parodies are seldom so close to their o
,als as the following upon The Last Ro'
by Moore
IT'S the last golden dollar,
Left shining alone;
All its brilliant companions
Are squandered and gone.
No coin Of its mintage
Reflects back its hue
They went in mint juleps,
And this will go, too,
I'll not keep thee, thou lone one,
Too long in suspense
Thy brothers were melted,
And melt thou to pence
l ask for no quarter,
I'll spend and not spare,
Till my old tattered pocket
Hangs centless and bare
So soon may foller"
When friendships decay,
And from beggary's last dollar
The dimes drop away
When the Maine law has passed,
And the groggeries sink,
What use would be dollars
With nothing to drink

How to mend a Chain Pump.

Chain pumps are much in use at present
They are very good pumps, especially in wells
that are not protected much from the frost, as
they seldom get frozen 50 as to prevent their
operating, unless the water in the we'll itself
freezes. Sometimes, however, the chain breaks
or parts, and then it has been thought necessa-
ry take up the whole pump in order to mend
and replace it. A friendtold us the other day,
a method which he has adopted in such cases
with perfect success. The chain with its
plugs, you know is an endless one, going ever
pulley at the top, down outside the pump
into The water at the lower end of the pump
tube, thence up the tube. Now the chain
parts, it is difficult getting one end over the
lower pulley and up to the other side, unless
you take up the pump to do it.
Take string of sufficient length to reach
from the bottom of the lower pulley to the
surface of the water in the well tie cork to
one end of it, and tie the other end to the chain.
Then winding the string round the cork, put
it into the pump tube, and let the end Of the
chain follow it down. As soon as it gets
down under the pulley, the cork will rise tc
the top of the water in the well, from which
it may be hooked up. The chain will be
haulded up with the string, and the two ends
may then be fastened together in the usual
way.
REMARK. Before the pump tube is placed
in the well it should be fixed at the bottom Sc
that the cork can escape from the tube only
on that side on which you wish to bring u
the chain.-Maine Farmer.
