The Last Day of the Session.

WASHINGTON, March 4.--The galleries
are crowded this morning with people
witnessing the closing scenes of Congress.
The House particularly is thronged, and
it is almost impossible to 60 through the
lobbies and corridors. Inside the cham
Der every available inch of room is occu.
pied and hundreds are unable to obtain
admission. The floor also is crowded
with strangers, composed for the most
part of ex-members, members elect and
distinguished strangers from every section
of the country. At twenty minutes of
IL, on motion of Mr.. Packard, permission
was given to admit on the floor, immedi.
ate]y after which large number entered,
crowding members from their seats and
adding to the general din and confusion.
The President, accompanied by mem
bers of the Cabinet and his private Sec
rotary, came into the Senate chamber at
$3.50 this morning and remained until ad-
journment, examining large mess oc
bills before them previous to approval.
The President signed the appropriation
bills, none of which failed. Three or
four private bills were lost for want of
time to examine them. The bill to equal
ize the bounties Of soldiers who served in
the late war has failed to become a law.
The President witholds his signature.
If time had allowed he would have sent
in veto message. The President and
cabinet did not think it proper to make
SO large an appropriation on account of
bounties, some calculation placing the
amount from one hundred and fifty
million to tso hundred million.
Members Of Congress were flying in all
directions with bills in their hands, hurry
ing to have them signed by the respective
officers of the two houses and then sent
into the Presidents room for his ap-
proval.
Claimants in the lobby showed anxiety
and there were hundreds of mournful
faces when Congress adjourned.

Many went away expressing thanks that

A Beautiful Sentiment.

Shortly before his departure for India, the lamented Heber preached a sermon in which was the following:
 Life bears us on like the stream fof a mighty river. Our boat glidcs down the narrow chahnel--through the playful murmurings of the lit tie brook, and the winding of it's grassy borders. The trees shed their blossoms over our young heads and the flowers on the brink seem to offer themselves to our young hands; we are happy in hope, and grasp eagerly at the beauties aTUund us-but the stream hurries on, and still our hands are empty. Our course in youth and manhood is along q wilder flood, amid objects more striking and magnificent. We are animat- ed at the moving pictures of en- joyment and industry that are pas sing us; we are excited at home short-lived disappointment. The stream bears us on, and our joys and griefs are alike left behind us. We may be shipwrecked, we can not be delayed. Whether rough or smooth, the river hastens to it's home, until the roar of the ocean is in our ears, and the tossing of the waves is beneath our feet and tine land lessens from our eyes, and the floods are lifted around us, and we take our leave of earth and it's inhabitants, until on our further voyage there is no witness save the Indefinite and Eternal"

ing is carried the more destruc- tive it becomes. This subject cannot be better illustrated than by stating that many of the Eng fish farmers lease the land upon the express condition that nothing shall be sold from the farm except animals, so as to compel the ten ant to use the entire product of the farm in feeding, and thus save the manure, being well satisfied that it is the best, cheapest and safest method of improving the farm. Such management Is so widely different from ours, when, whatev- CT of policy we have, is directly the contrary.
 How does such. a system as this compare with what we almost ev- erywhere behold in our country? How many farmers allow their gates to become places of annoy. ance by its being a place for the stock of the farm to collect, and to become a place unsightly and filthy by the nightly and morn ing droppings of the stock. Yet he complains of hard times and scarcity of money, and allows large and valuable supplies of manure to go to waste. And feel ing that he needs manure, spends a portion of his crop in advance to buy guano far inferior to that which streams, in wet weather, from his gate. He had rather spend his crop before it is made than to save the manure he has, and for no other seeming reason than that he has never saved it before-or because it is too much trouble; or shall I say it in plain English, because he is too lazy.
 It is clearly evident to a reason ing mind that nothing can increase when there is continual decrease; :; that vessel full of leaky holes will not confine water. Thus through numerous, and apparent ly insignificant outlets, do our profits escape.
