the laws of civilized nations, he is the right
ful and exclusive owner of the land which

it, you will be the next President WELL
replied the General, instantly, that would

Loved Ones.

A bidding rose at morning,
Bathed in golden light,
As fair Aurora's dawning,
Blushed from the realms of night.
At MONDAY it was seeming
A lovely little flower,
Its compeers gazed, revering
The queen of beauty's bower.
Its fragrance far ascended,
The gentle rose of morn;
Its blushas, too extended
Ger heather and DER lawn;
The emerald bOugh that bore it
Seemed conscious in its pride;
Admirers, when they saw it,
Proclaimed it beauty's bride.
But, all how soon to perish,
The beauteOus morning flower,
Like those dear ones we cherish,
That fade within the hour;
A tempest passing near it,
Dispeld its form 50 fair;
Naught save the stem that reared 1t,
In loneliness was there.
Fen so with life's gay measure,
Review it as we may,
Oft mornings brightest treasure
Ere eve hath passed away.
And thus our fairest flowers,
Loved ones to mortals given,
Live briefly here their hours,
Then fade to bloom in Heaven.

The DATE.-There is no fruit that can
be eaten so constantly, or with SO much i'm
punity, as the date. 1t is like bread, and
is bread to whole nations of orientals And
what delicious bread, baked by the sun,
and showered in profusion upon the earth, to
be gathered and laid up for the future, ell
ther dry or in huge corbels, or pressed into
a conserve, which, when cut into slices,
looks and eats like plum pudding Immense
quantities Of this conserve are exported
from Egypt and Arabia into all the neigh
boring countries, where it is much priced,
especially in the harems, where the women
and children may almost be said to eat it in
eessantly.

An instance of distinction without diff
ference, was offered by the Irishman who,
having legs of different sizes, ordered bis
boots to be made accordingly. His direc-

petulantly, "Confound the fellow 1 or
dered him to make one larger than the
other; and instead of that, he has made one
smaller than the other"

FLoWERs.-H the universal heart of
man blesses flowers. They are wreathed
round the cradle, the marriage altar, and the
tomb The Persian in the far East delights
in their perfume, and writes his love in
nosegays, while the Indian child of the far
West claps his hands with glee as he gath
ers the abundant bossoms-the Illuminated
scriptures of the prairies. The Cupid of
the ancient Hindoos tipped his arrows with
flowers, and orange flowers are bridal
crown with us, nation of yesterday. Flow
ers garlanded the Grecian altar, and hung
in votive wreaths before the Christian shrine.
All these are appropriate uses. Flowers
should deck the brow of the youthful bride,
for they are in themselves lovely type of
marriage. They should twine round the
tomb, for their perpetually renewed beauty
is a symbol of the resurrection. They
should festoon the altar, for their fragrance
and their beauty ascend in perpetual wor-
ship before the Most High.

A "CoLoRED" AUTHoREss.- There is

written by highly intelligent and educated
mulatto girl, on the subject of the mixture
of the races The sable, or shall we say
fair, authoress, takes the ground that as all
the varieties of the human race have com
mon origin, and as the blending of divers
types produces a superior people, that there.

this continent is desirable result. She
advocates universal amalgamation as the
solution of the negro problem in America.
This process she terms "Miscegenation,"
which, she says, is better term than ANAL

circulated, in proof, in ultra circles, and it is
said to be remarkably clever for negress.
