Flowers and Maidens.
BIZ EMANUEL MARQUIS.

A ruthless storm had pillaged
The howrets of their bloom,
And borne off on his pinions
Their leaflets and perfume.
The roses and the tulips,
That lawn and garden decked,
Were mourning and repining
\ At beauty robbed and wrecked.
But some Of their relations
OF meeker, humber bloom,
The violets In the valley,
Escaped their sisters' doom.
For, standing lovely, lowly,
In sweet scclusion bred,
Storm will not shake theirpetals,
N But sweepeth overhead. 4
Yet sporting zephyrs visit
The blossoms Of the vale,
And kiss the blue.eyed darlings,
And whisper loves sweet tale.
Ye gay, bewitching maidens,
SO proud Of face and form,
Beware, we roses, tulips,
wooer's passion-storm.
Ye gentle, modest maidens,
Who do not seek the gale
or pleasure and of passions,
Ye're violets in the vale.
Ye gentle, modest maidens,
May listen to loves lay,
When storm from prouder sisters
Has borne all charms away.

Corpse of n Guide Found I'm the Ice
Twenty Years After Death.

A correspondent of the Boston Transcript under
date of August /, writes:
Your columns on Monday contained a para
graph from the Gazette de Lausanne, informing
that the body of Jacques Balmat, one of the
earliest and most celebrated of Alpine guides of
Chamounix, lost twenty years since, had recently
been discovered Sin the broken up ice which
forms the arch of Arveron, still buried in its frozen
tomb" This must have been great event for
the Chamounans, and fact of more interest
perhaps, than many of your readers would sus-
pect.
The exhuned body of their popular old friend
the famous guide of Saussure in l7S6-was re-
ceived. we are told, with every demonstration Of
honor and respect, and nothing, dare say; since
the furore created by Albert Smith s party has so
excited the villagers resident under the shadow OF
what Mr.. Choate, in his brilliant oratory, carac-
terized as ga elimination of grandeur unmatched
on earth. ;"
Murray Hand Book of Switzerland and Savoy
informs us that "Jacques Balmat, the most dar-
ing, sklful and experienced of the guides, was
the first who made the ascent of Mont Blanc.
When he disappeared in 1895, he 20 years
old. He went out with hunter of Valorsine to
chase the chamois, parted from him near the Pic
du Midi, having proposed an ascent which the
other deemed dangerous; but poor jacques was
from his youth gold finder, who believed that
it would be possible TO become rich by such dis
covery. lie always preferred to follow this
phantasy rather than act guide, and he paid for
it the forfeit Of his life. The spot from which he
fell over the precipices ofthe Mortine, is known,
but to recover the body was considered impos-
sible."
This was pcnned ten years since, and twenty
from the date of his loss his body is found at the
mouth of the great Glacier, the "Merde Glace,
in most perfect state of preservation, at point
many feet below the line Of vegetation, and the
immediate vicinity of cultivated fields. The
source Of the river Arveron is in this glacier and
the arch is at the extreme point into the valley
whence the river emptes itself.
Here are continually deposited the debris of the
mountain sides, borne onward in the impercep-
tbly sluggish of this great sea of ice; and
here, preserved from the decaying hand of time,
the tearing effect of avaanches, and the attriton
of such subterranean journey, at this late hour
has como forth the corpse of poor Jacques.
have no data at hand to determine the dis
tancc traversed and descended by the body during
this score Of years, but recollectons Of time con-
sumed in pedestrian excursion in the vicinity of
the catastrophe, inclines me TO believe il from
three to five miles. Here is item in the phio-
sophy Of glaciers, and a remarkable illustration
Of the theory Of their mobility. The body was
literally engulphed in solid ice at the one end,
and reappeared at the other.
