The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1897-12-30
From an old Journal.

Fl. Fl. Hay & Son Of Portland have sent
us copy Of The State Signal of April 10,
1851, and of The Republican Journal of
April II, 1851. We have in the office a
complete file of The Journal from the first
issue in 1929, but these old papers are al
ways interesting. In 1851 The Republi
can Journal was published by Wing &
Moore, and George B. Moore was the edi-
tor. He was one of the brightest journal
lists Maine has ever produced, and died in
harness as editor of the Portland Adver-
tiser in 1862. In the issue of The journal
before us he writes as follows
ABOUT FLowERs.-It is an often quot
ed expression of the great Wilberforce
made in his last moments delight in
these lovely emblems. The fruits God
gives us for food; the flowers are His
smiles.' Certainly there are things in
created nature for the qualification of our
finer senses, as we'll as our actual wants.
OF the latter are flowers. Mahomet de-
signated as one of three things which
pleased him most, the odor and sight of
flowers. AS there is in animated nature
creation nearer to perfection than any
other, SO in inanimate nature this highest
perfection seems to be manifest in flowers.
And between the two there seems to be a
remarkable affinity, for the fondness OF
women for flowers is universal. And,
too, it is remarked that the finer the feel
ing, and the more delicate tile sense, the
stronger is this affection. Tue greatest of
poets has finely expressed this in the Ian
guage of Eve
"Must thus leave thee, Paradise?
Oh HoxrarS
That never will i'll other climates grow,
which bred up with tender hand,
From the first opening bud and gave We names
VINO now shall rear We to the sun, rank
Your tribes
1t is recorded that Adam gave names tic
the beasts and fowls, and so Milton, bv a
| fine sense of the appropriate and beauti-
| full, has ascribed to Eve the naming of the
flowers. In oriental countries, where
| flowers bloom all the year, men have rec
ognized their care and cultivation as being
| especially province OF women. Indeed,
| in some of the eastern tongues the same
word is employed in designating both.
| The cultivation of flowers is not only tc
be encouraged for the beauties they afford
to the eye. So kindred are the kinder and
more refined sentiments of the mind te
the more perfect and delicate objects il
nature, that the former grow stronger anc
more fixed by contact with the latter We
could hardly believe in the goodness Of
the person who does not love flowers, any
more than the poet could recognize virtue
in the man who is mot moved at concord
of sweet sounds;'' and we shall be ready
to say of such a one, "Let no such maj
be trusted" We believe, then, tina
while flowers are beauty to the sight
they help to refine the feeling, to quicker
the perception of mental beauty, and
above all, to endear home. The author O.
Lalla Rookh has placed flowers amons
the dearest recollectons of the femal
captive in a strange land

A Parliament Custom,

Before the speech from the throne is
read, when the houses are resumed in
the afternoon, by the lord chancellor in
the house OF lords and the speaker in the
house of commons, it is the practice in
both houses TO read one bill first time
pro forma i'll order to assert their right
Of dehberation without reference to the
immediate cause of summons. This
practice Is enjoined in the house of lords
by standing order. In the house of
commons the same form is observed
pursuant to ancient custom and of the
following resolution, passed March %,
1903: "That the first day of every sit
ting in every parliament some one bill,
and no more, reoeiveth a first reading
for form sake" In the house of COM
mons the clerk of parliaments produces
an ancient document which has served
this purpose for at least century, en-
titled "A bill for effectually prevent
ing clandestine outlawries," which is
duly read first time and ordered to be
read second time and will never be
heard Of again till the opening of the
next session. News

Early English Bindings.

During the reign of Elizabeth the
fashion in binding underwent a consid-
cradle change, the graceful simplicity
of the early work, with its rather severe
and restrained ornament, giving place
10 a heavy, overdecorated style, in which
q superabundance of gliding hid power
ty of design. This style reached its
height in the bindings produced for
James I, which were commonly dotted
all over with flowers-de-luce or thistles,
while the corners were filed with a
heavy block of coarse design. During
the reign of Charles the bindings were
as q rule copied from French work and
the designs carried out with very small
tools; but, though foreign influence was
strongly felt ut first, the English bind
ers soon struck out line of their own,
and Samuel Mearne, the binder tc
Charles II, produced some admirable
work and seems to have introduced the
quantity shaped panel which gave the
name of cottage binding to a certain
class of work. At a little later date an
Edinburgh binder whose name is un.
known, but whose work is easily distin
guishable, executed some marvellous
pieces Of work on very dark green mo-
