""WhatI another flower, Tom; is not your window-sill full already?" "They don't cat nor drink, bless 'em, and it does me and my wifo good to look at 'em." It was but a passing j bit of conversation that I heard, and yet it set mo a thinking. Tho man with a flower-pot in his arm was a rough?no," 1 shall not say "rough"? ho was a sturdy son of toil, and I was ! j i i i\ i i l : ; aiuincu to iium lci vuni uiir?siiig , on tlio flowers. His acquaintance, { who had expressed surprise at anolh- | er flower in Tom's possession, had pulled a short pipo out of his mouth when ho spoke; and no doubt his love of tobacco cost him much more than Tom's love of flowers. Then as to tho gain. The smoker would gain a dry, hot mouth, a foul breath, yellow teeth, sallow skin, dull eyes, drowsiness and headache?that's what his pipe would do for him, even if he did not drink. But Tom with tho I flower would refresh its eyes with its bloom, and his smell with its sweetness, and lie would adorn I.is window with its beauty, and gladden bis wife j and his children by bringing them such a pretty gift. "What innoeent delight would they all feel in looking at it! And inoro than that, they would learn something from the flower. It would tell them of the wisdom and love of God ; how He sent theso beautiful flowers into tho world to please the eye of man : "To enmfort man. to whisper hope, Whene'er liis faith grows dim, For who bo eaietli for the flowers V?'ill much more care for him," I think flowers teach neatness and order. The wifu and children like to have a clean room, so that the flower in its purity and grace, may not shame them. And then, too, a poor ! man likes to feel that he has an ornament in his dwelling similar to that wbic,i a rich man chooses as the best embellishment of his drawing-room. The eottaire and the mansion differ very much in structure ami in furniture; not 0110 article of furnituro > majr all resemble the other, but a pretty flower, carefully watered and tended, often blooms ns'well in a cottage as in a palace wiudow. I know a little bit of a cottago outi side a town. It stands in a nook i by the roadside, and has no view but . that of a yard where carts are kept; but in tho window of that humble ! dwelling there are some fuchsias. , They make a pretty screen, that , j shuts out all ugly sights, and shuts ! :..i ? j i. , P..I -i . i iniu Luc ruuiu graci'iui urooping . blooms, bunging like jewels among i the green leaves. The floor of tho ; cot is of r*.d brick, and eo are the i steps outside tho door; but I notice i as I pass how clean are those bricks, . and what a glow of neatness and comj fort they present! And tho wooden > chairs are bright and so are the brass r candlesticks over tho mantel-shelf i That clear window, with its lovely , clustering flowers, at whieh people t look as they go by, has given the i dwellers in that cottage an honest r pride in their dwelling; the flowers have brought their own purity witli i them, and taught it to their owners And when little Johnny and Marj a learn to tako care of flowers, ant r have one of their own given them - I think they ecaso to bo dcstructiv< } and careless. They know that rougl - handling or neglect will injnro anc - kill their flower; bo their hands learr f gentleness of touch, and they gro^ s wrtchful over their favorite. Onc< cl conquer tho thoughtlessness ant a roughness of a girl or boy, by givini i) them something to ttko caro of ant s tattend to, and you have put them ii r tho way of being dilligeot and use d ful. I remember one evening mooting, ii 6 tho llarrow road, a woman whom 0 knew. She had her baby in hor arm 0 and a big bundle besido, and she wa r- hurrying on so fast that I said, wit '? some concern, as I passed her, "Mri a- Gibbs, is anything the matter thatyo >r are la each haste ?" sr "Nothing, please j but Tm bavin re the front of our boose painted dowi a? and I fbrgot to tell the man not t ct hurfc our bit of ivy," *** Of course 1 did tio '<lc{a& her h 'f any" furtHor remark; bat two da} , afterwards I walked past her boas >n and looked with some interest at tl Is, renovated front: and there was tl b- tendril of ivy safe, and Mrs. Gibl be wna nlunnin^hAr *??W / r? the sill o# whlchw?* bo*- at ml >&s nonette.-u3d the wtrtifinsti 4id % >#' r wdd.; hS bf?h[ * *" love should bo?clinging and unfading it was to them both a teacher and a memorial. And so, when a husband or father brings home a litllo plant, if it is but a halfpenny daisy-root, bo careful of it. His hand, that so tenderly carried the little flower, will havo a tender touch for the human flowers in his dwellinsr. llis eve. that sees fools tho beauty of (iod's silent work, will bo sure to dwell lovingly on the little prattlers that climb his lcnce. Ho will bo careful and kind; for none but the careful and gentle can have a great love for flowers. Happy is the wifo who helps husband in his lovo of flowers, and who hears with a joyful heart her children say, as the}' look out on a summer's night for their fathers return: "Here he comes, mother! and, oh dear, he has such a nice flower, such a beauty, in his arms 1 Do eomo.and sco mother!" Yes, this is the greeting; these are the innocent joys that may be had in the British workman's home, and of which the flowers are tho silent but sweet teachers.?British Workman. Marriage After a Thirty-Three Years Engagement. On Sunday last Miss Matilda Griffith, who has long been a respected resident of Greenville, and Mr. .John Grant, of Ireland, were married at the residence of tho former by Rev. I!. T. Riiist. D. 7). Tin"! f-Irpmivilli' (S. C.) Enterprise says : Tlie incident is a pleasing one; a romantic history attaches. Thirtythreo years have fled since the parties became engaged, nor have the}' seen each other in that time, and during a | long portion of it were ignorant of ; each other's whereabouts. They were both attached, when mere children, in their native Ireland ; hilt when the engagement became known, the families of both were opposed to it from opposito religious views, and I Knf nf At i v;.a f r nnn t f n onn<l 1 ?nr " * ^ vv UVI1V4 ,,v*| against her will, to the United States. Mr. G., all disconsolate, enlisted in the British army, not being aware at first whither tho lady had gono. His career as a soldier continued twentysix years ; in tho meanwhile he fought through the terrible Sepoy rebe'lion in India, making as many hair-breadtli cscapcs "in tho imminent deadly breaches" as Othello. lie returned to England some threo or four yean ago, and, having in the meantime hail some correspondence with tho lady by letter?for liia dovotion nevei faltered?sailed for this country.

How it Feels?The Experience of an Old Salt who has been "Through the Mill." The rccont sad accident of tlio Austrian frigate Radelsky has sharpened f nT ?ui fil/1 T^i nn \rlm Imrl on board the Danish ship of the line Christian VIII., on the fifth of April, 1849, when she exploded. Fortunately, lie was not killed, and l>a3 just given in the Vienna Press, in all earnestness, his experience and sensation at the time. The old sailors imagination seems to he one of tlie best: In the firtl moment, he says, hearing and seeing both went away, though both came bac-k very soon and 1 comprehended the whole affair. Lieutenant Frus had sprung the ship in the air. I constantly went hither. Not far from me I saw our lorcmast nymg around mc in a very dangerous manner. Above mo everv thing was concealed in tho thick powder smoke, winch shut out the sun; but below me the laud lay spread out before 1113* dizzy sight in the variegated beaut}' of spring. The Baltic glistened like silver in the fresh breeze but of the glorious battlo ship there was nothing left but a Hazing crater, and upon the frigate Gewion floated the faj of the enemy. O, my poor Denmark, how much hast thou lost? I calculated ? this is a remarkable physiological fact?whilo i I was flying in the air the loss at one and a half million rigsdalersl In the meantime my movement upward became slower from second to second, and at last it appeared asifl was suspended perfectly still for a moment in the ether. An indcsei ibable feeling of comfort permeated my breast, and confidence in the futux*e of my dearly loved fatherland entered my soul! 'i But this did not last long. 1 sank slowly again to the earth, and the foremast of all the other wreck around sank with mo. Only a monster cloud of powder smoko rcmainod in the air. Altogether different was 1113' frame of mind as I approached the earth, with a rapidity of fifteen feet in the second. In ascending I did not feel at all , unhappy, but in descending on the 1 contrary, I experienced" an oppres. sive fearfulncss which i6 hardly des; cribablo. I now saw before my 03-0 1 death, upon which I never oncc 1 ' thought; the period of my childhood - sprang fresh in memory j I thought I of my mother and my sweethearts, j and with closed eyes, in maddened I speed, came down headforemost. The clear pure water was beaten in r to a spray as 1 drovo down like n 3 bomb. I sank slowly, but deeper > even deeper. Underneath, there I prevailed a greenish twilight. Fi s nally I reached the "dead point," and - it appeared as if I was again raisec 3 up by the water. My breath wa* - almost exhausted ; yet I exerted nij . lungs to the utmost, and was at lat-1 - rewarded with life. Even quicker I i ascended, and at last I came out ir a the air like a cork.

Shields, monograms of tho royal family, and bass-reliefs of agricultural designs, representing tho seasons, completed the ornamentation of this exquisite dairy. All around tho walls rau a inaiblo table, and through tho centre two long ones supported by marble posts, vesting on basins, through which runs a perpetual stream of pure spring-water.
