MY FATHER’S HALF-BUSHEL.
My father’s half-bushel comes oft to my mind.
And wakens deep feelings of various sorts;
’l‘was an honest half-bushel, a noble half-bushel;
It held half a bushel of thirty-two quarts.
When I think of that bushel—my father's half-bushel
That dear old half-bushel, so honest and true——
Then look at the bushels—our city half-bushels,
Little dandy half-bushels—it makes me feel blue.
Oh, my father's half-bushel, that country half-bushel,
Say when with blest vision its like shall I see ‘2
’Il‘was a blessed half-bushel, and he was me man,
For he filled his half-bushel, and sour g threw
free!
Yet all the half-bushels, if mean. are not small:
I’m vexed with the big ones still more and more;
Oh, mark out that ashman’s next he shall call;
You see his half-bushel holds quarts sixty-four!
’Tis a fact I am stating—no slandcrs I utter——
But who can forbear, when cheated to mutter ?
In New York a barrel—I pray you don’t laugh—-
.Will not hold so much ashes as potatoes by half!
Oh, what are the lawyers, and what are the laws.
What bugbears and phantoms— mere feathers or
Unless our half-bushels are all made as one,‘
Like father’s half-bushel, I say, we’re undone!
CONNECTICUT LEGISLATURE.
MAY SESSION, 1808.
TUESDAY, J line 2.
SENATE—The Rev. Dr. Phelps ofi‘ered
prayer.
Bill for an act for the encouragement and
regulation of fisheries: referred.
,Bill for an act relating to license for sale
of, oods: referred. .
1 .gsolution repealing the act incorpora-
ting the Stamford Water Co. dated June 7th
1859, and a resolution incorporating a new
company, were referred.
On motion of Senator Street, the resolu-
tion appropriating $196 to the Down Town
School District was taken from the table and
passed.
HOUSE—Prayer by the Rev. Mr. Hall.
A bill for an act allowing corporations,
having ware-houses out of the State, to keep
their books at sucllplaccs of business; read
twice and referred. * . - "
A resolution to amend the charter of the
borough of Winstead, was referred.
The Committee on Education reported in
favor of the action of the Down Town school
district of Norwalk, and a resolution appre-
priating $196 to the district, was passed
The order of the day, the petition of the
Shore Line Railroad for a bridge over the
Connecticut River, at Saybrook, was taken
up. .
Mr. Eaton of Hartford, having the floor,
resumed his remarks in opposition to the
bridge.
Mr. Minor, of Stamford, said he desired to
give the reasons for the bill. He wanted to
protect all the interests of the State. He
would extend the strong hand of the State
to this weak, puny, pcrishing road as it is
called. He denounced log—rolling legislation.
If no injury was to be done, why not dispose
of the question at once? He hoped the. leg-
islaiure’ would come to this opinion, and set-
tle. the question forever.
Mr. Babcock, of Stonington, said the re
quest of the road was a well defined one.
They ask for the removal of a fatal obstruc-
tion.
Mr. Lewis, of New Haven, said he would
like to have the opposition reply to the ar-
guments adduced for the bridge, if they had
any to offer. Mr. Lewis spoke strongly for
the bridge.
Mr. Eaton denied that he was the hired
counsel of the Hartford and New Haven
Railroad.
Mr. Bennett, of Huntington, said the re-
fercnce made to him made it necessary to
speak again. He denied that the lobby had
ever decided the question in previous years.
Is was admitted that a bridge over New Ha-
ven Harbor would ruin its commerce. If
' that was so, then this bridge must prove an
Obstruction of a’serious character. It was
the first time that he ever knew the Legisla-
tuee to be called upon to legislate for inter-
ests out of the State.
Mr. Phelps, of New Haven, said he was
‘ willing to concede honesty of purpose to the
Hartford people. They had breathed the
anti-bridge atmosphere so much that their
dreams were haunted with draw-bridges.
He wished honesty of purpose conceded al~
so to the bridge men, and not to have them
charged with attempting an outrage.
, ' WEDNESDAY, J 11110 3.
SENATE—Prayer by the Rev. President
oolsey.
Remonstrance of Wm. B. Scoficld et

all referred.
Joint standing com. on incorporatious re-
ported in favor of allowing change of name
of Hartford Life and Accident ‘company, to
Hartford Life and Annuity company ; ac-
cepted and name changed. "
HOUSE—Prayer by Rev. Mr. Loper of
Chatham.
The speaker appointed the following
members, on the part of the House, of the
committee on the revision Of state laws :—-
Messers. Minor of Stamford, Reid of Suf-
ficld, Goti‘e/Of Caiiterbury, Hall of Meridcn,
Glover of Fairfield, Doanc of Old Saybrook,
Allynjof Groton, Barnum of Sharon.
The discussion on the Shore Line Bridge
was resumed. '
Mr. Holcomb of Grauby opened the dis-
cussion in favor of the bridge.
Mr. Fessenden of Farmington said he had
listened for three years to. this discussion,
and as a result he had come, after deliberate
consideration, to the belief that the bridge
ouolit not to be built.
11'. Hall of Guilford,favored the bridge.
Mr. Silliman of Cheshire said that he want-
ed to say a word. He was opposed to this
bridge because a tunnel could be made un-
der the river which would answer the pur» '.
pose, and he held in his hand the opinion
of an eminent engineer, that such a tunnel
could be built at less expense than a bridge.
Mr. Waller of New London took the floor
for the bridge, after which the vote on the
resolution was taken resulting in favor of
the bridge by a vote of yeas 136, nays 92.
M
The spread of Intemperance.
0f the thousand floating rumors, which
may be truth or sensation, none is more
painful than the assertion,,which every now
end then forces itself into ugly prominence,
that intempcrance is a growing evil among
the women of the higher classes of our land.
There is none certainly which any good
man would be slower to believe or more re-
luctant to credit. 'Yet again and again the
unpleasant allegation is made, not flippantly,
but supported by the stubborn aid of facts.
From the report of the State Temperance
Convention, held at Harrisburg two months
since, we extract an entry or two from the ,
official records of application for entry into
the Inebriates’ Asylum of New York, which
are simply fearful:
Clergymen........... ..... 39

It may very possibly be that this institu-
tion does not fairly represent the cases from
all classes of society, or is especially devoted
to the cure of females. But all that does not
materially alter the terrible story of its ,
records. It is frightful to think of thirteen .
hundred young women of New York.given
over tothe demon of drink, no matter how
the cases are collected. And again, for every
daughter handed over in despair to the-pub-
lic shame of an asylum, how many are there
dying unknown and unheard of+=the skele-

How T0 CURE A COLD—The momenta
man is satisfiedhe has taken cold, let him
do three things :- First, eat nothing; sec-
and, go to bed, cover up in awarm room ;
third, drink as much cold water as he can ,
or as he wants, or as much herb tea as h. e
can; and in three cases out of four, he will.
bewcll in thirty-Six hours. To neglect. a
cold for fortyéeight hours after the cough
commences, is to place himselfbeyond ctire,,
until the cold has run its course, or about a
fortnight. Warmth and abstinence are safe
and certain cures, when specified early.
Warmth keeps the pores of the Sk’m open,
and relieves it of the siuplus which. oppres-
ses it, while abstinence cuts off the supply of
material for phlegm which would. otherwise
he coughed up.—Jowrnal of Health.
THREE WONDERS 1N HEAVEN.—Jolm N ew- ,
ton said: “When I get to Heaven I shall see
three wonders there. The first wonder will
be to see so many people there whom I did
not expect to; the second wonder will be to
miss many people whom I did expect to see ;
and the third and greatest wonder of all,
will be to find myself there.

NEW FAMILY SEWING MACHINE.
THE
Singer Manufacturing Company,
Proprietors and Manufacturers of the world renowned
SINGER SEWING MACHINES.
The superior merits of the “SINGER" Machines
over all others, for either Family use or Manufactiu'i
purposes, are so well established and so generally a -
mitted, that an enumeration of their relative cxccllcn-
cios is no longer considered necessary.
THE LETTER “A” FAMILY ilfA CHINE
hitherto manufactured by this company, has gained and
maintained, the world over, and for years past, an un-
paralclled reputation and sale. But notwithstanding
the excellence of this Machine, we Have new to an-
uounce that. it has been superseded by’our
NEW FAMILY MACHINE,
which has been over two years in preparation, and
which has been brought to perfection rcgradless of
time, labor or expense, and which is now confidently
presented to the public as incomparably the BES'
SEWING MACHINE IN EXISTENCE.
The Machine in qiiestion is simple, compact, durable
and beautiful. It is quiet, light-running and capable
of performing a range and variety of_ work never be-
fore attempted npon a single Machine, using either
Silk, Twist, Linen or Cotton Thread, and sewing with
equal facil ty the very finest and coarsest materials,
and anythino between the two extremes, in the most
beautifulland substantial manner. Its attachments for
Hemming, Braiding, Cor-ding, Tricking, Quilting, Fell-
ing, Trimming. Binding, etc, are novel and practical,
and have been invented and adlusted especially for
this Machine.
New desrgns of the Unique, Useful and Popular
Fouling Tops and Cabinet Cases, peculiar to the Ma-
chines manufacturcd by this Company, have been pre-
pared for inclosing the new Machine. These are got-
ten up in every variety of wood, such as Black Walnut,
Mihognany, Rosewood, and the like, and from the
plainest to the most clabOratc pattern and. finish—the
machines themselves being more or less highly orna-
mented to correspond with the Tables or Cabinets for
which thq are intended.
through the medium of an advertisement of this Par-
agon of Family Machines. and we therefore urge every
person in quest of a Sewing Machine, by all means to
examine and test, if they can possxbly. do so, all the
leading rival machines before making a purchase. A
selection can then be made understandinglly.
Branches, or agencies, for supplying t e "Singer”
Machines will be found in nearly every city and town
throughout the civilized world, where machines will
be cheerfully exhibited, and any information promptly
' furnished; or communications may be addressed for
