APret1y TncIdent.

The Louisville journal relates a very
pretty incident, in which San Fran
cisco physician figures as the hero. A
young lady from the South, it seems,
was wooed and won by a youthful
physician living IN California. When
the engagement was made the doctor
was rich, having been very successful
at San Francisco. IL had not existed
many months, however, when by an
unfortunate investment, he lost his
entire heap" The event came upon
him, il should be added. just ss he was
about to claim his bride. What does
he do? Why, like an honorable. and
chivalrous young fellow, as he is, he
sits down and writes the young lady
the particulars of the unhappy turn
which had taken place in his fortunes,
assuring her that if the fact produces
any charge Of feeling towards him, she
was released from all the promises she
had made TO HIM. And what does she,
the dear, good girl? Why. she takes
lump of pure gold which her lover had
sent her in his prosperity as a keepsake,
and having 1t manufactured into ring,
forwards it to him, with the following
Bible inscription engraved in distinct
characters on the outside: "Entreat
me not to leave thee, or to return
from following after thee; for whittier
thou goest l will go, and where thou
lodgest l will lodge; thy people shall
be my people, and thy God my God
where thou diest / will die, and there
will be buried the Lord do so b me
and more also. if aught but death part
me and thee" The lover idolizsd his
sweetheart more than ever, when he
received this precious evidence of her
devotion to him, both in storm and
sunshine. We may add that fortune
soon again smiled upon the young ply
siciau, and that he subsequently re-
turned to the South to we'd the sweet
girl he loved, and who loved him with
such an undying affection. Young
ladies who read the Bible, as the
heroine of this incident seems to have
done are pretty sure to make good
sWe eethearts and better wives.

The Use of Flowers.

The time has gone by-if it ever ex
isted-when a man was esteemed les
sensible or practical because'he ap
preciated the beauty Of flowers, and
loved to have them around him. Each
year we are learning more and more oi
their loyeliness, and showing the evi
deuce of a better educated taste in the
more extended use we make Of boquets
aad garlands. A writer says:
There has been of late years amarked
increase in the use of flowers for social
purposes. Every dinner party or dane
ing party must be graced with these
stars OF the earth. At large assem-
blies there is always a lavish display of
flowers, as if it were designed to intox-
icate the guests with the delicious odors
of innumerable blossoms. If we visit
a lady, flowers must precede our COM
ing. if we drive out with her, the odor
of flowers must sweeten the pleasure.
Superb presentation baskets and bo-
quets are now seen in almost every
parlor, and are the horticultural COM
pliments of gentlemen to ladies. The
faVorite flowers are the camelis, japOni-
ca, the sweet Neapolitan violet, and the
white and tea rose. Although a large
capital is employed in producing these,
the supply always IS unequal to the de-
mand, and they bring high, even ex-
travagant prices on great occasions
Flowers are, of course extensively used
at weddings, but according to the ho-
rists. they are employed more literally
at funerals. Five hundred dollars are
not unfrequently expended in crosses
and Wreaths for these solemn occasions.
Aa weddings and funerals require white
flowers only, they cause these to be
more rare, and of higher price than col
ored ones. Some of our churches, of
late years, have emp.oyed flowers ex-
tensively on occasions of religious fes-
tivals.

THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE.

Whatever else to the night has gone
The night that never shall know a dawu--
1t stands undimmed in my memory still,
The old brown school house on the hill.
I see the briers beside the door.
The rocks where we played at Keeping store,
The steps we dug 10 the earth belOg.
And the bear track" trod in the winter snow
The corner brick on the chimney lies
Just as il did IN my boyish eyes,
And in dreams throw the stones again.
threw at the topping brick In vain.
The names on the weather-boards are part
0fthe sacred treasures of my hetrf:
Some yet a place with earth-souuts keep.
And some in the holds Of silence sleep.
I hear the groEI, from his central lair,
OF theswiftest boy who stood for fbear:"
And the sound brings back the idy and GLOW
Of the chase around the ring Of sbpw.
Often again in thought slide
On the stone boat down the long bill side,
The breathlesi speed. AM the dizzy reel.
And the wind in my lifted hair feel.
Ah me! There ar spots that hold my dead
In a sleep unstirred by memOryis tread:
And many a scene of life's triumph lies
Deep in the mistS that never rise.
And things of rapture and things d tears.
Are hidden within the veil Of yeas,
But the old brown school house on the hill,
1t stands undimmed in my memory atill.

TIE ANCIENT ROMAN WoNEN.-The
ancient Romans in some respects, were
in advance of the present age in
their practical physiological knowledge
This was especially the case in the
habits of the women. They seemed to
be fully aware that hardy race must
be born of healthy mothers, and con-
seouently any usage or practice likely
to effect iDjuriously the health of wo-
mer was viewed by the state with sus.
picion. The muscles were systemsti-
calIy educated. Frequent bathing was
required by law. Large bath horses
we're established, which were places of
common resort. For several centuries
of the best ages of Rome II was a GRIM
iual offense for a roman mother todrink
intoxicating liquors. At the time OF
our Saviour on earth, and for long
period after, it was considered infamous
for a Roman woman to taste wine.
For q guest to offer glass of wine to
one of the household was looked upon
as a deep insult, and it implied want
of chastity on her part. History records
several cases where they were put to
death by their husbands because they
smelt of ''tomatum." The consequence
of this physical trlining and abstinence
from all intoxicating liquors was that
the Romans were noted for their en-
durance and strength.

The Author OF ssThe Raven,

MY best friend would be he who
would take a pistol and blow out my
brains, and thus relieve me of my
misery"
So sale Edgar Allan Poe. His lips
curled bitterly. These were his dying
words.
Such was the unhappy state of one
whom Dissipation had robbed of the
pure eDioyments of life, and brought
to hopeless ruin. He had been reared
in the most elegant society, and educa-
ted in the most polished schools. He
possessed poetic gifts of unwonted
beauty and brilliancy. The productions
of his muse we're few and fragmentary
melancholy prophecies of what he
might have been-but they made him
a marked man among the lovers of
poesy throughout the world. He lack
ed symmetry Of character, and, with all
of these advantages that he possessed
over others he was wayward as youth,
passionate in maturer years, and al
ways unnamed at the sparkle of the
Intoxicating cup. He blazed awhile in
the literary armament, "the comet of a
season." but he left behind him an un-
worthy influence, reproachful memo
~, and the admonition of fearful end.
He was making a journey when his
death occurred, and his mind was
occupied with the preparation for his
wedding day. Better impulses warmed
his heart and Modified his passions at
the thought of his approaching nuptu-
ole opd the snptSrhf of the f,t,,ra
glsddened again the vision Of his mind.
Golden days filed his fancy-days of
the tenderness of coDjugal love. and
the sweet habitudes of domestic bliss.
He stopped at the city of Baltimore.
He met old companions, jolly fellows,
with whom he had passed conVivial
hours. The intoxicating cup glittered
before him. The temptation was too
great. He would spend one more eve
ming with his friends of the bowl. He
would have one more revel ere he
entered that purer sphere, depicted in
his dreams.
That cherries November night he
was found lying in the street, stupe6ed
with drinking, covered with dirt, and
his face distorted with horror. His
jovial companions had deserted him
He was taken TO hospital. A fearful
dream rose upon him and fred his
brain. Delirium with her thousand
demons darken his intellect, once
beautiful with airy thought and poetic
farcies. Mania potu ensues. A cler-
gyman is sent for. "Shall | send for
your friends ?" asked the pious man.
/" "Friends?" said the dying man, as
though the word was a mockery, my
best friend would be he who would
take a pistol and blow out my brains,
and thus relieve me of my misery" :"
We hear men cavil at religion. What
a treasure, beyond all estimate, early
piety would have been to the soul of
poor Edgsr Allan Poel

SocIETY.-In the ordinary commerce
Of one human being with another,
which takes place in the every day rou-
tine of that dull machine which is call
ed society, especially in large cities, we
pass on through life, knowing little or
nothing of the human beings with
whom we are brought in temporary
contact. A cynic said that language
was made to conceal our ideas; and he
might have added, with equal truth,
that the expression of human eounte-
nance was intended to convey false i'm
pressions. A great part of the truth is
not spoken, because there is no neces-
sity for speaking it; another great part
IS swallowed up by conventional false
hoods, and the rest, or very nearly the
rest, is buried under lies, that the law
yers think cannot be discovered. Thus,
when We think of the great part of our
ordinary acquaintance, and ask our
selves what are their views, Purposes,
opinions. thoughts, feelings, charsc-
ters, we may as well with the morslists,
poet and philosopher say, 1--WE know
nothing" Its much to be feared, that
if from society in general we were TO
take away all that is false in word, look
and action, we should have nothing
but a pantomine in dumb show, per-
formed by very stiff sutomatons.
