The FLOWER LEssoN.-"A where did
you get this pretty flower, my dear daughterl"
said Mrs. Marshall.
1.-The gardner gave it to me just now as |
came in," said Jane.
Sand what a beautiful flower it is 1t has
no green leaves, such as are placed all around
under some flowers we see. This is only
the flower. How sweet its perfume! 1t has
almost filled the room. And yet it is a very
little flower. And may not my dear Jane
learn something from this! If little simple
flower, like the one in my hand, can make
all the air In this room sweet, do you not
think a little girl of gentle manners and love
ly temper can do much to make her parents
and brothers and sisters happy, and so give
pleasure to all that are in the house with herl"
The little girl smiled, for she felt that her
kind mother was very pleasantly teaching an
important lesson.

NEVER GIVE UP!
WRITTEN For THE DUBLIN FREEMAN.

WRITTEN FOR THE DUBLIN FREEMAN.
"Never give up"-'Tis the secret of glory,
Nothing so wise can philosophy preach;
Think on the names that are famous In
story,
"Never give up" is the lesson they teach.
How nave men compass'd immortal achieve
ments!
How have they moulded the world to their
willl
IT'S that midst dangers, and woes, and be-
reavements,
"Never give up" was their principle still.
"Never give up''-though o'erladen with
sorrow,
Shake not the yoke-'twill more bitterly
gall;
"Never give up" for there cometh a NOR
Fraught with delights to compensate for
all.
"Never give up"-bear your fate with Sc
Crouch not ignobly like slaves in the
dust;
LIES a rough passage to realms of anne
nifty;
Dark i. the journey, but travel we must.
"Never give up" 1t can last but a sea-
son;
Will you-because a cloud burst on our
way
Basely surrender your manhood and rea-
son,
Weeping for griefs thai must end in a dayl
What, though the tempest around you be IA
wing?
Soon you'll have emptied LIES rancorous
cup.
Soundly you'll sleep where the willows are
waving,
Thunder wont waken you-"Never give up
"Never give up" 1t were impious to dream
of it,
Keen though your anguish be, never for
get
That there are fortunes, %, raptures to deem
of it)
Bright and immortal in store for you yet.

TREATMENT OF THE INSANE.

II vi LIE
The Trustees of the Worcester Insane
Asylum report the following cases as having
come under their notice. The name of the
towns whence the patients came, the fami-
lies with which they are connected, and the
%jailors who formerly had the charge of them
are withheld. But these particulars, ifgiven,
would not change the character of the facts
here presented.
Never shall we know the vast amount of
human wretchedness and suffering that ex-
lists in the world, that is hidden in its secret
places, until the record of all the deeds that
man has done in the body is presented to
the gaze of an assembled universe.
"No. |. When he was brought to this in
stitution, he had been twenty-eight years in
prison, aud he had not been shaved in all that
time. For seven years he had not felt the
influence of fire, and many nights he had not
lain down for fear of freezing. He had been
provoked and excited by the Introduction OF
hundreds to see the exhibitions of his %ravinp.
But what is the effect of accommodations like
those at Ipswich. upon this unhappy man!
He now keeps his bed and room remarkably
clean, and although very insane on certain
subjects, is most of the time pleasant, and
entirely harmless and docile. He shaves
himself twice a week, sits at table with six
teen others, takes his meals, walks a.
bout the village with an attendant, &c. He
had committed homicide. He is incurable of
course, on account of the long standing of his
insanity. But how the human heart leaps
at the idea Of mitigating sufferings so dread
full, even when it cannot wholly remove
them!
No %. He had been in one prison fourteen
years; he was naked-his hair and beard
grown long; and his skin so entirely filled
with the dust Of charcoal, as to render it i'm
possible from his appearance, to determine
what nation he was of. He was in the habit
OF screaming so loud, as to annoy the whole
nelghborhood, and was considered a most
dangerous and desperate man. When he came
to the hospital, the Sheriff advised to take off
the new suit of clothes in which he brought
him, as he had no doubt he would strip them
In tatters in two hours. He was, however,
Induced to preserve them with great care, and
has constantly for two years worn his clothes,
sleeps IN a good bed, sits at the table to take
his meals &c. He, too, had committed hon.
icide.'
"No. ?. An old man, of seventy years of
age or more; had been chained for ttcenty fire
years, and had his chains taken off but once
In that time. He has now for many months
been very quiet and civil, and behaves like a
gentleman-keeps his room in good order,

FAITH OF THE INDIANS.

Catlin gives the following account of the
BELLE. of the Western tribes of Indians in a
future state as described by an Indian Chief:
sour people believe that the spirit lives in
a future state; that it has TO pass a dreadful
deep and rapid stream which is hemmed on
all sides by high and rugged hills-over the
stream, from hill to hill, there is a long and
slippery pine log, with the bark peeled off,
over which the dead have to pass to the de-
lightful hunting grounds. On the other side
of the stream, there are six persons on the
good hunting grounds, with rocks in theiy
hands, which they throw at them all when
they are on the middle of the log. The good
walk safely TO the good hunting grounds,
where there is one continued day; where the
trees are always green; where the sky has no
clouds; where there is one continued scene
of feasting, dancing and rejoicing; where
there is no pain and trouble, and people new
er grow old, but forever live and enjoy the
youthful pleasures.
The wicked when they see the stones COM
ing try to dodge, by which they fall from the
log, and go down thousands of feet TO the wa
ter, which is dashing over the rocks, and is
sinking with dead fish and animals, where
they are carried around and brought continu-
ally back to the same place in whirlpools;
where the trees are all dead, and the waters
are full of toads, lizards and snakes: where
the lost are always sick, and never die =
where the wicked are continually climbing up
by thousands on the side of the high rock,
from which they can overlook the beautiful
country, of the good hunting grounds, the
place of the happy, but never can reach it,"

An AUSTRALIANS NORTON OF HIS STATE
AFTER DEATH.-In a recent published work,
"Eyre's Journal" may be found the follow
ing:
Mr.. Moorhouse, who has taken great pains
IN his inquiries among the natives around Ad-
elaide, upon questions of their nature, states
that they believe in ssul or sp~irit-iDituku'-
ga-soparate and distinct altogether from the
body, which at death goes to the west to a
large pit, where souls of all men 20. When
all are dead, the souls will return to their for
mer place Of residence, go to the graves of the
forsaken bodies, and enquire, "Are these the
bodies that we formerly inhabitedl" The
bodies will reply, "Wo are not dead, but still
living" The souls and bodies will not be u
nited, the former will live in trees during the
day, and at night allght on the ground, and
eat grubs, lizards frogs and kangaroo r t., but
not vegetable food of any description. The
souls are never again to die, but will remain
about the size of a boy 8 years oil. The
most singular belief-said also to be general
is that the white people of Austria are the
souls and bodies Of the black natives who have
risen from the dead, and returned TO visit the
scenes and persons familiar to them in the
former state of being. But the aborigines are
quite astonished that the new corners do not
seem to recognize either the scene or the Pc
sons-not know even their parents or their
children-cr the places where they lived and
died. They suppose, however, that the
change must ELECT an entire oblivion Of for
MGR things.

PRETTY SENTIMENT.-The memories of
childhood, the long far away days of boyhood,
the mothers love and prayer, the voice of a
departed play-fcllow, the ancient church and
school-house, in all their green and hallowed
associations, come upon the heart in the dark
hour Of sin and sorrow, as well as in the Joy
Gus time, like the passage of a pleasantly-re-
membered dream, and casta ray of their own
purity and sweetness over it.

WHO ARE THE BRAVE?

WHU ANE lHE DIlhN Ia
Who are the bravel The world has said,
The warrior with his keen blade red
With blood of slaughtered foes,
Whose banner floats in triumph where,
His victims cry of wild despair,
Late on the air arose.
The Laurel wreath that binds his crest
His prowess tells, and on his breast
The Star of triumph shines;
Ten thousand voices shout his name,
To tell the world, that "partial Fame,
For him her chaplet twines.'
He must be brave; for he has stood
Unmoved, where streams of life-warm bloc
Stained the green sod beneath;
Mid banners floating in the sky,
When rose the startling battle cry,
Of"Liberty or DEATH"
T'is said his frame of giant mould,
Stood foremost where the death-shot rolled
Along the CORY plain;
And his dark eye with lightning glow'd,
As proudly DER the field he strobe,
Mid heaps of foemen slain.
Fame with her trumpet voice speaks out,
And echoing hills ring back the shout,
And standards gaily wave,
In honor to his glorious name,
Whom congregated thousands claim,
As ''bravest of the brave"
But bark! commingled with the shout
Which from the a%pplauding throng peals
out,
There rises on the gale,
A sound that fills the burdened air;
The widows shrek Of wild despair,
The Orphans piteous wall.
Hopes blighted, ruined, homes laid waste,
Realms desolated and defaced,
Hearts crushed and anguish riven,
Are blended with the Warriors fame,
And with the shouts that laud his name,
Ascend to righteous Heaven.
And is it bravery to make
Mankind our victims for the sake
OF some ideal gain!
Is he not brave, and only he,
Who DER himself gains mastery,
Who can himself restraint
The victor of the martial field,
Who makes his foemen fly or yield,
May leave a name behind
For men in after years to read,
And while he lives, the thought may feed
His own ambitious mind;
But he, who wisdom's path pursues,
His own proud, selfish heart subdues,
Makes this his highest prize;
Regards as nothing earthly fame,
Rejoicing only in a namo
Recorded in the skies.
Armed thus in panoply of proof,
Tho all the world may stand aloof,
Or yield him only wrong;
He looks with calm and steady eye
On life's worst ills, prepared to die
And join The Angelic thrOng.
Go to the Martyrs stake-go view
The death-scene of the warrior, who
Dies on the field Of fame:
Which is more bravel he who has bought
A name by battles sternly fought:
Or he whom faith and lore have taught
To smile amid the flame!

Philosophy is rarely found. The most

forlorn of the human species, so true Is the
maxim which all profess to believe, land none

not depend on outward circumstances. The
wise woman to whom | have alluded, walks
to Boston. a distance oftwcnty or thirty miles
