LOVER STILL.-"No longer a loverP
exclaimed an aged patriarch. "Ahl you
mistake me if you think age has blotted
out my heart. Though these silver
hairs fall over brow all wrinkled and
cheek all furrowed yet 1 am a lover
still. l love the beauty of the maiden's
blush. the soft tint of flowers, the sing.
ing of birds, and above all, the silver
ring in the glad laugh of child. ]

ter cups grow with the same enthusiasm,
as when with my hair flying loose in
the wind, my cap in hand, years ago !
chased the painted butterfly. l love
yon aged dame. Look at her. Her
face is care-worn, but it has ever held a
smile for me. Often have shared the
bitter cup of sorrow with her-and SO
shared it seemed almost sweet. Years
of sickness have stolen the freshness oi
her life, but, like the faded rose, the
perfume of her love is richer than
when in the full bloom of youth and
maturity.
Together, we have placed buds in
the pale folded hands of the dead, to-
gether, wept over little graves. Thro'
storm and through sunshine we have
clung together; and now as she sits
there with her knitting, her cap quaint
ly frilled, the old style kerchief crossed,
white and brim about the heart that has
beat so long, and SO truly for me, the
dim blue eye that shrinkingly fronts
the glad day, the sunlight. throwing
her parting farewell, kisses her brow,
and leaves on its faint traces of wrin-
kles, angelic radiance. 1 see, though
no one else can, the bright, glad young
face that won me first, shine through
those withered features and the growing
love of forty years thrills my heart till
the tears come.
Say not sgain l can no longer be q
lover. Though this form is bowed,
God has implanted eternal love within

Finally; in parting from this people.
we are comforted with the hope that we
have been permitted to do work here
of permanent value-a work that the
adversary will never be able to undo
For souls converted he cannot destroy;
and truth proclaimed, received, and
obeyed, he cannot annul.
We have been permitted to deny eur
selves somewhat of the comfort COM
mon in other sections of the land, and
to endure a measure Of hardness as
soldiers of Christi snd, for this we feel
thankful. We have been permitted to
do work for this people which will
never have to be done over again; and
though to some extent humble and un-
pleasant one. we feel that in the sight of
our Great Master, it may be as i'm
portant, and as honorable, as the work
Of him who, in after years, shall be per-

and showers of divine grace may cause

We are now about to leave this field
of labor, not because we are tired of

lot love this people; but because the
health of Mrs. Gates has failed so far,
hat we think it our duty to seek place
and circumstances where there will be a |

1t is with sorrow that we take leave

Let the bright blossoms wither
With my little silent heart,

A mourner's dress you must wear,
For its hues will tell
That you loved me well,
Though I'm silently slumbering there.

Has grown still in death,
Let her words come fresh and dear
"Let your love be the blossoms,
For my little early grave,
For loved you SO tenderly here"
Oil mother, sad mother,
Mother, shed no tear,
For your child shall be given
To your fond heart in Heaven,
For you loved her so tenderly here.
Place the flowers on her breast,
Lay her down to her rest,
In the shade where the birds shall sing,
And the wild flowers blossom
Round her little quiet grave,
Like her own sunny smile in spring.
Oh! mother, fond mother,

Let the bright flowers blossom

For she loved you so tenderly here.

done in large circular boilers Of iron.
Just before it begins to crystalize. they
throw into the boiler small lump Of
butter as big as a walnut. and a half
pint Of our milk that has stood a wear.
When they wish the crystals large and

This spring is said to be eighty feet deep.
but Its waters are SO transparent that 1t

twenty. The bottom can be seen very
distinctly by placing the eyes near the
water, and fish can be seen In great num-
bers floating lazily about. The bottom
is covered with rich carpeting cf moss.
which appears inged with all colors. and
is the most beautiful natural curiosity I
ever saw. there are on this splendid
carpet several large spots, varying in size
and shape; one | noticed was in the

diamonds set in fine wrought silver, and
add greatly TO the overwhelming beauty

PURE AND IMPURE GAs.-It sthe dptv
of our municipal authorities, saws the
Scientific American, to see that slch citv
is supplied with pure gas for illumination.
They should, therefore, not unfreouently
have the gas as it comes from the burn.
tr pipes, analyzed by competent chrm-
ist. We are confident that much of the
gas which is supplied by our city gas
companies is impure. All Goals contain
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen: and
bltuminous Goals in general contain
some sulphur. In the dlstillation of coal
to produce illuminating gas. a considsrs.
BILE quantity Of ammonia comes over.
which, If not completely separated, is
carried off with the gas. and detrscts
from Its illuminating powers. 1t is also
injurious to the people by mixing with
the atmosphere, and beng inhaled at ey.
cry respiration. Being exceedingly vol.
atile, and yet not difficult to cnndense
much of 1t escapes through leaks in the
gas conductors, and condenses in the soil
beneath the streets and buildings: this
Is evident when any of our streets are
trenched for the purpose of examining
pipes or opening drains. An odor Of
ammonia is always observable for a con-
siderable space around an exposed exca-
vatlon. If this is the case now. how
much worse must the evil be in nine or
ten years from the present date!
The continued accumulation of sucb
an impurity in the soil beneath our
streets, will, in the course Of time, find
It's way into drains, ooze out into the at.
moSphcre and pollutc it. Nothing but
pure carburated hydrogen should ever be
>uiiered to pass from the gas reservoirs
INTO the conducting pipes; every impurity
should be removed from il in the course
OF the manufacture. IF there is any sui.
phur in the coal from which gas is made.
il results in the production Of sulphuric
acid, which, if not separated in the puri-
iier, such product will injure books aud
cotton fabrics which may be in the apart
ments where gas is burned. Camel
coal being free from suIpherets, is to be
preferred for making gas; and If cur gas
companies do MT now use the American
cannel in place of bituminous coal, thew
exhibit an amazing want Of good sense
and sound information in relation to the
best kind of coal to employ in their bu2-
mess.
