INFLUENCE OF FLowFRs-Picciola

a charming creation of some French OF

tongue, reveals most beautifully the
influence Of flowers. A gay, hand
some and accomplished Count cast into
prison during the revolution that pres
coded Napoleon, (the firsO full of the
philosophy of chance, is converted
from infdclity and world worship, by
simple flower (picciola) springing
between two stones in the prison yard,
which he beholds from the prison Of
his cell. TO chance which the Count
had inscribed on the walls of his cell,
that silent and wonderful agent, as it
un|odcd its leaves and blossoms, added
perhaps. The world that lay hidden
in its arteries and petals, so adapted
and answering to the world around
so full of design and grace-so planted
by Providence, which caused the fy-
ing dove to drop solitary seed in the
prison yard, to solace the human pris.
oner, wrought a deeper work than all
the books and tongues of men. Inspir-
ed by it flom day to day, the Count
could no longer resst-he erased from
the walls the words of skcptcism and
doubt, and wrote in their place" l
believe" In this piison-world, where
humanity sits chained by perverted
passions and blind desires, the Pic
ciola," and many other gentle flowers,
are softening and converting the hui
man heart. BY the way-side, in gar
dens, climbing rocks and cottage caves,
shedding light and fragrance over ev>

shadows of angels, cast forward to as
sure us, are among the most powerful
and solacing teachers of bencfccnt

MODES OF BURIAL. Modes and

MODES OF BURIAL. - Modes and
places OF burial have an historical sig
nifcance. The pyre of the Greeks
and Romans, the embalming process of
the Egyptians, the funeral piles Of
Hindoo superstition, and those bark
stagings, curiously regarded by Mis-
sissippi vovagers, where Indian corps
ses are exposed to the elements, the
old cross>road interment of the suicide,
the Inflammation of the carly patriarchs
and Christians-all symbolic eras and
creeds, The lying .in.state Of the roy.
al defunct, the sable catafalque of the
Catholic temples, the salutes over the
warriors grave, the "day of the
dead celebrated in southern Europe,
the eulogies in French cemeteries, the
sublime ritual of the Establishment,
and the silent prayers of the Friends,
requlems, professions, emblems, in.
scriptions, badges, and funeral gar
lands, mark faith, nation, rank, and
profession at the very gates of the sep.
ulchre. Vain is the skeptic's sheer,
unless the utiitarian's protest by
those poor tributes the heart utters its
undying regret and its immortal proph-
ecics, though mummy has become
merchandise" and to be "but pyra-
midically extant is fallacy in dura.
ton y for, as the same religious phil,
osopher Of Norwich declared, " 1t is
the heaviest stone that melancholy can
throw at man. to tell him that he is
at the end of his nature )" and. there's
fore, in the grim Tuscan's hell, the
souls of those who denied their immor.
tally when in the flesh, are shut up
through eternity in living tombs. How
the idea of local abode for tho NOR.
tai remains is hallowed in cur nature,
is realized in the pathos which closes
the noble and sacred life of the He
brew law-givers: " And he buried him
in the valley OF the land of Moab, over
against Beth poer; but NJ man know
eth of his sepulchre until this day"
