MIR. Peppard said that we already had in
the employ Of the senate three Sergeants and
assistants, and three or four messenger boys,
and from the amount of labor they had TO
perform, he was opposed to an addition
That he had understood this matter to be
pressed by individuals who wish the appoint

Mr., Mungen said that he had no friends
who wished the appointment. He did not
like to have his motives impugned, that we
needed the assistants, and he despised this
s'Piea yune Butler" business, that would re-
fuse The appointment; that members would
ret up and gas about nothing for hAlfa day,
and spend more money than would pay the
assistants during the whole session. Other
Legislatures had what they wanted in this
way.

We are profoundly penetrated with the
idea" that the statute forbidding cruelty to
animals is based upon humane instincts of
our nature. II comports with the beEef-
cient tendencies of civilization, and the be-
nign influences under whose reign our age
is distinguished above all former times for
progress. TO that statute we hope we do no
violence, at least in a literal point Of view,
by repeating the fact announced at the head
Of this notice, unpleasant as it may be to the
late wing party. We ara not apt to grow
weary Of well-doing, or we should have be-
come somewhat tired of quoting Democrat
ic victories. But the majority given by the

he purchases decent clothing for himself and

provides good furniture; he buys a few books;
takes his family to a place of worship; and
if not content with beng clean and decent
amongst surrounding dirt and wretched

TO TEKE DEAD.
by ]. G. C. Brainsri

How nany now are dead to me
That live to others yet
How many are alive to me
VINO crlnble in their graves, nor see
That sickening, sinking look, which we,
III dead, can ne'er forget.
Beyond the blue seas, far away,
Most wretchedly alone,
One died in prison, far away,
-oh here stone on stone shut out the d. V,
And never hope or comforts ray
In his lone dungeon shone.
2 Dead to the world alive to me-
Though months and years have pass'G;
In = lone hour, his sigh to me
Comes like the hum Of some wild bee.
3 And then his form ard face see,
As when | saw him last.
And one, with bright lip and check.
And eye, is dead TO me.
How pale he bloom of his smooth cheek!
lis lip was cold-it would not speak:
lis heart was dead-for it did not break:
And his eye, for it did not see.
Then for the living be the tomb,
And Cor the dead, the smile;
EnErave oblivion on the tomb
OF pulseless life and deadly bloom;
DIM is such glare, but bright the gloom
Around the funeral pile.
