PARODY ON THE LAST ROSE OF
SUMMER.

IT'S the last cake of supper,
Left steaming alone,
All its light brown companions
Are buttered and gone.
No cake of its kindred
No cookie is nigh,
To steam on the platter,
Or near its mate lie.
I'll not leave thee, thou lone one,
To meet q COLD fate,
Since thy mates are all eaten,
Come lie on my plate
Thus kindly I'll butter
Thy steaming sides Ger,
And think OIL thy sweetness
When thou art no more.
Thus all cakes must follow,
Three times every day,
When breakfast is ready
They vanish away;
When hunger is mighty
And sickness has flown,
No cake can inhabit
The table alone.

Keuzie family, confessed that, after the elder
members of the family had been butchered,
a little girl, about three years old, innocent
ly held up her doll and offered it to him if
he would not kill her. The little innocent's
offer was refused, and the inhumau monster

WHAT IRIS MADE Up OF.-The census
of the United States shows that we have
two millions and half farmers, one hundred
thousand merchants, sixty-four thousand ma
sons, and nearly two hundred thousand car
penters. We have fourteen thousand bakers
to make our bread twenty-four thousand
lawyers to set us by the ears; forty thousand
doctors to skill or cure" and fifteen hundred
editors to keep this motley mass in order,
by the power of public opinion controlled
and manufactured through the press.

JOHN ANDERSON, MY 10.

This exquisite ballad, constructed by Rob
ert Burns out of different and somewhat
exceptionable lyric, has always left some
thing to be wished for and regretted it is
not complete. But who would venture to
add to song of Burns? As Burns left it,
it runs thus
John Anderson, my io, John,
When we were first acqnent,
Your locks we're like the raven.
Your bonnie brow was brent;
But now your brow is bald, John,
Your locks are like the snaw;
But blessings on your frosty pow,
John Anderson, my jo.
John Anderson, my jO, John,
We clamb the hili thegither;
And mony cnnty day, John,
We've had wi ane anither:
Nowwe maun tGtter down, John,
But hand in hand we'll 60,
And sleep thegither at the foot,
John Anderson, my jo.
Fine as this is, it does not quite satisfy a
contemplative mind: when one has gone 50
far, he looks and longs for something more
something beyond the .toot Of the hM-
Many reader of Burns must have felt this;
and it is quite probable that many have at
tempted to supply the deficiency; but we
know of only one Success in so hazardous an
experiment. This is the added verse -
John Anderson, myjo, John,
When we have slept thegither
The sleep that a maun sleep, John,
Well wake wi ane anither:
And in that better warld. John
Nae sorrow shall We know;
Nor fear we eer shall part again,
John Anderson, my jo.

and nothing to spare precisely harmonic.

ing them BY the fact Of completing them
This poctical achievement is attributed to
Mr.. Charles Gould, gentleman of our
town, whose life has been chiefly devoted to
the successful combination of .fgures-but
not figures of rhetoric. The verse was
written some years ago, but it has not hither-
to found its way into print yet it we'll de-

song in any future edition Of Burns's Poems,
and we hope some publisher will act on this
suggestion.

~ cRTrrENDEN ANp MR. ELL

There is something remarkable, says the Balti-
more Republican, in these course Of the Senators which
must elicit the attention Of the country. Both Of
them are acting against the known sentiment Of
the States which they were sent to the Senate
to represent. Mt. ORITTEEDEE feels and knows
that his days are numbered, and be svails himself
Of the last opportunity which he is likely to have to
show his unmitgsted hostility to the Democratic par
ty, which has triumphed in Kentucky, and
thus ensured his rstiraoy from the Senate. His
course is vindiotve, factOus, and altogether anti
republican, opposition to the sentiment of his
own State, and war with the interests Of the ns-
ton at large. The position Of Mr.. BELL is even
more objectionable. Not only is the voice Of Ten
nessee against him, but he has been publicly and Off
ciay called upon BY the Legislature of the State to
leave the post where be is so VIGOROUSLY misrepre
senting his immediate constituents. This request
Mr.. BELL refuses to comply with, and tilimpudent-
y and obstinately continues his efforts in the
Of faction.
There are rare examples in the history Of our
country, where the doctrine is generally received
that the representative is bound by the viii Of his
constituents Ifby any mental hslluoinstion, Messrs
. LAAIIhhbEh anu DELL nave DAVAEAt AAeAb6LFta 70
feel it matter of conscience to oppose the views
known to be held by their several States as honors
bic men they should promptly resign their seats, and
let those come in who can cOnsciendOusly obey the
instructions which have been given. It is said the
Abolitionists and OpPOstOnists generally are quite
delighted with the conduct of Messrs CRITTEEDEE
and BELL snd felioitate themselves upon the aequi
siton Of such champions to their factiOus pur-
poses We think that every honest friend Of our
republican institutions must condemn them for their
departure from the duties Of 3 representative and
open violation Of the wishes Of their constituents
They will both leave the Senate with the brand upon
them, 60 into private life with sgt regard from any
portion Of our cOunuymeni even those who now lsud
them for their dsobedience viii, when they can no
longer aid them, join in denOuDcing them for it /;
while those whom they have knowingly misrePre-
scented, will ever look upon them traitors and IN
worthy Of confidence

One Of The resolutions is as follows
AN ELOQUENT RETORT.

In his late able speech in the Senate of the United
States, Mr. HAMMOND, Of South Carolina, made the
following eloquent and whitening retortupon SEWARD
for his remark that the South had always controlled
the Union heretofore, but that the sceptre was to
part from it now forever: ''You complain lsaid
Mr.. HAuMoSD) of the rule Of the South that has
been another cause that has preserved you. We
have kept the Government conservative to the great
purposes Of Government We have placed her, and
kept her. upon the Constitution; and that has been the
cause of your peace and prosperity The Senator from
New York says that this is bout be end that you
intend to take the Government from us-that it will
pass from our hands. Perhaps what be says is true
it may be- but do not forgst-it can never be for
gotten-I is written on the brightest page Of human
hstory-that We the shareholders Of the South, took
country in her infancy, and after ruling her for
sixty Of the seventy years Of her existence, we
shall surrender her to you without 8 stain upon her
honor, boundess in prosperity, incsculable in her
strength, the wonder and the admiration Of the
world. Time will show what you will make Of her;
but no time can ever diminish our glory or your re-
sponsibility."

THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED
STATES

STATES.
The business Of this tribunal has increased with
the population and commerce of the country, until
some measure Of relief is necessary to enable its
Judges TO clear its dockets At the present term Of
the Court there are upon the docket, two hundred
and si1ty-eight causes, Of which q third may posi-
bly, be heard and disposed Of during the term. The
Washington Union attributes the slow progress OF
the Court, in comparison with that which is made by
the State Courts, to the constitution Of the Court
and the great multitude Of laws widely differing in
their character which IL is compelled to administer
Il contends that some change is necessary, both to
relieve the Court and its sultors and gives the fol-
lowing as among those which have been suggest
ed:
1. To relieve the Judges of the Supreme Court
from circuit duties and require them 10 devote their
whole time to cases in bank
D To urohibit appeals and Writs Of error in cases
where less than Eve or ten thousand dollars are in
3 Not 10 allow the review Of any case, except
where the Constitution, laws and treaties Of the
United states, o. the laws Of nations, or admiralty
Law, are iuvOlyl d
a The estabI,,Bment Of sn Inferior Court, to re-
view and finally determine certain classes Of cases,
like those arising upon contract except those called
maritime, and upon patents for useful inventions,
and leaving only the residue for the Supreme Court
To cut of a considerable portion Of the Juusdio-
ton Of the district and circuit courts ana merely
lessen the number Of cases which can be removed

wider FIELD Of action; as, for instance, to exclude
from The jurisdiction Of the national courts cases
arising upon ordinary contracts, growing out OF

Bridger. Each wagon will carry $4,000 TBS weight,
and 1920 oxen will be required for the service. We
also learn from good authority that the contractors
have no doubt that the train will reach its destina-
ton before the 18th of May, and in good time to
supply the troops with everything Of which they
may stand in need, prior to the commencement Of
their march TO Salt Lake.

HEALTHY ISDICATIoNs-The Philadelphia Press
learns from large firm "thst within the past week
there have been, to their own certain knowledge,
three merchants in that city to make their spring
purchase, who were obliged to return to their homes
without buying dollar, and this because they had
no money and had taken satisfactory steps to re-
deem their credit. These cases, remarks the Press
have been referred to by old and experienced mer-
chants as being without precedent in past bust
ness experience. Heretofore there have been nc
applicants for credit whose antecedents however
bad, were sufficient to exclude them from the con-
idenoe of ALL but this game of hazard Of our bust
ness men, in trusting anybody and everybody for
the sake Of swelling the aggregate of annual sales
has at last resulted in its own defeat"

How TO CUT THE KEoT-Mr. Senator Bell wants
to know how we can cut the GOrdisn knot Of Kan
politics? We are free to admit that it will re-
quire sharper instrument than Mr.. Bell carries
about him. The Senator from Tennessee, however,
is improving; all parties concurring that the very
first hour of his speech indicated clearly on which
side of the question he was to be found. Mr. Bell
will find on inquiry at the republican head quarters
that the GOrdian knot Of Kansas politics was tied
by the sboliionists, who have set Mr.. Bell over it
to protect and guard it from Democratic edgetOols

CONSUMPTION Paris correspondent of the
New York Herald says:
An interesting paper the properties of the
sap of the pine tree has just been published in the
Abeille Medicale in reference to its curative effect
on that terrible soourge of humanity in America
consumption. DR.. Desmartis, of Bordeaux, is the
author and quotes the result Of four years expert
ence One is an instance Of young lady who was
obliged to give up her revels account Of phthisie
which was hereditary in her family; her mother
father sister, and other relations having all died Of
the disorder She was afflicted with violent reich
ing and splitting Of blood, and all these symptoms
of an advanced pulmonary complaint were sscer-
tanned by auscultatiOn. The splitting of blood was
stopped in the course Of FIVE days by administering
one gramme of powdered rue per day. DR.. Des-
martis considers rue (rut graTeOlens to be Of
the best ant-hasmOtatics known. After which the
patient took q bottle Of pine sap per day for the
space of two months and half at the end of which
time her strength had returned her cheeks had re-
sumed their former healthy condition, and every
alarming symptom had disappeared. The patient
has suffered no relapse. The author quotes Immune
rabe other instances. He says that pain in the chest
is not sssuaged in the chest unless accompanied by
friction of the following composition: oil Of rue,
one hundred grammes essence of rue, twenty five
Rrammes; concentrated tinctUre Of sloes, one hun
bred grammes. Pine sap generally purges the be-
gnner but this effect, which seems to be purely eli
minative soon ceases. Its analytical proportions

TIE NORTHERN DEMOCRACY.

The meeting Of the Rhode Island Democratic
Convention, last week. was characterized by an en-
tire unsnimity Of sentiment the great question of
the day. Resolutions were passed without dissent,
declaring the Democratic party to be the only na-
tional or anti sectional as well as conservative party
and that its continued ascendanoy is essential to the
permanency ofthe Union. They express unimpairsd
confidence in Mr.. BUCHANAN and approve of his for
sign and domestic policy and proclaim the right Of
the people Of every State to change its organic law
They recommend the immediate admission of Kansas
under the LeOOmptOn Constitution, considering that
even if its opponents we're the majority, they were
precluded by their neglect Of voting from Directing
to it, and that all differences respecting it may now
be more readily settled under State than Terrific
rial organization.
The ticket nominated is the strongest which has
been presented for many years. Mr. DUNCAN, Of
Providence candidate for Governor, and who is well
known as the head Of the firm of DgHoAS SHBRmAE
q Co. holds position in the respect and confidence
OF his feloW-citzens Of Rhode Island second to no
other. E. R. POTTER, the candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, is gentleman of high education and &C.
oOmpshments and formerly represented his district
in Congress.
One Of the resolutions is as follows;
"Res0lrsl, That the Territorial government Of
Kansas having called Convention to make q Con-
situtiOn preparatory to the admission Of the Terri
tory State and the Convention having submitted
that portion Of the Constitution which 50 intensely
sgitated the Territory and the country to the people
for adoption OrreJeeGon and the proceedings having
been generally dIsregarded by the party alleged to
be a majority Of the v0ters-thus showing to the
world that they Indifferent TO the course they
protested to respect and evincng desire TO prevent
an adjustment Of the great question at issue-it is
eEpedient for Congress 20 admit Kansas into the
Union immediately, under the sO-Called LecomptOn
Constitution, inssmUch the people Of Kansas can
more readily shape their domestic institutions TO
suit themselves under State than under 8 Terrific

THE OLD GUN AND THE MINNIE RRLE.-I learn
from the best authority from the War Department
ITSELF that growing disinclination exists towards
the use in the armyand navy Of the Minnie rife and
the breeeh loading arms in general The old fash
toned single barrel, loaded in the old fashioned
way, proves, after all, the most effective in
strument in the hands of soldiers and marines.
Gradually the use Of all others will be abandoned.
Of course the best improvements in printing and in
we shall ever return to the old flint lock, when we
have the wafer primers so arranged that a musket
may be fred fifty times with but a single charge
of primers. This matter is now brought to such
perfection that q common musket may be loaded
and fired about as rapidly a breech loading arm,
and with much less danger Of any disarrangement.-
