Fancy for Flowers.

Few things there are in life which
tend to express the thoughtful tastes of
individuals more than tiowers-cspec.

and doorways, cared for and cultured as

fare, and see upon its window sills bright
rows of pots filled with gay gerauiums
and bell-formcd iuchias, we suppose
surely iu that house there must live
some one whose mind is not wholly
chokcd up aud deadened- to whom
the links are not yet entirely severed,
which bind the heart to the loneliness
of nature, aud who still appreciates with
tender care the sweetest aud most
beautiful of her creation Or. perhaps.

aud thoughts, and seeks among those
very flowers which seem so gay and in
dicative of youth and happy hearts to
us, a solacc and delight, which simple
things like these often render to the
wretchcd hearted and weary Wherever
flowers are seen carefully tended, we
may be sure there will be found people
of a refined mind. No one who has

WHAT KIND OF SUGAR TO UsE.-
People who have been in the habit of
using damp, raw sugar, in the belief
that it is cheaper and better than the
refined article, should know that inspec-
ton shows it is infested with the acarus
sachari or sugar insects to very large
degree. Every spoonful of raw sugar
which man puts into his tea or coffee
is alive with vermin. A pound contains
a hundred thousand of them. Refined
sugar, on the other hand, is free from
impurities, is sweeter, better, and there.

DREAD OF SUDDEN pEATu.-Therc
is an almost universal dread of sudden
death MORGAN We wonder at this dread
when we consider how mouotunous an
event death Is, aud how solemn the real
tiles it involves But after all does it
not spring-dose it not receive force and
point mainly in the conciousness that we
have no habitual preparation for death
aud the consequent something after
death - Does 1t not spring from con.
ciousneSs that We are leaving something
uudonc which we would wish to repair
in dying hour And yet, how rare
are the instances in which death does not
come suddenly Down to the last hour
Of life and almost to the last gasp, the
wasting consumptive will repeat his oft
told delusiyc story or"being little bet
tel" thus huggiug the delusive hope Of
life till its last sand is already falling
from lile's emptied glass. Who of us
will die when aud where. as We suppose z
Probably not one The fact is death

unfinished plans of life, and hurres the
victim away. No startling admouitiOn

Like the leaf, life has its fading -
We think and speak Of it with sadness
just as We think of the autumn season.
But there should be no sadness at the
fading Of a life that has done its work
II We rejoice ia the advent of a new
life; If wc welcome the coming Of a
new pilgrim to the uncertainty Of this
worlds way, why should there be SO
much gloom when all the uncertainties
are past. aud life at its waning wears
the glorles ofa completed task - Beau
tliul a IN childhood in its f ic,hueSs
and innocence, its beauty is that of un.
tried life, IL Is the beauty of promise.
Of spring. OF the bud \ holier and
rarer beauty is the beauty the warning
lite Of faith and duty wears. 1t is the
beauty Of thing completed; and as
men come together to congratulate each
other when some great work has been
achieved and see in its concluding
nothing but gladucss, so ought We to
feel when the setting sun filings back
It's beams upon life that has answered
well It's purpose. When the bud drops
are bliShtcd and the mildcw blasts the
early grain, and there goes all hope Of
the harvest one may well be sad; but
when the ripcned year sinks amid gar
nture Of autumn flowers and leaves,
why should we regret or murmur2-
And so life that waiting for the well
done Of God, whose latest virtues are
its noblest, should b. given back to
God in accomplishing reverence, We
rejoicing that earth is capable of SO
much gladucss and is permitted such
virtues.

ELEaANcE DOES NOT HOME

ELEGANCE DOES NOT MAKEA HOME.
i never saw Il garment too fine for
man or maid; there was never chair
too good for a cobblcr or cooper or king
to sit in, never house to fine to shelter
the human head These elements about
US, the gorgeous sky, the imperial sun,
are not too good for the human race
Elegance fits man. But do we not
value these tools Of housekeeping little
more than they are worth, and some
times mortgage home for the sake OF
the mahogany we would bring into it?
| had rather eat my dinner off the head
Of u barrel, or dress after the fashion Of
John the Baptist in the wilderness, or

that the inside was as hollow as an
empty nut. Beauty is great thing,
but beauty Of garments, house, and fur.
niture, is a very tawdry ornament
compared with domestic love. All the
elegance in the world will not make u

spoonful of real hearty love than for

gergeousness that all the uphosterers
of the world could gather together

Betting is always bad. The effect of it on
both parties concerned is demoralizing to a
fearful degree. But there is form Of it al.
together worse, in some respects than that in
which money is the stake; form which is
getting to be far too common.
In our factories and workhsops where men
and boys are brought into daily intimacy, dis
putes about triAes are made occasions for
betting the beer" And doubtless disputes
are often engaged in for the express purpose
of leading to such wager. Day after day
this goes on, and it is one of the thousands Of
devices adopted by the arch enemy of man to
lead him down to ruin. An unrehecting
youth will swallow glass of ale, however
much he may dislike its taste, and however
much he might be disinclined to do SO ordina-
rily, simply because he or some shop crony
has won it in bet. He may make wry
face over it to-day, and tomorrow, but next
week he will begin to like both its taste and
exhilamting effects, and then the way will be
fairly opened for him to become drunkard.
Proprietors and foremen of shops could
easily stop this thing. To such we make
most urgent appeal. Consider that you are,
in a measure, responsible for the morals of
your employees, and give them to understand
that no such doubly demoralizing practice
will be allowed among them-that wages will
be diminished, or employment altogether re-
fused, if they persist in it. A stringent
measure of this sort would undoubtedly tend
to save many men ultimately from dishonored
graves, and many wives from broken hearts,
and many children from disgrace and want.
