profigacy. A
Now be was upon what he thought his death
bed, and labored under conviction If sin and
apprehension of the Judgment to come. As
he was thus lying, the cheerful sound Of the
church bell struck upon his ear, and with
shudder he exclaimed to his wife, who was
standing by, ooh Maryl if had only gone
and heard Gods word when was able; but
now I can't!"
That exclamation has sounded upon my ear
ever since, as though it had come from the
bottomless pit, prompting me to warn those
who are neglecting the gospel that the oppor-
tunity of hearing it will soon be gone. twas
glimmering of the torment Of the lost.

Prairie Flowers.

A feeling of disappointment is frequently
felt by those who having heard of the glory
of the prairie flowers, first seek them in their
native wilas. But the flowers are there, new
e,theless, fresh. glorlons and beautiful. OF
course, they do not grow in rows, or beds, or
on the margins Of geographical pathways
Nor do they pay much attention 20 the laws
Of caste; for monarchs are seen in the midst OF
homely and uncouth plebeians. Still, there is
a race of flowers upon our wild prairie which
which would put to shame the brightest deni-
zens Of royal garden. But you must follow
them to their fayorite hannts, ;if you would
find them. Away from the range Of unappre-
ciating eyes, and from the grazing Lerds; out
in the broad expanse, nesting in the tall grass;
in the tangled sedge, by the Stunning slough''
down among the 'sant hills" OF up among the
''gopher hills;" any spot and every spot, which
has anything to distinguish it from some other
spot-thers you will find the flowers. Each
has its HABrrAr-just as forest flowers, some
prefer the hills and some the valleys.
But no forest flowers in all this western
land can equal the rich and rare beauty Of the
prairies. Nature seems to have got up the
prairie flowers upon different type from all
others. Forms Of beauty you never dreamed
Of are all around. Before these, the strange
and gorgeous artifcials OF French inventive
genius sink to insignifcance. No thought but
Gods could compass them. And without the
aid OF The artists pencil, all attempt at des-
cription would be vain. But their habits are
wild as their own prairie homes; and though
you may pluck bouquet which will fiji yonr
house with beauty for weeks without decay,
yet II is almost impossible, by any attention.
to preserve the transplanted root from death.
They will generally die, even though the prai-
rie sod itself be removed undisturbed with the
flower. A more promising mode than trans
planting, is to secure the seeds as they ripen
in their season; but owing to the prairie fires,
and other obvious causes, this is no easy mat
ter.
Alas! for the prairie flowers; few years
more; and the plough share will have banished
them from the face OF the earth.-li Illinois
