For Vie Home Journal. Fact ami Fancy ol" Flowers. BY ETHEL. When God created tlie world, and fitted it for the habitation of man ; he thought not only of all those things which were necessa ry for his existence and well being, hut, in his unlimited goodness, and as only a kind and loving Father would, he had also in con sideration, those things which would most promote his happiness. What could have been better adapted to this than the subject to which we are now directing our thoughtslt is unnecessary to attempt a definition of Flowers; for, all know that they are to earth, what the stars are to heaven ; they have lieeu designated ‘•Poetry of Nature,” “Foot-prints of An gels;” they are always a source of much pleasure, they carry with them rays of sun shine and love wherever they appear, they are a gift to Nature, and she bestows them freely ami abundantly on all; we find them in the palace of the king, in the mansion of the lord, in the happy family cin le, and, even in the abodes of poverty and wretch edness, we may find these same emblems of the goodness and love of God making glad the sad hearts within. Flowers were formerly used in Ireland by the lads and lasses as a medium of communi cation with each other; their parents wen very rigid in the management ot them: would not allow them to commnuicatc or as sociate with each other : so— “In those lands they talked in flowers, And told (n a garland their loves and cares, Each blossom that bloomed in their garden j bowers, On Us leaves, a mystic language bears.” Since thr. rose is the queen of flowers, she. of course lirst claims our attention; and, she bears the title deservingly tqo, if wc may judge from (iprptaranet : how < juct'idy and graceful she apjicurs as sin l is fanned by the breath of the sweet zephyers? .Many pleas ant legends are told about this favorite flow er. It is said that all roses were originally white, but Adam whilst engaging in the chase, chanced to step upon a thorn, the blood issuing from the wound fell on the flower audio! the red rose appeared. Since that time it lias remained to warn us that, tlie loveliest flowers conceal a thorn“ev ery sweet has its bitter.” The Moss Hose js the most beautiful of all: its history is quite in contrast with that of the red, for, it will ever weir that ver dant velvet covering as a reminder of the rest and pleasure it once afforded the weary. It is tints accounted for by fable : Ail angel having slept under a rose tree awoke, and, being much refreshed, asked what addition al charm lie could add to the lovely flower; the rose blushing for reply ; u hereupon, he touched it with his hand and it was covered with its mossy veil. The Violet, “.Modest grace of the vernnal year,” has always been a favorite. It seeks for its abode the crevice of the grey rock, and the roots of the majestic Oak, ‘where it is protected from the piercing rays of the sun, or the destruction of the storm : how modestly it peeps through its canopy of green. The Lily, one of the most beautiful flowers that we know, lias always been con sidered a type of purity. Nature in Id it forth and said “Behold my thoughts of white !” and to wrcli a degree of perfection did it attain, that Christ said, “Sfolomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these;” yet, they toil not neither do they spin—the wise Creator, as he does for us till, provides for them. The Olive twig, which the dpve carried to Noah, showed him that all was peaceful on the earth: so we have the Olive an emblem of peace. The Jvy in its clinking tender ness is said to belike woman. Laurels an reserved for the conqueror, Orange Blossoms form a chaplet for the bride; while the mournful Cypress, with propriety, decks the bier. The custom of decorating the staves of our “Fallen Braves,” lias become a National institution, anil “Memorial Day” is a\sad festival in our Southern homes. The lovely, beautiful flowers, which are the ornaments of creation, are more to he admired than the costtiest jewels; though they are so universal, yet one never tires of them; they are always presenting some thing new and interesting for our pleasure and admiration. But nothing earthly can last; the sweet flowers must pass away : very soon all of these lovely plants, which are now the source of so much enjoyment, will fade and die. This should remind us, our ow n nature that nothing is too beautiful to die and that death often selects for its victims the fairest and loveliest of earth. How dormant and callous must that mind be which fails to de rive a feeling of elevating and refined de light from the contemplation of these pre cious gems which deck the bosom of our “Mother Earth.” “Your voiceless lips O flowers are living preachers, Each cup a pulpit and each leaf a book, Were I, Oh God, in ehurchless lands remain ing, Far from all precept of teachers and di vines, My soul would find in flowers of thy ordain ing. Priests, Sermons, Shrines.” Few people realize that there is as much difference in the quality of musical instru ments as there really is. From the immense sales and flattering testimonials received by Mr. Daniel F. Beatty, of Washington, New Jersey, we are forced to the conclusion that his Pianos and Organs are first class in every particular. Before buying, we would earn estly recommend all to write to Mr. Beatty. See his advertisement in this paper. Couldn't Quarrel. —ln the - depths of a forest there lived two foxes who never had a cross word with each other. One of them said one day, ip the politest fox lan guage : “Let’s quarrel.” ‘A ery well,” said the other, “as you please, clear friend; but how shall we set about it ?” “Oh, it cannot be difficult,” said fox -at tuber one. “Two legged people fallout, why should not we?” So they tried till sorts of ways, but it could not be done, because each would give way. At last number one brought two stones. “There,” said he, “you say they’re yours, and I'll say they’re mine, and we will quarrel and light and scratch. “Now, I’ll begin. Those stones are mine.” “Yen' well,” answered the other, gently, “you are welcome to them.” “But we shall never quarrel at this rate,” cried the other, jumping up and licking his face. “You old simpleton, don’t you know that it takes two to make a quarrel any day V” “Yin m Sociables” for the benefit of churches arc fashionable in the south. The guests are obliged to sit “mum” for half an hour, and any one speaking must forfeit a nickel for each word. At a “mum” party in Alanta the other night a wicked young man whispered some thing in the ear of an old maid, and in less than ten minutes she for feited eighty dollars worth of nick els and was compelled to appoint a receiver before the half hour expir ed.- -Norristown Herald. —The lands of Northern Geor gia tiro based upon a gold bearing strata, quite fabulous in its rich ness. At Dahlonega on Wednes day last, directly after tiro falling of a heavy shower of rain, a little barefoot street urchin panned out fifteen or twenty large particles of gold from about a half gallon of earth scraped up in front, of the court house door. It is thought by many of the citizens, and also stat ed for a fact by a practical miner, that one of 1 lie richest veins in the county runs direc* across the public square only a few feet below the surface. —The Monroe Advertiser says it is a suggestive fact that the Western and Atlantic railroad and the Macon and Brunswick Railroad which allows editors to ride free are prospering, while many of those which deny this privilege are fast going into bankruptcy.

Its en terprise, during the recent election excite ment, in sending correspondents to different portions of the country, and its series of spe cial telegrams from Washington while the electoral commission was engaged in consu mating the fraud that placed radicalism once more in power in our national councils, tire evidences conspicuous enough to prove that no expense will be spared to make The Constitution not only a leader in the dis cussion of matters of public concern, but a lender in the dissemination of the latest and most reliable news. There is no better time than now to subscribe for -4 Fresh and Vigorous Newspaper. Albeit, there has been a quasi, settlement of one of the most difficult and dangerous problems of modern federal politics, the dis cussions springing therefrom and the results likely to ensue have lost nothing of their ab sorbing interest, In addition to this,' tlie people of Georgia are now called upon to settle the Convention question, and in the discussion of this important subject (in which i The Constitution will take a leading part) every Georgian j interested.

To lie brief, The Atlanta : Daily Constitution will enilenyor, by all tlio means that the pro gress of modern "journalism lias made possi ble and necessary to hold its place as a lead er of southern opinion and sis a purveyor of the latest news.
