THE HIDDEN FLAG.
When the family of Rev. Herman Bokum
was compelled for fly from East Tennessee,
to escape rebel persecution, his wife took
the American flag, which had always floated
over the house, and consigned it to a friend,
to be hidden until they shouldbe able again
to raise it over their home. The' following
simple lines are from the pen df her pa
triotic husband, expressing the sentiments
with which his wife was compelled to leave
her home and the graves of her children:
Take, my friend, this flag from me,
The hour to part has come;
I ne'er again this flag may see,
Floating above my home.
Many a sad and joyful day,
Endears it to my heart;
Now, all are past, and far away
Northward must I depart.
From traitors' bands my husband fled;
With them I may not stay;
The God who safe his way has sped,
For me will speed my way.
The sunny South I leave behind—
Sunny no more to me;
In colder climes a home to find,
'Midst waim hearts of the free.
Three children, only, go with me;
Two sleep on yonder height—
To wake wiaere I shall ever be
With them in heavenly light.
Farewell to yonder grave so dear—
To every vale and hill;
Though I no more be dwelling here,
I shall be with you still.
O'er mountains high will be our ride,
And through the hostile throng—
Through forests dense, o'er rivers wide,
A dreary way, and long.
But vainly would we seek to stay,
Bound down with slavish fear,
Where traitors hold relentlgas sway,
And hate all we hold dear.
Then hide, my friends, this flag for me,
The hour to part has come;
I ne'er again this flag may see,
Floating above my home.
The Water Supply of Philadelphia and
the Threatened Cholera
To the _Editor of the Evening Bulletin:—
The hopes that ire now being held out to
the citizens of Philadelphia of an abundant
supply of pure water are truly refreshing.
Since the remarkable works at Fairmount
Were erected, of which every Philadelphian
was then so justly proud, the character of
the Schuylkill has greatly changed. Mann
factories have multiplied along its banks to
such an extent that for miles above the city
they form one continuous village. Paper
mills, woolen mills, cotton factories, coal
oil refineries, breweries, distilleries, forges,
gathering about them a dense population,
who instinctively crowd to the river bank
and the neighborhood of the works which
employ them, are daily pouring their accu
mulated filth , into the source of the city's
life. It will be remembered that it was from
a filthy canal boat on the Schuylkill that the
city was invaded by cholera in 1832. Fleets
of canal boats float upon its bosom, each
leaving its track of refuse behind it, and
- steamboats hourly disturb the repose of its
surface and stir up the sediment and garbage
that have settled at its bottom, setting free
the foul gases that have generated there and
might else be absorbed. Eveninto the very
dam from which the water is pumped up
into the reservoirs, for final distribution, a
sewer empties its poisonous tide. Now, side
by side with this state of things, place the
fact that all modern research goes
to prove that the most fertile source of
CHOLERA, when once the epidemic has
made its appearance , is the use of impure
into
whichmore particularly of water
which choleraic discharges have been
poured, or the clothing of cholera patients
has been washed, and we see sufficient
ground for serious apprehension should this
city be visited by the dread destroyer.
Imagine a sudden outburst of the epidemic
for instance in Manayunk; where the
houses are crowded together almost as in
the most densely populated streets of the
city, and where the inmates live in that
state of utter disregard to all sanitary pre
caution, personal or domestic, which cha
racterise factory operatives. Then think of
half a million of people drinking the water
which has flowed by this centre of infection
and become saturated with its deadly drain
ings, and what result can we hope for?
What short of a miracle can save us? But
one means of prevention suggests itself.
Let proper receptacles of sufficient size and
number be dug back of each of these vil
lages, so remote from the river that their
drainage can never reach it. Into these let
all filth, garbage, ordure, everything that in
itself or by its decomposition, can render wa
ter impure, and generate disease, be thrown,
and let their contents be daily sprinkled=
with a dilution of sulphuric acid in water.
(Sulphuric acid is the oil of vitriol of com
merce. A small ouantity of it diffused
through a considerible amount of water is
found to' be more effective as a disinfectant
of the peculiar poisons of cholera, than the
preparations of time.) Hospitals should be
established at• convenient intervals, some
distance back from the towns, and a sani
-tary police should be organized, empowered
to enter every house in sufficient proximity
to the river to make it dangerous, and re
move any ease that seemed even suspicious
at once to the nearest hospital. This police
should also be instructed to arrest any per
son directly or indirectly conveying any
impurity into the river, or any stream or
gutter running into it. All such tributary
rivulets, and gutters should be disinfected
with sulphuric acid. The captains of canal
. boats should be instructed to have proper
receptacles on board for every description
of refuse, which should be taken on shore
and buried at a proper distance from the
bank. Any sewer or culvert opening into
the dam from which the water is pumped
into the reservoir, should be at once closed
up, no matter at what expense, never to be
re-opened, until the proposed acqueduct is
completed, and we depend no more upon
.the Schuylkill for our supply. While we can
not be sure that our city will be visited
at all by the scourge which threatens our
shores, we have no right to make this doubt
a ground for inaction. On the contrary,
with the warning that we have already had,
it becomes the solemn duty of our public
authorities, under a deep sense of the re
sponsibilities of their position, to make
every arrangement that would be consid
ered necessary if they could know to a cer
tainty that before midsummer it would
strike us in its most terrible form. Precau
tions can now be taken calmly, and with
due consideration. Thus instituted, the
money spent then will never be thrown
away. It will tell in a diminution of the
death rate for- ybars to come. Onr. children
will ever bless us for leaving them a debt,
if we bequeath with it longer life and
stronger health.

Abrwar..—We took advantage of an opportunits ,
offered us and made a visit to one ofthe most interest
leg institutlona in our midst, one that appeals to all
he gentler feelings of tae heart—" The Cnildren's
Asylum." The building - employed for this purpose
i situated at the 'northeast corner of the wing own
hed by the "Philadelphia Huspital," on tire Alms
ouse grounds, and perhapi, as inconvenient and
uncomfortable a structure as could readily be con.
crived. The first Thursday of every month to set
apart as Mother's Pay, when, and where only. exc pt
by aril Mal permission a mother is allowed to look
upon .the lace,, her child. Many of rheas mothers
are inmates of the "House," bu a much larger pro
f croon are residents of the city proper. Atosehed to
this charity is a Leper tm-nt for foundlings, is whicu
all the little sapusea waifs of destitute and other
criminal humanity find their way.. The whole affair
is under the charge of a "Ilia. son," aided by a •"School
teacher ' and thirty assistants. At the time of Per
visit the Asylum contained one hundred and sixty
one babes of both sexee,and, of course ot varion4 ages;
the male populate II largely predomioatiug. he
F( ht.ol room." which Is well ventilated and commo
dious, occupies the northeasternmost room uh, the
first floor, and opens on a tolerably well-shaped
play grrued of considerable extent. The. pupils
numbered upwards of seventy, of whinh
only seventeen or eighteen were Mils. The
major' y that we saw must have been about eleven.
They were slivery c ean. neatly dressed,and exhibited
evidences of the care bestowed upon them. 'rue
"Foundling Department," on the second fi..or, con
tamed some nine innocents, in little cribs, in which
two sleep together. The room has only accommoda
tion for ten, yet the nurse inthrmed me that they have
had as high as seventeen crowded in its limited space.
Very frequently cases of fever, ship . fever sometimes,
email-pox, measles, and other like infectious diseases,
occur, and the sick and the diseased are compelled to
breathe the same unhealthy atm, sphere. The nur
sery, adjoining, had some thirty or forty inmates.
This is a kind of infirmary in which the epileptic,
idiotic and simple-minded, are congregated. Poor
babes! Not one of them—nor did even the more bright
eyed and intelligent of the children below—entertain
the slightest idea or the desolate position they occupy
in society. IVe noticed that quite anumber of children
in the dispensary were affected with a Sind of Milani
matron of the eye, which, we ascertained, is "sympa
thetically contagious."
It has oeen proposed for anme time past to erect a
new building for this class of unfortunates, and an ap
propriation has been made fur that purpose. It can
not too soon be comileted, and the children removed
to a healthier site. While we stood in the hall our
nostrils were indulged with an aroma that never :ex
haled itself from- "Arabythe blest," and on inquiring
the cause, found that the pestilential vapor arose from
the sewers underneath, which run the whole length of
the hospital wing, and contain the drainage and wash
gs of all its multitudinous departments, tne drug
store included. Independent of this, the whole wash
ing of the establishment Is performed In the cellar.
and toe steam arises to the very top ot the house. This
is the only department, on the Alms House grounds,
in which the wash-houses are not on the ground floor.
It should be obviated, and the other improvements
proposed by the Board made at once.
The yearly statistics of this excellent charity may
not prove uninteresting. During 1865 there were admit
ted 272 children; 247 were discharged; 17 died, and 3
eloped. Remaining—Boys, 115; girls, 50. Total, 165.
January Ist 1866, in the "Foundling Department,"
tnere were 75 admitted during the year, of which no less
than 66 died, while 10 were discharged. On January
Ist, 1865. there were 10 of this class remaining in the
department; on the same date, 1866, O. Some idea of
the quantity of clething consumed by the children.
may be gathered from the fact, that in the "sewing
Department" attached, 1,245 garments were made her
the incumbents, and 520 pair of stockings knit, besides
other every day necessary mending and repair, impos
sible to particularize where such objects are concerned.

SHARP. Th e Correspondent of- Nurem

dispute in Germany. Several- Gernian States heivink
expressed a wish to provide their troOPs with. 'lief:die
guns," Prussia obligingly ft:initiated them with the
arms required and took their old muskets In exchange.
As, however, the new rifles can only be used With: am
munition furnished by the Prussian government,
Prussia may, by witholding It, prevent a shot from
being fired by those States without her consent. This
is quite a shari, trick, but we think those Philadel
