THE LOVED.

They are going one by one,
From the altar and the hearth,
With the music Of their tone
And the sunlight of their mirth;
With the hopes their bOsoms cherished
With the joys their memory knew.
Hopes that in their radience perished
Like fading flowers or early dew.
Prom the valleys broad and green,
From their mountains stern, vet dear;
From their rivers crystal sheen,
Silently they disappear:
AL the visions Of their dreaming
Fade away and are forgot,
And the brain with wisdom teeniing,
Sinks to earth, and rises not
On the hill side, and the lea,
Forms were sporting are they?
On the air were sounds of glee;
- Blister, ii1eys lTaase passed away; -
Fades the soonest, all that's rarest,
Hopes tho brightest, first decay,
Friends the truest-forms the fairest,
Melt like summer clouds away.

Nature Of the Cholera Poison.-Mr. Simon,
the Medical Officer Of Health for the city of
London, has recently published his annual re-
port, which contains many facts in ragard to
the nature Of the choleta poison. In relation
to the operation of the disease, the report
speaks as follows:
"That which seems to have come to us
from the East is not itself a poison, SO much
as it is a test and touchstone of poison. What
ever in its nature it may be, this at least we
know of its operation: Past millions Of seat
tered population it moves innocuous; through
the unpoiIated atmosphere of cleanly districts
it migrates silently without a blow; that which
it can kindle into poison lies not there. To
the foul, damp breath of. ow-lying cities, it
comes like a spark of FIRE to powder. Here is
contained that which it can swiftly make de-
structve-soaked into soil, stagnant in water,
grimmlng the pavement, tainting the air-the
slow rottenneSs Of unremoved excrement, to
which the first contract of this foreign ferment
brings the occasion of changing into new and
more deadly combinations.

occurred last night in the Twelfth Ward

excitement in the city, and it is feared
may lead to further troubles in that and

The difficulty originated in an attempt
to organize Protestant Sabbath School
in the neighborhood, which was foreibly
resisted by the German Catholics residing
in the vicinity. They attacked and took
possession Of the house which had been
rented for the purpose, ard threatened
death to any person who should attemp,
to organize a Sabbath School there. The
