FLowERs.-Of all the minor creations OF
God, flowers seem to be completely the efiu-
sions OF His love of beauty, grace, and joy.
OF all the minor objects which surround us
they are the least connected with our abso-
lutte necessities. Vegetation might proceed,
the earth might be clothed with sober
green; all the processes of modification
might be perfected without being attended
by the glory with which the flower Is
crowned; but beauty and fragrance are
poured over the earth in blossoms of endless
varieties, radiant evidences of the boundless
benevolence of the Deity. They are made
solely to gladden. the heart of man, for
light to his eyes, for living inspiration OF
grace to his spirits, for perpetual admira-
ton. The Greeks, whose souls pre-emi-
nently sympathized with the spirit OF grace
and beauty In everything, enthusiastic in
their love and lavish IN their use of flowers
They scatter them in the porticos OF thel
deities-they were strewed in their con
queror's path-on all occasions of festivitl
and rejoicing they were strewn about o
worn in garlapds. The guests at banquet
were crowned with them, the bowl wa
wreathed with them; and whenever the
: wished to throw beauty, and to express Vla'
: ness like sunshine, they cast flowers.

PAIN KILLER

From the best and purest materials, and with
care that nsures the most perfect uniformity IN
the medicine. ,,
The reputation Of the Pain Killer has suffer,
ed more or less from numerous oounterfeits and
;mi,ations. that have been issued from time to
time. many Of them well calculated to deceive
nromisipg to cure diseases for which the Pain
killer is intended; while they contain few IT
any properties in common with it, and are gene
raiIy entirely worthless. These became so nu-
nervous mex that, in 1854 to protect the public and
ourselves, we went to a heavy expense in pro-
curing finely engraved steel plates for our la;
bells altering, at the same time, the shape o! 81
our bottles, from oc,agon TO fiat panel, with
" Davis Vegetable Pain Killer blown in the
oIssr On one side of each bottle is finely en-
erayed likeness OF Perry Davis, the inventor OIL
he medicine; on the other side Of each is oal
note Of hand, as finely engraved to counterfeit
which is held to be forgery by the laws of thu
United States.

THE TALENT OF 5uccEss.-Every man
must patiently abide his time. He must
wait. Not In listless idleness, not in useless
pastlme, not in querulous detection, but in
constant, steady, cheerful endeavor, always
willing, fulfilling and accomplishing histask,
,,tbat when the occasion comes he may be
equal to the occasion" The talent OF success
is nothing more than doing what you can do
well, without thought of fame. lfit comes
at all, it will come because it Is deserved
not because 1t is sought after. 1t is very
indiscreet and troublesome ambition which
cares so much about fame, about what thu

anxious about the effect of what we do o

LATE HouRs.-An eminent author says
that the present custom of having our hours
of business and meals later than our fathers,
especially late evening visits, whether to our
friends or public places, are mischievous to
personal and family order 1t is true and
by no means the whole truth. Keeping late
hours is pernicious practice, physically
and intellectually, as well as morally. The
old adage is correct, which assumes health
wealth and wisdom to be dependent largely
upon early retiring and early rising Fash
ionable dissipation in the shape OF balls
parties, and so forth, with the attendant los
of sleep, and eating at irregular intervals
responsible for vast proportion OF the all
ments that afflict society, including lassitude
dyspepsia and innumerable other complaints
Persistence in such mode Of living, for
single season, is enough to impair the moi
robust health aud bring pallor to the rosie
cheek

ABSTINENCE OF ROMAN WoMEN.-The
ancient Romans, in some respects, were in
advance of the present age in their practical
physiological knowledge. This was specially
the case in the habits of the women. They
seemed to be fully aware Of the fact that
hardy race must be born of healthful moth
ers, and consequently any usage or practice
likely to affect iniuriousty the health OF
women was viewed by the State with sus-
piclon. The muscles were systematically
educated. Frequent bathing was required
by law. Large bath. houses were established,
which were places of common resort. For
several centuries Of the past ages of Rome,
il was criminal offence for Roman mother
to drink Intoxicating liquors. at the time
of our Saviour on earth, and for long
period after, it was considered infamous fol
a woman to taste wine. For guest to offe
glass of wine to one of the women OF tn
household was looked upcA as deep insult
as it implied want of chastity on her part
History records several instances wher
women were put to death by their husband
because they smelled of "tometum." TIL

PEcULIARITIEs OF CHINESE PRAcTIcE.-
The physician approaches the sick room
with courtesy and politeness, and having
ascertained the nature of the disease of his
patient, proceeds to prepare his prescription.
Their prescriptions generally are vast COM
pounds; they go on the superstition, very
common with other practitioners, that 1T is
best to give several remedies together, SO
that one or another of them will hit the case.
sometimes they compound as many as fifty
or eighty different Ingredients, and stew them
all together and then administer them. They
hardly ever prescribe less than fifteen or
twenty simple medicines. The physician is
not so much prescriber as a seller OF medi-
cine He tells his customer what he thinks
best for them, or their friends, but it lie very
frequently the case that they make the selec'
ton. For instance, he may make up pre-
scription Of ten or thirty remedies to be
compounded, when the question will arise
how much is this to COST The physician
makes as low an estimate as possible, AMI
replies. The patient, or friend, may think
too high, that 1t cannot be afforded; and on
article or another is thrown out, to reduc
the cost-often the article most valuable 70
; the patient In some cases they cannot agre
ON prescription, or its price, and the patier
deliberately gives himself up to die rattle
than pay the price demanded.
