The Love Of Flowers.

Of the many touching tributes paid to
flowers. there is one associated with the
closing hours of Henry Heine, the poet,
which appears to be very beautiful. He
was dying in Paris. The doctor was pay
ing his usual visit, when Heine pressed
his hand and said: "Doctor. you are my
friend; I ask favor. Tell me the truth
the end is approaching, is it notP
The doctor was silent.
"rhank you," said Heine calmly.
"Have you any request to maker
asked the doctor, moved to tears,
."Yes," replied the poet; "my wife
sleeps--do not disturb her. Take from
the table the fragrant flowers she brought
this morning; love flowers SO dearly.
Thanks--place them upon my breast
He paused as he inhaled their perfume.
He closed his eyes, and he murmured:
"Flowers, flowers, how beautiful is
Naturep These were his last words as
his life slowly ebbed away.

Imperfeotly Directed Letters

In New York, Boston, Baltimore and
other large cities, it has been the prac-
tice for years to try to forward imper-
fectly directed letters on their way to
those for whom they are intended, and
thus to prevent them from being buried
for weeks or months-possibly for years
jim the dead-letter Office. We say
years advisedly, for within few weeks
past letter was returned to this office
from the 6ead-letter Office that was
mailed well on to two years ago. The
old practice was good one, and earned
great deal Of credit for the post office
department. All imperfect directions
are not the result of carelessness.
Many of them are defaced because the
writer's do not know how to do better.
There never was time and never will
be, until human nature shall become
perfect, or until official information pen
etrates every humble house in every vii
lage, when all letters were or will be di-
rected precisely as they ought to be.
Every postal department has recognized
this intirmity among letter writers, and
has employed skillful and experienced
persons to exc out the shortcomings in
the addresses OF letters, so gas to get
them 70 their destinations. As well
suspend all this and leave the bad spell
ers, poor penmen and penwomen, and
uniortunatss who pronounce according
10 their understanding in foreign
tongues to their fatez-close the doors Of
the pQw Offices against them---as 70 ~.

George Eliot's Domestic Life.

| have been reading minute account
Of George Eliot, written from London
by the clever correspondent Of Califor.
mia paper The latter has been copied
into various journals, but put up by
others into paragraphs, handy for circu.
lation, This swcet-friendly account is
sometimes erroneous and often imagin-
ative. Marian Evans was not the
''daughte of country curate," nor of
clergyman or parson of any kind. Nor
was there any mysterious clerical bene-
factor who took charge Of her or her ed
ucation. He is pure myth, probably
evolved to explain how she came to
write "Scenes Of Clerical Life. "Adam
Bede" was not published until 81 years
ago, and it did not bring her the ac-
quaintance Of either Herbert Spencer or
Lewes.
1t is fabulous that Lewea' legal wife
ever eloped with anybody once, much
less twice., as this story states, it is
equally mythical that the union Of G.
FL. Lewes with George Eliot was de-
cided upon after consultation with his
or her distinguished friends. There
was no knowledge about it beforehand;
it was decided on between themselves
and took their friends by surprise, They
disappeared together, and came back
from the continent to reside under one
roof. There has never been any pre-
tense that their union is spiritual one
or their cohabitation platonic; there is
probably as little ground for that report
as for another foolish one sometimes
seen in American newspapers, that
Lewes and Miss Evans were, at some
time lawfully married Whatever
these two people may have done they
never did anything to include themselves
among Artemus Wards afiinerties, nor
yet get down on their knees to beseech
pardon of society by undergoing a mar
riage ceremony. They never wanted for

TEA.

They may talk of their cocktails, their tod
dies and punches,
Their fancy mixed drinks and their spirits
taken straight, .,
Their tankards of beer, and their jolly cold
lunches,
Der which happy topers till midnight de-
bate;
They oft are enjoyed; yet sad enervation
Is hid in each glassful so sparkling ana
free;
And / fall back al last on better potation-
That genuine comfort, hot cup OF tea.
No more will drain to the clink OF the
glasses,
Those brain.stealing liquids, deceittully
bright;
But fling them away for the cup that sur
passes
All others in taste without dazing the
sight;
So here's to the tee.total pNen of all nations,
May their hearts be as warm, and their
fancies as free,
From mixtures impure as this king of pota-
tions,
So fragrantly steaming- pure cup of
tea.
This Gear cup of tea! what q help to the
ladies!
With gossip and sugar, draught Of de-
light,
AT clubs and tea parties, where every dear
maid sees
Ame-.S the cups dregs her appropriate
knight
How it braces their nerves and awakens their
fancies;
Till husbands oft quail before feminine
lances,
Nor dream they were pointed by one cup
of tea.
II en- tempt me no more with your heart
burning liquor,
So cursed to the taste and 80 bright to the
eye; =,
The mortal that drinks it may feel his mind
flicker,
His pride slowly sink, and his ambition die,
Down ysnders, to hell with your black occu-
patton,
No more OF your soul-killing venom for me;
I've broken your charm, and the blessed po-
tation
That comforts me now is a strong cup of
tea.

Is Slavery Abolished?

How lNcerated were the tender sensi-
bllitits Of hberty-loying New England,
when the sable-hued mothers in the
Southern States were separated from
their children by their inhuman masters.
What storms Of fiery Indignation burst
from the lips of her statesmen against a
code that licensed such outrages.
What denunciations from its pulpits up
on any religion that tolerated such
wrongs. What burning invectives were
hurled from its press upon civilization
thai permitted such atrocities How
melting was the pathos of its orators
over the inhumanity. Of this barbarous
system. What floods Of. sympathetic
tears its people shed over the victims of
such heartless cruelty. And what glad
paons of triumph awoke the echoes of
New England's hills and dales at the
downfall of this iniquitous institution.
But is slavery really abolished To-day
q mother is fleeing from this land of the
free and refuge of the oppressed to find
In some monarchial country of the old
world an asylum denied her in this land
of her birth, where the babes she has
borne and nursed shall not be wrenched
from her protecting arms by her infur-
late drunken master But where is now
the hot indignation of New England's
statesman Where the remonstrances
of her pulpits-the invectives of her
press-the denunciations of her orotors
and the tears of her people? All
are strangely silent and passive.
And why Because the "pant-
ing fugitive" now is only a
white woman-a New England wife
and mother-and the laws by which her
babes can be torn from her fond en-
brace were not exacted south of Mason
and Dixons line, but are New England's
own time honored statutes, made sacred
by their age. And if any man weakly
yielding to his humane impulses shall
dare to give aid or assistance to this
fleeing, fugitive mother and her infants,
he will do it at his peril. The whole
vengeance of our most holy fugitive
wife laws will be invoked upon his de-
voted head. Do people seek to justify
the barbarity of their laws by reiterat-
ing the vile ISLANDERS against Mrs.
Spragus9 Suppose them true, what
would be thought Of proposition to
deprive every husband who was false to
his marital vows of the custody and
control of his lawful children2 If such
were done, the number of half orphaned
children would he fearful to contem-
plate. But wife may be pure as the
Madonna-may be the embodiment of
all virtue and wisdom, but yet in the
nineteenth century many of our States
give the mother no legal right to her
babes, bat will permit any drunken,
vicious tyrannical brute of husband to
rob her Of her offspring.
While Mrs. Sprague with the prestige
of her fathers great name and the infiu-
entail friends she may command is forced
to expatriate herself in order to enjoy
the rights, holiest and dearest to woman's
nature, the society, of her children, well
may we exclaim, women have no coun-
