THE USE OF FLOWERS.
BY MARY HOwITT

BY MARY HOWITT.
God might have bade the earth bring forth
Enough for great and small
The oak-tree and the cedar-tree,
Without flower ut all.
He might have made enough enough
For every want of ours
For luxury, medicine and toll,
And yet have made no flowers.
The ore within the mountain-mine
Requireth none to grow;
Nor doth it need the lotus-fiower
To make the river flow.
The clouds might give abundant rain
The mighty dews might fall
And the herb that keepeth life in man
Might yet have drunk them all
Then wherefore, wherefore were they made
All dyed with rainbow-light;
All fashioned with supremest grace,
Upspringing 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 4?
To minister delight to man
To beautify the earth;
To comfort man-to whisper hope,
Whene'er his faith is dim;
For whose careth for the flowers,
Will much more care for him.

SUBLIME TRUTH.-Let man have all the
world can give him, he is still miserable, If nc
has a grovelling unettered mind. Let him have
his gardens, his fields, his woods, his lawns, for
grandeur plenty, ornament, and qualification |;
while at the same time God is not in all his
tho'ts. And let another have neither field nor
garden; let him only look at nature with an en-
lightened mind; mind which can see and adore
the Creator in his works, can consider them as
demonstrations of his power, his wisdom, his
goodness and his truth-this man is greater as
we'll as happier in his poverty than the other in
his riches-the one is little higher than the
beast, the other but little lower than an angel.

Yet managing mothers and heartless daughters
are continually playing the same unlucky game.

love than women, because women think they

THE TWO ROADS.

| 1t was New-Year's night. An aged man was
standing at window. He raised his mournful
eyes toward the deep-blue sky, where the stars
were floating, like white lilies, on the surface
of clear, calm lake. Then he cast them on the
earth, where few more hopeless beings than him
self now moved toward their certain goal-the
tomb. Already he had passed sixty of the sta
ges which lead to it, and he had brought from
his journey nothing but errors and remorse.-
His health was destroyed, his mind vacant, his
heart sorrowful, and his old age devoid of COM
fort. The days of his youth rose up in vision
before him, and he recalled the solemn moment,
when his father had placed him at the entrance
Of two roads, one leading into peaceful, sun
ny land, covered with fertile harvest and re-
sounding with soft, sweet songs; while the 9TH
er conducted the wanderer into deep, dark
cave, whence there was no issue, where poison
flowed instead of water, and where serpents hiss
ed and crawled.
He looked toward the sky, and cried out i'll
his agony, 80 youth, return! my father place
me once more at the entrance to life, that may
choose the better wayw
But the days of his youth and his father had
both passed away. He saw wandering lights
floating far away over dark marshes, and then
disappear-these were the days of his wasted
life. He saw star fall from heaven, and van
ish in darkness. This was an emblem OF him
self; and the sharp arrows of unavailing re-
morse struck home to his heart. Then he re-
membered his early companions, who entered
on life with him, but who, having trod the path
of virtue and of labor, were now happy and hon
ored on this New-Year's night. The clock in
the high church tower struck, and the sound fall
ing Oh his ear, recalled his parents early love
for him, their erring son; the lessons they had
taught him the prayers they had offered up OIL
his behalf Overwhelmed with shame and grief,
he dared no longer look toward that heaven
where his father dwelt his darkened eyes drop
ped tears, and, with one despairing effort, he
cried aloud, 4" Come back, my early days come
backw
And his youth did return; for all this was but
dream which visited his slumbers on a New
Years night. He was still young; his faults
alone were real He thanked God, fervently,
that time was still his own, that he had not yet
entered the deep dark cavern, but that he was
free to tread the road leading to the peaceful
land where sunny harvests wave.
Ye who still linger on the threshold of life,
doubling which path to choose, remember, that
when years are passed, and your feet stumble
on the dark mountain, you will cry bitterly, but
cry in vain; 80 youth, return! 0 give me back

SAcREDNEss OF TEARs-There is a sacred

Humphrey has a happy singularity in the
presentation of moral lessons, and one which
often produces more permanent effect by its
quaintness than long lecture. Here is some
thing from him too good to be lost.
Though no doctor, have by me some excel
lent prescriptions; and as | shall charge you
nothing for them, you cannot grumble at the
price. We are most of us subject to fits am
visited with them myself and dare say you
are also; and now then for my prescriptions.
For fit Of envy-go to watering place, and
see how many who keep their carriages are af-
hcted with rheumatism, gout and dropsy; how
many walk abroad on crutches, or stay at home
wrapped up in flannel and how many are SUBJ
ect to epilepsy, and apoplexy.
For q fit of passion-walk out in the open
air; you may speak your mind to the winds
without hurting any one.
For fit of ideness--count the tickings of
clock. Do this for one hour, and you will be
glad to pull off your coat the next, and work
like a slave.
For fit of ambition--go the church yard
and read the grave stones they will tell you
the end Of ambition. The grave will soon be
your bed chamber, and the earth your pillow.
For a fit of despondency--look on the good
things which God has given you in this world,
and at those which He has promised to his fol-
lowers in the next. He who goes into the gar
den to look for cobwebs and spiders, no doubt
will find them, while he who looks for a flower
may return iuto his house with one blooming in
his bosom.
For fit of repinng--look about you for the
halt and blind visit the afflicted and deranged
and they will make you ashamed of complain
ing of your lighter Affections.
For all fits of doubt, perplexity, and fear
whether they respect the body or the mind
whether they are load to the shoulders, the
head, or the heart, the following is radical
cure, which may be relied on, for | had it from
the Great Physician: "Cast thy burden on the
Lord, He will sustain thee"
