Hymn to the Flowers.
BY HORACE SMITH.

BY HORACE SMITH.
twinkle
From rainbow galaxies of earth's creation,
And dew drops on her lonely affairs sprinkle
AS hbation.
Ye matin worshippers who bending lowly
Before the uprisen sun, Gods lidless eye,
Throw from your chalices sweet and holy
incense on high.
Ye bright Mosaics that with storied beauty,
The floor of Natures temple tesselate.
What numerous emblems of instructive duty
Your forms create
Meath clustered boughs, each floral bell that
swingeth
And tolls its perfume on the passing air,
Makes sabbath in the fields, and ever ringeth
A call to prayer.
Not to the domes were crumbling arch and col
.umn,
Attest the teebleness of mortal baud,
But to that fame, most catholic and solemn,
Which God hath planned;
To that cathedral, boundless as our wonder,
Whose quenchesJ lamps the sun and moon
supply;
It's choir the wind and waves-its origin thunder
Its dome the sky.
There, as in solitude and shade wonder
Through the green aisles, or stretched upon the
sod,
Awed by the silence, reverently ponder,
The ways of God.
Your voiceless lips, o Flowers are living preach
Each e1iD a pulDit. eVery leaf a book,
Supplying to my fancy numerous teachers,
From ioneliest nook.
Floral Apostles that in desy splendor
/"Weep without woe, AID blush without a
crime"
o may deeply Learn. and meier surrender
Your lore sublime
''Thou vert not, Solomon in all thy glory,
Auayed," the lilies cry-"in robes like ours;
How vain your grandeur alb, how transitory
Are human flowers r.
In the sweet scented pictures, heavenly artist
With which thou pantest natures widespread
hall,
What delightful lesson thou impartest
OF love TO all
Not useless are ye, Flowers 'h2ugh made 70
pleasure :,
Blooming DER field and wave, by day and
night,
From every source your sanction bids me treasure
Harmless delight.
Ephemeral sages what instructors hoary
For such a world of thought could furnish
scope :
Each fading caiyx a DaOnae1at0 mort,
Yet fount of hope.
Posthumous gloTies! angel-!ike collection;
Upraised from seed or bulb inferred in earth,
Ye are to me type of resurrection,
Aud second birth.
Were in churchess solitudes remaining,
Far from all voice of teachers and divines,
My soul would find, in flowers of Gods ordaining,
Priests sermons, shriBes!

A YER'S CHERRY PICTORIAL,
FOR DISEASES OF THE THROAT AND
LUNGS, SUCH AS COUGHS, COLDS,
WHOOPING COUGH, BRON-
CHITIS, ASTHMA, AND
CONSUMPTION

CHlTIS, ASTHMA, AND
CONSUMPTION.
Probably never before in the whole history OF
medicine, has anything woR so widely and so
deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary COMPLAINTS
Through long series of years, and among most
of the races of men it has risen higher and higher
in their estimation, as it has Become better
known. Its uniform character and power TO cure
the various affections of the lungs and throat,
have made it known a reliable protector
against them. While adapted to milder forms
of disease and TO young children, it is at the
same time the most effectual remedy that can be
given for incipient consumption, and the dam
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. As a
provision against sudden attacks of Group, it
should be kept on hand in every family, and in
deed all are sometimes subject TO colds and
coughs, all should be provided with this antidote
for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
durable, still grear numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health
by the Cherry Pectoral So complete is its mas
terry over the disorders Of the Lungs and Throat,
that the most obstinate of them yield TO it. When
nothing else could reach them, under the Cherry
fecJoFai the! suDslue anu ol-appedr
Singers and Public Speakers find great protee-
ton from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
For Cough and Cold, no better remedy can
be had. Take small doses three times day and
put the feet in warm water at night, until the
disease is broken up.
For Influenza, when it affects the throat or
lungs, take the same course.
For Whooping Cough, give small doses three
or four times day.
For Group, give large and frequent doses until
the disease is overcome.
No family should be without the Cherry Pecto-
raj on hand TO protect them, in case of attack,
from the above complaints. Its timely use often
spares the patient a great amount of suffering
and risk, which he would incur by waiting until
he could get other aid. Parents, keep it in your
houses for the exigencies that arise. Lives dear
to you may be saved by it.
So generally are its virtues known, that We
need not publish certificates of them here, or do
more than assure the public that the best quail
ties it ever possessed are strictly maintained.

dies, representing as many churches here,
went out on mission of mercy. The
result of their labers was the collection Of
about fifty-one dollars cash contributions
for the benefit of the home for destitute
children in Burlington. This is the first
contribution given by our people in aid of
of such an institution in Vermont.
There are eight families, near neigh
bors, all of foreign population, living at
the west end of Main street, or on West
Main street, where may be found forty
children under thirteen years of age.
Most of them are well brought up, well
behaved, regular at school and good schol-
ars.
Billiard table No. is now in full
rolling order over the drug store. Three
tables in this village are for the public
good, and one is private enterprise.

they with bound cleared the room. They
thought of her safety before their own ;
neither fright nor selfshness induced
them to provide for themselves until they
saw her secure from peril. Such dis

have not heard of for many day, and
when we remember that it came from
children, it becomes all the more touch

EQUAL SUFFRAGE.-Edit0r Rutland
Herald Il read with interest the COM
munication relative to Rev. Mr.. Mills
speech at Wells,-for did not believe
any man who looks out upon human So
oiety, as gentlemen of Mr.. Mills profess
sion are compelled to do, could honestly
give utterance to the sentiment attributed
to him. But I must confess my great
surprise, on reading Mr.. Mills letter in
the HERALD of Monday, to see that
while in one paragraph he denies the. words
attributed to him in his Wells address,
yet in the very next paragraph he virtually
reiterates the same sentiment when he
says: 81 have such exalted views of the
sphere and mission of woman, that
think to give her the right of suffrage
would directly tend to demean and unsex
her"
I believe Mr.. Mills is Baptist clergy
man, and his church allow women to
vote in church meetings, also to speak
and pray. Not long since we heard that
this same gentleman Congratulated the
ladies of his church for their punctual
attendance at social meeting, while the
males absented themselves. Notwith-
standing all this he has such exalted
views of the'sphere and mission of woman
that he thinks to give her the right of
suffrage would demean and unsex her.
Is not suffrage as good for her to protect
her civil and legal rights as it is for her
to protect and enjoy her religious rights !?
In view of his position we can only ex-
claim Consistency thou art a jewel"
SUFFRAGE.

The PRINCE AT ST.. ALBANs.--A cor
respondent of the New York Tribune says
that while hundreds of persons were
gathered at the st. Albans depot waiting
for chance to see Prince Arthur, the
individual in question came quietly out
and promenaded, in cog, up and down the
platform, enjoying the anxiety of the by
ISLANDERS to peep into the car windows
after him. This is a fine story, but hard.
ly probable. We make bold to question
this little piece of royal bumor.

HORRIBLE officers D
J. Morrill, of Swanton, and A. D. Hawley
of Waterbury, on Thursday evening, ar
rested John Francis Rollins at the house
of one Flanders in the woods, in Morris
town, for the murder in Swanton of his
infant child, one day old. He was mar
ried last May, and the child was born
about two months since. The morning
after, he took it from its mothers side in
the bed and went down cellar, declaring
he would stop its yelling" Afterward
its remains were found buried in one cor.
ner of the cellar, nearly all eaten up by
rats. He threatened its mother and
grandmother with death if they divulged
his crime, and then absconded. The off.
GERS have been in pursuit of him ever
since.
Rollins was born in Morristown, and
his father now resides in Stowe. He at
tempted to escape when the arresting
party appeared, but afterward assumed
an air of perfect Indifference, claiming the
child had died a natural death. He was
taken to Swanton for examination.
