The sad fate of the late Prof. Mitchell

the different peaks. Upon receiving this

The PASSION FLOWER The follow
ing in Interpretation Of this justly celebrated
and much-admired flower will not he found
uninteresting. The leaves resemble the
spear that pierced our Saviour's side the
teudrils-the cords that bound His hands,
or the whip that scourged Him the ten
petals-tha apostles, Judas having betray-
ed, and Peter deserted the pillars in the
centre-the cross or tree; the stamina
the hammer the style the nails the
inner circle around the certre pillar = the
crown of thorns the radiance-the glory
the white in the fower-the emblem of
purity; and the bue-the type of Heaven.
On one species, the pa>ifora altar even
drops of blood are seen upon the cross OF
tree. This flower continues three DAYS
open, and then disappears, thus denoting
the resurrection.

SOUTHERN WoMEN.-A letter In the
Boston Chronotpye contains the following
nerited compliment to the fair daughters
of the sunny South. We seldom see the
truth SO promptly expressed relative to
anything appertaining to the South, by
persons in that quarter; hence we copy it
in compliment to all concerned:
e.The first thing that struck me in regard
to the women Of the South was their beau
ty of form, and their Symmetrical and har-
monious figures. In this and in the ease
anu grace of their motions they excel the
Northern women. Many of them dress
with exquisite taste-often very richly, but
seldom gaudily, or with any display of tin
sci. The proverbial atfabiiity and urbani-
| ty of the Southern character finds the full
lest development in the women. The
Southern lady is naturally and necessarily
leasy, unembarrassed and polite. You may
Igo into the country where you please you
may go as far as you please from town
Village and post Office; you may call at tht
poorest house you can find, and whethe
you accost maid or matron, you will be an
lswered with the same politeness and trea

The two Brothers.

The following beautiful Arabian legend
we copy from the Voice of Jacob
The site occupied by the temple of Solo,
mon was formerly cultivated field, pos
sessed in common by two brothers. One
OF them was married and had several chill
dren ; the ooher was unmarried. They
mony s1 Ppossb IL sne ggea5fS p9 aaE
they had inherited from their father.
The harvest season had arrived. The
two brothers bound up their sheaves, made
two equal stacks of them, and left them on
the field During the night the unmarri-
ed brother was struck with an excellent
thought. My brother, said he to himself,
has wife and children to support is it
just that my portion of the harvest should
be as large as his. Upon this he arose and
took from his stack several sheaves, which
he added to those of his brother; and this
he did with as much secrecy as if he had
been committing an evil action in order
that his offering might not be rejected.
On the same night the other brother
awoke and said to his wife, MY brother
lives alone without companion; he has
none to assist in his labor nor to reward
him for his tolls, while God has bestowed
on me wife and children is it right that
we should take from our common field as
many sheaves as he, since we have already
more than he has-domestic happiness
If you consent, we shall, by adding secret
" a number of our sheaves to his stack, by
way of compensation, and without isknowl
edge, see his portion Of the harvest increa
sed. This object was approved and imme.
diately put into execution.
In the morning, each ofthe brothers went
into the field, and was much surprised al
seeing the stacks still equal. During sew
eral successive nights the same coptrivanct
was repeated on each side; each kept ao
ding to his brothers store, the stacks al
WAYS remained the same But one night
/ both having stood sentinel to divine int
the cause of the miracle they met; eact
bearing the sheaves mutually designed TO
| each other. 1t was thus that all was eluci
dated, and they rushed into each other
arms, each greatful to Heaven for having
so good brother
Now, says the legend, the place wher
so good an idea had slmultan eonsly occur
red to the two brothers, and with 50 muci
pertinacity, must have been acceptable t
God. Men blessed it, and Israel chose
there to erect the house Of the Lord.

The work upon the state House proceeds

nearly to the foundation, and almost all of the
stone turns out to be good a few acci-
deuts have occurred, but none Of a very sori-

with stone have run off the track--ono of

other shooting It's load through the iron fence.
The Patriot states that twenty-five new
dwellings are to be erected in the village this
summer. If that number is fixed now, we
suspect it will be enlarged before the season
is over.
