ALONE WITH GOD.
Alone with Thee, my God! alone with Thee!
Thus wouldst Thou have it still thus let it be,
There is a secret chamber in each mind,
Which none can find .
But He who made it—uoue beside can know
Its joy or woc.
0ft may I enter it oppressed by care,
And find Thee there;
So full of watchful love, Thou kuow‘st the why
0f cvcry sigh.
Then all thy righteous deollugshail I see,
Alone with Thee, my God 1 alone with Thee.
The joys of earth are like a summer’s day,
Fading away;
But in the twilight we may better trace
Thy wondrous grace.
The homes of earth are emptied oft by death
With chilling breath;
The loved departed guests may ope no more
The well-known door:
Still in that chamber seal’d. Thou’lt dwell with me.
And I with Thee, my God! alone with thee.
The World’s false voice would bid me’enter not
. That hallowed spot :
And earthly thoughts would follow on the track
To hold me back,
Or seek to break the sacred peace within
With this world’s din.
But, by Thy grace, I'll cast them all aside,
Whate’er betide;
And never let that cell deserted be.
Where I may dwell alone, my God, with Thee.
The war may rage l—keep Then the citadel.
And all is well;
And when I learn the fullness of Thy love
With Thee above— ‘
When every heart oppressed by hidden grief
Shall gain relief—
Wbcn every Wearv soul shall find its rest
Amidst the blast—
Then all my heart, from sin and sorrow free, ‘
Shall be a temple meet, my God, for Thee.

THE ANCIENT PIANO JUST OVER THE WA Y.
"Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, ye, my
fricnds."—Job 19 xi.
In the language of Job, "have pity upon me 1"
Though I live in a house on abeautifhl street,
And many would call it an elegant dwelling—
A charming, a quiet and cozy retreat.
Alas l there’s a skeleton lurking about it:
The sunshine ofpeace never sends its bright ray
Ts gladdeu its inmates, for there’s a piano—
An ancient piano just over the way.
It awakes me from sleep at the dawn of the morning,
Disturbs me at night when I seek my repose,
And all through the day, with its infernal clamor,
Unstrlngs every nerve from my head to my toes.
I have wished it iii-every bad place under heaven,
With those who were always just learningto play;
I have uttered expletives, but still they keep thump-
lug
That ancient piano just over the way.
My life is one scene of perpetual discord;
l have cursed that piano with curses profound,
But all to no purpose; alas! I‘m a martyr
To noise and confusion and damuable sound.
And if, at the last, I shall enter Elysium
Ere I record my name, or conclude there to stay,
I shall try to find out if'they keep a piano—-
An ancient piano just over the way.
LETTER FROM NEW JERSEY.
Osman, N. J., June 6, 1870.
DEAF. Gunny—We are just in the midst of straw-
berries and—mosquitoes. Fifteen cents a quart for
the nicest berries, and a house full of the other for
nothing. on Josh Billings, what have you been
about that these winging, singing, clinging, stinging
.tormeuts, are not long ago lodged on that western
"reservation 7 " When you return to Orange, this
summer, how they will bleed you on the strength of
that “kontrakt.” There is another Yankee around
who has more pity on . He would “let us have
peace" within doors at least. He attaches a mosqui-
to net to the bottom of the window sash, wiudathe
other end upon a roller, affixed with a spiral spring
to the inside sill, so that the net follows the sash
whether opened little or much. There is no frame
to hoist up, put in order, and fit in its place, but lift.
ing the window'lifts the bars, and the protection is
complete.
But strawberries and mosquitoes are forgotten
amidst the troubles with travelers on the Morris &
Essex. Three prominent citizens of Orange have re-
cently been ejected from the cars, and the excitement
has reached a fever heat. Llewellyn S. Haskell, Esq..
widely known as the projector .of Llewellyn Park,
wishing to stop over a train in Newark on his way
to the city one morning, obtained the endorsement
of the conductor on his ticket to prevent any trouble.
But on entering the next train, its conductor refused
to accept the endorsement and demanded fare. Mr.
Haskell declined paying it, and was at once put off,
the train being stopped for the purpose. A few days
after, came Mr. Ross C. Browning, whose name, is
seen upon so many washers and wringers. Desiring
to stop at Newark, and having the fate of his prede-
cessors in view, he asked the conductor not to punc-
ture his ticket. This the conductor would not com-
ply with, but demanded the ticket. Mr. Browning,
having ouce shown it. would not present it again.
The conductor thereupon at once stopped the train,
and after a struggle, during which-a window was
broken and Mr. B's clothing torn, the plucky passen-
ger Was thrust off. The next victim was Rowland
Johnson, Esq., a well-known philanthropist of OT-
ange. He pursued the same course as Mr. Browning
-—refusing to let his ticket be punctured until after
he had passed Newark. The conductor immediately
stopped the train and called in two brakemen, who
lifted Mr. Johnson bodily out of his seat, over the
head of a gentleman sitting with him, who refused to
rise, and carried him feet foremost out of the car.
But no sooner was he placed upon his feet, than he
sprang into another car, from which he was carried
out again; a second time he leaped upon the train,
to be torn ofi‘ again, when he was held till the train
moved away.
Such outrages as these cannot be repeated with im-
punity. The merchants here are obliged to stop at
Newark to pay their income tax, and to transact oth-
er importaut business, and they claim the right to
do it without invalidating their ticket to New York.
Pres. Sloane, whose arbitrary acts upon the Hudson
River Railroad are well remembered, refuses to
grant this privilege, and instructs his conductors to
put off all who demand it. The matter is soon to be
tested in court.
An interesting ceremony took place last Sabbath
in East Orange—being the dedication of a new M. E.
church. East Orange bears the same relation to Dr-
ange that South Norwalk do'es to Nor-walk, except
that the former are more closely together and run
nearer into one village. Both horse cars and steam
cars connect them, as they do your villages. [I al-
most wrote "cities," because 01 ange is an iucorpora_
ten city, and yet has but one bank. one hotel, and
one business street, scarcely equalling South Nor-
walk in sin and importance, to say nothing of Nor-
walk.) One large church situated in Orange has
hitherto accommodated the Methodists of both pla-
ces; but its members, feeling the necessity of anoth-
er church in East Orange, to meet the wants ofits
growing population, resolved, in a meeting about
ten months ago, to build one, and subscribed $5,000
to purchase alot, before the meeting broke up, an-
other thousand was afterwards added, and a fine site
secured. The beauty of the thing is the harmony
and enthusiasm which the mother church has dis-
played lu pushing along the new enterprise. Here
was to be a similar church within a short mile of its
Own doors, which would avowedly draw away a por-
tion of'its own membership and congregation; yet
full three-fourths of the money come from its own
members, and of the 88,000 raised at the dedication,
one man, who expected to remain with the mother
church, gave, during the day, over 81,700.
The new edifice is a plain brick structure, with
basement, and cost, exclusive of the lot, $16,000. It
will seat about 500, the pews .being reversible for
Sunday-school uses. The walls are plain white, fin-
ished to the peak, relieved by exposed rafters and
braces which are painted drab color. The windows
are a neutral tint, edged with bright colors, except
one each side of the chancel on which is a represen-
tation respectively of the Saviour and of St. John.
The basement is divided into a church parlor, an in-
firm: class room, and four religious class-rooms. The
Whole building is lighted with gas, the bright, steady
light of the audience room coming from two refiect-
ors in the peak, each surmounted with a circle of 16
smalljets, the most economical and beautiful light
in the world.
An excellent practice in church building hereu-
bouts, is to secure an ample building lot, erect a
chapel suited to present needs upon one side of it,
and reserve the central site for a more imposing
structure, when the growth of the church shall war-
rant it. The smaller building is easily paid for, and
is so located as to be architecturally a part of the fu-
ture edifice, and to hold the relation of lecture room.
Two such chapels have been erected during my resi-
dence here, one Presbyterian and one Methodist.
This is the week of the great Beethoven Centenni-
al Jubilee. The big guns, accompanying Gilmore"s
version of the Star Spangled Banner, were distinctly
heard here last Monday evening. This series of
monster concerts are not got up “for the fun of the
thing," but are avowedly a private speculation. The
intelligent readers of the Gazette remember that a
committee of eminent citizens was formed some
months ago in New York, to commemorate the hun-
dredth birth day of Louis Von Beethoven, which re-
ally does not occur till 1872. But this committee
was unfortunately composed of men who were up to
their eyes In business pursuits and had no leisure to
organize a centennial celebration. Meanwhile, a
skillful operatic and theatrical manager, seizing the
opportunity. enlisted a brilliant array of talent, and
suddenly announced a great Musical Festival, which
for want of a better name, he called a Beethoven
Centennial. But neither Beethoven or his music
have any prominent place in the ofi'air. Still, as an
efi‘ort is made to render the best music in the best
manner, whatever glory or profit arises from it, the
projector is fairly entitled to. lie has to pay liberul~
ly for his conductors and star singers. and the inci-
dentals will foot up to a prodigious bill. The first
beginnings of the monster performance, like the first
days of the Boston Jubilee, look doubtful and discs
trons, but further practice may turn the whole into a
grand success. E. R. P.
Binghampton' Inehriatc Asylum.
TWO hundred and sixteen miles from New York
city, on the line of the New York & Erie Railway,
where the Susquehanna unites with the waters of the
Chenango, lies nestled the beautiful village ofBiug-
hampton. Two miles and a half from the depot, sit-
uated on an eminence commanding a magnificent
view of the surrounding country, is the New York
State Iuebriate Asylum. ‘
Twelve years ago, Dr. E. Turner, of Connecticut,
conceived the idea of erecting an asylum for the
treatment of that class of beings wholly given over
to alcohol—known as inebriates. What to do with
this class of unfortunates, who are so extensively
found in every community, had long been a question
of no little difficulty to the philanthropist and hu-
manitarian. To confine them as lunatic: would be
preposterous; and yet something had to be done
with them to endeavor to rescue those worth saving
from that most terrible of fates— a druukard’s grave.
Thousands of brilliant intellects throughout the land
were yearly going down the road to perdltion; thou-
sands of firesides were desolated; thousands of wid-
ows and orphans left to mourn the loved parent;
whilethe cold, unsharitable world but pointed the
finger of scorn at the helpless ones, as the family of
the drunkard! And all this misery, abjectness and
sufi'ering was all super-induced by Satan‘s most pow-
erful ally—Alcohol.
The absolute importance of this measure, was agi-
tated near and far. The doting mother. the loving
wife, the affectionate sister, were all interested in
this movement. In their agony of despair, seeing
their loved ones daily approaching insidiously, yet
surely, the vortex that would engulf them in the fa-
tal maelstrom of inebriety, hailed this movement
from their true women’s hearts, as the Mecca of all
their earthly hopes.
Dr. Tamer went to work enthusiastically and zeal-
ously. The importance of the work was heralded
throughout the country. The orator orated, the min-
ister exhorted, the doctors recommended. Amiui-
dab Sleek and Mrs. Jelerby dropped for a while their
colonization schemes, and lent their aid to forward
the enterprise. Church fairs were given ; town
meetings were held. and the grand hat of the com-
munity generally, was passed around. The Phari-
see’s gold, and the widow’s mite alike found their
way into the treasury for the inebriates. The town
of Blughampton deeded three hundred acres of land
to the general fund, and on one stormy day in May,
1858, the corner stone of the New York State Inebri—
ate Asylum was laid with the solemn and imposing
ceremonies of the Masonic fraternity of the State of
New York, by John L. Lewis, Jr., Grand Master of
the Grand Lodge. Edward Everett, Benjamin But-
ler, and many other prominent orators of the coun-
try, took part in the ceremonies on the occasion.
Aid was given the institution by the State and the
utmost liberaiity was evinced everywhere towards
promoting a scheme which was fondly anticipated
would lead to grand and beneficial results. For
twelve years the noble institution has flourished, and
the poor unfortunate victims of Alcoholis'nw have:
during that time, as many as would avail themselves
of this great boon, found within its walls hope which
need not end in fruition, and for themselves. at last.
flowing fountains and rainbows in the clouds.
Its architectural design is of the castellated gothic
order, externally; within it is finished in the most
approved modern style, having four stories, arranged
into wards; additions, however, have been made on
the eastern portion,h1aking five wards in all. The
rooms are larger than the majority of apartments in
first-class hotels, furnished with marble wash basins,
black walnut wardrobes and furniture to match.
Each room has a handsome tin globe chandelier and
burner extending down to the table, and is hand-
somely carpeted. In short, every luxury and con‘
venieuce that could be desired for the comfort and
convenience of the guests of one of the best hotels in
the country, is there found. Its fare is excellent, the
table being supplied with the delicacies of the sea-
son.
Every inducement is held out here for the inebri-
ate to reform. Everything and every measure that
can wean from him the desire for stimulants, is em-
ployed. In the eastern division there is a large and
well appointed billiard room, a fine gymnasium, a
good bowling alley and a barber shop. Above these
on the next door, is what is called the 5th wardkand
at its extremity, is a beautiful club room, which for
beauty of design and elaborateness of appointments,
is not to be excelled in the country, The 'Club is
composed of such gentlemen as desire to contribute
to its support, application being first made through
a member at the semi-weekly official meetings of the
Club, and if the candidate have no black balls (le-
posited in the ballot box, heis duly declared elected.
The President and other officers of the Club are elec-
ted once a month. All the prominent magazines and
papers, both at home and abroad, are here on file;
card tables and. musical instruments, two pianos,
and, in brief, everything that goes to constitute cul-
tivated taste and 'intcllectuality of entertainment,
are here placed 'for the accommodation of the pa-
tients. Agencral reading room and lib: cry of refer-
ence is on t esame floor, which those not members
of the Club, others, have the free use of.
In the third ward is a fine library of classified and
standard works, besides the best and latest editions,
of the prominent erers of alight literature of the
day. There is also a theatre, with stage, scenery,
and all appointments. A performance is given by
the gentlemen, aided by the ladies of the Institution,
once every week. Gentlemen are permitted to in-
vite company from Binghompton, and each prform—
ance finds the little auditorium crowded with the
elite of Binghampton society.
In the fourth ward is a magnificent chapel, finish-
ed elegantly, at a cost of probably over $20,000. It
will seat 400 persons comfgrtably. The Chaplain,
resident at the Asylum, reads prayers and preaches
morning and evening. and has Episcopal service ev'-
ery Sunday evening. There is in the Chapel 0 fine
melodcou, and the choir is all that could be desired.
In the 2nd ward, back of the parlors, is a large con-
servatory some two hundred feet in length; - running
parallel with it on the same floor is the dining room,
—a large and handsome room, and in every respect
equal to any first-class hotel.
and soberness‘. The meal hours never vary a min;
ute, the mail arives and departs at a stated time
twice a day, the lights are extinguished in every
room at half past ten o’clock every evening, unless
by special permission of the Superintendent. In
short, here the’ Iuebriate finds the advantages of a
refined. cultivated home. Ills constitution becomes.
under its use and prudent management, thoroughly
recuperated from alcoholic poisoning, and he is re-
turned to society a new man, freed from his besetting
rice, to gladdeu the hearts of those dear friends who
have watched his restoration to manhood and use-
fulness with that anxiety and hopefulness only
known to those who have suffered the agony and
desolateness of heart, that despair at his previous
irresoluteuess had unnecessarily wrought.
Binghampton Asylum. then, is not a prison, nor is
it an Institution, in any respect. of a penal nature.
It is simply a home for the drunkard. The patients
have every scope—every liberty. Composed, as its
inmates are, of the very flower of refined society,
numbering amongst them. professional men, bunk-
ers, morthants, and in short, from every high posi-
tion In the great commercial world, lbey'all livc'here
and meet here on the level, to reform. There are no
more distinguished men or eminent scholars, than
those who have been within its walls for the purpose
ofbecomlng respected members of society once more
The rate of board is twenty dollars per week, thir-
teen weeks (8260) payable in advance.
I have thus given your readers a brief outline of
this noble building. There is there, at last, hope for
the inebriate, hope for his family and friends. Cut
loose from former associations, moviugin society
difi'erent from that which rum and its debasiug influ-
ence invariably causes him to accept, old affiliations
are forgotten, former ties suudered, objectionable

HOUSE—Prayer by Rev. Dr. Phelps.
Bill for better protection Of life from boll-
cr explosions ; to judiciary.
Bill relating to nuisances—11m fish oil fuc-
tories—was taken up with substitute report
ed by judiciary committee.
Mr. F. R. Landon, oquilf'Ol'd, moved an
amendment, requiring petitioners for inj 11m:-
110118 to give sufficient bonds to indemnify
the respondent in case the petitioners fall to
prosecute to effect. He regarded the bill as
likely to give great trouble and litigation.
Parties interested had not been heard, and
there was a large interest in this business
along the sound. '
Mr. Eaton saw no . reason for such an
amendment, asjudges now have power to
require such bonds for cosls. .
Mr. Doolittle said it is designed to secure
costs Where the petitioner is an irresponsi-
ble person. This is a summary proceeding,
and it is right that irresponsible persons
should not be able to set on foot these pro-
ceedings without giving bonds for costs.
Mr. Landon resumed, and moved to add
to the Senate amendment the part of his
motion covering damages. He proceeded
to speak of the nature and extent of {11911115-
Iuess, claiming that the business was healthy
and that facilities were now too great for in-
junctions. If this bond for damages was ru-
quired, parties would not run the risk of
failure in frivolous suits. '
Mr. Olmstead, of Stamford, opposed the
amendment including damages. He knew
of no statute making such :1 requircmcnl,
There was no Objection requiring bonds for
costs, but it was different in the matter of
damages. As the law now is, if damages
result, the respondents may have the case
at once disposed of by the judge. lle pro-
ceeded to speak at length of! to character
of the business, claiming that non-residents
came into the State and put up these facto-
ries, which were annoying and unhealthy.
The health and happiness of South N orwalk
had been almost entirely destroyed by those
nuisances. Many fine places, highly im-
proved by wealthy merchants, lIad been
rendered almost untenable by these ,facto—
ries. He claimed that there was no unusual
hardshipiu the process proposed in the bill.
He had been informed that much sickness
was caused by this nuisance. Senator
Woodward‘s family had suffered.
Mr. Brewster opposed the amendment re-
quiring bonds for damages. As it would
shut poor men out of the remedy provided
by law. Bonds for costs was all that good
policy required.
Mr. Latham had long been acquainted
with this business. The men personally
engaged in it were healthy. A case had
been tried in his town, Groton, and the doc-
tors determined that While the Odor was
sometimes unpleasant, it was not unhealthy.
It was a lucrative and valuable business,
bringing manure for the land out of the sea,
and if this bill passes, the business will be
destroyed. He urged that the men engaged
in this business ought not thus to be placed
at the mercy of their neighbors. '
Mr. Johnson, ofEnfield, said the bill was
designed, not to destroy the business, but to
regulate it, so that it shall not be a common
nuisance. The product of these factories
might be good for raising tobacco, but it
was awfully unpleasant to have under onc‘s
nose.
Mr. Burnham said the Legislature was
not to settle thl! quesiliou whether the fac-
tories were nuisances. The .crjors might
not be unhealthy and still be nuisances. He
claimed that by the bill the process Of action
was to be speedy, and that 1hr- righls of the
respondents would not be seriously injured.
Careful provision was made against dam-
age working by delay in the cases being
heard. Parties interested on boll; sides of
the question were heard before the commit-
tee, and appeared satisfied with the bill rote
ommended. He saw no Objection to a bond
for costs, but there were great objections to
requiring a bond for damages. If a judge,
in his judgment issues a temporary Injunc-
- tion, it was going too far too require a bmnl
for damages.
Mr. H. G. Landon thought the policy of
the State should be such as to encourage
her industrial interests. If there was an op-
idcmical disease, he would sooner go to one
of" these oil factories than anywhere eisc.
The phosphate factories might be a nuisance
—not in the manufacture of Oil. No doctor
acquainted with the business would pro-
nounce it unhealthy. If this bill passes, the
parties engaged in it Will be summarily i11-
terfered With, and he urged that It was 1111-
'ust.
J Mr. Converse, of Franklin, knew about
this fish Oil business. It was an unmitiga-
ted nuisance and ought to be abated.
Mr. Eaton said this bill only applied to
“nuisances; ” it was claimed that these oil
works were not nuisances ; then it will so
appear in the courts. Ii‘a judge saw lit to
grant a temporary injunction it was not fair
to require a bond for damages. If :1 mail-
cious suit is brought, the aggrieved respond-
ent has now his remedy at law. The bill as
drawn was properly guarded, and he was
opposed to Mr. London’s amendment
Gen. Pratt, of W'ethersfielcl, asked if the
towns had not power to abate nuisances?
Mr. Eaton said the design was to give the
towns ample power, and the. committee
were of the opinion that they had ample
power for ordinary cases, but there were
some points that needed to be covered by
such a bill.
Mr. Burnham remarked that the bill ‘11s
mainly designed to meet the cases where
the parties are non-residents. ‘
Mr. McLean, of Simsbury moved the pre-
vious question—carried.
Mr. Landon’s amendment was rejected.
Mr. Eaton insisted that it was unreasona-
ble to require even bonds for costs, which
was different from the practice in all other
cases.
Mr. Doolittle soida bond for costs could
be required in any suit; itwas not of par-
ticular consequence, and he saw no particu-
lar hardship in the requirement.
Mr. Allen, of East Windsor, remarked
that, no matter how much mist was drawn
around the question by the legal gentlemen,
it should be borne in mind that this bill was
designed to Wipe out these fish oil works.
It was one of the most im'portani interests
in the State. It may be unpleasant to some
few millionaires to have this bad smell in
their vicinity. Cotton factories and gas
works were unpleasant, but they were nec-
essary and we ought not to destroy them.
Mr. Olmstead said it was not a few mil-
lionaires only, but large numbers of citizens
who had improved property before the es-
tablishment of these factories. The works
may be healthy, but it was because they had
arrangements for sending the stench up in-
to the air and throwing it among the citi-
zens.
' Mr. Potter, of Essex, said it was a mistake
to suppose that this industry would be de-
stroyed by stopping the stench. The smell
from the manure was evidence that its for-
tilizing qualities were escaping. Absor -
cuts could be used which would prevent 1 1e
unpleasant smell and increase the value of
the product. '
The amendment requiring bonds for costs
was adopted and the bill passed.
Resolution authorizing the N. Y. of: N. H.
R. R. to erect new bridges over the Housa-
tonic river and Norwulle harbor—rcpqgcd
favorably. ~ ~
Mr. Doolittle moved an amendment, that
the company shall keep in repair the high-
way (Washington) bridge over the Ilousu-
touic river, and take such tolls as the Legsi-
laturc may determine.
Mr. Doolittle said since the resolution
passed at the last session meeting the char-
ler of the qushington Bridge Company. the
bridge had become impassable, and the Leg-
islature had declared the charter forfeited-
This amendment proposes that this railroad
company which had destroyed the franchise
of the bridge company should maintain the
bridge. He gave a. history of the case. The
Supreme Court had upheld the exclusive
right of the Washington Bridge Company,
to an exclusive right to build bridges for six
miles up and down the river. The railroad
company then bought up a majority of the
stock of the bridge company, and then made
a bargain with the company which they
thus controlled, giving the railroad compa-
ny power to erect a. bridge within the limits
ot‘the district guaranteed to the bridge com-
pany. Since that they have suffered the
highway bridge to go to decay, and Mr.
Doolittle contended that it was no more
than right that the railroad company, hav-
ing swallowed up the bridge company,
ought to be compelled to maintain the high-
way bridge.
Discussed atlength, and finally, on mo-
tion oer. Doolittle, tabled to give him
