FLOWERS.

Flowers teach US the tenderness OF
Gods character. If He had made moth
ing of this kind, if His works had been
for bare utility, and had consisted Of
coarse and more substantial creations
only, the tender side Of the divine char
actcr would have failed Of the revelation
it now has in nature. You cannot come
across delicate. trembling flower in the
shade of wood, SO small that your heel
could crush out its life with one careless
step. but that you will think how gentle
God must be, who made this flower in lis
exquisite beauty to live there, and daily
cares for it in the regular course Of His
providence Lillian .-. I'd. .s.
Following the same idea, the sleep of
the flowers touches our sympathies. Ma
ny of them at night will fold their petals
closely together, and like the darlings of
kind mother, repose trustfu)ly in the
care of their Creator. And during the
long, dark Eight, they gather the dews
which distill in the quiet air, and when
day comes, the first beams of the morn.
ing fall on millions of glittering drops,
and fash back from leaf and bud and
petal and grassy blade III such brilliancy
that the whole waving and nodding field
Of blooming beauty seems dressed in gem'
more resplenient than any dream of ori
entail magnfcence. So it may be with
us if in the night Of this somewhat som
bre life We draw to ourselves the dews o
heavenly grace. We may hope that whel
eternity fully dawns, the morning ligh'
of our fathers love will glance upon tbes
jewels whish we have gathered near In
cross, and so light them up as to cover u
with glory.-We Pac,fc. t-.. "A. (.

TRIIE HEROES.

Men are found In every generation, who
never lifted hand against one of all
their fellows, quite as brave, and endur-
ing. and self devoted as those who have
had their homes in camps and chose the
battle field for their grave They are
emphatically men Of peace Their weap-
ons are arguments, entreaty, P rsuasion,
remonstrance. The worlds praise they
do not covet, and often do not win ; for
their business is to stem the current, to
proclaim serne forgotten truth, to stand
up for the victims of oppression when tyr
amy is strongest, to wake up to some new
enterprise in the cause Of humanity the
crowd who prefer slumber and selfindil-
gence to generous and manly effort. They
do not look for present reward, but SOW
for a distant harvest, often laying the
foundation on which others are to build,
often Drawing the storm, that their sue
cessors may sail over tranquil seas, often
falling on "evil days and evil tongues,
while later generation of feebler cham
pions win an ovation at small cost. They
, walk, and are content to wait Gods time
while they do Gods work. Struggle they
must, because their vocation is to contend
: with Ignorance. and prejudice, and selfish
ness, to confrot power when allied with
Injustice, and to arrest the multitude wher
. they are rushing madly forward in som'
dangerous path But contention is no
the element they love. Many tine they
are forced on to some public stoge from
which they would retreat if they dared, OF
- which it is Gods will that they shoul'
testify for the truth, or do battle for hu

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

There is no other spoken language SO
cheap and expressive by telegraph as the
English. So the electric wires are becom-
ing teachers of our mother tongue in for.
eign countries. The same amount of in
formation can be transmitted in fewer
English words than French, German, Ital.
ian, or any other European language In
Germany and Holland especially it is
coming to be a common thing to see tele.
grams in English to save expense and in-
sure precision. Thus the red, white and
blue, the Celtic, Teutonic and Latin ele-
mcuts of our English language will yet
make the tour Of the globe, and be the
silent speech fitted to the flashing lips Of
lightning, as we'll as the tongue which
half Of the earfh's millions will speak
within two centuries from the present
| time.

THE LITTLE ROBE OF WHITE
In a rosewood cradle baby lay,
Its mother was stitching, stitching away,
On little robe of white
One foot en- the rocker, she hoped to keep
Her frolcsome baby fast asleep,
To finish her work that night
In every stitch OF that garment she wrought,
That loving mother fastened a thought;
Hopes for that little one,
And smiled on her baby in happy PRIDE
As it slept IN its credle by her side,
Till the little robe was done
Then She folded up the cambric and lace,
And kissed her Ettle one's chubby face,
That smiled in its infant glee.
She tossed it up and down in the air
"How pretty you'll look little babe, when yo'
wear
That little new robe" said she.
In rose wood coffin the baby lay,
Its mother had wept the night away
Watching its dying breath
With it pressed to her bosom she prayed to kec
Her darling baby from going to sleep
In the cold, cold arms of death.
They buried the babe in the garment jus
wrought,
Whose every stitch hsld hopeful thought,
From that loving mothers sight
On a marble stone she wrote with q tear,
"How many hopes are buried here
In that little robe Of white !"
In the Saviour's arms baby lay, .....
From its rosewood coffin far away,
In the realms of love and light.
The angels garment had folded about
It's little form which will never wear out
A seamless robe of White.
