Happy moments! happy moments
Oh how soon they pass!
From the dial Of the spirit
From the hearts hour glass.
Leaving both more sad and wretched
Than they were before:
Often Notwithstanding tishting-
Hearts unto the core.
Happy moments! happy moments
Never come again-
Since you are So'Short aud transient,
Since so soon you wane--
Since you make cur sorrows sharper
II were best 10 stay.
From the sad and silent temple
Ofthe heart away.
From the temple where grim sorrow
Sets all sad and lone;
From the heart where hate unhuly
Sets upon loves throne:
Here the ghosts OF nurder'i gladncss
Hold supreme control,
Threat ming from llA clay-ey temple,
10 drive out the soul

The ROSe-Hts Associations.

/ claim no originality for the remark S
which | am about TO make here, upon
the rose, as they are mostly scraps gath
cred here and there, from good old au-
thorS, making sort of contemplation
Of various authorities.
Old Evelyn tells us that the rose was
sacred to Harpocrates, the god OF ST.
lence. 1t certainly was sacred to the
Mother of Love, being the silent medi-
UNI of lovers thoughts, and suggested
silence respecting the mysteries of We
nus. At cornwall meetings among the
Athenians, the rose was the only deco
ratlve flower in use for long time, and
implied faith and secrecy among the
guests.
The term, UNDER THE ROSE, implie S
secrecy, and had its origin during the
year B. G. AT, at which time Pausanius,
the commander Of the confederate fleet,
was engaged in an intrigue with Nerxes,
for the marriage of his daughter, and
sub jugalon Of Greece TO the Median
rule.--IEeir negotiations were carried
on in building attached to the Temple
Of Minerva, called the Brazen House;
the roof Of which was garden forming
bower of roses; so that the plot, which
was conducted with the utmost secrecy
was literally matured UNDER THE ROSE.
1t was discovered however, by slave,
and as the sanctity of the place forbade
the Athenians to force Pausanius out, or
kill him there, they finally walled him
in, and left him to die of starvation. 1t
finally grew to be custom among the
Athenans to wear roses in their hair
whenever they wished to communicate
to another a secret which they wished
to be kept invlolate. Hence the saying
"suB ROSA" among them-and now
among almost all christian nations.
Placing rose in the ear is still a
custom among lovers in the Levant and
Grecian Archipelago, signltying-'Hear
all, and reveal nothing"
HATH, the Persian poet, sung the
praises of the rose in many an inspired
lay; and Anacrean-the bluff. hearty old
rhy mster--dedcated poem to the red
rose.--.N. y. Cuhiuator.
