Reader. have you ever heard Of the beau.
tiful flower called the Espiritu Santo, or
"Holy Spirity' if not may I tell you that
this diamond Of beauty blooms only in one
portion Of the globe, near the Isthmus of
Panama. Its beauty, if We may credit the
descriptions given Of it. is unparalleled in
all botarical researches. Its roots are
bulbous, resembling those of the lilly, the
fbres alone being covered while the bulb

not seem to need as much soil for its sus-
tenance as many other plants, as it is gen.
orally found among rocks and in stony
places. It's leaves are analogous to those of
the lilly, being narrow AMI lanceolate. The
Hover, the exquisite portion of it, is not
larger than a pigeons egg, but is in the
form OF curious vase. On opening the
lid is disclosed the most perfect fac simile
Of dove with its head thrown backward
upon its body, as if gently breathing it's
farewell to earth, to soar to brighter regions
The sight Of such an extraordinary flower
must awaken feelings Of the greatest admi
ration. Such wonderful types of beauty
must draw from the mind keener pcrcep-

Inn nue ence Of Sensible womeN.,

1t is a wondrous advantage to a man, in
every pursuit Of avocation, to secure an
adviser in sensible woman. In woman
there is at once a subtle delcacy of tact,
and plain soundness Of judgment, which
are rarely combined to an equal degree in
man. A woman, If she be really your
friend, will have sensitive regard for your
character, honor, and reputc. She will
seldom cousel you to do shabby thing,
for woman. friend always desires to be
proud Of you. At the same time, her con-
stitutional timidity makes her more cautious
than your male friend. She, therefore,
seldom counsels you to do an imprudent
thing. By female friendships I mean pure
triendships-those in which there is no
admixture Of the passion Of love, except in
the married state. A mans best female
friend is vile of good sense and good
heart, whom he loves, and who loves him
IL he have that, he need not seek else.
where. But supposing the man to be with
out such helpmate, female friendships he
must still have, or his intellect will be
without garden, and there will be many
an unheeded gap even in its strongest
fence. Better and safer Of course, such
friendships were disparities Of years or
circumstances put the idea Of love out Of
tho question. M;ddle life has rarely this
advantage; youth and old age have. We
may have female friendships with those
much Older, and those much younger than
ourselves. Moliere's old housekeeper was
great help to his genius; and Montaignc's
philosophy takes both gentler and loi,ier
character Of wisdom from the date in which
he finds, in Marie de Gournay, and ADOPT
ed daughter, certainly beloved by me-"
says the Horace Of Essayists, with more
than paternal love, and involved in my sol.
itude and retirement, as one Of the best
parts Of my being" Female friendship,
indeed. is to man ''prnsidium ct dulce
decus'-bu.wark, sweetner, ornament Of
his existence. To his mental culture it is
invaluable without it his knowledge Of
books will never give him knowledge Of the

~ The sblest organ Of the Democratic
party in this State, the Davenport Demo-
erat d Nevs, says:
The Dubuque Herald calls our attention
to the fact that at . Democratic meeting
held at Mount Vernon few days since, at
which the counties Of Linn, Jones and
Cedar were represented, resolutions were
passed endorsing the domination Of Mr..
Mahoney for Congress. We SEQ that such
was the case, but what Of it? Docs it alter
the case at oil, Is we have stated it-that
the said nomination reduces the chances of
the success Of the democratic ticket at our
State and Congressional electionsf Not at
all. We see the proof it, even in the dis
trict in which Mr.. Mahoney is nominated.
As far as We have been able to ascertain
not more than one half Of the Democratic
papers Of that district endorse Mr.. Msho.
ney's nomination. At least We do net see
his name published in the party ticket. 1t
is useless to attempt to hide the feelings Of
the Democracy in this matter. The Herald
knows it too.

FROZEN KINDNESS. world is full Of
kindness that never was spoken, and that
is not much better than no kindness at all
The fuel in the stove makes the room warm,
but t.ere are great piles Of fallen trees ly.
ing on rocks and the tops Of hills where
nobody can get them; these do not make
anbody warm. You might freeze to death
for want Of wood in plain sight Of these
fallen trees, il you had no means Of getting
the wood home and making fire Of it,
just SO in family; love is what makes the
parents and children, the brothers and sis.
ters happy. But if they take care never
to say word about it; il they keep it .
profound secret as If it were crime, they
will not be much happier than if there WAS
not any love among them; the house will
seem cold even in summer, and il you live
there you will envy the dog, when any one
calls him poor fellow.-Dr. Holland.

With these words he handed the young

from the city proper.

Carl rang for the waiter, had the pro.
prietor called, commended the old man to
his care in suitable terms, and left the

Carl found himself on the way to the sub.

not without trouble that he found the house.
1t was a poor place. The young man
knocked, opened the door, and involuntari

young girl whose Inconsistency had made
his life burden unbearable, stood before
him. She had grown pale-vcry pale but
he knew her at the first glance it was
Bertha, whom he had once hoped to call
his own. At his appearance the young girl
sprang toward him overcome with iov,
holding out her little hand. The young

That other is my father answered the
young girl, looking up to the young man
with glance in which spoke the tenderest
love.
With lightning quickness the truth
dawntd upon him, the scales fell from his
eycs-suddenly all was clear. Speech.

arms and pressed her to his breast.
Come to your father, ne faltered to the
young girl.
MY father! Oh, God F.! I forgot where

Whils the wthersd and old still hang lingering on;

That its lie may disti in the fragrance of flowers;

That We almost claim a. still welded to ours
One more link let il he to the holy and good
For the cheek that discase had made hollow and

Like the beautiful face that II gone.
