LIFE AND FLOWERS. are specie. of flowers which can bear the hot sun and the rutfiIng winds of the world, and which flourish as fairly in the crowded saioons "h ther they are conveyed as in the secluded repositories of the native woods. But there are others, and these are the finer and purer sorts. which ex> Pand their blossoms only. in the shade, and which never exhale their fragrance but 10 those only who seek them, amid the peaceful shelter of the scenes winch gave them biIth. Hence it is that they blossom unnOticed and unatlmired by the needless and by the busy. who either will not employ the care, or do not possess the leisure which is requisite to discover ard admire their hidden beauties. So. in life, we find the sweetest heas,s in calm re- t'rement. and, when obtained, how pre- clous they ase.-Portland Umpire.

 They had long line of kings in the family of U,cas. One of the last was Zachary but he was great drunkard. But sense of the dignity of his office came over him. and he resolved h.. would drink no more. Just before the annual election, he was accustomed to go every year to Lebanon, and dine with his b other Governor, the first Governor 1rnmbul. One of the Governors boys heard old Zacha' rvs story, and thought he would try hlm, and s.e if he would stick to his cold water. So at table he said to the old chief f" Zachary, this beer is excellent-wils you taste it " The old man dropped his knife, leaned forward with stern intensity of expression, lis black eye, sparkling with indignation. was fixed upon him. Iohn.' said he. you do not know what you are doing. You are serving the devil, boy! I tell you that am an Indian! ltell you that am; and if should but taste your beer, l could sol stop until go to ruin, and become again the drunken. contemplate wretch your father knows me to have been. John-while you live never tempt man to bre,k good re,olution.'
 This story the venerable Col TIumbOil tells of himself. Let all our readers remember 1t, aud never tempt man 10 break good reso- lution.
