I wonder, would it ever be
That 1 could give a Uttio love to tlici ?
If in juiaKi a place
I should b*u a fact.
Sot uow so long ago,
That I should scarooly Knot
If it might be U same,
And if one spoke my name,
However faintly,
In the old way— stealing aaintly,
chant upon my ear—
In a place 1 fear
It vonld never, never be
Tlmt thou oooldst have a little love for roe.
THE TWO WHITE HOSES.
An Incident of Parisian Life.
Mademoiselle Pascaline Benoit was one
of the most renowned florin's in Paris. Him
was an enthusiast in her profession, but
■very poor ; ntill ftho cultivated her flowers
wftn poetic zeal which excited the ad
miration of all whir knew her. llor little
garden, situated at the outskirts of the
city, always contained some prodigy of the
vegetable kingdom.
It was mid winter when a fine equipage
drew up and stopped in front of Taocaliuu’s
door. A lino-looking matron and u charm
ing yoang lady alighted from the carriage;
it was the marchioness do Itegeniul and
Lor daughter.
“Mademoiselle," said tho marchioness,
"my daughter is to bo married tho day
after to-morrow, and wo wish a whito rose
for her wedding dress. lam told that yon
have one.”
"Yes, I have two,” replied Pascaline.
“Can I seu them ? ” asked tho noble
lady.
•‘Certainly,” was tho response, and the
two visitors work conducted to a beautiful
rosebush l earing two bait-blown roses,
winch shed a most delicious perfume.
"Can't I have both of them ? ” inquired
the marchioness.
"No, madam,” snid Pascaline,' with a
sigh—"one of them is already promised.”
"Thou I will take this one,” said the
lady. "What is the price t "
“Two louis,” replied Pascaline,
“Here is tho money,” said tho mar
chioness. “Send tho rose to my hotel,
Hue Saint Honors.”
Paaouline bowed politely, and roeon
ducted her wealthy customers to the door
of her humble abode.
“How fortunate," she thought., “Forty
franks i With this sum I can pay my rent,
save myself from being turned out. Oh,
my dear mother ! ” who exclaimed, “from
thy happy place in heaven thou still guard
est and protectant thy daughter. ”
Tlio night was one of sadness to Fasca
lino. It was tho evo of tho anniversaay of
the death of her mother, a good and pious
woman, who had cultivated in her dangle
tor two chaste affections—love of God and
love of flowers. Slio wept as she reflected
upon .the last moments of that adored
mother, whom God had called to himself.
It was a cold night. Death had already
seined upon its victim. The weeping
daughter sat beside the bedside. The dy
ing mother said, in a fuiut but sweet voice:
"Pasealiue, are your white roses still
living V ”
“Yes, mothor.” was tho reply.
“Then bring them to mo, that I may
enjoy them once more.
The daughter brought them. They
were two beautiful, full-blown roses upon
one branch ; but the doctor said that one
of these flowers might injure the patient.
"No, never mind,” said Madam Benoit;
"these roses, like my child, will live long
after me. Fasealine, give mo ono of them.
Bury this olio with mo."
While she lay a corpse, tho rose was
placed iu her hand ; but as tho dead body
was placed in tho eoflln, tho leaves of tho
flowers fell off. She was buried, and the
grave had scni-coly closed, when tho daugh
ter made a solemn vow, as chaste and ten
der as tho heart that inspired it.
The night was thus passed in prayer and
filial remembrance. Next morning she
resumed her task in the garden. Blio re
collected that she had engaged to send a
rose to tho marchioness, and she went to
plnok it; but (sad to relate !) ono of the
flowers had withered away. Hnt a single
roso now remained.
That day the proprietor came and de
manded tho payment of his rout.
< “Sir," said Pasooline, “I am nimble to
pay you.”
"How’s that? yon have money," said
tho landlord, reminding her of the two
louis which he had learned sho had re
ceived from tho marchioness.
"That is no longer mine,” sho replied.
"The whito rose has withered and died.
The money is to he returned.”
"But there is another roso remaining,”
said he, "why not send it ? ”
“That is already promised,” said Pasoa
lino ; "all tho guld in the world would not
purchase it 1"
"Then,” said tho irritated proprietor,
"you must prepare to leave at once. I
cannot allow tenants to occupy my prop
erty for nothing.”
“You shall be obeyod,” said tho girl,
calmly.
Upon receiving tho money which sho
left with Pasealiue tho day before, the mar
eliioneas lmstend to the garden for the
purpose of lenrning why the rose had not
been sent She was informed that Mad
emoiselle Benoit bad just gone out with a
whito rose iu her hand. The marchioness
turned and saw her walking down the
street ; then, prompted by curiosity to see
where she was going, she resolved to fol
low her.
A* length Pascaline entered a cemetery.
She knelt at the grave of her mother ; and
after planting tho rose upon it, she ex
claimed :
"Oh, my mother ! n.'cept this pledge of
my remembrance 1 Deceive this flower
which thou iovest so much, aud which my
own bauds have cultivated for thee. In
tercede for thy poor child, who is this day
without protection or hope 1 ”
And with her team bedewed tho wooden
cross, which was the only monument that
marked tho resting place of that beloved
mother.
The marchioness, moved in tears, re
tired unpercoived. Tho next day Pasca
line was preparing to leave her homo,
when a well-dressed servant delivered her
the following note, inclosing two hundred
louis :
MxDEMujsEi.T.ie —I know all. I know you have
given to your mother tho tiower with" which I
winhod to adorn my wedding robe. 1 have a
mother whom I telore, and can appreciate votir
siatemal devotion. I therefore take this oppor
tunity of expressing my sympathy with von In
such heartfelt proof of filial affection, l’.i-a-e ac
cept the 'inclosed as snkatge of my remembrance.
I hope you will not refuses this privilege of com
mencing my married life by honoring all filial
piety. Your sincere friend, ’

Political Summary.
The Minnesota Republican Convention
met on the 28th of July, and nominated
John W. Piilsbtiry for Governor.
Senator McDonald, of Indiana, lias
been looking over the field in Ohio, and is
uoufidunt Unit the Democrats will win
Tho New York Democratic Stale exe
cutive Committee will meet nt Saratoga on
August 18th to arrange the time and place
for holding tho BUite Convention.
Our latest advices from Ohio, and from
Republican as well as Democratic sources,
are that Allen will certainly be elected
Governor by from 20,000 to JO,OOO majority
An interesting sight: Horace Greeley
looking blandly down from his portrait in
the Tribune office on tho city laborers ns
they went in and out from the tall tower
rum simp on Hnuday lost.
Governor Aroes, of Mississippi, is miss
ing. The only reference to his where
abouts which has appeared lately is this
in the Columbus (Miss.) JnUtix: "The
Chief Executive of tho State loll* at Iris
case in his northern heme, leaving our
lives in the hands of a negro who has re
peatedly violated his oath of ofHee, 'and,
to make a few dollnrs to spend in drunken
orgios, opens tho prison doors of robbers,
outlaws and murderer*, thus making
justice a miserable faroo,”
Lafayette Lana has boon nominated for
Congress by tho Democrats of Oregon.
Ho is n sou of General Joe Lane, a young
lawyer of marked ability, and a Democrat
ic politician of the most radical typo. Tho
platform of the Convention covers State
rights, the payment of tho public debt,
resumption of specie payments, legislative
control of railroad fares and freights, and
demands reform in all departments ; bids
for tho support of the Patrons of Hus
bandry ; opposes tho protective tariff, pa
per currency, national banks, Chinese
migration, fraud and corruption in office.
Occasionally there nro indications that
tho third term question is not entirely
dead. Out in Nebraska they soem to
think there is still something in it, for thy
Omaha Herald cays: : Democrats or Ito
publicnns who speculate upon tiro Presi
dency would do well not to count out
Ulysses Grant as a candidate. With Itos
ooe Colliding and the New York Custom
house usworn enoiuy of Blaine, if ho can
not obtain the prfco himself he will throw
it to Grant aH certain as sunshine. Gen
eral Grant is just ns much a candidate ns
over, aud all who think otherwise arc bad
ly fooled. New York in the strong hands
of Roscoo Coukliug will decide that little
lmartacho. ”
Unwiixino liiiiJOKH.—lf there is a person
on earth entitled to ainoere commiseration,
it it an unwilling bride—a girl who lias
given her hand, without, her heart, in mar
riage ; and more especially is she to be
pitied if her heart, unhappily, has been
prepossessed by another. Can any pros
pect bo more dreary than that which lies
before such a bride ? What has she to look
forward to, what to expect, what to hope ?
Linked not for n day, but for life, to one
with whom she has no sympathy—who is
no more than a stranger, save that in law
and in faot, but not in soul, ho is her hus
band ! Is it not dreadful to contemplate 1
How much moro so to experience 1 la na
tural and it in proper that parents should
desiro that their daughters should marry
well, and it is reasonable tlmt they should
prefer for them husbands in comfortnble
circumstances. But when it cornea to tho
exercise of compulsion iu the selection of
a husband—to commanding a daughters to
relinquish an engagement or an attachment
on which tier whole soul is fixed, and to
marry a man towards whom site feels in
difference or dislike - that is a very-difficult
mnttcr.
This Use op Fateh. —Tho following sta
tistics of the production and consumption
of paper nro furnished by a Viennn jour
nal : It appears that there nro 3,000 pa
per nmnufsetories in the world, employing
80,000 men and 180,000 women, besides
the 100,000 employed in the rag trade ;
1,800,000,000 pounds of paper are pro
duced annually. One-half is used in print
ing, a sixth for writing, and the remainder
for packing and other purposes. Tho Uni
ted States average 17 pounds per head ; an
Englishman consumes Jill ; a German 8
pounds; a Frenchman, 7 pounds ; an
Italian, 3J pounds ; a Spaniard, 1J pounds
and a Russian only one pound aiuinally,
on an average, This would indicate that
