The Flight Of Time,

The Flight Of Time,
Hearst thou that voice that sounds along the Past?
"a year is gone !" as, on the wntry blast,
In mournful cadence dies the mmm'ring strain,
By drging winds borne to tn eternal main.
Lo! Time, on wintry clouds, in swift career,
Procaims the advent of the rolling Year,
Beneath him whirl the wheels that flash strange
light,
Trailing in glorious lustre DER the Night
He comes, in annual pomp, from climes unknown
Down heavens high steep, on an aerial throne:
Der all the skies, divorging flames atar
A radiance bright that dms the morning star!
The swih-wng'd Hours come down the midnight
sky,
Then sink into their own eternity:
While hoary Time, approaching, present, gone,
In noiseess sullenness, HES swiftly on
Lo lis reflected light brings up to view
All our young years, in tnts of fadeless hue
Yet on the isthmus Of the passing year,
The sinking football feels it dsappear

A word spoken pleasantly is a large spot of
sunshine on sad heart
Blessed are they that are ignorant, for they
are happy in thinking that they know every
thing
To change an old friend for a new one, is to
change fruits for flowers.
When man is not liked, whatever he does is
rs.
The wise man knows that he knows nothing;
the fool thinks he knows all.
Blessed are they who do not advertise, for
they shall rarely be troubled with customers.
The grave is the bridge to the better world.--
The bridge toll is to be paid to the doctor.
Every man has some secret, which if revealed
would tend to make him hated and despsed
Blessed is the man who has but one shirt as
he will have no enyious friends.
An affected singer, at Dublin theatre, was
told by wag in the gallery to 'come out from
behind his nose, and sing like other people,"

The True Life,

The mere lapse of years is not life. 70 oas,
and drink. and sleep to be exposed to darkness
and tho light; to pace around in the mill of hab-
it, and turn the wheel of wealth, to make reason
our book keeper and turn thought into an i'm
plement of trade-this is not life In all this
but poor fraction Of the consciousness Of hu.
mainly is awakened and the faculties still sumbel
edge, truth, love, beauty, goodness, faith alone
can give vitality othe mechanism of existence
the laugh Of mirth which vibrates through the
heart, the tears that freshen the dry wastes
within, the music that brings childhood back
the prayer that calls the future near, the doubt
which makes us mediate, the death which startle
us with mystery, the hardship that forces US tt
struggle the anxiety that ends in trust-are thu
true nourishment of natural being.

Corn CObs for Mich Cows.

As these contain very sensible portion of nu.
tritive matter besides other substances Of value,
you should grind them into cob-mea for your
mich cows. TO increase their value, add to
every peck ofcobs quart of meal or two quarts
of bran to each mess for COW, which should
be either boiled or steamed into slop for your
COWS. The proportions we herein name, with
the addition Of cut hay or straw, say half bush.
ell at each meal, will not only keep COW in
good condition, but if she be in milk will in
crease its quantity as well as improve its quality
A COW, besides these slop messes should be night
and morning served with long food ,as hay, straw,
or fodder in suitable quantities, say ten lbs. at
each meal. If such course of treatment were
to be observed towards these generous creatures
there would be less falling off in their milking
properties through the winter, AS to fault in

Merico.
In U. S. SENATE, Dec. l3.
Mr. President, as the subject has excited some
debate at this unusually early stage of its prog
ress, do not know but the present is as good a
time to meet the peculiar views of Senators upon
this question as any time which may hereafter
present itself 1t is an unusual mode, it seems
to me, to introduce this delicate subject at such
time. But, inasmuch as the petition which has
been presented is itself termed "insolent," do
not know but that l may expose myself to the
same charge by the motion Lam about to make
or the amendment which am about to propose
to the motion of the Senator from Missouri. 1t
lis that the petition be committed to the Commit.
Zee on Territories, with instructions to report a
bill agreeably to the prayer of the petitioners.
And now, Sir, let me say one word in regard
to the character Of this memorial The obiec-
ton of the honorable Senator from Mississippi,
(Mr. Foote,) and Of the honorable Senator from
Florida, Mr. Westcott,) are, that this memorial
does not come properly authenticated as the pro-
ceedings of a regular Convention. The honor
able Senator from Mississippi (Mr, Foote) has
intimated that this matter of Conventions had
got to have pretty definite and settled meaning
among US. He says that when we speak of
Convention we mean delegated body represent
ing constituencies, due notice of the meet
ing having been given and regular prepare
tory meetings holden think, Sir, if the hon
orabe Senator will look back upon the history
of this country, which enjoys much higher
state of civilization, and great deal more learn
ing on this matter ofConventions than the people
of New Mexico, he will find that the subject is
not vet thoroughly understood even in this conn.
try.
If this matter is not sufficiently understood in
this country, how could the new population in
New Mexico, that have not been drilled in this
matter of Conventions, have understood it thor
oughly2 Why, Sir, there is the great Empire
State of New York, that has had as much ,.isci-
pline, drilling and experience upon this subject
Of Conventions, as any other State in the Union.

found rest in an humble grave. o, then, why
will not those who have the worlds goods IN
plenty, open their hearts, and minister to the
comfort af the "unfortunate poor" He who has
so bountfuy provided your store, will not forget
you when He ''makes up His jewels" if you will
extend the hand Of brigh eyed Charity to those
stricken ones, who are afflicted with poverty and
disease. Give promptly, ere the sorrowlng tears
of Want and Poverty are frozen by the icy tet-
tiers of despair. Even now the heart-rendng
sob of gaunt Famine IS heard in our by-streets
ind dark lanes Send, oh, send the harbinger
of Joy into these dark places, and cause wretch
edness to smile amid its tears

Love Of Home.

The love of home-the charms of our native
dwellings-~the endearments they possess when
present, and the beauty and dignity shed over
their remembrance whilst absent-these are feel
ings which can steal into all breasts without
speech or language
"'Tis natures voice, and understood
Alike by all mankind"
AS the poor TyroIese ventures from his rocky
nest, he already feels at every step the lengthen
ing chain; and if by chance, in the melting of
his SOUL the strains of the "Ranz DIES Vaches"
should meet his ear, the flood of feeling becomes
irresistible, and the poor wanderer has nothing
left but to seek hastily the air and soil of home,
or to die. 1t is not the spendor the convenien-
cies, or the comforts of home, that give it the
title of "sweet, sweet home!" Take it in its
simplicity and It's deprivations, and you have not
stepped from its endearng charms.

the County Road both leading to Lockport about 10
miles distant l am thus particular, because this
road my patience was more severely tried and my
suferugs more "intoerable" than on any other ten
miles Of read ever travelled with the exception of a
horseback ride on the shores of Lake Michigan, be-
tween st. Joseph City and New Buffalo, during Vi
lent storm in June 1886. Intending to take the turn
pike made inquiries, and was directed to stake the
most Travelled road leading straight to Iockport" AS
Travelled on the road separated into tCo, diverking
from each other at so slight an angle that it was
impossible to ascertain which led most directly to the
place Such thing as "guide board" is as little
known here as between Poultney, Granville and Sand
I gate in New York, where the resident people won
der at the suggestion of the need of guide boarC
among multitude of angling roads, because thel
know the way so "eGSy" AS the road leading to thu
"right" appeared to be the most "baveled" road, Sc
ected that and continued onward. In few miles
came to clearing and was informed by some mel
that was on the county road but that it as goo
road and as short distance to Lockport the turn
pike. A mile or so further met with similar an
swer, with the addition that it led through piece c
woods "rather wet in a wet time, but advised md t
take it in preference to the turnpike by all means.
As it was near sunset I pursued my way dilligontl
and at length came to dense forest with deep niue
soil which constant succession OF heavy rains for tn
last twenty days had converted into black gloom
swamp. A narrow space was barely cut through tn
woods as an apology for road, which bore 10 ev
dence of recent travel. On the first few rods Of tn
road (which tried my horse sunk at every step,

proceed at a slow walk. Finding it impossible
travel the road turned into the woods, dismounte
and led my horse for miles, vending my way aroun
cutters, runs of water, quag mires and fallen tree
and sinking or less at every step in mnd and VIZ
ter. Darkness now began to close in, but not HI
man being or habitation to be found in the RET
for miles, while onward was total blank of unce

"Servile DOaghfaceso

The denunciaticns of Gen. Cass by the
feds and abolitionists are as severe as they
can tind languaue 10 express themselves
They call him ''a northern man with
southern principles''-a "servile dough-
tace''-a ''truckler to the slave power"
&c., &C., and yet these men express will.
lingness to support Van Buren for Presi-
dent. Now it will be recollected that these
same men applied the same epithets to
Van Buren, in former days. AS a sample
we give an extract frem speech made in
Congress, in ls43, by Mr.. Giddings. In
that speech he said:
"Sir, | may be led to conGde in the hon.
or Of slave-holder; but a 'servile dough-
face is loo destitute of that article to..obtain
credit with me. Mr. Van Buren, has placed
the evidence Of his SERVILIrY conspic-
uously upon the records of our country -
There it will REMAIN, and will be re-
garded as an enduring memento Of tho de-
generacy Of thela &c, and of the MAN who
filled our public stations"
What Democrat is soft enough to be
prejudiced against Gen. .Cass by these men,
Or wheedled into the support Of Van Buren,
now that he has deserted the democratic
party? No one we think.-TrunabuH

mas already cured many such cases, and will Ger.
tainly restore many more from the grasp of the
''grim vlsaged monsler,'' if those afflicted will
but try it,.
Do not say, 81 have tried this or that and it
DID me no good, but try this; dif, after using
it., you are not in some measure restored, then
you may we'll despair
EAsTMAN's CONCENTRATED BALsAM OF WILD
CHERRY has cured many cases. Here is the
proof I'D short. The certificates are in full a.
round each bottle.
Robert Garter, Of GAINESVILLE, Ohio, was attack
ed with pain in the side, hard dry cough and
difficulty in breathing. These symptoms in
creased rapidly, until at last he was brought to
that fearful stage where the cold night sweats
commenced which presage speedy dissolution
of the spirit from the body. AT this time he com.
menced using Eastman's Concentrated Basam
of Wild Cherry, having previously used many
remedies 10 no purpose, Before he had used one
single bottle, he was restored to complete health,
and has continued so ever since. Read bis Ger
tifcate on the wrapper.
r. F. Crowell, OF Putnam, Ohio. certifes that
he was cured Of a severe and distressing cough,
pain in the side, shortness Of breath, and night
sweats, by the use of Eastman's concentrated
Balsam of Wild Cherry. His cough and op-
preston for breath was severe that he could
not lie down.
Mahlon Davis, of Decr6eld, Morgan county,
cline for six or seven years, with severe cough,
pain in the side and chest, and other symptoms
indicating Cor sumption. She tried various REM
edies, among which she used seven bottles ol
Wislar's Balsam of Wild Cherry which was no
of the least benefit to her. She, as last resort
(and as many others will do,) got bottle Of
Eastman's Concentrated Balsam of Wild Cherry
| nd was cured.

list of cures effected by this medicine, but o.

more would not strengthen your belief. These
certificates are not fictitious stories, got up fo
the purpose of selling the medicine. Ifyor
