ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS. who
deck their hair with mimic bloom.
have, in general, little idea of the way
in which these false flowers grow. They
wear them light-hearted, in the gayest
scenes, and think not that they are
transplanted from the saddest. They
put forth their leaves and delicate hues
in sitting garrets, in fetid back kitch-
ems, or in hot, over-crowded factories,
where the gas-burners are often with
out glass or shade, and gas stoves are
set on the table to heat the tools, while
hundred women and girls from nine
years old and upward, bend over their
hot-house plants. Some hold the hand
stamp which cuts through sixteen folds
at time of the muslin or silk that is
to make the leaves and flowers. 9th
ers vein the leaves by pressing them
between dies, or paint the petals sep
arately with brush when the centre
is to be left white. Most of them are
busy with the finer work of construct
ing the flowers. The gum and wax,
dust for bloom, with potato flour, or
with blown glass powder for frost; they
twist paper or silk thread for the stalk,
and make the foundation on which the
petals stick. Slender wires are run
through the blossoms, and small gof-
fering iron gives them their curl. All
this is strange and fidgety work, espe-
cially by gas light, with blistered ting-
ers, thumb nails worn to the quick, and
the dust of paint and other material
inflaming the eyes, and preparing pa
tients for the Opthalmic Hospital. The
blues and carmines try the sight sadly,
and the latter causes heaviness in the
head. Arsenic green and verdigris
blue are seldom used; but enough is left
to poison the poor flower girls" exist
ence. She works in London fourteen
or fifteen hours day, and sometimes
longer. After thirteen hours work,
girls often take home sufficient for two
hours more.

COMFORTING THE AFFLICTED.-Cer-
tain it is, that as nothing can better do
it, so there is nothing greater, for which
God made our tongues, next to reciting
praises, than to minister comic to a
weary soul. And what greater measure
can we have, than that we should bring
10Y to our brother, who with his dreary
ewes looks to heaven and round about,
and cannot find so much rest as to lay
his eye-lids close together-than that
thy tongue should be tuned with heav-
enly accents, and make the weary soul
listen for light and ease, and, when he
perceives that there is such thing in
the world, and in the order of things,
as comfort and joy, to begin to break
out from the prison of his sorrows, at
the door of sighs and tears, and by
little and little, melt into showers of
refreshment? This is glory to thy
voice, and employment fit for the
brightest angel. But so have L seen
the sun kiss the frozen earth, which
was bound up with the images OF
death, and the colder breath of the
north; and then the waters break from
their enclosures, and melt with joy, and
run in useful channels ; and the flies do
rise again from their little graves in
walls, and dance awhile in the air, to
tell that there is joy within, and that
the great mother of creatures will open
the stock of her new refreshment, be-
come useful to mankind, and sing
praises to her -Redeemer. So is the
heart of a sorrowful man under the
discourses ofa wise comforter !; he breaks
from the dispairs of the grave, and the
fetters and chains of sorrow he blesses
God, and he blesses thee, and he feels
his life returning: for to be miserable
is death, but nothing is life but to be
comforted; and God is pleased with no
music from below so much as in the
thanksgiving songs of relieved widows
of supported orphans, of rejoicing, and
comforted, and thankful persons.
