ROPE.
1--WE had the sentence Of death within our
selves, thatwe should NOT rust II ourselves, hut
In God, who raiseth the dead.'-2 Cor l. 9.
A whitening flower within the gardens bound,
Where Is no beauty nor rich fragrance found.
A useless cumberer ofprecious ground,
Even such as /!
Unsighty, dry and worthless to the view,
Tho kindly watched and fondly tended too
All! what Is left for the poor flower to do,
Except to die! -
A bruised worm upon a sandy plain,
Whose every creeping movement gives fresh
pain,
Yet some far distant goal intent to gain
Even such am IL
Slow, crawling on-the weak, crushed form
allowed
No 70 pite from the woes that closely crowd
What can the poor worm do but weaveits shroud,
And calmly die!
Yet mourn not for the whitening flower, tho
death
Shall bl ght her petals with his icy breath;
Their instant fall her glad submission saith,
Even 30 mayI!
All, wish not that the bare STEMS sad fate re-
pealed;
Lo! glowing fruit which those dry leaves con-
cealed-
1t ripened useful beauty stands revealed
The lower must die!
And grieve not for the weary path OF pain,
The bruised worm was travelling Ger the plain,
For steadfast weakness will its object gain,
Even so may /!
Deaths shroud aud grave will pass; so will the
doom -
That left the poor, crushed worm to rest in gloom
Who, bursting from his temporary tomb,
Scars to the sky!
Saviour, make me the flower that dies to give
Room for the precious, useful fruit to live:
Then, hopeful, my sentence may receive,
"Born but ito die'
And let my buried form await its doom,
Until from death to life the change shall come
And be raised, like Christ to share His home
OF bliss on high

band, that is. according to their own
laws and rules. But for the last twelve
months, l have seen enough to satisfy
me; for what don't know about Nor
monism is not worth knowing. They
have secret plots and objects that they
mean TO accomplish. They censure the
Government for not protecting them in
their hellish works, For all this they
mean 10 have satisfaction. My object
in writing thi. is to warn my female
friends to beware Of the false prophets
who are daily sent out from the Great

A Tall Nurse.

The Maine giantess Silvia Hardy. has
been engaged by Mr.. Covert. 20 travel
with his concert troope. She is native
of Wilton. in franklin county, Me-.
is seven feet six inches in heights
rather lean than fleshy, yet weighs three
hundred and thirty pounds--is nearly
thirty years of age. and is still growing
She has heretofore maintained herself
chiefly by service in the capacity of &
nurse, having the reputation of being a
most excellent one; but for few months
past, her health has not been good enough
for her 10 practice this vocation.
Her mother is said to have been be-
low medium size, and her ather not above
il. She was twin, and at birth weigh
ed but three and half pounds. Her
mate did not live. She has always been
an unusually small eater, and accustomed
10 labor.
Her figure is not erect, Like loo many
tall people. she seems to strive to appear
shorter by assuming something more than
the "Greecian stoop." which has the
usual effect of making her look taller than
she is. Her complexion is fair, her eyes
blue, and the very modes and mild ex-
expression Of her countenance is said to
he true index to her character.
We are assured that she never, as nurse,
takes an infant in her arms. but always
holds it in her hand. Placing the head
upon the end of her fingers, its feet ex.
tend toward the wrist. and with the
thumb and little frger elevated, she
forms an ample and admirable cradle
the length of her hand being quite equal
TO the whole length o. an infant.
She is unable to PASS ordinary doors
without STOPPING good deal. and it is
said that for convenience, she usually
puts her thimble and other little articles
upon the casing over the door, instead
of upon any lower object, as table or
desk.
An amusing incideu. is told of her,
which rms in this wise. and which is
said to be strictly true: While she was
passing through the kitchen Of farm
house one Gay with large pan of milk
in each hand. her hair caught upon a
hook which projected two or three inch
es from the ceiling, and held her fast.
She could neither stoop to set the pans
down, nor raise her hands 10 disengags
her hair. and was compelled thus to re-.
main until her cries brought Others to
her assistancs.-Portlend Argus.
