The Boston Advertiser speaks pleasantly
Of the out-burst of flowers in the enclosed
grounds of the City Hall in that village, and
blesses the Common Council for planting there
last Fall and this Spring, rows Of crocusses,
narcissuses, and hyaeinths. People look at
them, and are reminded that the earth was
ordained to produce other things than brick
and mortar. Now, the planting of few
such roots is small thing for Common
Council to do, but its benefit to the people is
not easily estimated. Neither man nor wo-
man can long continue in bad temper--sup-
posing woman could give way to such a
disposition-while looking at bed of gentle
flowers Flora's influence over humanity is
powerful, and always for good, and these her
gentle agencies are most potent. II is mis-
take to suppose that the masses of the pco-
pie are indifferent to flowers, or prefer those
which are large, gaudy, and snowy. Their
taste in this respect is often purer than that
of those who, in worldly circumstances, are
more favored. They love nature they read
her pages, and especially delight in the more
delicate traces of her pen or pencil A wise

SLEEP.

sleep" says Sir Thomas Brown "is 81
like death, that ! dare not commit myself tt
it, without first committing myself to God il
prayer" In a hymn that he composed OIL
the subject, are the following lines:
"sleepisa death make me try,
BY sleeping, what it is to die;
And as at last | lay my head
Upon my grave, as now my bed,
Where'er rest, great God. let me
Awake again, at last, with thee.
And thus assured, behold | lie
Securely, or to wake or die.
These are my drowsy days in vain
now do wake to sleep again.
come that hour, when shall never
Know sleep again, but wake for ever1

THE BoY cRrrro AND REpErrTroSs.

Old Father Bushnell, Of Vermont, used to
say that The best criticism no ever received
on bis preaching was from little boy who
sat right at his feet, looking up into bis face,
as be was preaching in a crowded room of a
private house. As be was going on very
earnestly. the little fellow spoke out, You
said that afore." fancy that an honest
critic would find in those sermons an hour
long a good many such sentences said Gfore
in the same discourse. and said qfore on al.
most every Sabbath day. A word to the
wise is sufficient

OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH.

fany doubt the necessity of a Sabbath,
in order to the maintenance Of our civil and
religious institutions let them look to those
nations which have made the experiment of
living without one. What was ancient Rome
with 100000 or 1000. 900, when she had
no Sabhaths, but the grand theatre of inhu.
manity and crime, whose deleterious influence
has, ever since, been felt all over the world :?
What was France when she introduced her
decades and blotted ont the weekly Sabbath {?
What have been Mexico and South America :?
And it may be asked, what are they now ?
And What has been that Of every Christian
nation contcmaing that heavenly institution

Ey-It i hoped that the committee
Of tho "Council' appointed to procure
a5 lamps similar to the one at the
corner ofLaurel and Levee street, have
not forgotten their trust in the general
excitement about other things.
The season is close at hand when
the absolute necessity Of light in our
principal streets is demanded. It is
apprehended that a civil war will have
to decide where the posts shall be
placed, when they are received; but
we believe no very serious danger need
be looked for. It is evident that 25
lamps will not be sufficient to light
up Catfish, and the suburb Grasse
and our neighbors IN those districts
must DO content to see the new lamps
burn in the principal thoroughfares.
