj - mnrmnf loranotner revoiuiion. wuna iiot one on its back. It is well to mark an event of this kind in the way custom war rants to take some tiote of time otherwise than by its flight. Hours multiply, days hurry away, weeks come and go, months pass, and when tha biun up into years, we are bewildered that we should hare been ao indifferent to their loss, whilst upon looking around ub, we may perceive so many thousands of wonderful effects they have produced. Time is, indeed, uncaaeinlv working marvels, but so stealth ily that, until completed, weufton fail to: notice them, although constantly lonkiris: on' Its seal is set upon nations and king. donis upon p-c-vernments and crownsnot Ivsjs than upon individuals and the fair forms of nature. The signet is change. To the whole world the paat year was a remarkable one few more so to Europe, and none to this continent. Of the eveula by which it was distinguished in the United States, particularly, the introspective is rife. Let us briefly "recapitulate a few of the most important: Among theäQ were the unpairlled excitement and party pnirit growing out of the I'rosidentiai election . r .. ... i ..- an ,iuir wu.uu "in uc m- h. . ture i e . a 1 . narmnnfl A Ch IV ftf Ollf nt OTI f I A institutions, which r . I shaken to their very roof. For the first " v -.w., w time in the history ot tho country has the, idea of seperate government, formed from th present Union so replete with ßlon - ous memories becomo matter ot general and profound considerationand lor the first time h?ij a sovereign State in form if not in fact, deliberately cut herself Iooso from the parent stock and set up an inde pendent administration ofanthoriiy. Thesse and their concomitant occurrences too numerous for special allusion, are alone sufficient to m;.ke the year 1860 long remembered iu America. From tho very beginning of the year, when the country was deeply agitated over the Harper's Ferry treason, the times have j been lull ot uncommon tiling. .i ..asn . .t ". it. r l .:.....! inoton in"i''j was iroui Speaker ot the House, which accomplished on tlie 1st ot ter two niontl3 of arduous spe and caucusing, fecarcely was wheti there began the lS:nato rutivi effort to neutralize the Judsr Douglas, which oocu deal of time end wasted an inmn of energy. There, with the Corode Com - rniltee investiiraiions, the Potter and Fry-; Am.l, nnA 4..mr.rtM barb.iiim ofs "i v. w ... i , - - - slavery," managed to keep the telegraph j burdened and the oountry m a "stew." But. wo have hd othr than Congress- ;

All.it seems, was quit at

Though every heart is haunted by seme unwelcome shadow, and though there seme unwelcome shadow, and thoug past is sentineled with many happy images, which the memory will not willingly let di. We are now in tho midst cf a political crisis, the result of which may determine tho desliniva of millions in this country, if, indeed, it does not change the relationships of even foreign nation?. This is an epoch that will bo noted by historians as among Iii most important th weld has ever experienced. It therefore behooves all, putting partisan bias aside, and banishing passion and prejudice, to weigh well each for himself, what the uncorked future may pour nut. The page of coming time, now clear and unsullied, is susceptible to the faintest impression. Let us anticipate that the record it shall bear may glow with the brightest and fairest trainings of wisdom, justice, patriotism and fraternal concord. We embrace the occasion of the advent of a New Tear'.o wish the friends and readers of this jourral adue share of the pleasures aud joys of life an increase of their etore, nnd the calm inner comfort that takes the mind peacefully down to the suuset horizon, and to an auspicious and hap py cl08C. . m . Tho Cross. The following striking passage is from Henry Ward Beecher's sermon, preached a few Sundays since, in the pulpit of tie late Thcodoro Parker, at Boston: "The cross has twined around it every association of dignity and beauty in tho world. Not one other thing has received from the fertile mind and all-fashioning hands of men of genius so many intrinsic beauties as the cross of Christ. Millions never hear of it without a throb, nor see it without genuflection. It draws tho child in the cradle next to its mothers face, and it is the last thing from which the light disappears when this child in old age is dying. Tho cross is now as universal and beautiful to the associations and memoria of men, as then it was rare, peculiar andJ odious; it is that which now to us is not only suggestive of an incident in Christ's history, but is also a memorial of two thou sand years of history. ÄVound.that simple Crois-wood. tht hsart of tie world has trathered for twenty centuries its store of admiration, t jot, oi ihibuch,
