Spring and its Flowers.

A friend sends us this extract and
requests its publication. 1t is taken
from the columns of the New York
News:
Flowers, like music, are indispcn-
sable to the existence of a cultivated
and refined people, and a mind that
cannet enjoy the beauty and fra
GRANGE of a flower, loses much of the
higher and exquisite pleasure 81 life.
To these beautiful things of earth
we are indebted for many of the best
poems in our language, and the blind
god of the divine passion has coined
the sentiment of flowers into the Ian
gua9e of love. OttentimCS a bouquet
is the vehicle in which some passion
ate lover conveys to his sweetheart
those tender thoughts which can be
expressed in no other way. Flowers
mingle with our sad as well as our
gay thoughts and reflections. When
We lay away the last loved ones, and
they sleep the sleep that knows no
waking, what is so appropriately
beautiful as to wreath the body with
sweet flowers! They seem like ten
der links between death and that
undying love we cherish for those
who have gone before.

ors, and preachers and harlots went
forth from the presence of the king
sore abashed.
81. And they ground their teeth
in their mouths, and they swore they
had been sold even as Esau.
2S. But the people laughed them
to scorn and said, Let us drive this
herd Of unclean spirits from our
borders
80. But the elders and wise men
said, Nay, rather let them be, that
they may die of their own spleen and
bitterness, and their name become
proverb to the people.-LancoSter
Intelligencer.
American citizen. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1864-1890, 1866-05-31

The desires of a man increase with
his acquisitions. Every step which
he advances brings something with
in his view which he did not see he
fore. and which as soon as he sees it
he begins to want. When necessity
ends curiosity begins, and no sooner
are we supplied with everything that
nature can demand, than we sit down
to contrive artificial appetites.
American citizen. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1864-1890, 1866-05-31

WOMAN'S LAUGH.--A woman has
no natural grace more bewitchine
than sweet laugh. 1t is like the
sound of flutes on the water. 1t
leaps from the heart in clear, spark
ling rill; and the heart that hears
it feels as if bathed in the cool, ex-
hilerating spring. Have you ever
pursued an unseen fugitive through
trees, led on by her fairy laugh, now
here, now there, now lost, now
found? We have, and we are pur-
suing that wandering voice to this
day. Sometimes it comes to us in the
midst Of care, or sorrow, or irkSOme
business; and then We turn away
and listen and hear it singing through
the room like a silver bell, with pow
er to scare away the i'll spirits of the
mind. How much we owe to that
sweet laugh 1t turns the prose OF
our life to poetry; it fings flowers Of
sunshine over the darksome wood
IN which we are travelling; it touches
with light even our sleep, which is
no more the image Of death, but is
consumed with dreams that are the
shadows of Immortality.

PosrNAsTERs.-There is at present
great need Of persons, on all the lines Of
railroad all over the South, to be post
masters, and the reason is that but few
men can be found who can take that &C.
cursed test oath. There is but one way
that We can see to remedy this that is 10
get some lady-as in North Carolina.
where this plan has been adopted and
works suecessfully-to take the postmas-
ter's oath and let her appoint some
gentleman TO take charge OF The poslof-
Zee. The above method has been tried
and works well at other places; let it also
be tried smong US, for a while at least.

times catch ourselves wondering how
many Of the young ladies' whom We meet
with are to perform the part OF house.

eye them so admirngly have persuaded
them to become wives. We listen To
those young ladies Of whom We speak,
and hear them not only acknowledging,
but boasting of their ignorance Of all
household duties, rs il nothing would 50
lower them in the estimation of their
friends. as the confession Of an ability 10

meat, or A disposition to engage in any
useful employment. Speaking from our
youthful recoleclions, we are free to say
that taper fingers and lily hand are very
pretty to look at with a young mans
eyes. and sometimes We have known the
artless innocence Of practical knowledge

rather interesting than otherwise. But
We have lived loog enough to learn that

that the most loving, rortisntic. and deli

clean and tidy by Industrious hands.
And for all the practict. irposes of mar.

Cause and Effect.

! Human life has been pretty cheap in
this country during the few years past.
1t might reasonably be expected, when
war was over, disposition to better ex.
pect the eight commandment would su-
pervene, but as yet, it must be confessed,
one has but sorry evidence Of change
for the better. Men, indeed, have ceased

respect, no superior moras 70 boast Of.
Bloodshed, indeed, may not be SO fr--

we think it is quite up to the awful ave.
rage of the other parts of the country.
The Probst butcheries 10 PhiladeIphis

can scarcely be included among the mys-

The causes are pa pable enough. There
is first, the decentralization resulting from
a four years civil war. Next, the morbid

a numerous class Of crack brain writers

created sickIy public sentiment that is
adverse to the prompt punishment of
