Flowers.
IRENEUS

Who does not love flowers and enjoy
their cultivation? To the poor and
the wealthy alike they are q sOlace and
a charm. They adorn the grand gar
dcns of the rich aud smile in the dim
windows of the unfortunate. They
adorn with fresh beauty the brow OF
the bride and lie in silent sweetness on
the coffin OF the departed. Their soft
eyes delight you, their weird voices
charm you, and the touch of their
sweet lips is an inspiration of purity.
When glad they add to your pleasure
and when sorrowful they sOOth your
sadness They are an assurance of
sympathy, the evidence of friendship
and the pledge of love.
How often n little faded flower, long
hid from life and light, will fill with
sweet perfume the halls of memory.

The civil rights bill has had the eff
feet in North Carolina of stirring up
considerable bitterness already, and
every day shows more and more clearly
how great mistake has been made by
forcing it upon the country. By the
report of the proceedings in the North
Carolina Legislature, it seems that
Messrs. Glenn add Foote. white men
and prominent Republicans, formally
withdrew from the party rather than
accept the incubus of the bill. The
feeling among the colored as we'll as the
white Republicans of the South on this
matter, cannot be mistaken. The bill
is spontaneously as mischievous
in the extreme. 1t is held to be of nc
earthly service to the colc red race, for
whose benefit it is theoretically urged
and it is looked upon as the most un.
fortunate measure ever contemplated
by the Republican party. The fact is
that the Western Republican members
of the State, with but one exception
have determined to act with their lead.

Good Advice to Business Men-HOw to
Keep a Situation.

Be readyto throw in an odd half
hour or hours time when twill be an
accommodation, and don't make mer-
it of it. Do it heartily. Though not
a word be said, your employer will
make note of it. Make yourself in
Indispensable to him and he will loose
many of the opposite kind before he
will part with you. Those young men
who watch the clock TO see the very
second their working is up-who leave,
no matter what state the work may be
in, at precisely the instant-who cal
culate the extra amount they can slight
the work, and yet net get reproyed-
who are lavish of their employers
goodwill always be the first to re-
ceive notice, when times are dull, that
their services are no longer required.
Face all things; even adversely is
polite to 2 man face.
In the commerce of speech use only
the coin of gold and silver.
1t is little trouble to a craven image
to be patient even in fly time
Adversely to man is like training to
a pugilist; it reduces him to his fight
ing weight.
Success depends. in great degree,
upon the determination to concentrate
ones self upon one object.
There is no policy like politeness !;
and good manner is the best thing in
the world, either to get a good name,
or supply the want of it.
knowledge cannot be required with
out pains and application. 1t is
troublesome, and like digging for deep
waters; but when you once come to
the spring, they rise up to meet you.
Away with the notion that wealth is
an evil. If wealth is an evil, industry
is a vice; for the tendency of industry
is to produce wealth If wealth is an
evil, commerce should be abandoned,
for the object of commerce is to ac-
quire wealth. The fact is the reverse.
Poverty is the source of crime, the
great barrier to the acquisition of
knowledge, great source of human
woe. Both to individuals and to ma
tons wealth is a blessing, if notabused.

SELF DEPENDENCE-Setting young
man afoat with money left him by his
relatives, is like tying a bladder under

and go to the bottom. Teach him to

Give your children a sound education
See to it that his morals are pure, his
mind cultivated, and his whole nature
made subseryient to the laws which
govern man, and you have given him
what will be of more value than the
wealth of the Indies. You have given
him a start which no misfortune can
deprive him of. The caller you teach
