FLOWERS TEAT NEYER WITHER. There are flowers that never wither, There are skies that never fade, There are trees that cast forever Cooling bowers of leafy shade. There are silver wavelets "flowing With a lulling sound of rest, Where the west wind, softly blowing, Fans the fair lands of the blest. Thitherward our steps are tending, Oft through dim, oppressive fears, More of grief than pleasure blending In the darkening woof of years. Often would our footsteps weary Sink upon the winding way, But that, when all looks most dreary, O'er us beams a cheering ray. Thus the Father who hath made us Tenants of this world of care, Knoweth how to kindly aid us With the burdens we must bear; Knoweth how to cause the spirit Hopefully to raise its eyes Toward the homo it doth inherit, Far behind the azure skies. There is a voice that whispers lowly Down within this heart of mine, Where emotions the most holy Ever make their sacred shrine, And it tells a thrilling story Of the great Redeemer's love, And the all bewildering glory Of the better land above. Oh, this life, with all its sorrows, Hasteth onward to a close! In a few more brief to-morrows, WiU have ended all our woes. Then o'er death the part immortal Shall sublimely rise and soar O'er the star resplendent portal, There to dwell forevennore. Popping the Question with a Cold lln the Head. They had been keeping company a Jear. He told her Friday afternoon that e would be up early Sunday evening, as he had something of great importance to tell her, and a present to give her. With a woman's keen intuition she knew what the something of importance would be, and she looked forward to the hoar with sweet expectation. He was there on time, but hard!y in the condition he de? sired. A heavy cold had tackled him the night before, and his eyes were red and inflamed, and his nose was nearly twice its natural size, and shone with a lustre that would have appeared to much better advantage on a door plate. Sin? gularly enough, the young lady was sim? ilarly conditioned. She ushered him into the parlor, and without any prelimi? nary ceremony they were on the sofa to? gether. He took out his handkerchief, and, finding a dry section, wiped his nose. This reminded her of a duty she owed herself, and she attended to it at once. He held ono of her hands in one of his, and his handkerchief is the other. Then he spoke: "Susad, I oub to nide to dalk to you of Bubdig deaftr?ah-ah-ooh (a prompt ap? plication of the handkerchief cut off the sneeze in its bud) dearer do be thad libe ?ah-ah?thad id?oo-ooh-ker chew, ker chew, ker chew." A moment's pause. "I'be god ad awvul code," he explains, with due solemnity. "Sobe I," she sympathizing^ replies. A moment is devoted to the silent use of the handkerchiefs, and then he con? tinues: "Darlig, you must hab seed all de- tibe how mudge?ooh-ooh-ker?(the hand? kerchief again saves him) how mudge I hab thougnd ob you. Ebry hour ob de day or nide?ah-ah-ooh-oon-ch-ch?chew, kbb chew, KER CHEW 1 Thid id aw? vul," he protested, walking around the room, for the final explosion had raised him to his feet. She wiped her eyes and then her nose, and made an honest en? deavor to look languishing, but, owing to the watery condition of the former, and the fiery glow of the latter, she ap? peared to an unhappy advantage. But he did not notice it. He felt of his pro? boscis tenderly for a moment, and then returned to her side. "Darlig. I cad no lodger lib widoud you. Widoud you libe would indeed be a widderness; wid?" She impulsively raised her hand. "Ker-ker ker chew!" she shouted. He paused and gazed tenderly out of his inflamed eyes upon her convulsed features. "Darlig," be softly continued, seeing she was through, "you cad neber know how mudge?ah-ooh-ooh-ah-ker chew, ker?wish?sh-sh-er-rer, ker chew?ooh my! 0 dear!" he wailed, impetuously grabbing for his handkerchief, while the tears ran down his cheeks. She took advantage of the lull to unob? trusively apply her handkerchief. "Susad, he began again, grasping her hand with fervor, and clutch nig his hand? kerchief with equal earnestness, "whad id libe widoud lub ? Noddig. Darlig, do yoo, cad yoo lub be enough do be by? ah-ah-ooh-ker chew! Heavigs, thid id awvul!" He mopped the perspiration from his troubled countenance, and then waited until she re-appeared from behind her handkerchief, when he resumed: "I ask agaid, darlig, cad yoo lub be enough to be my wibe ?" The young girl dropped her head upon his breast, put her arm around his neck, and was just about to speak the glad an? swer, when a sudden spasm shook her frame, and she went off into a series of sneezes which fairly endangered the safe? ty of her fair neck. "O, by lub I 0, by brecious!" he sym? pathizingiy exclaimed. "Speak ; 0, speak?aho?h-ooh-ker chew, ker chew, ker chew!" he roared. She fell into his arms again, perfectly exhausted. "You'll be bide, all bide," he gasped. "1 will, Henry, I will," she hoarsely whispered. He drew her to him with all his strength, slipped the ring upon her trem? bling finger; and there they stood to? gether, their reddened and half-closed eyes blinking in sweet, holy ecstacy upon each other, while their exhausted nostrils shone with a dim refulgence. "My poor darlig has god sudge a bad code." he sympathizingiy murmured. "So id my Hedry," she softly whis? pered back. "I dode gare for myseld. I?" he sud? denly put her away, recovered his hand kerchief, and instantly went off in a par? oxysm of sneezes. "0," he sighed, as he gained a perpen? dicular again, and mopped off his face, which was now almost purple in hue. "Yon must take sub medicid for that code, donide," she said. "Both ob us," he added. "Yes, a'd you'll zoak your feed in hod wader?" "I will; a'd you'll zoak yours?" he eagerly asked. "I will," she solemnly replied. "Heavig bless you, my darlig, my brecious aarlig," he murmurmed, clasp? ing her again to his breast. And then he stole out into the darkness; and she lingered a moment at the door, and heard his dear voice ring out on the night air as he passed away: "Ker chew, ker chew, ker c-h-e-w."?

The appointment of a committee by the House of Representatives on Friday to look after the timber thieves on the lands reserved by the Government for naval purposes has caused a great deal of uneasiness in certain quarters here, as it no doubt has by this time at various points in Florida, Alabama, and the other States in which these lands are located; and if the committee discharge their duty fearlessly, a system of* robbery equal to anything yet developed under the pres? ent Administration will be brought to light The act of Congress by which these lands were reserved/or Government pur? poses was passed in 1831, and provides for the punishment of offenders who cut, destroy, or remove live oak or other tim? ber. This law, however, has been a dead letter so far as the provision relating to timber thieves is concerned, although ev? idence of robbery and the names of the culprits have repeatedly been furnished the Government." These naval reserved lands are located in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Missisippi, Louisiana, and Texas, and were selected by commissioners appointed at different times for that purpose. They are covered with the finest quality of red cedar, yel? low pine, and live oak to be fonnd in the country, and were selected for this very reason. The largest of these reservations are located in Florida, and in consequence of the facility with which timber can be shipped from the Gulf coast and the neg? lect of government officials, or else their complicity with the rascals, the depra dations there are by far the most exten? sive. In Volusia county, near Mosquito Inlet, at Silver Spring, on the Hillsboro, Suwanee and Withalcootchie rivers, on Pease creek, and St. Andrews, Chocta watchie, Santa Rosa, Escambia, East, and Peruido bays, are reservations of the' finest timber to be found in the South, which is rapidly disappearing under the lawless axe of the timber thieves. The depredators confine their largest operations to the valuable red cedar trees in the Gulf sections, and it is estimated that the quantity stolen in a single year, if cut ana sold by the Government, would (>ay for the expense of caring for these ands for many years. Large quantities of this wood are sold to the different pen? cil manufacturers in this country, while thousands of feet are annually exported to Germany, France, and England, as these establishments have agents at regu? lar points on the coast, who are ready to purchase from any seller. The yellow woods on the reservations are rendered worthless by the turpentine gatherers, who box the pine trees for the sap, continuing the process until the trees are often scarified to a height of fifteen feet, drawing all the life out of them. Depredations are also carried on over the Government lands open to settlement The robbers hire negroes, at good wages, use them to locate homesteads upon pine timbered land, they paying the necessary fees at the Land Office, and then, under pretence of improvement cut down the trees for lumber, or box tnem for turpen? tine, or both. After one locality is ex? hausted a new place is selected, generally on some heavily timbered stream, whence transportation to the mill is easy and entries arc made under new names. The lands reserved for naval purposes and known as "naval reserved timber lands," are under the charge of the Navy Department, the Bureau of Construction and Repair having special supervision. Those along the Gulf coast are supposed to be looked after by the naval construc? tor on duty at the Pensacola Navy Yard, but they get no attention whatever from him. The agents who are paid to look out for these lands are charged with being in league with the thieves, and from the fact that the business of carrying off the timber is carried on with impunity it is pretty good evidence that the charge is not groundless. Some three years ago one agent who was too honest to allow himself to be used by the rascals made a thorough inspection of the reservations, and found large quantities of timber cut ready for shipment, full reports of which, with the names of the depredators, were 1 sent to the Navy Department, as may be seen by reference to the records. Noth- j ing, however, was done about it, and the thieves were not only encouraged in their J nefarious business, but they finally suc? ceeded in having the honest agent re? moved. Cant. J. C. Trebiger, TJ. S. N., was detailed by the Navy Department to ex? amine these lands, and he made an ex? haustive and thorough report after com? pleting his labors, recommending the abandonme"t by the Favy department of the worthless and the appointment of competent and honest agents to take care of the most valuable of these lands, but no heed was paid to his recommenda? tion. An agent located at Pensacola was at one time removed for himself being en? gaged in plundering the Government of this timber. A salary of $1,200 per an? num, a house, aH the land he desired to cultivate, orange grove, and boat and boatment to attend him, were not enough to minister to his pleasures, so he decided to have a yacht, and in a very short time his friends were invited to sail in the Lit? tle Silas, which was constructed of Gov? ernment timber and materials from the nat/ yard, and afterward used for carry? ing stolen timber from various points to Pensacola for sale and shipment. For the pa3t two years tne Navy De !>artment have appointed as agents to ook after these lands a number of igno? rant negroes, most of whom can scarcely read or write, and not one of whom could find a surveyor's mark in the woods to locate a section, range, or township; and if one of them did succeed in overhaul? ing tresspas8ers he would not dare arrest or prosecute them. These worthy represen? tatives of Secor Robeson receive from $500 to $1,000 per annum, and do noth? ing but protect the thieves.?N. Y. Sun._ The Ass and the Horse Identical. ?The following extract is from the charge to a jury by judge Guild of Ten? nessee: "Our Supreme Court has very properly adjudged that the exemption laws made in behalf of poor persons shall be liber? ally construed and enforced; for in? stance, a horse and yoke of oxen, cart and two-horse wagon are exempt by the words of the statute. Our Supreme Court, Chief Justice Nicholson deliver? ing the opinion, have solemnly adjudged that an ass is a horse and a horse is an ass belonging to the same species. While Judge Nicholson is good authority in the law, he is equally distinguished as a horse and assolgist; and hereafter an ass must be regarded as a horse and a horse as an ass. It is known that in the early days of Judea the ass was the animal princi? pally in use, either for riding or draught; yet history leaves us in doubt whether the ass is the progenitor of the horse, or the horse the progenitor of the ass.? While it is a mooted question whether they germinated from the same root, yet amid the darkness we have the light of our Chief Justice that they are of the same species. In view of the liberal con? struction given by our Supreme Court, I have decided that a buck-wagon comes within the species of wagon exempt, and the parties have acquiesced in that decis? ion. Now the poor man and family may sleep in their own cabin, drive their own ass, ride in their own buck-wagon, repose under their own gourd-vine and peach tree, and there is no one to make them afraid.'^__ ? A man in Virginia goes to school to his wife. It's needless to say that he catches more lickings than any other boy in school. Here a Little and There a Little. The habit of reading something every day has been enjoined by the best wri? ters, both as a means of acquiring a fund of information and for cultivating the at? tention and the memory. A recent wri? ter records the case of a friend who in? dulged in wonderful illusions about read? ing ; he collected several thousand vol? umes, all fine editions, but died without having cut the leaves. He was waiting for the time when he should have nothing to do but to go through his library.? That time never came to him, and comes but to a few in this busy world ; and even were there the opportunity, unless the habit of regular reading had been formed, the inclination will still be want? ing. Culture is not to be acquired in a day. It cannot be learned by a four years' course at college ; it is the work of a lifetime. Nor is it to be found alone, or in high perfection, between the covers of a book. It embraces humanity as well; and a true knowledge of human nature can only be acquired by associa? tion with men. Still the record of the experinces and the wisdom of the past ages lies in books. The spoken word may be forgotten. Demosthenes no lon? ger waves the stormy Democracy into a calm, nor does Plato enchain the souls of his disciples under a plane-tree; and the men of Rome no longer listen to the ve? hement, passionate words of a Cicero. To come down to later days, Burke's fierce utterances have ceased to ring through Parliament; Patrick Henry's fiery eloquence is hushed, and the Senate halls no longer echo the voice of the great New England Statesman. "The bows of eloquence are buried with the archers." The splendid declamation of Bolingbroke is vanished, like his own image, from the grass plots of Twicken? ham, and the eloquence of Clay passed away with his dying breath at Ashland. The names of the some-time great who have passed into oblivion are, as to those who are inscribed upon the temple of fame, a- a corpora 's guard w to a grand army, or as the living world of to-day is to the countless millions of past ages whose bodies have fertilized the soil of every country under the heaven. A memory handed down from one age to another becomes but effete tradition; it is only when thought is seized upon, and imperishably recorded upon the printed page, that it becomes effective to influ? ence the world long after the mind that conceived it has passed away. In this way Euripides is made to do duty as the pioneer of modern science; Milton bor? rows from Ovid,; Taylor catche? from Chrysostom. The schools of Athens are closed, but Plato re-appears in the pul? pit. Sir Robert Walnole was one of the busiest and most intellectual men of bis or any other age; yet, in his "Life," just published, his biographer .tells u: that, once seeing Fox reading in the library of Hough too, Sir Robert said, "You can read. It is a great happiness. I totally neglected it while I was in business, which has been the whole of my li fe, and to such a degree that I cannot now read a page?a warning to all ministers."? But the warning is not to be limited to those high in political life. It concerns equally the humblest man, whoever he may be or whatever may be his calling, so that he have a realizing sense of his own insufficiencies and of the ove -shad? owing importance of time. And so, to the clergy and layman, to the professional man and the thoughtful man or woman, of whatever vocation or situation in life, t he lesson of to-day comes?read, read regularly, understand? ing^. Leave to those whose ignorance is their bliss ; leave to the "spoiled chil? dren of fashion," who must needs devote their precious hour.- and their highest mental powers to the clothing of their perishing bodies?for, alas! they have nothing else to clothe?to these poorest of earth's children the empty plea that they have no time. But for yourself? make time. Whether it be the half-hour which you steal from your bed; whether it be the few minutes while dinner is waiting; whether ycu can catch but a few passing moments when the day's work is done?still seize these and read something. Man is not naturally lazy. God, who has not giveu the lowest of his creatures one superfluous organ, has not given man a single faculty which 1 e did not bestow that it might be used to his glory. And you employ it in this way when you not only give it.the right direction, but the fullest possible devel? opement as well.? Christian at Work. A Colored Delegate's Speech in the Virginia Leit?Blature.?In the debate this morning in the Legislature on the Centennial appropriation, Peter J.

I begin to be? lieve in humbugging people out of their money. It is neither stealing nor beg fing, and those who arc humbugged ave themselves to blame. I begin to believe that a man was not made to en? joy life, but to keep himself miserable in the pursuit and possession of riches. I begin to believe that the surest remedy for hard times and a tight money mar? ket is an extravagant expenditure on the part of the individual?to keep money moving. I begin to believe that none but knaves are qualified to hold office under the Government, with the excep? tion of a few natural born fools and lu? natics. I begin to believe that a piano? forte is more necessary in a family than bread and meat. A T?uthf?l Sketch.?Let a man fail in business, what an effect it has on hin former creditor! Men who have taken him by the arm laughed and chatted with him by the hour,shrug their Should? ers and pass ou with a cold "how do you do ?" Every trifle of a bill is hunted up and presented that would not have seen the light for months to come, but for the misfortunes of the debtor. If it is paid, well and good; if not, the scowl of the sheriff, perhaps, meats him at the corner. A man that has never failed knows but little of human nature. la prosperity he sails along gently, wafted by favoring smiles and kind words from everybody. He prides himself ou bis name and spot,ess character, and makes his boast that he has not an ene? my in the world. Alas! the change.? He looks at the world in a different light when reverses come upon him. He hard? ly knows how to move or to do this thing or the other; there are spies about him, a writ is ready for his back. To know what kind of stuff the world is made of, a person must be unfortunate and stop paying once in his lifetime. If he has kind friends, then they are made mani? fest. A failure is a moral seive, it brings out the wheat ana shows the chaff. A man thus learns that words and pre? tended good will are not and do not con? stitute real friendship. What He Died Of.?We overheard once the folllowing dialogue between an alderman and an Irish shop-lifter. "What's gone of yer husband, wo? man?" "What's gone of him, yer honor? Faith and he's gone dead." "Ah ! pray, what did he die of?" "Die of yer honor ? He died of a Fri? day." "I don't mean what day of the week, but what complaint?" "0! what complaiiat yer honor? Faith, and it's himself that did not get to com? plain." "0, 01 ah?he died suddenly ?" "Bather that way, yer honor." "Did he fall in a fit?" No answer. "He fell in a fit, perhaps 1" "A fit, yer honor ? Why no not ex? actly that. He fell out of a window, or through the cellar door?I don't knot? | what they call it." -? 55 "Aye, aye, and his neck!"
