Legend or the n ,ss hose.
Translated FROM TIE GERMAN.
Within forests dark ravine,
Soft as velvet carpet green,
A bed Of fair moss grew,
Bali hid In gloomy shade, the eye
Night pass Its tiny wonders by,
Nor once its beauties view.
At flaming rose and forest leaf,
Glanced the meek moss and sighed 10 grief
Heaven gave no charm to me;
Though many feet above me tread
No one remarks my humble bed
All fairer beauties see ~
But see! at eve. within the grove,
The weary Savior comes 20 rove
With pale and bowed down head.
With wounded foot be wanders slow,
And feels with joy the moss below,
And cooling carpet spread.
Long wandering in the desert land,
Els feet, burnt with the sun and sand,
The tender moss caressed,
The Savior spoke: ." With tender care
Ny Fathers hand bath made the fair,
And kindly thee hath blessed.
"What eye so dull aud blind canbe
As in thy beauty not to see
The great Creators care?
Thou plant, that all unmarked doth lie,
1DOu natn not missed my Father's eye,
Thy lot with patience bear"
Thus Jesus spake; and wondrous fair
From the low moss there sprang in air
sweet and radiant rose,
Moss rose its name soon came to be;
Now, emblem of Humility,
In every land il grows.
The moss the Savioris feet
Kisses and makes his sorrow sweet,
And with reward over flows.
o, heart! be ever meek and pure,
II Ike the moss, distressed. be sure
Already buds like rose

VIoK's FLORAL GUIDE.-We have received
from James Wick, Rochester, NJ Y, copy
of his frustrated Catalogue and Floral Guide,
for 1860. 1t contains accurate descriptions
of flowers and vegetables, together with prac-
tical hints and instructions on their culture;
and is profusely illustrated with handsome
engravings of the choicest flowers. Every
one who loves this most beautiful part of Gre
alton, should send ten Gems to Mr.. Wick, for
copy. Mr.. Wick is an importer and grower
of choice flower and vegetable seeds, and per-
sons dealing with him may rely upon having
their orders filed to their entire satisfaction.
Every cultivator of flowers or vegetables
has experienced disappointment, from the
failure of seeds to terminate, or from the
plants proving, when grown, to be entirely
different from what was expected In pur-
chasing seeds from Mr. Wick no such failure
need be apprehended, if ordinary care and
skill are used. We have found, by actual test,
that they can be relied on as true to name,
producing strong, healthy plants.
Our laiy readers, especially, who may have
met with failure and disappointment, hereto
fore, in their efforts to cultivate flowers,
should try once more, by sending an order to
Mr.. Wick, and our word for it, they will be
amply repaid by complete success, and will
contribute more than can be estimated, to-
ward "making home beautiful"

New Uses OF PAPER.-One of the latest
uses of paper is its application in the manu-

chemically prepared paper, are superior in.

The paper is rendered impervioas to the ac-
ton of water or acids the utensils can be

of the year, or exposed to the sevcfest cold,
without the slightest effect on them where
wood would rot and iron rust, these articles
are unaffected and with proper usage, would
be as good as new. In pals there is an adj
vantage-that water will not taste Of the ma
