INFLUENCE OF FLowERs.-"Picciola." a charm
ing creation of some French or Italian brain,
translated into our tongue, reveals most beauti-
fully the influence of flowers. A gay, hand
some end accomplished count cast into prison
during the revolution that preceded Napoleon,
0he first,) full of the philosophy of chance, is
converted from infdelity 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 unfolded its
leaves and blossoms, aided perhaps.
The world that lay hidden in its arteries and
petals SO adapted and answering to the world a.
round, so full of design and grace, so planted BY
providence. which caused the flying dove to
drop solitary seed in the prison yard, to solace
the human prisoner, wrought q deeper work
than all the books and tongues of men. Inspir-
ed by it from day to day, the count could no
longer resist-he erased from the walls those
words of skepticism and doubt, and wrote in
their place, II believe" In this prison-world,
where humanity sits chained by perverted pas
sons and blind desires, the "Picciola," and many
other gentle flowers, are softeniDg and convert
ing the human heart. By the wayside, in gar
dens, climbing rocks and cottage caves, s,shedding
light and fragrance over every grade Of life, the
flowers, like shadows of angels cast forward to
assure US, are among the most powerful and So
lacing teachers OF benefcent God.

PLowING BY STKAM-This is an important
subject to farmers, and is claiming considerable
attention in the United States We notice that
in the vicinity of Chelmsford, England, sue
cessful experiment of the kind was made few
weeks since, in the presence of large number
of persons engaged in agriculture. The Chron-
icle, of that place, says:
"The field selected was field of twenty-three
acres, called Mil Field, near the White Heart
Inn. The first start was with two double plows,
but as it wss exceedingly heavy soil, usually
plowed with three or four horses, very foul ,and,
from being lately drained, not living well, it was
difficult for the engine to pass over it, and, after
a pause four single plows were attached, and
although at first, from not being able to get the
going gear to work favorably, SOME little delays
were caused, after time they did their work
admirably, plowing from six to nine inches deep.
The work was wonderfully straight. though done
in the midst Of large concourse OF spectators,
who were evidently deeply interested in the ex.
pertinent. So clung and tough-so- close ana
heavy was the nature of the soil, that, in answer
to INQUIRIES made as to how the matter was 60
ing on, the observation of those who knew the
locality was: swell, if it can plow now, it can
plow anything" Many farmers who entered
the field prejudiced were unreluctant in their
praise, and acknowledged that the wonderful
machine, being still in its infancy, would, as i'm
provements followed, effect an extraordinary
change in the cultivation and management Oh
land of every description"

POETRY.


From the Southern Literay Messenger
Railroad Lyrics
AlR-"C0ming through tie Rye."
If an engine meet an engine
'Coming round q curve; )"
If they smash track. train and tender,
What do they deserve?
Not penny paid to any,
So far as we observe,
But all acquit the engineer,
When "coming round curve"
If an engine meet steamer
"Coming through the draw"
If they crush or drown the public,
Need we 60 to law?
If the engineer was careless
P'raps he's rather raw
They don't discharge an honest fellow,
"Coming through the draw"
If steamer chase steamer.
Running up to time"
If they burst their pipes and boiler
Where's the mighty crlme9
Should jury IN q fury,
Make them pay the dime,
Or send the officers to prison,
Running up to timc?"
If they MAIN or kill body,
Or body's wife,
Need body sue body,
For baggage, limb or lifes
If you sue for damages,
For pay for what you lost,
You get broken neck or leg
And have to meet the cost!

KEEP YOUR SABBATu.-Be jealous on this
point. Whether you live in town or country,
resolve not to profane your Sabbath, or in the
end you will give over caring for your soul. The
steps which lead to this are regular. Begin with
not honoring Gods day, and you will not honor
Gods house cease to honor Gods book, and
by-and.by you will give God no honor at all.-
Let any one lay the foundation with no Sabbath,
and am never surprised if he finishes with the
topstone of no God. 1t was remarkable say
ing of Judge Hale, that of all persons convicted
of capital crimes while he was upon the bench,
he found few who did not confess that they be-
gan their career of wickedness by neglect ofths
Sabbath.

A SERIOUS TRUru.-That man ceases to be
my friend who asks me if will be good enough
to allow him to ruin me by endorsing for him.
Every man has risks, cares, and anxieties enough
of his own. Itrequires all the prudence. can
tion, and foresight which the gloomy lessons of
the business records of the country are constant.
ly teaching us, TO enable US to steer clear of the
disasters which lie thick in our path. The man
who would entail his own perils on his friends
head is not friend, but a-well, yes-a fool or
q rascal.

Tom Darling

BY CALIFORNIA POET.
Tom Darling was a darling Tom,
excuse all vulgar puns;
A type of California's bright
Rising and setting suns.
His father was an austere man
An oysterman was he,
Who opened life by opening
The shell-fish of the sea;
But hearing of richer cline,
He took his only son,
And came where golden minds are lost,
While golden mines are won.
They hoped to fill their pockets from
Rich pockets in the ground;
And midst the boulders of the hills
None bolder could be found.
For though mining minor, Tom
Was never known to shrink;
And while with zeal he worked his claim,
His father claimed his work.
Times record on his brow he showed
A fair and spotless page;
And, as his age became him well,
He soon became of age.
Thinking that he was up to all
The California tricks,
He now resolved to pick his way
Without the aid picks.
In less than eighteen circling moons
Two fortunes he had made;
One by good luck at trade in stock,
And one by stock in trade.
With health and wealth, lie now could live
Upon the easy plan;
While everybody said, Of course,
He was fine young man.
But Thomas fell, and sadly too,
Who of his friends would thoughtitf
He ran for office, and alas
For him and his-he caught 1t.
Mixing no more with sober men,
He found his morals fleeing;
And being of jovial turn,
he turned jovial being.
With Governor and Constable
His cash he freely spends;
From Constable to Governor,
He had host of friends.
But soon he found he could not take,
As his old father would,
A little spirits, just enough
To do his spirits good.
In councils with the patriots
Upon affairs of state,
Setting no bars to drinking, he
Soon lost his upright gait.
His brandy straightway made him walk
In very crooked ways;
While lager beer brought to his view
A bier and span of grays.
The nips kept nipping at his purse
1.-TWO bits for every dram,)
While clear champagne produced in him
A pain that was no sham.
His cups of wine were followed by
The doctors painful cup,
Each morning found him getting low,
AS he was getting up.
Thus uselessly and feebly did
His short existence fit,
Till in drunken fight he fell
Into drunken fit.
The doctors came, but there their skill
Phey found of no avail;
They all agreed, what allied poor Tom
Was politics and ale.

LOOKING GUnrY.-Nothing can be more ao'
surd than the idea that "looking guilty" proves
Guilt. An honest man charged with crime is
much more likely to blush at the accusation than
the U real offender, who is generally prepared for
the event, and has his face ready made" for the
occasion. The very thought of being suspected
Of ANYTHING criminal will bring the blood to an
;nnocent mans cheeks in nine cases out OF ten.

THE FUNERAL OF BERANGER.-The funeral oi
the national poet Of France was attended by
some O,OO0 persons, who gathered on the Bou-
levard in the vicinity of his house, but were not
allowed to join in the procession. The govern.
ment feared popular outbreak, and only otti-
cials and persons who had received cards OF IN
yitation were present at the religious cereno-
pies. which took place in the church of st. f.
lizabeth du Temple, and formed part OF the cor
tece to Pere le Chaise. Beranger, who had al
ways been opposed to the government. was bu-
ried surrounded by the 6ayonets OF the govern
ment A letter from Paris gives the following
account of tue military preparations OF the tu-
neral:
About fifteen thousand soldiers, armed with
ball-cartridge. and distributed over the route,
or near it, over which the procession would have
to pass two thousand were on the Boulevard
in the neighborhood of the Chateau d Ear, four
thousand at the cemetery of Pere Ia Chaise, eight
thousand at the Place de Ia Bastile, and the rest
conducting the funeral cortege, holding the COR
dons around the neighborhood of the Rue Mem
DOME or distributed along the streets conduct
ing to the cemetery. There were generals on
duty. Two thousand policeman were detailed
to preserve order iu the crowd. Besides these,
all the soldiers remaining in the barracks of Paris
and all those in the nelghborhood OF Paris as far
as Fontainbleau, a distance of forty miles, were
ready with arms in hand TO march at u mo
ment's warning. A Minister said he had no
fear of serious trouble, for they could bring to
the city in one hours time fifty thousand SOL
diers. The Cabinet was en- permanenee the
whole day at the Count Walewski's. The Min
istry of Foreign Affairs was chosen for the place
of meeting in preference to the Ministry Of War,
because of the concentration of electric wires
Mt the former. The principal Foreign Ambassa
dors sent dispatches at regular intervals during
the whole day to their respective Governments.
