Women and Flowers.

A garden | regard as an assemblage of fe-
male emblems, as harem Of metaphors.
There is no woman, OF any age, condition,
or appearance, but has her resemblance
among flowers. Some women blossom
their best, early in lie, like the violet, and
like it, lose their sweetness early; while
others reach later and longer though not
so lovely perfection, as the gilIhnwer.-
The manners of some women are Affection
ate indeed, but humble and beseeching,
like the appearance of the forget me- not,
while others will look the world full in the
face and persist in it, turning them impu-
IDENTITY and purposely about, like those tall
flowers which follow the sun. One wo-
man is fall Of pleasantness and song, and
exhales agreeable feeling as freely as the
wild thyme does its lovely scent; while
another has no natural expression what
ever, and when necessity ELECTS from her
The utlerance Of Il few words, the listener
is reminded of the bees fortune on forcing
his head into an unpleasant odour within
the lips of the snapdragon. Some flow
ers are best in a plat by themselves, and
some women flourish in ce!ibacy best, but
these are few, for most are like climbing
plants-unsupported they are Insignificant,
bat with manly strength to rely upon
their inherent capacities OF usefulness, and
comfort, and lovely life, unfold themselves,
Some females are as full Of words as a
dugrose is OF blossoms, while others have
less talk but more meaning, each single
sentiment being worth attention for lis ten
der thoueh,fulness; these are like HE reese
Of Provence, which have commonly only
two or three blossoms, but those are very

one, and often, what would society be
without the other? Daisies are little girls:

Some ladies are like pumpkins, Haunting
all over with blossoms, and eXuberant with
kind OF vegetable vitality, but which fails

while other women, and they are the more
numerous, lift up their modest heads like
snow-drops out Of the icy ground, and by
the fragrance of their promises and the
pretliness Of their smiles do they make
their despairing husbands know and trust,
that i! for season the surface be harden
ed and desolate. yet there are seeds o: hap
piness underneath, together with energies
OF nature, numerous enough and strong
enough to ripen for their joint frui'ion as
man and wife, fresh summer of plente-
onsnes and .eauty, together with accom-
panying warmth, affection and delight.

Romance in Real Twkish) Life.-A let
ter in the London Morning Herald, from
its Constantinople correspondent, under
date of July 9Th, contains the following
interesting narrative, as of recent occur
renee:
A young man, the son of a wealthy Ar
menian, rnsiding in one of the villages of
the Bosphorus. secretly wen and woed The
daughter Of Turkish Bey, whose valley,
Or summer residence, is in the neighbor-
hood. The young people met often in
places where they were safe from The eyes
Of the Bey. The youny girl was at length
so Inprudent as TO receive her lover in
the harem. Here he was Doubtless seen
by the iather, or some Of his people; for
the young man went there as usual on
Friday night, and never returned. The
friends ofthe young man, noticing his long
absence from home, grew uneasy. They
soon learned that he had been seen going
into the house Of their Turkish nei.hbor,
but when they enqulred there tor him, the
Old Boy said 1t was true he was under his
roof, but that he was too unwell to be re.
moved. They called the next day, and
the old Bey told them ,hst his daughters
lover was dead. The father Of the youth
asked TO have his sons body, but the Bey
refused, for he SAID th5t his son had be-
come Mussulman before his death, and
therefore his friends, being Giaours, had
no right to the corpse. The young man,
however, had been to ODESSA at one time,
and there taken Russian protection. Ap-
pllealion was therefore made TO NJ. d'Ons-
linoif, the Russian minister, to have his
body given up. He sent very strong
note to the Porte, and the body, in conse-
quence, has been disinterred, and has I'M.
dergone post norton examination. the
result OF which proves that the poor youth
was poisoned

SLAVERY QUESTION

Mr.. Hamlin gave his reasons for vorino
against Mr.. Burt's amendment. II had No
connection with slavery, and under circr,m-
stances could it be properly introduced. In
regard 10 Mexico, there could ne no con.
promise upon this queStisn-lhe Topography
Of The country forbds il, but he threw t6po
graphy out Of The question. Never could VT
extend the manacles and shackles of slavery
an territory which was now free. 1t wa,
right that all men here should know the po-
siiion we mean to take. And now, said nIr
Hamlln, we mean 10 have, if we can, a sim
ply affirmative proposition, DECLARING thai
there shall be no more slave territory annex
ed 10 the Union. He need no; be told thn,
such declaratory law would not be binding
Pass II, and il wonld become the fundamon-
tal law Of the land, and II it was not passed
now, ii would be passed by and by, and gen

and ierever--When the free states come in
10 The Union they would revive the question
and take their ground upon it, and refuse

BY this affective dispensaton of Provi-
dencc. an eetimable family has been berelt OF
a most ailectionatc and dutful son and BROTH
er; and the community in which he resided.
Of an enterprising, esteemed, and valuable
citizen. He was young gentleman Of un
uncommon promise and personal worth, en-
dued with strong mind, and an uncommon
aptitude and capacity for business About
twelve years ago, when lad of seventeen,
he went 10 the south, where by his energy
oil character, skill in business, regular habits
OF industry and economy. and fidelity in
every trust, he inspired confidence as far as
he was known, and acquired considerable
fortune. Though bred TO business and ar
dent in lis pursuits. there was in his charac-
Ter no tinclure Of that avaricious propensity
which the habit of acquisition is Too apt 10
beget and foster. His desire 10 gain an hon.
orable competence seemed 10 be with a view
mainly 10 the benefit Of others: and an en-
larged. open hearted, open-handed and un-
wavered beneyolence, was not less promi-
nent trait in his character than elevation and
recttude OF principle. Now he is gone, il
may not be amiss for the hand of friendship
10 record oil him, that many are the poor.

ure will mingle with those of his heart |
stricken family. His memory will be cher
ished with peculiar tenderness by those who
best knew him and were most conyersa.t
with his winning manners and endearino
qualities.
Smitien by that fatal enemy 10 life, con-
sumption, he failed to find on The shores of
Europe, the reliefhe sought there, and re-
turned TO the city and home of his adoption
only TO die.
1t affords some consolation 10 the full heart
to express our sense of so much amiabeness
and worth departed. May all TO whom he
was dear, testify their attachment by imiia-
lung his virtues, and while they read this
record oil his untimely departure, may it
quicken them 10 improve all their time and
talents IN the service Of God and man. Thus
may 'hey nope 10 secure not only compe-
Iehcy IN this brief life, but more endearing
treasure in that which is TO come.
