Flowers.

Where would the poet fly for
images of beauty if they were to.
perish? Are they not the emblems of
loveliness and innocence-thc living
types of all that is pleasing and grace
full? We compare young lips to the
rose. and the white brow to the lily !;
the winning'eye gathers its glow from
the violets the sweet voice is like a
breeze kissing its way through flowers.
We hang delicate blossoms on the
ringlels of the bride, and strew her
path with fragrant bells as she leaves
the church. We place them around
the face of the dead, and they become
symbols of our affections. They come
upon us in spring like the recollection
of dream, which hovcrs about us in
sleep, peopled with shadowy beauties
and purple delights, fancy brOidered.
Sweet flowers that bring before our
eyes scenes of fchildhood-facesr remem-
bered i'll youth-the messy bank by
the wayside where we SO often sat for
many hours drinking in the beauty of
the primrose with our eycs-the shell
tered glen, darkly green, filled with
the perfume of violets, that, in their
intense blue, shone like another sky
spread on the earth-the laughter of
merry voices, the sweet song of the
maiden, the dOwncast eye, the spread
ing blush, the kiss ashamed at its own
sound all brought back to mem
ory by flower. '''

That devoted Southerner, Rober
Toombs, is also of opinion that th'
principles for which Lee and jackson
fought are on trial again to day and ha.
written to q friend in Washington
saying: 81 am positive that Hancock
will ba elected as am there is q God
in the heavens. You say he is q Yankee;
we'll, l know that, and l know, TOO,
that his sword has pierced the breast
of many a gallant man in gray. But
what are veto dot We can not put in
one of our own men this time, and
and have to take a 'Yank.' That
being the case, let US take one that
is less 'blue- billed than the most Of
them. You may depend upon IL, sir,
that 'Yank' or no 'Yank,' If elected
the old boys of the South will see that
Hancock does the fair thing by. them,
In other words, he will run the ma
chine to suit them or they will run
the thing themselves. They are not
going to be played with any longer. If
you hear any man say that Hancock
cannot carry all the South you may put
him down as a d fool" Perhaps
this is a "forgery." Ifso, the Tribune
ventures to hope IL won't be charged
upon that Office, for there is no one EN-
ployed there who is sufficiently master
of Toomb's peculiar style to write do.

TAKEN IN.
The Bad Luck Of q Wilmington,
Ian at CSney leland.

Among the Wilmington folks who
vent on Mr.. p. T. 3. Smiths excursion
to Coney Island last Monday was a
we'll known young man about town who
started with the intention Of seeing
the whole thing. He wore good clothes
and had pocket book we'll filled with
the wherewithal 10 see the "whOle
thing"
When Wilmington got to Coney
Island he started out alone and hrs,
made . tour Of the gildsd bar rooms
from Bauers' to the Manhattan. Hav.
ing tested the virtne Of Consy Island
cook tails, sherry cobblsrs, slaret
punchss, earth auakes, mint julips,
atone fences, and In fact every drink
known TO the civilized bar tender, he
started up to Hotel de Brighton, where
he concluded to put up for the day
Here he registered his name with 8
flourish, and started ont on the porch
II he had turned arouAd he woald have
noticed middle aged, dappsr, and
benevolent looking gentleman, leaning
over the registery and noting his name
Out on the porch the breeze was
pleasant, and Wilmington was enjoy.
Ing the situation greatly, when he was
accosted by the same old party who
had been so intently reading his name
a few minutes before.
"How do Mr.. 4? Glad to see
you," exclaimed the aforesaid neatly
dressed old man, cslling his name.
Wilmington confessed that he was at
o disadvantage.
"What don't you know me. l am
old doctor W, who used to be in
Wilmington. knew your father we'll,
whom you wers boy" Said the un-
psrturbed old man, with well assumed
surprise.
Now Wilmington could not remem.
ber for tho life of him any old Doctor
" in his native town, but he
wanted to bs sociabls to any friend OF
his respected parent, and presuming
that every thing was right, he pretend
cd to recognizes the agreeable old man.
A long conversation ensued, and the
two soon became intimate.
In talking over Wilmington t>pics
the Wilmington youth might have no.
ticed how little the venerable doctor
knew of local affairs for former resi-.
dent, but when he appeared to know,
and slid deity from one subject to
another in q manner which tended
greatly to disarm suspicion.
Soor drinks were ordered. Then some
more drinks we're ordered. And after
that some more drinks. And so on "ad
infnitum." The result Of all this was
that about . O'Clock aome of the excur-
sionists picked up the young man from
Wilmington on the iron pier. He was in
maudlin condition, but was lavish in
his praise Of his friend, the doctor, who
had Just left him. One asked him If he
had his pocket book. He felt for 1t. 1t
was gone.

passed among the unsuspecting neigh

perfectly upright parsonage. Finally,
= 10" Gays ago, the two went to Cane
way on one OF the Rspu blic's Sunday
sxcursions, and when they retnrnad
'ney found themselves in a prediea-
ment OF an unpleasant nsture. No
sooner did the husband enter the houss.
with his mistress upon his arm, than
ne was confronted by his wronged wife
whom he had left down among the
pines and peach trees of lower Della
ware.
VI course there was q scene. The
outraged wife raved and berated her
arratic husband at great length, and
heaped reproaches upon his head until
ne scarcely knew what was to become
OF MIN. Then the woman turned upon
the one who had stolen her husbands
affections from her, and but fer the in.
tervention of neighbors would have as
Saulted her. The matter was at length
arranged, and it is stated that the next
morning the husband left for his former
home with his unhappy wife.
