though the bloom of life depart,

LOVE OF rLowERs.-In all countries
women love flowers; in all countries
they form noscgays of them, bu, i, ~
only in the bosom Of plenty that they
conceive the idea OF embellishing their
dwellings, with them. The cultivation Of
flowers among the peasantry indicates a
revolution in all their feelings. 1t is
delicate pleasure which makes It's way
through coarse organs; It is creature
whose eyes are opened; 1t is the sense
Of the beautiful, faculty Of the soul
which is awakened colors forms, odors,
ere perceived for the first time, and these
charming objects have at length specta-
tols. Those who have travelled in the
country can testify that rose tree under
the window, honey-suckle around the
door Of a house, is good omen to
weary traveller The hand that culu-
Yates flowers is not closed against the
supplca,ions of the poor, nor against the
wants OF the stranger. Flowers may be
called the alphabet Of angels, wherewith
they write on hills and plains mysterious
truths. = Canadian .9griculturast.

Patience.

Patience.
One Of the great prerequisites Tor the
successful training of children, a: home
or in the school room, is pdtience.-
Every teacher, whether the mother or an
hireing, will find her labors made easy
by the constant exercise Of this cardinal
virtue. Ii they 'let patience have It's
perfect work" IN their own hearts, 1t will
be visible in all their conduct and exert
salutary influence upon the minds oi the
Young IN whose future weil-belng they
feel a deep interest.
There may be hours when perplcxed
with care and worn out with undue labor,
the mother may feel the rsings OF lmpa-
tience in her heart: but let her not give
way to this baneful emotion, but mp 1t IN
the bud before its fruits become visible IN
acts of which she may afterwards bitter
lv repent. Let no unkind word or hasty
blow be given in anger, lest the relnem-
brance prove poisoned arrow to Their
bleeding heart, when those loving eyes
are closed ia death, and the head which
nes,les on her bosom is plllowed IN the
grave. Children are won by kind words,
but cross looks and harsh tones, deter
them from seeking our sympathy OF CIV
ing as their confidence. The mother o'
teacher should regard the sports oil child
hood as a blessing, JON IN their innocent
amusements, and draw from thence some
useful lesson for their future consldera'
ton. They should learn to look up te
her as friend in whom they can conilde
VINO will bear patiently with their child
ish folles, and in kindness seek to I'M
lproye whatever may be amtss IN thei
manners or morals.
But should they turn deaf ear TO he
teachings, and scorn her instructions
seeming inclined to follow the evil pfomp
,ngs Of sinful and perverse heart, sh'
has then need OF portion OF patience Y
suppor, her in this great trial, and enable
her at least to "overcome evil with good,
and bring them 10y the force oi 2reeep
and example to walk in wlsdoms pleas
an, ways Be kind, be firm and patient
and hope on till the desired result Is %
tanned.

hot one OF tue lawyers for the defense

the trial over, and the charm of money
gone, they are rresistibly driven to the

An article on the aoquit,al of Ward,
The Cincinnati Enquirer remarks:
"Whlle a man Is declared free by the
Court, he is branded bloody murderer
by society a, large. The Jury has saved
him from the dungeon or the gallows, but
henceforth Matt F. Ward can walk forth
upon the world, can appear in society,
only AS a man with bloody hands and
polluted soul. The Cain mark is upon
him, and wherever he goes society will
point to i, and hiss the malediction.
awe see it stated that the murderer
and his family had left Louisville, few
nights since, in close carriages, intending
at remote point on the river to take a
steamer for the South. The city Of his
birth and of his crime cannot hold him.
The society which he has mixed with
from childhood has spewed him out
He is a wanderer, and. far or near, in
whatever quarter of the globe, to hide

Matt Ward will ever be attended witt
the presence of his victim, while con
stanty in his ears will ring the blasting
