At the last meeting a resolution was passed iu relation to the purchase of u large and new Engine; also, for supplying the tfown with some better means of obtaining water, for the uses of fires, than now exist. 2. On examining the Constitution and liy-LAws, as they bow exist, the Committee are folly pcrsuad?d that that attention has not been given to the same as was required, and jltnt they ate defective in many points, and tequifeft' complete revision; that they artllMdequate for the purpose for which thev were designed, and that no company or society could progress or continue in full forou under it* government.

Only waiting till tho reapers llave tho last sheaf gathered home ; For the summer time is faded, And the autumn's winds have come, Quickly, reaoers, gather quickly The last ripe hours of my heart ; For the bloom of life is withered, And I hasten to depart. Only- waiting till the angels Open wide the mystic gate. At whose feet I long have lingered, Weary, poor, and desolate. Even now 1 hear the footsteps, And their voices, far away : If they call me, I an; waiting? Only wailing to obey. Only waiting till the shadows A?c a little longer grown?
