PROCEEDINGS IN THE SENATE.

In the Senate, Mr. Wade. of Ohio, made an
elaborate speech on the resolutions introduced
by Mr.. Brown, of Mississippi, providing for
the protection Of slave property in the Terri
tories, strongly opposing them, and surpass-
ing Seward in the virulencc Of his Black Re-
publican sentiments.
Wade was several times interrupted in the
course of his harangue by Mr.. Toombs, of
Georgia, whose course upon the Terri
torial questions Wade reviewed with much
severity.
He was sharply interroSated by Mr. Toombs,
and several spirited colloquies took place during
the delivery of the speech, which occupied
the attention of the Senate the greater part of
the day.
Nothing important in the way of business

last Wednesday evening, six foot
specimen of back woods Republicanism
entered the room, and was observed to
take unusual interest in the proceed

crowd and examined the speaker from
every post of view, listening all the
while with open mouthed attention to
the scathing denunciations of Demo-
cratic corruption, which fell from the
lips of our Senator.
When the speech was concluded,

Alta Republican meeting in Georgetown, Mass,
the following song entitled 1.-THE Quakers are Out,
written by John G. Whittier, was read:
Not vainly we waited and counted the hours,
The buds of our hope have burst out into flowers
No room for misgiving-no loop-hole for doubt
We've heard from the Keystone The Quakers
are out.
The plot has exploded-we've fonnd out the trick
The bribe goes begging: the fusion won't stick
When the Wide-Awake lanterns are shining about
The rogues stay at home. and the true mem come
outi
The good State has broken the cords for her spun
Her oil springs and water won't fuse into one.
The sDutchmen has seasoned with freedom his
krout
And slow, late but certain, the Quakers come out
Give the flags to the winds set the hills all
alame
Make way for the man with the patriarch's name!
Away with misgivings-away with all doubt,
For LINCOLN goes in when the Qurkers come outl

The injury such" bolters" inf1ict up-

the personal injury inflicted upon the
more innocent victims they seduce into

few, very few, ever "bolted' their

GREETED it sooner or later; and we are
of the opinion there are still less of that

a way not at all pleasant. Their former

friend, without thinking much about it,
or that anybody knew it, much less that
it would ever "come up in, judgment
against them" at distant day. But
SO it is, nevertheless. Very few are Sc
creative enough to "cut' or bolt"
party nominee, and not have it known
to the injured party; and we never
knew a candidate who had been thus
cut that ever forgot the persons who
did it. Thus "bolter" may do incal.
culable injury to entirely innocent par

his level, without accomplishing his
original purpose, and in that way in
fiict great injury upon individuals and
a party.
Men, actuated by selfish personal
views, unwilling to abide the open, fair

Watch I! Watch /! Mother.


Mother! Watch the little feet
Climbing DER the garden wall,
Bounding through the busy street,
Ranging cellar, shed and hall;
Never count the moments lost,
Never mind the time it cost;
Little feet soiU go astray,
Guide them, Mother while you may.
Mother! watch the little hand
Picking berries by the way,
Making houses in the sand,
Tossing up the fragrant hay;
Never dare the question ask.
"Why to me this heavy task? ?"
These same little hands may prove
Messengers of light and love.
Mother! watch the little tongue
Prattling eloquent and wild;
What is said and what is sung
BY the happy, joyous child;
Catch the word while yet unspoken;
Stop the VOW while yet unbroken;
This same tongue may yet proclaim
Blessings in the Savior's name.
Hotherl watch that little heart
Beating soft and warm for you;
Wholesome lessons now irnpart;
Keep, oh! Keep that young heart true
Extricating every weed,
Sowing good and precious seed;
Harvest rich you then may see
Ripening for eternity.

Mr.. Newcomb heard no more. But
was not this enough to give him the
heartache for years? No, he had not
appreciated his wife, now lost to him
forever. She was neither a brilliant
nor handsome woman, but true as
steel to duty. Love for her husband
was passion that involved all the ele-
ments of her life. But the delicacy OF
her perception too soon revealed the
sad truth that for some cause she had
failed to win a love from her husband
in any degree answering to her own.
This so shadowed her feelings that she
often appeared unamiable in his eyes.
when she was only in strife with bitter
anguish. Gradually he became indif-
ferent, and simply because he did not
understand her. He imagined her in
capable of deep affection, when every
chord in her soul was thrilling with too
painful sensibility,
And as the darkened years went on,
and the fevered pulse began to take a
slower beat. Mr.. Newcomb became
more and more indifferent to his nerv-
Gus, and sometimes fretful, but daily
fading wife. Others saw that her days
were numbered; but he did not take
the alarm. "Mrs. Newcomb looks very
thin and Feeble" remarked friend.
'She isn't as strong as she was, but she
is tough" replied the husband. Tough!
at that very moment her heart-strings
were beginning to yield! And he was
in robust health-ruddy faced, clear
eyed. round limbed, and with muscle in
full vigor.
''Tough % Ifshe did linger on for a
time, it was pittying love for her babes
that kept her alive, gave strength to
her feeble limbs, and endurance to her
sinking heart. And as she became
weaker he seemed to recede rather
than draw near-to grow cold toward
her, instead of tender and compassion
ate. And so her days went on through
clouds and rain.
No, she had not been appreciated.
Mr.. Newcomb was a good sort of a
man, taking the general acceptation of
the word-a pleasant neighbor, and
agreeable friend, and honest citizen;
but he had not proved to be good
husband to the woman he had taken to
be his partner for life; simply because
he had not comprehended her quality
nor reached her consciousness. She
was the finer spiritual texture than he
imagined, and died because she could
not live in the earth-laden atmosphere
he compelled her to breathe.
''Not appreciated" There are Mrs.
Newcombs all around us. Their pale
faces haunt us at every turn; their
mournful funerals shadow our streets;
their orphaned babes sit weeping in
many lonely dwelling.
The ruddy-faced Mr.. Newcombs-
smiling, amiable, 'such good company
favorites at every feast-are around al
so. We send word of truth to their
hearts, may its passage be sure and
quick, like the passage Of an arrow.

WHAT SHALL WE DO FOR COFFEE p
1t appears from statistics recently pub
lished, that the consumption of coffee
is increasing much more rapidly than
the production. Last year the total
consumption of Europe and the United
States alone was $4,000 tones, whilst
the production of all countries was but
3l2 900 tons. The probable consump-
tion of the present year is estimated at
337 900, or $4,000 tons short; and of
next year the former at 3z3, 900 tons,
the latter at 345, 900. We hope, with
all our heart, that it will become so
costly that none but those who can af-
ford, without inconvenience, to pay
large doctors bills, can afford to use it,
