AFTER THE SHADOWS. Life may grow darkened, though love has thrown The strength of its light ground it; Til! longer and deeper the shadows grow n, Hide the halo of bliss that crowned it; Ciotids may float, down on our valley of peace, And crush our meek flowers with seorn- shall «ng, . . Yet never this song in our spirit ccn8o— After the shadows, the morning. Never so closely does pain fold its wings But the white robe of Sympathy’s near it; And each Uar that the dark hand of Misery wrings Brings the touch of a blessing to cheer it; As fades the dim night at the coming of day, When it weaves its bright web of adorn- ing, So floateth pale grief from our life path away, Ccme, alter our shadows, the morning. A National Flower. From the New Orleans Picayune. There is a controversy going on as to what shall he the national (lower for the United States. The Now York Sun is for the sunflower. The Herald demands that the violet shall be the national emblem. The Her ald, in advocating its views, says : “It is true that the sunflower has good points. It is hardy, brilliant in color and constant in its habit of foe iDg the source of light. But it lacks the fragrance and daintiness of the violet. It is almost a weed, if not quite.’’ The St. Louis Republic has notions on the subject. It says : “If the United States are to have a “national flower” let it be the finest and fairest of the North American continent—the flower of the deciduous magnolia (magnolia makropliylla,) indigenous in the woods of the central Mississippi valley. Or if not that, then the catkin of Missouri black jack. As for sunflower,’ wc will have none of it.” The magnolia proposed by the Re public is not our Southern variety, the grandiflori, the most splendid native flower on the continent. ■ It is not to be expected that a specifically Southern blossom would be chosen as tho national emblem. But at any rate, let us have a truly American flower. The sunflower was sacred in Egypt, the violet was Napoleon’s fav orite. Why not choose our mountain laurel, (kalmia latifolia,) which crowns the mountains of the United States from Maine to Alabama. It exists in immense tracts in the Blue Ridge and Alleghany mountains and loves high places. It is a splendid flower, peculiar to our couutiy and confined to none of the sections that have figured in the history of the na tions; It belongs to all. HE’S NOT AFRAID. Capt. John M. Duffy Solves the Pro tection Idea. ‘‘Don’t you like ’em?" “What?” s “These!” “These what?” “These duds!” “They’re all right; what’s the matter with them?” Nothing, only I thought you might not have noticed them. Six dollars! Think of it! Six dollars! And I wouldn't give them for a gravel pit in Tyrone of a turt bog in Donegal. I've solved this free trade bugaboo. Here is a suit that was planted in Georgia, thinned out in Georgia, hoed and plowed in Georgia, picked in Georgia, ginned in Georgia, spun in Georgia, woven, dyed and made up in Georgia, and now I’m wearing it. Talk about English free trade! It is physically and financially impossible to ship cot ton to England, make it up into wear ing apparel and ship it back low enough to compete with our Southern manufactures. They can’t do it. I’m in for supporting home manufactures. How does this fit me?” The reporter said that the suit fitted like the paper on the wall, and it did. —Memphis Appeal. A Chapter of Calamities. From tho Northwest Trado. A Southern merchant had a chance the other day to fin’d the first cause of an accident which happened in his store. A rattlesnake frightened a cat, that scared a hen, that knocked a jar of jam from a shelf, which hit the fau cet of a barrel of molasses, which turn ed the faucet, causing the loss of a barrel'll molasses. But the man who sends A* boy who orders goods which nourish the body which supports the mau who never intends to pay for what he received is often more expensive than this rattlesnake.
