FLOWERS,

No sitting room is completely finished
without q few choice plants within it to
give it an air of cheerfulness, with their
freshness and fragrance. Almost every
article ornament aud luxury costs money ;
but these the poorest household may enjoy
at the expense of little pleasant care, the
reward of which will surely and speedily
follow. 1t Is a constant source of delight to
watchi the expanding leaves and swelling
buds, growing as they do to be at once
cherished friends instead of things inani-
mate, whose influence upon the character
is ever refining and elevating, whose les
sons of instruction are ever ennobling and
purifying. Who that has watched the grow
ing beauty of some tender plant can won
der that the French infdel, Compre de
Charney, who spent months in the care
and study of delicate Towering plant, wa,
led by its influence TO believe in its Maker?
They are among the available means that
have been placed within reach of mothers
and sisters for rendering home attractive
to its inmates, and holding them within its
walls, leading them into the higher walks
of refinement and purity which those who
love the beautiful pursue. The lessons
which they may teach by means of them
cannot be forgotten, even though the path.
way In after life may lie among thorns.

From the Portland Advertiser, Jan, 81

The Daily Press appeared yesterday morning in an
enlarged form. 1t is now fully equal In size 10 any
daily paper in New England. In the arrangement
reading matter it has returned to the original STYLE
which we think quite an improvement in its appear
ance.
Since the Press has been under the editorial man
agement of Mr. Richardson, its editorials have been
high toned and reliable, welding powerful infiu-
ence its patrons on all polite matters. He
has taken lair stand alwaS discussing topics in
dgnifed manner, yet leaning in all vital issues with
his party. While we cannot always agree with all Of
his political notions, we heartily bear witness to the
ability character and culture he has Displayed in its
management, and wish him and the propretors even
more prosperity in the next year than Ii has had in
the past.
Its news is udciously and carefully selected, and
general culture and literary taste characterizes its
contents. As good family newspaper it has NO SUI
peror; and while Mr.. Lincoln occupies the city ed
itors chair there will be lack of local news as it
is generally acknowedgedin that department he has
no equal in the State.
The enlargement argues prosperous business, at
least for contemporary and VIC hope it will never
be found necessary TO curta the dimensions of this
enterprising and respectable sheet
