The Use of Flowers.

MARY HoW1TT.
God might have made the earth bring forth
Enough tor great and small,
: The Oak tree and the Cedar tree,
Without a flower at all.
He might have made enough, enough
For every want OF ours,
For luxury, medicines, and toll,
And yet have made no flowers.
The clouds might give abundant rain,
The nightly dews might fall,
And the herb that keepeth life in man.
Might yet have di unk them all.
Then wherefore, wherefore were they raadey.
And dyed with rainbow light
All fashioned with suprenlest grace,
Up-springing day and night!
Springing in valleys green and low,
And on the mountains high,
And in the silent wilderness,
Where no man passes by
Our outward life requires them not.
Then, wherefore had they birth
To minister delight TO man,
To beauty the earth
To comfort man-to whisper hope,
Whenever his faith is dim,
For whose cnreth for the flowers,
Will care much more for Him.

FARMING.

The storms by which the commercial
world is convulsed, are calculated to re-
concile thousands to their farms who
had grown impatient at the contrast
presented between their certain means
of comfortable independence and the
apparent riches suddenly resulting
from lucky speculations. Sun never
shone upon class of men possessing
more fully all the earthly means of So
cial happiness and solid prosperity,
than the Agriculturists Of this Repub-
lie; and the gifts Of God are lavished
vainly' indeed upon that Farmer who
barriers the bless.n IS within his reach
for imaginary happiness with the pos
session of wealth acquired by the thou
sand gambling speculatons whose per-
nicious effects have temporarily paral-
lied the business ofthe country.
