We are called upon to chronicle the
absence, in our midst, of a venerable OBJ
jec: of regard; and one that has butfeted
the storms of fifty winters a friend to the
poor, powerful auxiliary in the cause Of
temperance, charitable universally, who
was never known to refuse cup of cold
water to the needy-a fast friend 10 man
and beast. He departed yesterday, in the
vigor Of health, and possessing all the en-
ergy of his early manhood and the place
which knew him shall know him no more,
The remains were taken possession of by
order of the Mayor; and it is supposed
they will undergo ''the process Of crema-
tion," The pure waters Of Cochit,sate
have, strange to say, been the death ofour
old friend. He was abandoned by those,
whom he had freely refreshed and given
10, Of his abundance, for half a century, on
the very day that an upstart little hydrant
took up its residence in his neighborhood.
This is the way of the world. One by
one his old acquaintance dropped off; and
deserted him for the new conner until no
one took him by the arm, or offered him a
friendly salute. His voice grew choked
and husky towards the last, emitting a
creaking sound expressive Of deep afflic-
ton. Being no longer Of any use in the
world, ii seemed TO say,
snpcrfuous iass the veteran on the stage,
All, let 60, since hydrans are the rsge :"
Yes, the old pump, which has stood op-
posite 657 Washington street, at the South
End, for the last fifty or sixty years, has
disappeared. No more shall the heat ID
| schoolhoy, on summer days, quench his
thirst, at its willing mouth. No more
shall the hard-handed laborer, the hodu. an
or the street-sweeper, lift its iron handle.
and quaff the, crystal draught. Farewell,
old friend! You are but type, after all,
of the changes rapidly going on around us
in this wonder working age. Where are
the old yellow -panelIed stage coaches
from all parts of New England, that used
TO rattle through our streets? Super
seded by the railroad car! Where are
the little packet sloops and schooners, in
which we used to got bingham, Glou-
ces,er and other towns on the bay, in days
lang >yne? Converted to other uses-to
mackerel-catching, or s'one-ireigMinS--
by the introduction Of the steamboat y
Where is the old ink -balle Thrown in.
TO disuse by the roller! Where is the
old firesiae, with its brass and-irons P
Expelled for the modern furnace! Blu

if we do not stop short. And SO oil
pump, in bidding you farewell, let it b
understood that host Of other old friend
are included in our benediction!

After consuming the morning hours ori
amendments TO the Census bill; Mr.. Will
mot asked that the Committee ofthe Whole
take up the consideration of,he California
message, 10 enable him TO make few re-
marks. BY Unanimous consent. the Gen.
sus bill was then laid aside ard the mes
sage taken up. Tile members drew around
Mr. Wilmot, and the confusion which pre-
vailed subsided into respectful attention.
Mr. Wilmot then Said, that debate on
the shhject Of California, and th. great
questions concerned with IL, had in his
judgment produced wonderful results.
The settled and fixed purpose Of Southern
men had been discovered, and there was
no doubt as 10 the termination Of the con-
fict: it was to extend slavery over terrific
ries. II there was any rooih Tot dohbs
heretofore, there was doubt no longer.
There was no question more franght with
consequences than the ultimate decision Of
that now in hand, and j. to determine the
character and position Of the Southern por

other question, viz: whether the govern

most on madness. They are bound BY no

Of their object, and that is the perpetuity
Of slavery. There is no disguise in this.
The existence OF the Union, and the sta

Of threatening and defiance must be tesis-

the line Of our duty be prescribed, under
the pressure of reasonable threats? Shall
we be told what we shall or shall noe dc,

Dissolve the Union! Never.

BY REV. E. JONES, A. III.
Dissolve the Union never!
,Twere e,en madman's part,
7he golden chain to secer
Which girdIes Frcedom's heart;
What! faction rear her altar,
And discOrd wave her brand,
And hearts from duty falter.
At party's base demand!
Look up--'tis freedoms Temple
You long to overthrow;
And il your arms uplined,
4 demon prompts the bloso.
Think every radiant column
Has cost q patriots blood,
And would you have them shattered,
Where long in pride they stoodf
That fiag--the honored pennon,
31irrored in every sea;
What would you quench one beaming star
Nor sink in infamy2
Rend it--and e'en its speechless fold,
So mercilessly riven,
Like nsarty,ed AbeFs blood, tcould cry
For vengeance to the Heaven!
Dissolve the Union! never!
You may not. if you would;
Go, traitor 60 forever,
And hide you where you should;
For he who breathes dissension,
To shake the peoples trust,
Should cover back to nothingness,
Or crumble into dust.

1t would appear that time out Of mind,
it has been the habit Of my good parish
toner's, and their fathers before them, TO
pay half the minister's salary in presents.
Doubtless, in the good ancient days, when
my parish was in its infancy Git is now
one hundred years or more old, and the
good people were simple and agricultural
in their habits, the custom was proper
and healthy one for l find on turning 10
an old parsonage expense book, kept by
my predecessor Of eighty years ago, that
he acknowledges the receipts in one
quarter Of a year, as follows:
Fourteen bushels Of corn.
Two loads of fodder. ....
One ton Of meadow hay.
One barrel of flour. ..
-Four bacon'hams.
Three cured sides. .- ..
One CARLOAD Of pumpkins.
Three loads Of wood, corded.
One sheep.
Two quilted connterpane..
One new hat with lace.
One pair breeches and paste buckles.
A two year old heifer.
Such were the sturdy gifts made 10
their minister by the forefa,hers Of my
parishioners. But time, and people, and
tastes have changed. Then all the con-
gregation were farmers, and gave of such
as they produced. Bnt now there are moi
three farmers in my parish. The village
has become large town, and pianos have
taken the place Of the spinning wheel
With the change Of times, unfortunately,
there has been no change in the mode Of
paying the minister's salary. 1t is now
half money, and the other half in presents!

CHEESE MAxINc IN AsurABuLA.-A
CORES spondem OF the Ohio Cuhiirofor thus
writes of cheese making in. Ashtabula
county:
The dairymen of this eo:iu'y are just
commencing operations should the sea-
son be favorable for grass, there will be
vast quantity of cheese produced in this
section Of Cheesedom. There are 39
towns in this county. In 26 o: these, in
1913, there were Ia 1898 cows employed
in dairies. In that year there were made
from these cows and sold, 2,4Sl tons of
cheese and l6l tons Of butter. The aver
age price of cheese was cents per pound,
and 10 cents for butter. Owing to a Sc
vers drought last year, which caused a
partial failure of grass in the pastures, the
amount produced in lS49 probably fell be-
low that of lS4S. You will see that the
amount produced TO each COW is over 300
pounds Of cheese, and not quite % pounds
of butter. However, this does net in
clude the amount consumed by the makers
in their own families. Among those who
keep no other stock but cows, the calves
are killed at four or FIVE days old. The
SKIN and runnet are saved. but the car
cass is fed 10 hogs or thrown away to be-
come the food OF crows.
The slaughterirg Of calves is regarded as
the most unpleasant part of the labor OF
the dairyman. The practice is opposed
TO the improvement Of cur breeds OF cattle.

Lore for the Dead.-The love that snrvi-
YES the tomb, says Irving is the most noble
attribute of the sonl. Ii it has woes, it
has likewise its delights and when the
overwhelming burst of grief is luIlrd in
sudden anguish and convulsive agony over
the present ruins of all we most loved,
are sof,ened away into pensive ned'ta-
tions of all that it was in the days OF its
loyeliness. Who would root such sorrow
from the heart though it may sometimes
throw passing cloud over the bright
eyes of gaicty,or spread deeper sadness
over the hours Of gloom, yet who would
exchange it for the song of pleasure or the
burst of revelry? No! There is voice
from the tomb sweeter than song ;-there
is remembrance of the dead, TO which
we turn even from the charm Of the living.
