The number we ind the following, of

''For years, the champions of slavery
have been warning US, that the cranci-

worse off in freedom than in bondage
that they would be ground to powder

The CHOLERA -UalFs J6urnal Ct
Healh gives tho following suggestions,
which de.erve the immediate attention
of all who wish to avoid the scourge Of
cholera, which threatens to attack us next
summer:
lst Every householder owes to himself
to his family, to his neighbors, to the
community in which he resides, to have
his house, from cellar to garret, from
the steeet curb in tha rear line of his lot
most scruPousl7 cleansed, by sweeping,
washing and whits-washing.
I'd. Every man who hasany author lily
in city or town government should con-
slider himself bound by the oath of ofiee
and by every consideration of umanity
to give himself no rest until every street
alley, close gutter and sewer, is placed
in state of as perfect cleanliness as pos
sible, aud kept SO until the irosts OF next
season come.
Sd These cleansipgs should be done
now in February aud March, because.
if put eff until warm weather, the very
effort necessary for the removal of fltb,
will only tend, in the essential nature Of
things, to hasten the appearance Of the
disease, 10 increase its malignity, and to
extend the time of its devas.alions be-
cause the suns Of spring and summer the
sooner warm into life and intensity the
viverio and malignant Influence, which
in its remorseIess tread, wrecks so ruuch
of human happiness and desolates So
many hearthstones.

L had purer record in my own conscience and
above on that subject. Not very long since,
while smoking, as my friends know [ can do
occasionally, two ministers came in and one be-
gan to talk and the other began to cry. As
was smoking and one was crying, the other one
said we ought to pray. 1t seemed very un-
timely and very unseemly, but [ laid the pipe
down and prayed, and prayed for my friend

LILIES.
My soul thy sacred image keeps,
My midnight dreams are all of thee;
For nature then in silence sleeps
And silence broods O er land and sea;
OH in that still, mysterious hour,
How oft from waking dreams start,
To find thee but a fancy flower,
Thou cherish d idol of my heart.
Thou hast each thought and dream of mine
Have in turn one thought of thine?
Forever thine my dreams will be,
Whate' er may be my fortunes here,
ask no love-I claim from thee
Only one boon-a gentle tear;
May e'er blest visions from above
And nay yag Drlght1Hy round thy happy heart
Neer from thy glowing soul depart
Farewell my dreams are still with thee,
Hast thou tender thought of me?
My joys like summer birds may fly,
My hopes like summer blooms depart,
But there's one flower that cannot die
Thy holy memory in my heart
No dews that one flowers cup may fill,
No sunlight to its leaves be given,
But it will 1--we and flourish still,
AS deathless as q thing of heaven;
My soul greets thine unasked, unsought,
Hast thou for me one gentle thought?
Farewelll farewell, my far-off friendl
OcIWotH us, DTOdu Dluo rivers HOW,
And forests wave and plains extend,
And mountains in the sunlight glow;
The wind that breathes upon thy brow
Is not the wind that breathes on mine,
The star beams shining on thee now
Are not the beams that on me shine;
But memory's spell is with me yet
Can'st thou the holy past forget?
The bitter tears that thou and
May shed whene' er by anguish bowed
Exhaled into the noontide sky,
May meet and mingle in the cloud;
And thus, my much-loved friend, though W
Far, far apart must live and move,
Our souls when God shall set them free,
Can mingle in the world of love.
This were an ecstacy to me:
3 Say-would it be joy to thee?
