The voice ceased-around the petals OF
the calyx folded its protecting arms thee
leaves chung to the fragile stem more loving
ly and then it dropped to earth, for life had
fled forever. The Flower Angel descended
from heaven with its treasure of pearly dew,
but when it reached that low, sweet vale, its
favorite had gone. Descending to earth where
it reposed in the pale loneliness of death, 1t
wept that its aflectionate embrace was not re-
turned, but through the long, long night it
kept near with its silent vigIls, while the star
light and the moon light were mirrored in the
silvery drop it had thrown around them.
Sweet zephyrs straying there mingled their
voices with that of the Flower Angel, sung a
requiem to the departed, and sighed that, that
which was so lovely had gone, gone forever

The BIBLE.-The Bible is book for time,
to guide through it; book for earth, to lift
above it; book for society, to regenerate
and elevate it. 1t is book for man, in
relation to man his brother-and for man the
sinner, in relation to God, the Savior. Its
depth is the mystery of truth; its height is
the splendor of purity; its mission is the
mission Of love; its course is the path of wis
dom; its sphere is the world of fallen man.
kind; and its end is the glory of God. Who.
ever is humbly led by it, is safely led to
heaven. 1t confonnds the conceted, battles
the speculative, rebukes the proud, frowns
upon the formal, denounces the ungenerous
dooms the proAigate and the impenitent
smiles upon the meek and selfdenying, assures
the contrite, and refreshes the way-worn
follower Of Christ with living water from the
fountain Of eternal love. Like all the works
of God, his work is diversified and harmonious
plain and profound, simple and sublime, suit
able and serviceable 1t contains the develop
ments of the eternal will, the thunderings Of
righteous and reasonable wrath, the benefac
tons Of unmerited favor, the rebukes of faith
ery fidelity, the beauties of holiness, thu
glowings of love, the counsels of wisdom, anC
the index of futurity.-Rev. w Bonner.

The Dying Flower
By FRANCESCA MAY.

Twas eventide; the sun hung low in the
horizon, pavilioned by one burning Cloud
Its slant light fell not on gorgeous domes and
stately cdifces, but on velvet fields with here
and there a lapse of wood stretching far
away in the dim vista. Within low, sweet
vale, there coursed a silvery brook while up
on its borders bright flowers bloomed.
The graceful tendrils of the dropping vine
were sweetly twined around the forest shrubs,
with clusters of cerulean fruit half hid by
their thick foliage,-then hanging low, they
touched the sylvan stream that watered all
their roots.
Among the flowers that boomed upon its
margin, was one most sweetly beautiful. Its
hue was like the azure sky above, geinmed
here and there with pearly white-its fragile
stem the brightest green, its leaves as lovely
as itself, and peerlessly it hourished among
its gay companions. The pure breath Of
morning saw it open-but few days had lin
gered to bless its beauteous home, and now
tho golden sun rays, for the last time, fell up
on its delicate form.
The silver cord that bound it to its parent
stem was broken-some ruthless hand had
touchedit, and life was fast receding. The
sun had gone-the twilight hours approach
ed. 1t felt the genial influence of heavens
cooling air; and upright it raised its droop-
ing head, opened its lovely petals, and breath
ed forth this prayer to God: "Most Holy
Father; to thee would again pour forth
my evening orison. | thank thee for that
life which thou didst, in thy infinite mercy.

prolonged only for a brief period, for well

which thou gavest me. soon must leave il

ohedienoa. Diligence. Truth.

1t is said that when the mother of WASH
ington was asked how she had formed the
character of her son, she replied that she early
endeavored to teach him three things: obedi-
ence diligence and truth. No better advice can
be given by any parent
Teach your children to obey. Let it be the
first lesson. You can hardly begin to soon.
1t requires constant care to keep up the hab-
it of obedience, and espe cially to do it in
such way as not to break down the strength
of the chld's character. k--
Teach your children to be diligent. The
habit of always employed is a great safe
guard through life as well as essential to
the culture Of almost every virture. moth
ing can be more foolish than an idea which
parents have, that it is not respectable to
set their children to work. Playing is good
thing innocent recreation is an employment,
and child may learn to be diligent in that
as in other things; hut let them learn to be
useful. As 10 truth, it is the on one essen
tial thing. Let everything else be sacrificed
rather than that. Without it, what DEEPEN
dence can you place on your child? And be
sure to do nothing yourself to give the lie to
your own precepts.
Learning is not wisdom We may master
all the lore of antiquity, be conversant with
all the writings, the sayings and the actions
of the mighty dead-we may fathom science,
read the heavens, understand their laws and
their revolutions dive into mysterious Of
: matter and explain the phenomena of earth
: and air; yet if we are not able to weigh oul
own actions and requirement with the actions
, of others in the balance of even-handed, i'm
partial justice, and repinc not at the yer
. dict; if we have not yet obtained the perfec
knowledge and government of ourselves, ant
, strictly and faithfully maintained the secret
spring of minds, the fountain of our opinions
and motives of our actions, if we have no
yet learned that i" love is the fulfilling of thu
, law "-aoe are not aoise--we are as yet onl,
on the threshold of knowledge. -Me Home

DoING Coon TO OTHERs.-Here is a pretty
story of little girl. Perhaps you have read
it before but it will do you good to read it
again;
GA mother who was in the habit of asking
her children, before they retired at night,
what they had done dnring the day to make
others happy, found a young Granddaughter
silent. The elder one spoke modestly of deeds
and dispositions, founded on the golden rule,
Do unto others as you would that they should
do unto YOU Still the little bright face was
bowed down in silence. The question was
repeated, and the dear little child said timidly:
A little girl who sat by me on the bench at
school had lost baby brother. All the tune
she studied her lesson she hid her face in her
book and cried. | felt so sorry that | laid
my face on the same book, and cried with her.
Then she looked up and put her arms around
my neck but do not know why she said
bad done her so much good"

EDITING PApER.-The majority of readers
seem to think that nothing can be more easy
or pleasant, than to edit paper; but of all
the different employments, there is none, we
firmly believe that so taxes the mind, temper
and flesh, as that of editing paper. There
is none that requires nicer tact, a sounder
Judgment, more constant application, 4
quicker wit, or kinder heart, A curlish
temper could never succeed as an editor; nor
a narrow-mmded man, nor an ignorant one,
nor nasty one, nor an unforgiving one. An
editor must of necessity turn himself inside
out to the public. He cannot be a hypocrite
any more than a husband can be hypoerite
to his wife. He must expose himsef in all
that he does, as much in selecting the thoughts
of Others, as in publishing his own, and,
therefore the better way for him in the outset
is to begin frankly, to save himself from after
contradictions and notifications. Whoever
succeeds tolerably well as an editor, is some
thing more than an ordinary man, let his CO.
temporaries think of him as they will.

A Essp onse TO Poor Old Maid"

NY dear maiden sister, why in such futer?
Those trials you have, are but brief;
Now try to be steady and don't be gddy,

There's always vexation in every station
Old maids have their part, well know
But, no use in whining, or any repining,
1t only adds sin to our VICE.

To have the &c muse" fit from your brain;
But. with your sister, who has noW, az euPr,
No muse to betake to the wing.

And never much good, could bring
To the sick, or weary, bereaycd, or needy,
For am poor, feeble thing

Whose perch, is upon the house topj
Ny perch is much io,cer, tits quite near the cellar,
In to which, must very drop.

That corner where bards often sing;
will he call me intruder, Il know Pm her scnior,)
If ask the same favor of him?

If this, to the winds he should fling
And hardly dare venture, to ask Mr.. Printer
To publish this poor simple thing.

BEGINNING AT ONcE.-Faith is the start
ing-post of obedience but what | want is,
that you start Immediately, that you wait not
for more light to spiritualize your obedience,
but that you work for more light by yielding
present obedience up to the present light
which you profess, that you stir up all the
gift which is now in you, and this is the way
to have the gift enlarged, that whatever your
hand findeth to do in the way of service to
God, you now do it with all your might
And the very fruit of doing it because of his
authority, is that you will at length do it be-
cause Of your own renovated TASTE AS you
persevere in the labors of his service you
will grow in the likeness of his character.
The graccs of holiness will both brighten and
multiply upon you. These will be your
treasures and treasures for heaven, too-the
delights of which mainly consist in the affec-
tons and feelings, and congenial employments
OF the new character Chalmers.

From the Crayon for April.
Frost Fancies.

The Frost's at work on the pane tonight,
Tracing his fanoies, the artist-sprite
His fances, so exquisite, dainty and rare,
They might be the dreams of the sleeping air
rystallzed-showng what summer things
She loves to fan with her faithful wings,
Leaves, and MOSES, and vines, and flowers,
Tangled in wildwood or trained in bowers
With drifts of sea-wecd, and dashes Of spray,
all mixed, in Dreams fantastical way,
With plumes of feathery ferns, and bells
That chime, in odors, through forest dels;
and hupting-horns, from whose silver throats
In nower-lke forms wind the frozen notes
And see, up theIe-how like angel -wings!-
All these, and more, are the wonderful things
Which the frolicksome Frost--the artist-sprite
On my window traces this wintry night.

THE Two BLEssINGs.-He that loses his
conscience has nothing left that is worth
keeping. Therefore be sure you look to that
And, in the next place, look to your health /;
and if you have it, praise God, and value it
next to good conscience; for health is the
second blessing that money cannot buy 3
therefore value it, and be thankful for it,

Where sweep the clouds along
So worship we our own green hills,
And cherish them in song.
And were l in foreign land,
Mid classic halls Of Rome,

Upon my mountain hoae.
I'd see among my native hills,
The cottage meath the trees
The tall ems waving gracefully
To music in the breeze.
The bright winooski flowing near,
Through waiying meadows grceh-
The lilacs where the robins sing,
When earliest flowers are seen.

Like shaft of FURNISHED gold
The green where roseate children play,
