"oNLY A SIMPLE FLOWER"

alt is only n simple wild flower"
said friend as he saw her eyes fixed
intently upon Il little blossom by the
waysidc.
Yes, only simple flower to him,
neither pretty nor bright enough to at
tract careless eye; but most lovely ana
dear in our eyes from sacred memories
which make it to us the holiest of all
Gods countless flowers. With it comes
back to us the pleasant sounds and quiet
gladness of a peaceful homestead, now
Il heap of blackcned ashes. We close
our eyes and we hear once more tho
laughter of joyous children, cchoing
through its corridors and groves of oak.
Busy little feet come pattcring in from
the woodland, aud nimble fingers choose,
from their floral svois this very flower
rs lovc-oilcring for the best beloved of
the home circle. Crossed are now the
| lit,lo hands in their still rCpose, quiet
the busy feet, and the sweet voice will
greet us no more until we hear it in tho
choir Of angels on the resurrection
morn.
"Only simple flower ~ but it bor-
dercd II school-path trodden by one
who-e feet from childhood, through the
short twcnty-twoyCars of his pure young
! life, never swervcd from the path of
d ity. lie, too, has gone to tread the
eternal courts, and the dust of our darl-
ings lies side by side in the country
church-yard.
"Only simple flower" but the
dearest memories of life, the bittcrest
throes Of mortal anguish, The dumb dcs-
pair of Il crushed woe, and the dawning
of anew and divine hope lie within its
leaves for us. 1t, too, will fade and
crumblc into dust like the hands that
gathered it, and it, too, has u resurrcc-
tiOn and II new life.

A VIRGIN HEART.

TIE author of De We're has made
some beautiful observations on the worth
and devotion of an unpractised heart:
" There is nothing under Heaven as de-
licious as the possession Of pure, fresh,
and immutabe affections. The most
fe!icitouS moment of mans life, the
most ccstatic of all his emotions and
sympathics, is that in which he receives
an avOwal of affection from the idol of
his heart. The springs of feeling, when
in their youthful purity, are fountains
of unsealed and gushing tenderness-th
spell that once draws them forth in the
mystic light Of future years and undying
memory. Nothing in life is so pure and
dGvOtCda as wOmau's love. II matters not
whether it be for husband or child, or sis
ter or brother, it is the same pure and un-
quenchable tlaEC, the same constant
and immaculate glow Of feeling, whose
undcniablc tOuchStonc is trial. DO but
give her one token of loVc-onc kind
word or gentle look, even if it be amid
dcath-thc feelings of that faithful heart
will gu5h forth as torrent, in despite
Of earthly bond or mercenary tie. More
priceless than the gems of Golconda il
IL virgins heart, and more devoted than
the idOlutry Of Mecca is wOman's love.
There is no sordid view, no qualifying
sclf-intcrcst in the feeling. 1t is Il prin-
ciple and characteristic of her naturc-a
faculty and an intutuation which alb
sorbs and concentrates all the fervor of
her soul and all the depths of her bosom.
would rather be the idol of one unsul-
lied and unpractiscd heart, than the
monarch of empires. | would rather
possess the immaculate and impassioned
devotion Of one high-souled and cnthu.
siastic virgin than the sycophanti(
fawnings of millions. There is moro
thrilling felicity derived from the unioE
of two guilclc5s and uncontaminatet
hearts, than all the conquests of Alex
ander, the wisdom OF Socrates, or tn
wealth of CrpSus would afford. Tn
general world knows n)thing of thes
things. None can appreciate the refine
ment Of pure feeling but those who b.
nature or some peculiar property of til
mind are qualified to drink of the depth
of its gushing and sparkling fountains
None can know the ciysium Of posses
ing a heart until they know tho walt
of Il gem so priceless-until they ca
think OF its cmhodyings as somcthill
too holy to be mingled with the gross,
images of passion and humanity-unt
hey at least imagine the spirit of ;
raph has been clothed with Il fofnl of in
perishable mortality. When this wi
dream mingles with the colder and mo
calculating visions of liic-the Wor
may put forth its anathemas-fortUl
may shower down its adVersitics, but
vain, even the sword of Asraol (tl
, angel of death would scarcely desttl
the unutterable Q stlcies Of this hoavc
, descending happiness"

THE MOTHER.

THERE is something in sickness that
breaks down the pride of manhood /;
that s0ftcNs the heart, and brings it back
to the feelings of infancy. Who that
has languishcd, oven in advanced life,
in sickness and dependency; who that
has pincd on a weary bed, in the lOnoli-
ness and neglect of q foreign land, but
has thoughto ON the mother that looked
on his childhood, !" that smoothed his pill
low and administered to his hclpicss-
ness? Oh! there is an enduring tender
ness in the love of mother to q son,
that transcends all other affections of
the heart. 1t is neither to be chilled by
sclfishncss, nor daunted by danger, nor
weakened by worthlessncss, nor stiaed
by ingratitudc. She will sacrifice every
comfort to his convenience; she will
surrender every pleasure to his enjoy
ment; she will glory in his fame and
eXult in his prosperity; and, if misfor-
tune OVertUkc him, he will be dcarer to
hCarcr to her from misfortune; and If
disgrace settle upon his name, She will
still love and cherish him in spite Of his
disgrace; and if all the world beside
cast him of, she Will be all the world tc
him.

RoBERr, the Bruce, in his dungeon stood,
Waiting the hour of doom, ,l . fI...,..
Behind him the palace of Holyrood,
Before him-a nanclCss tomb.
And tic foam on his lips wns ficcicd with rcd,
As.away To the past his memory sped,
Upralling the day of his past rcnown,
When he Won and he wore tho Scottish crown;
= Yet come there shadow or como there shine,
Fhe spider IN spinning his thread 50 fine.
"I have sat on the royal seat Of Sconc,'
He muttcred below his breath:
." lisa uclxless change, from ltingy throno
To q fclon's shameful death"
And he clcnchcd his hands IN his mad dcSpor
And lie strucll at the shapes that were gothcrins
there,
Pacing his cell in impatient rage,
Asa ncw-caught lion PAGES his ragc;
hut come there shadow or come there shine,
The spider is spinning his thread 50 ilne,
,'Oh, ,were it my fate to yield up life
AT the head OF my licgcman all,
In the forInost shock of the battlc-strifr,
Breakliig my country's thrnl,
I'd welcome death from the fUemauS steel,
Breathing prayer for old scotland 5 wcaii
But here, where no pitying heart is nigh,
by a loatily hand Vt is hard to dic;'
Yet come there shadow or come thcrn shine,

"Time and ngaiu have frontcd the lido

That how soever the issue went,
For evil or good was the omen saut;

AS mother waits for the hopeful word
For which her soul has ached
It was thus Bruce watched with every sense
Centred alone in that look k'ihtenSc;
All night he STOOD with scattered breath
Now white, now red, but rs still as death;

The spider is spinning his thread so fine.

When Mt the seventh, See, see

"Loi a bridge of hope to me:

UNCONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS

WASIIISGTON, DC, october rs, fbO
Colonel II. ". Bemes0n, and MUj0r H.
Y. iSulican, Quincy, Illinois.
1t would give me great
pleasure to comply with your request,
and visit Illinois to meet my old friends
and neighborS, and talk to thcm face to
face upon the great questions now before
the country. But it is dtpracticablc for
me to do so. Ny public duties forbid it.
- Our Government is worth preserving.
No people We're ever blessed with one
better worth it. But it is not certain
we will save it. There are now two
Tendencies in public affairs, both of
which are fraught with danger. One is
to a Capitalization Of power in the Cen
eral Government; the other, an absorp-
tion by the legislative department Of
many of the powers and prer0gatiVcS
OF the executive and the Judiciary.
The safety of free government is in
keeping the power near the people.
This was we'll understood by the states
men who formed the original thirteen
States, and united them and their pco-
pie in one Federal Government. ThCy
r gave to the General Government only
such powers as were necessary for the
whole people of the United States, re-
serving all other powers to the State.
respectively and to their people. And
in framing State constitutions aud laws
they placed as much power rs WAS com
patible with the general welfare of The
State in the government Of counties
townships, and lesser municipalities.
To guard still farther against abuse, o.
too great concentration Of power, they
distributed the functions of government
States, and Federal, in separate bodic
of magistracy. The national tendency
of power is TO strengthen its hands anC
enlarge its sphere of action and if IT.,
Federal Government absorb great pow
ers heretofore reserved TO the states, O
81 II fone department usurp important func
tons of the others, the structure of on
complex system will be radically chang
ed, and our free government will de
scend into despOtism.
The legislative is much the strOnge7
of the departments-and the most nc
gressive, because its members are rcspOu
sible TO no power but the will of tn
dominant party for acts of usurp0tiOr
1t is the only department from the cI
croachment of which any serious dange
TO our institutions is to be apprehcndCC
1t has heretofore exercised more inilu
epce than is compatible with safety an
entire freedom over both the EXccutiy
and the Judiciary. 1t has sometime
impressed pernicious influence upo
judicial action, and where it has iailo
to accomplish that in advance of JUDI
ments, has subsequently ovcruled an
annulled them. And, without at a
impugning the motives of legislators,
may venture to say that If the prcscl
Congress were not restrained by pc.i II
and emphatic provisions of the Cons
tuition, they would greatly abridgc,
they did not altogether amihiluto Il
power of appointment to and romoy
s1qffom office, now confined to the Exec
tive, and the sGIutary restraint whi
he holds over legislation through /
veto power. This is danger aiWa
