TIIE USE OF FLOWERS-
God might have made the earth bring
forth
Enough for great and small,
The oak-tree and the cedar-tree,
Without a flower at aIL
We might have had enough, enough
For every want of ours,
For luxury, medicine, and toil,
And yet have had no flowers.
Then, wherefore, wherefore were they
made.
All dyed with rainbow light,
All fashioned with supremest grace
Upspringing day and night:—
Springing in valleys green and low,
And on the mountains high,
And in the silent wilderness
Where no man passes by?
Our outward life requires not, —•
Then wherefore had they b.rth?
To minister delight to man,
To beautify, the earth :
To comfort man, —to whisper hope,
When’er his faith is dim,
For who so careth for the flowers
Will care much more for him !

LJ. B. S. in tliu New York Word ]
Philadelphia, May 13. —Tho hun
dreds of columns which have been con
tributed to the newspapers concerning
the Centennial exnibilion, may or may
not have the effect to attract readers to
the perusal of more columns crowned
with that fearsome heading. I am
afraid people will be gradually wearied
with 'he subject unless some pains are
taken to divert it of feverish .sensation
alism, and adorn it with nnexaggeroted
statement of facts.
I.
If should bo sai! in justice, that,
while owing to tho hard t imes an i mu iy
otuer causes, tlie obstacles to the estab
lishment of tho exhibition were great
er than had ever been encountered by
any similar international enterprise,
the;y were met with commensurate en
ergy, patience and skill, that the exhi
bition is more complete and valuable in
some respects than former ones; and
that the delay of a full arrangement of
it, which bids fair not to be prolonged
three months like tlie delay at Vienna,
results almost who ly from the blunders
and sloth of exhibitors, and flora a
series of acci louts on land an l on sea.
Foreign and American exhibitors join
in praising the civility aud efficiency of
the administration, and even in exclud
ing the custom-house officials from a
share of their execration of the cus
toms regulations.
11.
The competence of the police force
in the grounds and buildings was put
to a test on the opening of the grounds,
which will be repeated only on the
fourth of July. It did not stand the
test. But at the same time the milita
ry arrangements were equally faulty.
TIIO crush between tne main building
and machinery hall, which involved tho
President, his wife and his cabinet;
the Emperor and Empress of Brazil,
and the rest of the procession", in one
common stress, and mud-bog ankle
deep, had 110 excuse for being, and it is
here i.lluded to in hope of no farther
maladministration in that direction.
The police uniform is badly chosen
and inconspicuous, but there is less
rudeness and officious iterference by
this body than are usually complained
of at newly-opened places of resort.
. in.
Tho telegraph facilities are not yet
what they were promised to be and tlie
department of public comfort is not iu
working order. The latter is intended
to afford visitors the privilege of ex
changing messages with each other for
small lees between all j arts of tho
grounds, and to accommodate them
with almost every conceivable conven
ience in the way of personal rest and
cleanliness, the transportation of their
packages, etc., etc.
The device which most exactly meets
tlie wants of tired visitors is the roll
ing chair. This has already' become
very popular, especially with ladies,
who, paying 60 cents au hour, are en
abled by sitting in a rolling chair to
save themselves from a great deal of
fatigue. The men who were employed
to push the chairs through the most of
the forty miles of naves, transepts,
avenues, aisles and galleries in the
principal buildings, and the seven miles
of walks i 1 the grouu s, with compara
tively few breaks even in Uie present
unfinished state of things. The chairs
lire the most beneficial enntrivnnoes
within tinTgrouiids.
IV.
Tlio restaurants in the grounds and
buildings are five. viz. The American
restaurant, the Southern restaurant, the
Trois Freres Provencal, Laubor’s Gor
man restaurant, and the restaurant
Sudreau. Of these the American res
taurant (which is kept by a number of
enterprising Israelites) is, so far, much
the best, and there is, moreover, little,
il' any swindling there. It is situated
in the pleasant part of the grounds,
near the Agricultural building, is sur
rounded by broad piazzas, where tables

are spread behind projecting awnings,
which shield them from the sun, and
has attached to it a pagoda, where a
band of music while away the hours of
the afternoon. Liquors and wines are
sold, also ales; and there is a largo
beer stand close by, and a number of
automatic swings under the shade trees.
At present a visitor meets at the
Trois Freres restaurant with incivility
and extortion. Its appointments aro
infer,or, and _ continuance of its pres
ent style of management ought to and
will deprive it of a paying patronage.
1 ' Tho other restaurants are moderately
good. Some lunch counters, dairies
and fruit “pavilions” are not yet ready,
and the celebrated peanut stands, for
which it is said a concession ot $3,000
was paid to the commission, are no
where visible. *
v.
The crunching under many heo’s
which the grounds got last Wednesday
made the grass sick and destroyed some
of the shrubbery. For a fortnight or
three weeks hence, too, the railway
tracks will continue to lie in the grounds
and mar the vicinage of the principal
buildings. Up to tue present time the
narrow-guage railroad encircling tho
exhibition has been put to no use, and
the collection of idle cars standing on
the rails is an additional blot upon the
scene.
The fountains outside and inside the
buildings are for the most part unfin
ished. Tho Catholic Total Abstinence
at the west end of moehinery hall is
altogether the most ambitious, and can
not be completed for some weeks.
But a fountain within sight of it in the
midst of the lake, which consists of a
central jet and a myriad of surround
ing jets, playing towards it from the
rim tq a little rock isiet, presents a
sight more refreshing than the elabo
rate workmanship of any other foun
tain yet constructed. Soda water foun
ta ns are frequent, and invoices arrive
of lemon and sarsaparilla pop. Boot
blackuig stands, vivid flower-beds.sur
rounding a still more vivid pagoda
which advertises the guano which helps
the flowers to flourish, photograph gal
leries, ticket offices, smoking rooms and
bath-houses will be among the versatil
ities of tho snow.
VI.
The best music has been withdrawn
since the opening day from the exhibi
tion m> the scene of Thomas’ evening
concerts, four miles away, in Horticul
tural hall, Philadelphia, Gilmore’s
band gives concerts every morning and
afternoon in the grand central pavilion
of the main building, where seats have
been arranged for a considerable audi
ence. Tuo band can be heard a great
way in the distance on every side.
From time to time the organs in the
galleries over the north end of the
transept and the east end of the nave
peal through the buihliug. Machinery
hall has no music .save the whir-r-r of
the majestic Corliss engine, the noise
of miles of imperfectly oiled shafting,
and the multitudinous voices of imple
ments in swift motion. In the eastern
gallery of tho Horticultural building is
set up an “eiectrical organ,” resemb
ling the German instrument run by
clockwork, which plays tunes with a.-
touishing accuracy and fire. There are
rumors of a coining steam organ, cal
liope, which will send forth the notes of
patriotic fogues over many suffering
miles.
The more music tho merrier, of course,
for much weariness is entailed upon the
visitors to such a huge show, and music,
next to convenient places of repose
and refreshment, is tho best corrective
of nervous exhaustion.
vir.
The exhibition in the Main Building
is chiefly attractive at present in tho
portions fronting on tho central nave,
which extends through the vast length,
1,880 feet, of the structure. This nave
and the transept crossing it midway,
are lined with displays, comparatively
complete and well arranged, of the dif
ferent countries. But most of the ex
hibits extend backward on cither side
of die nave or central aisle to the north
and south walls, any one wlic traverses
or penetrates them in those directions
finds himself in labyrinths of unopened
or half-opened packing-boxes disor
dered show-cases and industrious me
chanics and experts, England, Brazil,
France, Egypt, the Netherlands, Nor
way and Sweden are the nearest ready.
The rest ff the national exhibitions are
in such stages of concealment and par
tial undress that it is hardly fair just
now to emulate the example of writers
who have set out upon an attempted
comparison of their merits. If what
is to be sa.d critically of the objects
of beauty and use so beautifully dis
placed here is worth saying at till, it is
to bo said after not over hasty glaiibes
down these miles of avenues.
The machinery building is even
more unprepared for systematic descrip
tion. Two-thirds of the machines
which are to be operative during the
exhibition are not fully set up. llqt
enough appears to testify that the con
tributions of tho United States to this
department will lie far more creditable,
comparatively, than those of any other
building, except agricultural hall. The
government exhibition is, of course, by
itself.
vm.
Horticultural hall is so much more
attractive than its contents that until
the season of flowers comes it will be
simply a delightful shelter from tho
rains. It is the most beautiful build
ing in the grounds, and it is a real pity
that the choicely selected colors which
adorn its outside arc destined to fade
this summer under tho hottest rays
above Tophet. A greater pity is that
the grounds surrounding it, admirably
laid out, are likely, judging from pres
j eut indications, to be spotted and made
;to resemble a revolutionary quilt by a
patch-work of ill-ordered flower gar
dens. The view from this point is too
charming to be chequered in that way ;
and ail must hope tuat Air. Miller, the
excellent head of the department, will
compel a fair adherence to good taste
on the part of ail outside exiuoitors of
flowers and shrubbery.
In the agricultural building things
promise to bo very lively before the
summer’s close. This is a department
which will increase interest as the
months proceed, and August and au
tumn must come before rural pilgrims
to uie Centennial will derive tneiice the
fullness of joy. Still, mighty things
are already going on tuere, and Ameri
can “machines” make a noise louder
tiian the tails of a thousand rattle
j snakes. In antagonism to the wines,
l ales and the olives and chow-chow of
j the Old VVorul the United States are
! getting up eases full of native wines of
fearful strength, and of pickles and
other indigestioles from wmeu the label,
“Warranted to Cramp in Fifteen Min
utes,” has been treacherously omitted.
ix.
Memorial hall and the art gallery in
the rear of it are neither of tuem pre-
I pared. But few of tue galleries .in
1 memorial Hall are completely hung;
| slid fewer are completely labeled, a.id
the cuamoers iu tue rear minding are
mostly nr chaos, it will be a good
while before tuo statuary and paint
ing and specimens of art applied to in
dustry of tuo several counties are fully
j arranged so that by the partial aid of
[ the incomplete catalogues, and tue sttU
| more partial aid of tue usuers, a novice
will oe aule to pursue ins inquiries here
| with satisfai on. To day-a connois
seur could merely examine specimens
of contributions m a few parrs oi the
memorial imil and eaten gumpses of
divers canvases in the annex. The
French paintings were not ad hung,
i'iie Italian stacuery (the most of wuicn
will d.sappuint all out the lovers of
fanciful and fantastic sculpture) was
still Hemmed, round by boxes and siiav
lngs.
Thorn are some things iu these art
buildings of extraordinary merit—a
very few tliiugs of that description
winch are .American.
x.
The decision to close the exhibition
on Sunday meets with a volume oi
protestations from every quarter ex
cept England that will uuitaiuly compel
tue opening of tue grounds, and of tue
buildings sooner or later. Frouably
tue necessity of increasing the receipts,
which have steadily fallen off since the
opening day, will accelerate the revis
ion of tue commission's first resolve.
HOW FRANKLE'S SECURED A
SEA f.
Dr. Franklin owed much of his ex
traordinary success to his Keen insight
into human nature, and a sagacity that,
quickly perceived the best and readiest
J method of attaining a desired end. To
| be sure, many of his ‘stragic move
ments’ were not commendable; but
they were more humorous than injuri
ous ; of which the following is a char
acter specimen:
In tue year 1723, Franklin visited
Boston, and on his return to Fiiiladel
! piua, at every stopping place ho was
beset with officious inquiries for his
name, business, etc., on which he de-
teruiiucd to be beforehand with such
interrogatories in future. At tlie next
tavern lie announced himself as Benja
min Franklin, from Boston to Philadel
phia, a printer not worth a dollar,
eiguteen years of age, a single man,
seeking his fortune, e,te., and Ull3 sin
gular introduction checked all further
inquiries, and effectually repulsed the
daring propensity of Yankee inquisi
tiveness. At one of the public houses,
the lire place was surrounded by men
so closely packed our traveller could
not get near enough to feel any of its
agreeable warmth, aud being cold and
chilled, he called o it:
Hostler, have you got any oysters?
Yes sir, said the man.
'Well, then, give my horse a peek.
What, give your hoise oysters? in
quired tlie wondering skeptic.
‘Yes, retorted Franklin , give him a
peek of oysters.
The hosier carried out oyslei‘3, and
many of tho occupiers of the fire-place
went wit-h him to witness the groat cu
riosity of a horse eating oysters.—
Franklin seated himself comfortably in
a chair before the fire, and derived
much satisfaction and enjoyment from
his funny experiment. The horse would
not eat the oysters, sir! and they had
lost their cosy, comfortable, warm seats.
Well, said Franklin, if tho horse
won’t eat them, I’ll eat them myself,
you try him with r. peck of oats.
llij.HA.uk ,u;i,k Buvrii—There are in
North Carolina two twins who were
born on the last night of the old year
—one was born ten minutes before

AN AWFUL LITTLE GIRL.
There was once an awful little girl,
who had an awful way of saying “aw
ful” to everything. Sho live l in an
awful iiousc, in an awful street, in an
awful village, which was an awful dis
tance from every other awful place.
Sue went to a school, where she hr. 1 an
awful teacher, who gave her awful les
sons out of awful books. Every day
she was so awful hungry that she ate
an awful amount off. 0.1, so that siie
looked awfcl healthy. Her hat was
awful small, and her feet were awful
large. she went to an awful church,
and her minister was an awful preach
er. When she took an awful walk, me
climbed awful hills, an l when she got
awful tired, she sat down under a:i aw
ful tree to rest her awful seif. In sum
mer she found the weather awful hot,
and in winter awful cold. When it
didn’t rain there was an awful drought,
and when an awful drought was over
there was an awful rain. So that this
awful girl was all the time in an awful
state, and if she does not get over say
ing “awful” about everything, she will
by-and.by come to an awful end. And
this awful little girl lives in this awful
e i ty . —Oinc inmti Times .
LOOK OUT, YOUNG MAN.
When it is said of a youth “he
drinks,” and it can be proven, what
store wants him for a clerk? What
church wants him lor a member? Who
will trust him? What dying man will
appoint him as his executor? lie may
have been foity years in building ids
reputation—it goes down. Letters of
roeommetidation, the backing of busi
ness firms, a brilliant ancestry, cannot
save him. The world shies off. Why?
It is whispered all through the commu
nity “lie drinks ! He drinks?” That
blasts him. When a young man loses
his reputation for sobriety, he might as
well bo at the bottom of the? sea.
There are young men who have their
good name as their only capital. Your
father lias started you out to city life.
He could only give you au c 1 .cation,
lie gave you no means. II j started
you, however, under Christian influ
ences. You have come to the city.
You are not achieving your own fortune
under God, your own right arm. Now,
looiv out, young man, that there is no
doubt of your sobriety. Do not create
any suspicions by going in and out of
liquor establishments, or by any odor
of your breath, or by any glare of your
eyes, or by any unnatural flush of your
check. You cannot afford to do it, For
your good name is your only capital,
and when that is blasted by the
reputation of taking strong' drink, all
is gone flyover.

TEXAS FROM THE TAL UD.
If thy wife is small, bond down* to
her, and speak to her; do nothing
without her advice.
Everything in life can be replaced
the wife of early days is irreplacea
ble,
An honorable man loves his wife
a contemptible one despiseth her.
The loss of a first wife is like the
1033 of a man’s sanctuary in his life
time.
i t If a man divorced his wife the al
ter itself sheds tears over him.
Man and wife well matched have
heaven’s glory as their companion;
man and woman ill matched are encir
cled by a devouring fire.
Rather any ache than heartache;
rather any evil than an evil wife.
Ho that loveth his wife like him
self, and honoreth her even more
than himself; who leadeth his sons
and His daughters in tho path of integ
rity, and who provides fort heir settle
ment in early life: to him may be
applied the Scripture passage, “Thou
shalt know that peace shall adorn thy
tent.”
A man who takes a wife for her
money rears ill-behaved children.
Ha who marries a woman congenial
to himself is loved by the Almighty.
(Then a man losetlr his wife, the
world around him groeth dark, tho light
in his tent is dim and tho light before
him is extinguished.
lie who has no wife lives without
comfort, without help, without joy,
without blessing.

an old woman is a pearl.
AN OR THESE MAN.
She was a stylish young lady about |
18 years old and to aecominodotc a I
frien 1 site took the baby out for an :
airing. She was wheeling it up ami!
down the walk when an oldish man,
very deaf, came, along and inquired for
a certain person supposed to live on
that street. She nearly yelled her head
off trying to an wer him, and lie looke 1
around, caught sight of the baby and
said.
“Nice child that. 1 suppose 3*oll
feel proud ol' him?"
“It isn’t mine,” she yelled at him.
“Boy eh? /Tell, lie looks just like
you.”
“It isn’t mine!” she yelled again,
but no led hi; lie id and continued.:
“Twins, eh? Where is’totnor one?”
She started off wit :i the cab, but he
followed ami asked :
“Did it die ofeolic?”
Despairing of making him under
stand by words of mouth, she pointed
to the baby, at herself, and then shook
her head.
“Yes—yes, I see—'tother twin in the
house. Their father fond of them of
course.”
Siie turned the cab and hurried the
other way, but lie followed and asked :
‘Dothep kick a ound much at night?
“Itell you ’tain’t mine !” she shout
ed, looking very red in the face.
“I think you are wrong there !” he
answered. “Children brought up on
the bottle aro apt to pine and die.”
She starte I off on a run for the gate
before she had opened it he came up
and asked:
“Have to spank ’em once in awhile,
I suppose?”
She made about twenty gestures in
half a minute, and he helped the cab
through the gate;
Our children were all twins, an 1 I’ll
send my wile down to give 3'ou some
advice. You sec—”
But she picks 1 up a (lower pot and
flung it at him. He jumped back, and
as sue entered the house lie called
out:
“Hope insanity won’t break out on
the twins!”
MOW GIRLS ARE M IDE PRET
TY.
The Hindoo" girls are graceful and
exquisitely formed. From their ear.
hast childhood they arc accustomed to
carry burdens on their heads, The
water for family use D always brought
by tiic girls, in earthen jars, carfully.
poised in this way. This exercise is
said to strengthen tho muscles of the
back, while the chest is thrown for
ward. No crooked backs are seen in
Hindootan. Dr. Henry Spy, one of the
company's medical officers, says that
“this exercise of carrying small vessels
of water on the hca l might, be advan
tageously introduced into our board
ingsehools and private families, and
that it might entirely supercede the
present machinery ofdumb-bolls back
boards, skipping-roaeps, etc. The
young lady ought to be taught to carry
the jar, as these Hindoo women do,
without ever touching it with her hand.
The s-itno practice of carrying water
leads to precisely tho same results in
tho south of Spain and in the soutu
of Italy as in India. A Neapolitan
female peasant will carry 0:1 her head
a vessel full of water to the very brim,
over a rough road and not spill a drop
of it; and the acquisition of this art
or knack gives her tho same erect and
