IF FLOWERS COULD SING.

If flowers could sing, the poets lays
Would not be needed for their praise;
They, OF which men have sung 50 long,
Would sing their own enchanting song.
What fragrant accents oft would float
From out the roses velvet throat,
What soulful solace would they bring
If flowers could sing.
If flowers could sing how would they bless
The love that lips dare not confess,
How would they voice the secret throe
OF passionate and utter Woe
How would they thrill the maiden fair
Who wore them in her breast and hair.
What tender tidings would they bring
If flowers could sing.
If flowers could sing the birds would die:
What use were it for them to try
By any means to e'er disclose
The charms that render sweet the rose.
They lovely colors have, tits true;
But, have they lovely fragrance, too2
The birds W ould die from envy's sting
If flowers could sing!
Indeed, the world would be too sweet
If carols sang the marguerite;
In that fond hour, when twiIight's ear
Is waiting woodland hymns to hear,
The violet her scent ere long
Would squander in the breath Of song,
And song would be too sweet thing
II flowers could sing.

ringing out on the pleasant evening air while
far above them zone by one in the infinite
meadows of heaven blOssomed the stars. the
sweet for-me- nots Of the angels"

the popular young ladies. As soon AS a table
was vacated. they were invited TO partake
again. and. obedlent t. their religious duty.

THE FRUITLESS PHILADELPHIA TRIP.
An Officers Partially In Journ sIistic Work
Plainly shown-A Candid Statement
of Some Interesting Facts.

It is an indisputable fact that Captain J. B.
Angle and Sergeant r. j. Brooks are energetic
men. Some people even think they are over
Jealous. but such people form opinions
hastily.
With the responsibility of commanding a
company Of policemen, such as can be seen at
the Second district station-house. it is but
just to the city government that both Messrs.
Angle and Brooks display more than usual
zeal. Their constituents and fellow citizens
demand it,
Messrs. Angle and Brooks left Richmond
last Sunday night. and ere the sun had risen
on Monday were in Alexandria. Their pur-
pose was to bring back u Virginia Cusic and
Brynes from Philadelphia. to whom was
shipped the plumber stolen by the Farmville
burglars. and they stopped in Alexandria TO be
sworn IN as special deputy marshals.
On the preceding Saturday they applied 10
United States Commissioner Peasants, Of
this city, for warrants for Cusic and Byrnes.
and armed with these they arrived IN Alex
dria. There they expected TO meet United
States Marshal Farr. who would swear them
in as special deputies. and they could depart
to the Quaker City as agents Of Uncle Sam.
But. unfortunately for them. Farr was not
in the city Like other United States officials
in the summer time. he was rusticatins midst
the outrageous oaks Of some watering place.
and his absence somewhat dampened the
ardor of the two bue-coated officers from Rich
mond His deputy was seen. however, but
that gentleman-G. W. Haw1hurst-refused
to swear them in. He WAS argued with vigo-
rously and Systematically. but without avail:
and Messrs. Angle and Brooks finally departed
for Philadelphia crestfallen and defeated.
Arriving in the city of the Wanamakers
they called on the chief of police, and on the
following day made application for the
prisoners by this act their ardor was forced
down another few degrees. for they were met
and told by an United States marshal that
they could not get the men. Arguments
again ensued. but "availethed not" and the
United States Commissioner was next
applied TO. THIS official ruled that
the prisoners should be tried in Virginia. but
also said that Messrs Angle and Brooks
could not convey them 10 this State. He
gave az his reason that they were not agents
of the United States, but only held the war
rants. and TO convey them here the men
would have to be accompanied by deputy
marsbals.
