FOR THE WATcHMAN.
WOMAN-A FLOWER

There bloom'd fow'r of lovely hue
In natures gay romantic grove;
twas charming to the eye, to view
An emblem of the purest love.
Yes, modest Aow,r, twas born to blush.
lis beauties rare, its odors sweet,
And ev'ry tendril's glowing flush
Ownd its dear native, lov'd retreat.
The lily and the scented rose
Combin'd to form its foliage fair;
And vernai suns, at ope and close,
Had nurs'd it with tender care.
The gentle breeze-refreshing shown
Aided by nights distilling dew,
Had kiss'd the blooming, blushing low'r,
And sgh'd the breeze to bid adieu.
At length expanded-open wide
Its perfume flung on ambient air,
EvlDc'd It's gradual, growing pride,
More loyely-every day more fair.
Each youth ador'd its rich perfume,
And wish'd the tender fiow'r his own;
Though other how'rs were then in bloom,
Yet, none in splendol like it, shone.
No ruby's tint could dare approach
The briance of its tnctur'd dive;
No worm its bud could dare encroacb;
For, il was dear to soul and eye.
But ali the wintry storm arose,
Swift manlng through The darken'd sky;
The nightdew and the frost had froz.
The ustre OF its beamitg eye.
How little seem'd the timid fiow'r
To contemplate its early doom:
How little knew the sad, dread hour
Which had consign'd it to the tomb,
Thus WoMAN-iovely woman, dies,
gilded How'r on natures shore:
Her beauty fades-her fragrance flies,
And she is known how'r no more.

MIR. OWEN TO THE CITIZENS OF THE
UNITED STATES

nj sea, 1Nrto yOTh packet, OctO0eT, 1879.
Amefcsns-I am again fastening to your shores,
and return with fixed determination to exert all
my powers for your benefit, and through you for
that of the world at large.
In your industry, mechanical knowledge and
general enterprise; in the quality and cheapness of
your soil, in the extent and variety OF your climate
Id your liberation in part from the preudice OF the
old world, but more particularly in the freedom of
your government, you amply possess the means
to secure Immediately the most important private
and national benefits to yourselves and to your pos
teTty, and 10 give them to other nations still more
In want ofthem.
IL Is true you have derived many advantages from
your European ancestors, but it is equally true that
you have trauspanied a very large portion of their
errors and predices; you cannot, therefore, enjoy
TO their full extent the benefits to which refer,
u these errors Of the old world shall have been
moved.
The greatest and mos, amentable of these are the
notions: that human nature has been so formed as
be able to believe and disbelieve, and to love and
nate, at pleasure, and that there can be merit or
demerit in believing or disbeieying, and in loving
or hating.
These false notions are the origin Of evil, and the
real cause OF all sin and misery among mankind;
yet they are received and continued in direct op
position to every fact known TO the human race.
Every one may easily ascertain for himself that
they are errors OF tie Imagination.
Let any one endeavor by his own will alone, to
compel himself 10 believe what he dsbelieyes or has
been taught to think lac dsbelieyes. For instance,
let any one who is sincere christian, endeavor,
with all his power, to compel himself TO believe
that Mahomet was true prophet; or deyou Jew
that Jesus was the true Messiah aud Only son o. |
God; or conscientious Mussclnau, ihqt Mahoue
was cheat aud an imposior. o. again, let any one
endesvor dislike that which by his nature or edu
cation lie has been made to like.
This experiment. if fairly and honestly made, |
will be Sufficient to convince every one, iha, he
lief and disbelief love and hstTed are not under the
control of the viii II is therefore irrational in the
extreme TO maintain, that man can be accountable |
for either and most unjust ard Injurious 10 force any
such absurdity into the infant mind.
Yet al religions and laws have been hitherto
founded on this error. Hence their want Of success
