From Chambers Journal
FLOWERS.
They spring unnoticed and unknown,
Mid rocky wilds they bloom,
They flourish mid the desert lone,
They deck the silent tomb,
They cheer the peasants lowly cot,
Adorn the monarch's hall,
They NIL each quiet, shady spot
o, who can tell them all.
Some DER the murm ring streamct fling
Their blossoms bright and fair,
And there, in yernal beauty, spring,
Famed by the fragrant air.
Some meath the oceans rolling waves
In silent grandeur grow,
Nor heed the storm which Ger them raves,
But still in beauty blow.
Some, where the eagle builds her nest,
Where man has never trod,
Where even the chamois dare not rest
Upon the crumbling sod
Yes, there, cen there, wild flow rets grow,
In richest dress hrrayed,
And DER the elamorous eaglets throw
Their light and graceful shade.
Mid mountains of perpetual snow,
BY icy girdles bound,
Some, rendered doubly bcauteous, glow,
And deck the frozen ground.
And id cold winters angry storm,
The snow-drop rears its head,
And shows its pure unspotted form
When other flowers have fled.
Some, on the breezes of the night
Their grateful odors send
T. While others, children of the light,
To-day their perfume lend.
Some bloom beneath the torri1 zonp
Meath lndia's sultry skies
Mid lceland's mountains, chill and lone,
The forms of theirs rise
The stately fern, the golden broom,
The lily tall and fair
All these in rich succession bloom,
And scent the summer air.
In secret dell, by ring rill-
In gardens bright and gay
Within the valley-on the hill
Flowers cheer our toilsome way
Flowers image forth the boundless love
God bears his children all,
Whichever droppeth from above
Upon the great and small
Each blossom that adorns our path,
So Joyful and so fair,
Is but drop of love divine,
That fell and fourished there.

We well remember an awful night once pass

bright moon shining, and its silvery beams
came in through the open windows and made
the room almost as bright as day. There were
two beds in the apartment. We saw a strange
pair Of boots and apparel not our own alongside
of one of them, and we knew at once that we
had a roommate, but il caused US no uneas-

stole upon our ear. We listened but all was
silent again. Once more we approached the
