I pray tho, dearest Nellie, take This boquet of sweet flowers ; And let it be within thy hand But for a few short hours; And though ail faded you again Restore it back to me, It shall btconie a treasure rich In memory of thee. I think of thee when starlight fades Within the deep blue sky ; When roses bloom, and the light lark His song is rising high ; And ns upon thy gift 1 gaze All faded though it be, My thoughts are turning, turning, love, On thee, and only thee. I often press unto my lips These failed, withered flowers, And pray that love may bless my life, Tltn ugh nil its weary hours, And tho’ I roam throughout the land, Or cross the trackless sea, One image shall hut fill my heart, That image is of thee.

Amen 1” How Mike Walsh Sold flic Professor of Botany. We cut the following extract from a se ries of “Anecdotes of Mike Walsli,” now publishing in the Leader: At the foot of the Capitol gardens in Pennsylvania avenue (on the right hand side when you are fronting that building,) is an inclosed space—national property— containing one or more tenements and some conservatories and hot houses. Here for some years and until his death, enjoy ing Uncle Sam’s patronage, sojourned a Frenchman, learned in botany ana many other sciences. Some companions, while passing these premises, were vaunting his acquirements to Mike, who, from a spirit of contradiction, called them in question. Ho doubted whether these eminent botan ists knew the difference between oats and wheat, and believed, lie said, that a Bowe ry hoy could persuade them that com was clover. Finally. Mike undertook, “botan ically,” to decievo the Frenchman with whatever he could pick up where they stood, iu the Jane skirting his premises. From a v’reck of flower-pots and rubbish, he selected one sound pot and a dead rat lying near the heap. Placing the rat in j the flower-pot, he covered it up with mould, leaving out the tail, which lie fixed perpendicularly by tying it caiefully with a small gieeii stick, which happened to he “convenient” among the garden rubbish. He next called on the professor, and told hitn that a friend, Lieut. , (whose hav ing touched at one of the Islßnds of the then terrafnengniia, Japan, had excited some iuteiest,) iiad presented him with a very curious kind ol cactus. This lie wish ed the professor to examine. No one,! Mike said, had been able to make it out, and ho, might have it for ten years and not find five people who would; so he hard ly felt justified in keeping it out of a pub lic collection, ami yet lie did not like to part with a keepsake from a “friend.” The Professor eagerly’ repaired to ex amine the vegetable curiosity. After a close inspection, lie determined what it was, or at least, christened it by a fino Greek name—tivo words, as Mike said, averaging sixteen letters. The Professor exhausted himself in persuading Mike that the interest of science required that he should sacrifice to them the sentiments of friendship, by surrendering this rare production of the vegetable kingdom to the keeping of tho botanist. Tho reluc tant Mike eventually consented, on the willing and solemn assurance of the Pro fessor that it would be tended with the ut most care; and so it was. Placed in a hot-house, it was cautiously hut carefully besprinkled with water at a temperature of Seventy degrees by the thermometer. It was noticed and described in the Na tional Intelligencer. The notice was cop ied into the other papers. The plant was exhibited with pride to several eminent individuals; at length, with the heat and moisture, the tip of the tail began to exco riate. The Professor was delighted—it was budding. It was examined with great interest by one of his chief patrons, “the great Daniel,” to whom the Botanist prom ised one of the first slips to Marshfield. “It was too good a joke to keep,” said Mike “especially in a hot-house, so before long they smelt a rat.” The wrath aud shame of the Professor was excessive, and so was the indignation of the great Dom Daniel, not at the autitor of the joke, but at the unfortunate Botanist, whom he stigmatized as a “d—d frog-eating French man, through whom he had been taken in, and who ought to have known better.” Hints on Marriage. If you don't know what to do with your self, and feel like committing suicide, got married iu a hurry, A Xantippe will soon cure you of ennui. If you are broken-hearted because the girl of your fancy has married “that con ceited fool Jones,” don’t despair. A man's heart is like a lobster’s claw—when the latter is broken, another immediately sprouts forth, and grows up in its place. II you intend marrying for love, pay your addresses to the lovely oue ; hut if for money, court the old folks hardest. It would be well, before becoming dcs perately enamouied of a pretty face, to see it at the breakfast-table. It is slightly doubtful whether, if a la dy takes no care of her person before mar riage, her husband will he safe from hut tonless shirts and undarned stock ings ever afterwards. If you are a little marry a woman whom all the world praises for her beauty. She will have a t:oup of gay dashing yonng fellows about her, and you will be kept in a most delightful state of “hot water.'* - „ If you would have a monopoly oC yoHr wife's affection, and your motto is— “ Like Alexander I would reign, And I would reign alone.” ‘“co In’*-* oo * for t<"7 fyes n<l a Greek nose, and lips that “seem on roses fed,” and a’ that, but for a lovely pug nose, a mouth charmingly awry, and teeth divine ly not in rows. Ydu will need no dragon to guard your “golden fruit.” If you are not fastidious about cooking matters, and don’t like to see a house look too neat, marry a woman whom everybody extols for her talents. Second marriages arc not always like second thoughts. Marriage and single blessedness are like two roads t. a place of which the Yankee said. “Take which you please, you'll wish you had taken the other.” If your wife cries or pouts often without reason, don’t fall on your knees to her, and pour out your sympathy on every such oc casion ; but dance a popular jig, or whistle some merry tune —anything to sliorv you are unconcerned. Don’t be surprised if, after you have sailed smoothly eight or ten months on the voyage of matrimony, you are overtaken hy squalls. If your wife is continually telling you that she is miserable, and must leave you, affect to leave her. aud she will chase you to the encl of the world. Fallier of Charlotte Broute. A melancholy interest invests the house and family of Charlotte Bronte, so distin guished for talent and for suffering. A recent writer in Frazer’s Magazine gives the following sketch of the father: The attendance was small in the morn ing, but better in the afternoon, when Mr. Bronte preached ; owing to his advanced years he is not gble to attend the whole service, hut comes into the church when the prayers are half over. A most affect ing sight, in truth, it is to see him walk ing down the aisle with his feeble steps, and entering his solitary pew, once filled with wife and children, Bow utterly deso late, whole close beside it rests the tomb stone inscribed wdtli their names. Full of sorrow and trouble though his life has been, the energy of the lust survivor of tho race seems not a whit abated; his voice is still loud and clear, his words full ot fire, his manner one of earnestness. Lucid, nervous, aud logical, the style of his preaching belongs to a by gone day, when sermons made more of stuly than they are now, and when it was considered quite as necessary to think much and deeply as to give expression .to those thoughts in language not only impressive and eloquent, hut vigorous and coucise. It would not he oasy to give a faithful picture of the impression which Mr. Bronte evidently produces on his hearers, or of his venerable and striking nppearane in the pulpit. He used no notes whatever, and preached foi half an hour without ever being at a loss fora word, or betraying the smallest sign of any decay of his intellec tual faculties. Very handsome lie must have been in his younger days, for traces of beauty the most refined and noble in expression even yet show themselves in his features and in his striking profile. His brow is still unwrinkled ; his hair and whiskers snowy white; lines very decided in their charac ter are impressed about the mouth ; the eyes are large and penetrating. In man ner he is, as may have been gathered from what has been already said quiet and dig nified. ‘ The White Stone. “To him that overcometh will I give a white stone.”—Rev. it; 17. ~ It is generally thought hy commenters that this is a reference to an ancient judi cial custom, of dropping a blacll stone into an urn when it is intended to condemn, aud a white stone when the prisoner is to he acquitted ; but this is an act so distinct from that described, “I will give thee a white stone,” that we. are disposed to agree with those who think it refers rather to a custom of a very different kind, and not unknown to the .classical reader—accord ing with beautiful propriety to the case be fore us: |n primitive times, when trav elling was rendered difficult, from want o places of public entertainment, hospitality was exercised hy private individuals to a veiy great extent —of which, indeed, we find frequent tiaces in all history, and iu none the Old Testament. Per sons who partook of this-hospitality, aud those who practised it, frequently contrac ted habits of friendship and regard for “Lack other; and it became, a well-estab lished custom among the Greeks and Ro mans to provide their guests willi some particular mark, which was banded down from father to son, and insured hospitality and kind treatment whenever it was pre sented. This mark was nstially a small stone or pebble cut in halt, and upon the halves of whicl the host and the guest mutually inscribed their names, and then interchanged them with each, other. The production of this tessera war quite suf ficient to insure themeelves or descendants whenever they travelled again in the same direction, while it is evi dent that I hose stones required to he pri vatcly kept, and the names written upon them caieiully concealed, lest others should obtain the privileges instead of the persons for whom they wee intended. |y “I’m getting fat,” as the fcllpw said when lie was stealing lard. The Mirage of Life. The child’s eyes are enchanted, but he does not know it, and he believes in all he sees. He does not doubt the shimmer and tho glory of the scenes that lie before him. To him the future is not a sandy desert strewed with dead men’s bones ; it is a wide-spread savannn, fruitful as the tropics, and delightful ,13 Elysian plains, lie gazes down the vista of life, and every phantasm seems to his ardent sight as a real and pleasant thing. There is not a pageant looming in the distance, there is not one of the dissolving views which hope creates and fancy touches up to bewilder ing brightness, that the child does not accept as real, and soon to he proved so. All the prismatic views thnt appear to flash across his forward path lie thinks are really lighting it, and that he shall be touch ed and beautified hy their radiance when once he is there. Bright and fair is the apparent prospect before him ; no wonder that the child is in haste to get on. There is everything to lure him—freedom, plenty sweet gardens, flowing fountains, noble forms, smiling faces, and beckoning hands, lie sees the waving of palms and the gut ter of jewels; he hears the voice of trum pet and of lißrp. Oh ! all is before him— on, on. And on he rushes, breathlessly, to the end of childhood, through youth, and often into manhood, before lie becomes fully aware that shape, complexion, and mien of his phantom have all been rapid ly changing, and that what he took for true worth and beauty is in reality no bet ter than a raree-show or a mirage of the desert. At last, grown keen-eyed by hard lessons, he pierces through the cheat, and sees the hare and barren seeds of life For him there is afterwards no more en chantment. A Nation Born at Once. A remarkable display of the power of Divine giace among a heathen people has recently taken place* in the island of Celebes. Some missionaries of the Nctlie lanrls Missionary Society have labored therefor some years out with little ap parent success. Oue of these missionaries, howover, now describes the wonderful shower of mercy with which they are visited. A native preacher w|ts passing through a village on Saturday to his preaching ap pointment on the Sabbath, when lie saw the priest, wlßo had been bitterly opposed to the Gospel and the missionaries, with a large crow and about him. Trembling with fear, lie inquired what they wanted, when he was told, greatly to his surprise, that he and the peoplehad rcsovledto rt nounco idolatry and become Christians. The movement spread from villago to village the people casting away their idols, and seeking instruction from the missiona ries. The people say that they had come to the knowledge of the truth chiefly hy the instruction their children had received in tho mission schools. Tho missionary mentions three districts, containing at the beginning of the vear not less tlinn 10,000 heathens, and adtfs, “hut to all appearance, and with the help of God, hy the end of the year, there will he not one left there.” PI.EASUBBS OF CONTENTMENT. —1 have a rich neighbor who is always so busy that hcJias no leisure to laugh ; the whole business of his life is to get money, more money, that he may still get more money. He is still drudging on, saying what Sol omon says: “The diligent linn I inaketh rich.” And it is true, indeed ; but lie con siders not that it is not in the power of riches to make a man happy: for it was wisely said, by a man of great observation, “That there be as many miseries beyond riches as on this side of them.” And yet Heaven deliver us from pinching poverty, ■ and grant that, having a competency, wc may be content and thankful. Let us not repine, or so much think that the gifts of God are unequally dealt, if wo see another abound with riches,/’when, as God knows, the cares that are the keys that keep those riches hang {iften so heavily at the rich •nan's girdle that tliej clog him with weary days and restless nights, even when others sleep quietly. We see but tho outside of the rich man’s happiness ; few consider him like the silk-worm, that, when she seems to play, is at the same time spin ning her own bowels, and her self. And this many rich men do, loading themselves with corroding cares t,< keep what they have already got. Let us, therefore, be thankful for health and com petence, and, above alh for a quiet con science. Augusta, Ga.— l believe that to Gener al Oglethorpe this place is indebted for its name. It was named in honor of one of the royal princess, who was named Augus ta. The town of Augusta was laid out in the year 1735 by the trustees under the royal charter, and became a garrison foi the British as early as 1736. Krom this it will be seen that Augusta is about 125 years old, altliough it lias the appearanet! of being anew place. In 1-776 Angusta was the seat of government. This was while savannah was in tho possession of j the British. Augusta was taken hy the j British in January, 1799. They eracua j ted the place, however, the following month. —Son there Enterprise. Terms—Bl,so Always In Advance. Au Artist in Luck. And avtist from New York, wc believe, was drawn hy his love of nature and art, and liis desire of wealth and fame, to the pleasant town of North Bartlett, N. Hamp shire, a few summers ago, with his family he boarded at the house of an. honest farm er, busying himself in taking sketches of the mountain scenery. To borrow the far mer’s words, the artist “did not pay his board very regularly, hut he was a quiet, ulcasaut inmate, and my woman was lather took hy his wife and children, so we let them hang on through the season. When Mr. went away lie paid’ part of hi* bill, and as security tor tho balance ($35). left a view of Mount Washington, which he said was worth $250. (No landscape was ever worth that sum, in my opinion.) We agreed Hist if I sold it for more than he owed, l should send him the difference.” The landlord's prospect of recovering hispay sccnicdtohim exceedingly doubtful, and for a long time the picture hung on tho farmer's wall, unsold and unappreciated ; but mark the sequel, as told by tho fariueii in a letter to tho N. Y. Evening Post. “A gentleman has seen this view and took a great fancy to it.. He said the fall colors were brighter and the mountains more distinct than any lie had seen in Bos ton. (The barn hy the meadow has been, carried away since by a freshet, hut it’s as natural as life ia the painting—you can count the shingles in the roof.) I asked $250 at first, and he offered $75; finally I screwed him to $125, so there are S9O dua- Mr. . As you are acquainted with, artists, perhaps you will know if he is still living.

As soon as you let me know, I will send you the money in good bills of Central Haibor Bank, or will take Mr. or any friend of his, to hoard this summer for the amount. Yonrg Resoectfully. T. Crawfoßd Bbmus. Brigham Talking to the Saints. Brigham Young, in a discourse to his followers at the Tabernacle at Salt Lake City a short time since, said : “I have very little to say to men who are dissatisfied with my course, or with the course of my brethren. Some have wish ed me explain why we built and adobe wall around this ciy. Are there nuy saints who stumble at such tlijpgs ? 0, slow of heart to understand and believe ! 1 build’ walls, dig ditches, make bridges, and do a great amount aud variety of labor that is of but little consequence, only to provide ways and means for sustaining and preserv ing the destitute. I anaually expend hun dreds of thousands of dollars almost selely to furnish employment to those in watt of labor. Why ? I lu.vo potatoes, flour, tees, and other articles of food, which X wish my brethren to have ; and it is better for them to labor for those articles, so far as they are able and have an opportunity, than to have them give to them. They work, and Ideal out provisions, often when the work not profit me. “I say to all grunters, grumblers whi ners, hypocrites, and sycophants, who sniv el, crouch, and crawl around the liiost contemptible ofall creatures for a slight favor, should it enter my mind to dig down the Twin Peaks, and I set men to work to do so_, it is none of your business, nither is it the business of all earth and bell, pro vided l pay the laborers their wages. I am not to he called in question as to what I do with my funds, whether I build high walls or low w alls garden walls or city walls and if I please, it is iny right to pull dewit my walls to-morrow. If any one wishes to apostatize upon such grounds, the quick er lie does so the better ; and if he wishes to leave the Territory, but is too poor to do so, I will assist him to go. We are much better off without such characters.’^ Young Men v axd Tree Frogs.— The following quaint comparison ia forcible and true. L would be well if our young men would note the moral of the terse passage we quote below : “The tree frog acquires the color of whatever itadhers to for a short time. If it he found on the oak, it is of. a brown color, on the sycamore or cedar lie is of a hio. n color; butwbeu found on rile growing corn be is surq to he green. Just so is it with young men. Their companions tell us what their characters are —if they associate with tire vulgar, the licentious and the profane, then their hearts are already tainted with- guilt,, and they will be themselves alike vicious; The 6tudy of had hooks or the love of wicked companions, is the broadest and. most certain road to ruin that a young’ man can travel, and a few well directed lessons in either will lead him on, step by step., to the very gate of destruction. Our moral and physical laws show lo ■ perilous it is to gaze* on a picture or ocene that pulla’es the imagination or blunts the moral per ceptions, or has a tendency to deaden a sense of our duty to God or mail.” |*P*Tlia single ladies in Pittsburg, the other day,, attempted to befriend a young lad who had been pierced by the fangs of. the law, but an ungallant .Judge positively refused to accept their proffered bail, ab I though shey weie proved to be worth j $25,000 each, on ihe ground that they *\ i re females.
