Music AND FLowERs- Two gifts God has
bestowed on us that have in themselves no
guilty trait and show an essential divineness.
Music is one of them, which seems as though
it were never born Of earth, but fingers with
us from the gates of heaven. Music, which
breathes over the gross, or sad or doubling
heart, to inspire it with consciousness of its
mysterious affnities, and to touch the chords
of its undeveloped, unsuspected life. And
the other is that of flowers, which though
born of earth, We may well believe, if any
thing of earthly soils grows in the higher
realm-if any of its forms are identical there,
will live on the banks of the river Of Life
Flowers, that in all our sorrows. in any event,
however incongruous. are always appropriate.
Appropriate in the Church, as expressive of
its purest and most social themes, and blend
ing their sweetness with the incense of pray
er. Appropriate in the loneliness of the sick
room, and crowning with prophecy the fore
heads of the dead. They give completeness
to the associations of childhood, and are ap-
propriate even b. the side of old wrinkles
and grey hairs; for still they are suggestive,
they are symbolical of the sonrs perpetual
youth, the inward blossom of Immortality the
amaranthine crown. In their presence we
feel that when the body shall drop as wither-
ed clay, the sonl shall go forth as winged
spirit.-E H. Chaplin.

you. The poor man looked more crest-fal-
len and criminal than the accused prisoner.
He opened his eyes and his ears, too; one
after the other, the Notifications in which he
had intrenched his resolution for verdict
against Choate, went by the board, under the
resistless forensic cannonading, and a ver-
dict for the defendant sealed the success of
that audacious declaration.
"Choate's countenance is by no means the
looking glass of his soul. 1t is too sallow
and bilious; the deepest shadows alone are
visible in the dark dial. He has, however,
an extraordinary instrument of gesture, rare
ly, if ever precedented; and that is his legs.
For it is frequent resort of his, by way of
emphasis, to spring up by bracing all his
muscles, and settle himself down again on
his heels with force which often actually
shakes the whole courtroom. His voice is
rich and deep, not resonant and metallic, q
quality which all outdoor speakers must
have, but rather wordy and deficient in
timber"

PARENTAL SYMPATHY.-Parents express too
little sympathy for their children the effect
of this is lamentable.
" How your children love You would give
the world to have my child devoted to me !"
said n mother to one who did not regard the
time given 10 her children as so much capital
wasted. Parents err fatally when they grudge
the time necessary for their childrens amusc-
ment aud instruction; tor no investment
brings so sure and so rich returns.
The childS love is holy and if the parent
does not fix that love OH himself, he deserves
to lose it, aud in after life to bewail his pow
erty of heart.
The childs heart is full of love and it
must gush ont towards somebody or sonle-
thing. If tie parent is worthy of it and pos
sesses it, he is biest, and the child is Safe
When the child loves worthy persons, and re-
ceiveS their sympathy, he is Tess liable to be
influenced by the undeserving; for in his soul
are modes of excellence with which he COM
pares others.
Any parent can descend from his chilling
dignity and freely answer the chids ques-
tions talking familiarity and tenderly with
him; and when the little one wishes help, the
parent should come out of his distractions
and cheeriully help him. Then his mind will

act with force. All parents can find few
minutes occasionally during the day to read
little stories to the children, and to illustrate
the respective tendencies of good and bad
feelings. They can talk to them about flow
ers. birds, trees, about angels, and about God.
They can show interest in their sports, de-
terminng the character of them. What is a
surer way than this of binding the child to
the heart of the parent? When you have
made friend of child you may congratu-
late yourself that you have a friend for life

After the Ball

They sat and combed their beautiful hair.
Their long bright tresses one by one,
As they laughed and talked in the chamber there
After the revel was DONE
Idly they talked of waltz and qnaarilie,
Idly they laughed like other girls,
Who over the fire, when all Is still.
Comb out their braids and curls.
Robe Of satin and Brussels lace,
Knots of flowers, and ribbons, too,
Scattered about in every place,
For the reve is through
And Maud and Madse in robes of white
The prettiest niglt-gowns under the sun,
Stockingless, slipperIess, sit in tile night,
For the reve Is done
Sit and comb their beautiful hair,
Those wonderful waves of brown and gold
Till the fire is out in the chamber there,
And the little bare feet are cold.
Then out of the gathering winter chill,
All out Of the bitter st. Agnes weather,
While the hre Is ont and the house Is still,
Maud and Madge together
Maude and Madge In robes of white,
The prettiest night-gowns under the sun,
Curtained away from the chilly night,
After the revel is done
Float along in splendid dream
To golden gitterns tnkling tune,
Where thousand lustres shimniering stream.
In palaces grand saloon.
Flashing of Jewels and futter Of lace,
Tropical odors sweeter q an musk,
Men and women Of beautiful face
And eyes OF tropical dusk
And one face shining ont like star
One face haunting the dreams of each,
And one voice sw erter than others are
Breaking in silvery speech
Telling through lips of bearded bloom,
An old, old story again,
AS down the revel-hauntrd room,
To the golden gittern's strain,
Two and two they dreamily walk,
Wnile an unseen spirit walks beside,
And, all unheard in tue lovers talk,
He caimeth one for bride.
Oh, Maud and Madge, dream on together,
With never pa!lg of .alous fear
For ere the bitter St Agnes weather
Saall whiten another year,
ROBBED for the bridal and robed for the tomb,
Braided brown Lair and golden tress.
There'll be only one Of you left for the bloom
Of the bearded lips to pres
Only one for the bridal pearls
The robe "f satin aid Brussels lace
Only one to blush through her curs
At the signt of lovers face.
Oh. beautiful Madge. in your bridal white,
For you the revel as just begun;
But for her who sleeps IN your tonight
The revel Of Life is dOnel
But robed and crowned with your sanity bliss,
Queen Of ht aven and bride Of the sun,
Oh, beautiful Maude, you'll never miss
The kisses another Lath won!

PURSUIT OF PLEAsURE.-We smile at the
Ignorance of the savage who cuts down the
tree in order to reach its fruits; but theatact
is, bunder of this description is madUSby
every person who is over eager and impatient
in the pursuit of pleasure. To such, the pres
ent moment is everything, and the future IS
nothing; he borrows, therefore, from the fn<
ture at most ruinous interest, and the con-
sequence is, that he finds the tone of his best
feelings impaired. his self-respect diminished,
his health # mind and body destroyed, and
life reduced to its dregs, at time when the
greater portion of its comforts should be still
before him.

MODERN PRovERBs.-Always put off till
Tomorrow what you can do to-day, for by
that means you will have time to think how
you can do it best and with the least incon-
venience to yourself.
Never do any man a favor. You will TINS
avoid being pestered with a superhuity of
false professions of eternal friendship. graft
tude, and all that balderdash.
IL you borrow money never pay it. You
can console your conscience by the belief
that if the lender had really needed it Won
would't have got it; ergo, this money was of
no use to him, and if you hadn't borrowed if
he would have spent it foolishly.
Take care of the cents and the dollars will
take care OF themselves-providing you get
them. Never neglect to pick up dollar in
preference to cent. Don't pick up either
if you can't find 'em.
Get all the credit you can, but never trust
any one. By this process you can speedily
acquire fortune.
Always consider yourself better than any,
body else.
Woman is weak Remember this. Never
give your wife anything that will strengthen
her; and especially avoid pleasing her. By
pleasing her you encourage her in thinking
you married her all for love, and not to have
your old clothes mended and washed.
Economy is not the road to wealth: be-
cause if you are economical and save your
money, what benefit is it to your neipbbor
who lives and tries to get rich off of your
expenditures Never study economy until
you are unable to do anything else. IF Won
are wealthy, you have no need of economv-
if you are in poverty, economy is useless. for
you have nothing to save

SURGERY IN ILLINoIs.-Mr. Brown, of Bic

crushed very seriously by log, and had ali

in attendance. Not a set of surgical instrul
ments could be found, and amputation Was
imperative rusty butcher knife and butch
ers saw were obtained-the knife whetted on
a brickbat; the saw, rusty and preasv wo.
good enough, The incision was made and
the flesh cut in professional style-the arts:
RES taken up with crooked fork and tied
WITH basting thread from one of the M. D,s
jackets; the end of the bone was scraped WITH
a case knife TO get off the grease and rust left
by the saw-the flesh was turned over the end
OF the bone, and cotton rag stuck on the
wound with shoemaker's wax Eight INCHES
OF common whisky was put into the patient
before the operation commenced, which made

This is considered one of the greatest tri-

THE WINANs' STEAMER.-The Norfolk
Herald of Monday says: The new Balti-
moreiron steamer WinaBs, Capt. Vaughan,
arrived here, as expected, on Saturday at
one o'clock, and lies at the city wharf at
Town Point, where she is visited by hun
dreds of our citizens anxious to see the
strange looking craft. She is entirely diff
ferent in appearance from any other yes
sci afloat, and lies in the water like some
great black sea monster with head and tail
under water and entirely concealed from
view. As she is intended, in view Of swift
ness, to go through, instead Of over, the
waves, her upper works, engine, &C., are
very compact, and occupy as little space as
possible. Being of considerable size mid
way, and tapering of gradually fore and
aft, in shape she is compared quite aptly
to segar, and is also very like many a
well shaped sweet potatoc.
We are informed by the Captain that
the steamers performances with regard to
speed and general movements in the wa
ter are satisfactory and equal to the expec-
ta;ions of those on board. She is expected
to go to sea to-day on trial trip.
Her length is 235 feet: tonnage, C. H,
203. The cabin, aft, is about IS feet by
20, and is quite comfortable and pleasant.
There is also cabin in the fore part of the
steamer.

MY MOTHERS VOICE.
BY LALLA VERNON.

How often in tie hush of solitude does
that silent mouiJor enthrone itself upon nv
memory! How oft does it visit me like
talisman from on high, or like some magic
wand welded from the sceptre of Heaven!
Those holy accents, like the low whisper
ing or distant murmuring of some sacred
rill, come gently stealing DER the heart like
soothing balm, or creep quietly over the
unconscious hours of sleep, keeping lone
ly vigil with the darkness around until
morn appears in her regal splcndor, and
smilingly bids the night withdraw his sa-
bic curtains.
Those gentle tones in the stiffness of the
air come waiting DER me like beauteous
spirit borne on angels wings, or like some
pearly streamlet sparkling all by noiseless-
ly. Can e'er forget such melody, such
lute-like music of the soul? Oh how my
pulses wildly throb, as, listening to the
strain, enraptured gazed as if to penetrate
the mist that gathers about me, and breathe
more freely the enchantment of the song.
Nv mothers veice-yes, methinks | hear
| it now mingIing softly, sweetly with the
breeze-like rain descending in gauzy show
ers, or like the golden dew-drops glittering
in the sun sent forth to WOO the earth's
bright flowers.
Unto such liken those lyric tones
even unto spring, the bride of the seasons
whose beauty nature has been taught te
worship. Her earnest prayer I'll ne'er for
get, breathed forth in low, sad tones, while
tears were glistening in her eyes like dia
monds OF light. Forever | am bound by ;
chain to the tones of that musical voice
and her look, so calm, yet serenely sweet
with all mothers heartfelt love. Al j
beauty, as gaze and listen in wild deligh
to the voice of the minstrel lay, as by start
it breaks forth on the reyelling breeze; and
! lperchance, catching the low murmur c
