Lest we be driven from Thy face
Forevermore. undone."

My children, upon this devious and eventful
pilgrimage, you are to enter now unshielded,
by the sacred home, which has, so long, been
your shelter. From its privacy, its peacefulEess,
its purity, its piety; the sound of it's continual
scriptures, the music of its continual songs the
ferver gifts continual suppcations, the fragrance
of its continual sacraments: you are to go out
into world which cares, but little for these
things / thank God, for the inestimable conf
dence that their roots have taken, in your
hearts. | look to Him, to water, with His
grace, these paintings of His word I beseech
Him, mercifully, to grant, that they may live,
and grow, in you: nurturing your souls, with
spiritual and immortal food; sheltering your
young heads, with their broad, cool, shadows,
against the hot blasts of temptation and cheer
ing you on, with their refreshing fragrance,
through whatever He may order, for your chas-
tening, as His children, until they bring you,
where, the palms of Paradise spring up forever
green, by the pure river of the water of life Re-
member, nay beloved you have not these inesti-
mable blessings, for yourselves, alone You
hold them as sacred trust, for your homes,
for the Church, for your country, and for your
kind. "The times are out Of joint" Corrup-
has, well nigh, lost its shame Infdelty is bold
and brazenfaced The wave of barbarism is
rolling back, upon us. For these things, your
own sex is greatly answerable. Women are not
true, to themselves. They wink at vice They
make compromise with worldEness They
tolerate irreligion. And they are the victims of
their own unfaithfulness The stronger sex look
up, IN best things, to weaker. They have, all,
had mothers. They have, all, had sisters. They
own them, IN the sex, to which, thev owe them.

RAT SPoRT.-There was some great rat snort
on the steamboat landing last evening A large
quantity of corn in sacks, piled on timbers
where the river soaked up through the platform,
were removed. It was found that the food had
driven whole colony ofwater rats above the
platform, and that they were holding high car
nival under the corn pile. A miscellaneous
crowd of over hundred people, and two terrier
dogs, were engaged about an hour in routing
the pesky little "varmints" The sport was

In memory of
GEN. JOHN CADWALADER.
Who died, February 10, 1856,
At Shrewsbury his seat in Kent County,
In the 44th year of his age.
This amiable and worthy Gentleman,
Had served his country
With reputation,
In the character ola
Soldier and Statesman;
lie took an active part, and had principal
Share, in the late Revolution,
And although he was Jealous in the cause
Of American Freedom,
His conduct was not marked with thu
Least degree of malevolence, or party spirit.
Those who honestly differed from him,
he always treated with singular tenderness,
In sociability, and cheerfulness of temper.
Honesty and goodness of heart,
Independence of spirit, and warmth of
Friendship,
He had no superior,
And few, very few equals
Never did any man die more lamented
BY his friends, and Neighbors;
To his family and near relations,
His death was stroke still more severe.

GREAT MORTALITY OF Hoes IN ILLINOIS -
Mr. Wiley Grafton farmer of Pleasant Plains
sangamon county, writes to the State Register
under the date of May 5th, as follows:
Last night fed my hogs as usual; they all
seemed to be feeding and doing well on pasture
went to the pasture this morning about O'Clock
and found seventy hogs dead, and many that
were dying. At 10 o'clock there were ninety
dead, and at II one hundred and nine The
average length of time that they would live after
taking it, would be from fifteen to thirty minutes
All efforts to administer relief were in vain
The fatal disease is carrying away large num-
bers of hogs in the vicinity of Decatur. It is
said Sangamon-river bottom is covered with their
dead bodies

Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. The claim of that madam
to the estate of the murdered Dr. Burdell was
set at rest forever last Friday in New York. 1t
will be remembered that the surrogate made a
decision against Mrs. Cunningham, holding that
she was not the widow of DR.. Burdell from that
decision Mrs. Cunningham appealed to the Su-
preme Court The matter has been in court for
some time, bnt no further steps were taken by
Mrs Cunningham. On Friday Charles Edwards
ESQ.,, the counsel for the heirs, took an order
dismssing the appeal, for want of appearance on
the part of the lady This put quietus on all
the proceedings and the lady is once more plain
Mrs Cunningham, and not doctors widow.

The late Bishop Doane---His last
Public Address.

The following address, delivered by the late
Bishop Doane to the Graduating Glass of ST.
Mary's Hall III March, is the last of his public
performances. This fact viii increase the inter.
est with which it will be read:
again, the old hive swarms There is a
flush of life upon the grass. There is a scent q
Spring. upon the air. The birds are twttering
back, to their old nests The maple hings its
crimson banner to the sky. The willow bushes
into green. The life pulse can be stied, no lon
ger The life glow can, no longer, be depressed.
There is restless heaving of the mass. There
is a hum There is dutter There is a start.
The old hive swarns, again. And, they are OIL.
Off, to the Northern hills. Off, to the sweet
savannahs of the South. Off, to sip sweetness,
from the flowers. Off, to hoard sweetness, for
their homes, Of, to return no more lit is the
two and twentieth annual swarm. And stand
here: to follow them while eye can reach to
fold their precious memories, in my heart of love
to pursue them with my blessing; and to shield
them, with my prayers. Wherever they may
wing their wandering way, God guide them
keep them; comfort them Poor things They
need it, all.
That were strange map, which traced with
individual lines, these annual swarms, of two and
twenty years. TO China. To South America.
To Great Britain. To the Islands of the sea.
To every STATED and Territory of our own vast
empire To the forests of Maine. To the rice
fields of Georgia. To the sugar-plantations OF
Mississippi To so many happy homes. To SC
many peaceful parsonages. To so many hearths
of contentment. TO so many hearts of love-
Alas, that must add to so many early graves
just, greening, with the SPRING And that were
still stranger map which sketched, as God
looks down, upon them all, the pathways of that
inner life; which each is travelling on, toward
that unseen world, which hangs about us, like
the sky; which in one moment, may close in
upon our souls whose issues are unchanging
and eternal: as the God, Who orders them, in
justice and in mercy.
Beyond this vale of tears,
There is life above
Unmeasured by the fight of years;
And all that life is love-
There is death, whose pang
Outasts the feeting breath
Oh what eternal horrors hang
Around the second death
Lord God of truth and grace,
Teach u.s. that DEATH to shun
Lest we be driven from Thy face;
Forevermore undone

REPUDTArIoN.-At meeting of the taxpayers OF
Grant county, Wisconsin, on the 10th of December,
resolutions were passed accusing the Legislature of
prodigality and extravaganza in the allowance of
unjust bills and in in making appropriations for un-
tax on the labor of the people," They say:
Whereas, We, the Sovereign People, have borne
the burden-sufered our hard earnings to 60 from
u.s. and want for the comforts of life-our children
ragged and unlearned-rather than rebel against
what We deemed unjust exacton, until further COM
pliance ceases to be virtue. As fathers re-
belled against unjust taxation, so will wei We
wish to be law-abiding people, but we want and
will have Justice! We wish peace, but we cannot
purchase it at so high a pricel We express our
selves strongly, for feel its necessity There is
limit beyond which it is not prudent for the State
to go! That limit has been reached! Therefore,
we here, as men, joined in common interest, make
this our PROTEST, namely
That, as Almighty Power has withheld from us
the past seasons supplies, servants, the office
holders, must share our msfortnnes, and that Re-
trenchment and Economy must be in something
more than words and promises.
Amended by resolving to pay no part of any tax,
feither State, county or town, now claimed from us
for this year-and may be none hereafter.
THE GREAT PENSION BILL.-The Washington U,io,,
of Wednesday says: We are not more surprised
than gratifed to witness the strong reproba tion
which the country is visiting upon the bill which
has recently passed the House and is now before
the Senate, for pensioning the legons of soldiers
whose names adorn the muster rolls of the war of
1872; which might be denomnated bill for giving
little of the public money to everybody who will
take the trouble to apply for it, and for establishing
a perpetual High Tariff. The public reprobatioD
of the project general and indignant, and it is so
in quarters where we did not expect to witness
decided a demonstration of feeling against a
measure which everybody here believed was to take
by storm the popular affections. The sums pro-
pssed to be annually distracted by this measure
from the public treasury variously estimated at
frnn n mill oil nfyy oh unsf pf
course be derived from increase of the tariff. 1t
is no other than measure for taxing all the people
for the purpose of giving some of them pensions
from the public purse. 1t rivals in wisdom and
economy the policy of robbing Peter to pay Paul.
