Flowers AND MUsic.-Yes, two gifts
God has bestowed upon US, that have in
themselves no guilty trait, and show an
essential divineness Music Is one OF
these, which seem as if it were never
born of earth, but fingers with us from
the gates of heaven; music, which
breathes over the gross. or sad, or doubt
ing heart, to inspire it with a Conscious
ness of its own myseries afinities, and
10 touch the cords Of its unsupported,
undevelopcd lie And the other gift is
Chat of flowers, which, that though born
of earth, we may well believe, if any,
thing of earthly soil grows in higher
realm-if any OF its methods are contIn-
ued, if any of its forms are identical,
they will live on the banks of the river
Of life Flowers lsthat in our giadness
and in our sorrow are never incongru-
ous-always appropriate. Appropriate
In the church, as expressive of its purest
and most social themes, and blending
their sweetness with the incense of pray
er. Appropriate in the marriage hour,
in the the loneliness of the sick room,
and crowning with prophecy the fore
heads of the dead. They give complete
ness to the associations of childhood,
and are appropriate even by the side of
old age, strangely as their freshness con-
trast with wrinkles and gray hairs; for
still they are suggestive, they are sym
bolical of the soul's perpetual youth, the
inward blossom of Immortality. the am
aranth crown. In their presence we
feed that the body shall go forth as a
winged seed.-Elora's Interpreter

An EvENTFUL CAREER.-At the late
term of the Supreme Court of Lowndes
county, Georgia, a man, by the name of
Graham, was convicted of manslaugb-
ter, and sentenced to the penitentiary at
the age of nineteen years. We have
been informed Of a few incidents in the
life Of this young man, which will excite
sympathy ia his misfortunes. At the
age of thirteen, he was attacked by IT,
ger, which after tearing him badly and
crushing both his jaws, left him for dead
under covering of leaves, which he had
piled on him. Subsequently, he was
caught in a sugar-mill, and lost one
arm; was bitten twice by rattlesnakes,
and struck senseless by fash of light
ming. His greatest calamity occurred
a few months ago, when he killed one of
his neighbors in a drunken frolic, by
stabbing Since then he has laid in
prison, and has now term of years to
serve at some trade suited TO his pecu-
liar physical condition. Ifthere be any
extenuating circumstances in this case,
we should be glad TO see them brought
to the notice OF the Executive, for the
exercise of official elemency. We doubt
very much whether any man living ever
encountered similar perils. This is said
to be true record, without the least
fancy or invention. = Wakulla Times.
The MAN WHO DAREs TO DO RIGHT.
The man who can stand in the breach
of universal public censure, with all the
fashions Of opinion disgracing him in the
thoughts of lockers on-with tide of OBJ
loquy beating against the breast, and the
fury of the drunken rabble threatening
him with instant death and, worse
than all, having no present friend to
whisper word of defence or palliate in
his behalf to the revilers, but bravely
giving his naked head to the storm. be-
cause he knows himself to be virtuous in
his purpose that man shall come forth
from the fiery ordeal like tried gold
Philosophy shall embalm his name in
her richest JUNCTION. History shall give
him place on her brightest page. And
old, yea, far off posterity shall remember
him as of yesterday s.. -
