* m pj w r- I, , n " impi+pmm BOTANICAL. From the Gleanings of Husbandry. WILD FLOWERS. BY A LADY. Of all the natural sciences, botany has received the least general attention; although its materials where exist, and beautify the sterroffoad side, as well as the more retired paths of greenwood and dale. And when called abroad for .exercise, by the soft* gentle wail of the west wind, and the clear, blue heaven* above, (for who has not felt the soul-pervading influence of the blue sky) another element of enjoyment, not less . attractive, is always at hand. A beautiful tree, graceful in all its proportions T-the softest breeze, undulating usueep green garniture, which never wearies tneeye, is one of the noblest objects in nature; and when stripped of its foilage, as trees are in New England, for nearly half the year, of course much of their individuality is lost, yet there is a majesty about them?a desolation of grandeur, which cannot fail to inspire a reverence for the Author of every change. But Spring is the peculiar season in which the vegetable world displays most of its attractions. The early wild flowers of this genial latitude, are remarkably beautiful, and deserve a place in the most cultivated pastures. The yellow jassamine (gelseminum, sempervirens,) when transplanted, improves in fragrance and luxuriance, and w one of the most beautiful vines in the world. There are many specie? of the Bignonia, and other flowering vines.? Among indigeneous-shrubs, are to be found many species of Azallea,?one a that mav vie in beauty Ul IdLIM. OVMi IVVf , w with many exotics of tne same genus, exhibited in* our Northern Conservatories. * .The fringe tree (chionanthus,) is more generally known, perhaps than the styrax, which, when in bloom resembles the orange tree?a monopetalous white corrolia, very sweet and ornamental. The ACsculus Macrostachja or dwarf horse j chesnut, is*found on the'banks of the Savannah, in elevated situations?has a j long spike of delicate white flowers, and very rich foliage. It is from ten to twenty feet in height, and well merits the attention of the florist. The expense and labour of cultivating flowers in less fertile regio'ns is here obviated by the I>eauty and luxuriance of indigenous plants, tvhich should And a place in every spot of ground unoccupied within our limits, arid not suffer them "to waste their fragrance on the desert air." Botany should be the favorite science of every intelligent woman. It is more within her reach, than any other science and better adapted to herpbysical capacities, than Geology or Chemistry; requiring less use of the spade than the former, and less apparatus in making experiments, than the latter. And if it does not furnish her mind with results as brilliant, it will give a tone of dignity and elevation to her character, that wijl happily aid her in the discharge of the high and varied duties of life. To use the language of the gifted writer, "no science is more distinguished than botany for the enlargement and permanence of its general views, for the sweetness and accuracy of its reasonings, for the sure and cautious deductions on which its grand principles are established, for the demonstrations of the harmony and contrivance with which the organic world is ordered, and especially, ^ for a spirit of patient and profound philosophy which alone can confer upon a -science, real dignity and value." To obtain a rank among the most distinguished botanists of the present day, demands not only long and laborious investigation, but the exercise of talents that belong to the highest order of mind ; for the relations to be discovered, and the principles to be deduced, must'be the result of profound and untiring reflection. But it is not for purposes of distinction, that woman acquaints herself with any science. Neither is it from ostentatious motives, that she employs- her few leisure moments in the pursuit of literary or scientific attainments. Her opportunities are too limited, to aftftrd the hope of enlightening the world, even if her ambition became so expansive.? But it is the part of Wisdom, to seek some mental condiment, to prevent the starvation of mind. Should destiny place her where intellectual society is (ess cultivated, even, than?wild flowers, ?it is to furnish herself with resources* in the absence of congenial minds, and to enable her to instruct her children, and inspire them with a taste for useful pursuits, that she should form habits of mental Research and industry. There is no science so unpopular among vulgar minds, as that of botany; and even, among the more refined, and well informed on other subjects, none so appreciated. Its most unfortunate phases have generally been presented to public view, and hard names, and ah unmeaning nomenclature to the uninitiated have been obstacles of no smalL magnitude, and unluckily*mystified one of the most regularl? developed sciences in the<4pjprld. The artificial system of Linnseus cannot be examined and understood, without marvel and admiration at a discovery so important ; for we 1 must know the name ot a plant, before we can make any references, in order to ascertain its properties and uses. Let any one establish the practice of analy- i zing flowers, the vocabulary will soon I become familiar by the use of living illustrations, ?nd by observing the minutiae of leaves, stems, and flowers, new varieties and beauties will be constantly I unfolding themselves, and the affinities < and differences of their organic structure I will suggest the soul-stiring exclamation < "The hand that made thein is divine." j j Augusta, May 4, 1940. i aiXSOBLLA.NSOtJ'B, REMARKABLE ANECDOTE. The particulars of the following very striking incident were lately told us by a friend, as a fact fulling within the range of his personal knowledge! and having the * - i- i. most perfect confidence in his veracity, we scruple not to give it as such to our read* ers. In a seaport town on west coast of Englund, some years ago, there was notice giv. en of a sermon to be preached on Sunday evening, in a dissenting chapel there. The preacher was a man of celebrity great in bis calling, and that circumstance, together the pious object of the discourse?to enforce the duty of strict . observation of tbe Sabbath?attracted an overflowing audience. After the usual perfactory prayer und hymn of praise, the preacher gave out the text, and was about to proceftd, when he suddenly paused, leaned his head on the pulpit, ondVemained silent for a few moments. It was imagined yiat he had become indisposed, but he soon recovered himself; and addressing the congregation, said, that before entering on his discourse, he begged to narrate to them a short anec dote. "It is now exactly fifteen years, said he, "since 1 was last within this place of worship; and the occasion was, as many here may remember, the very same as thai which has now brought us together.? Among those that came hither that evening were three young men, who came rtol only with the intent of insulting and mocking'the venerable pastor, but -even with stones in their pockets to throw at him 81 he stood in his pulpit. Accofdinglyi thdy "had not listened long to the discourse, when one of them said impatiently, 'vmy need we listen any longer to the blockhead??throw! but the second stopped him, saying, let ut first see what he makes of this point,'? Tne curiosity of the latter was no soonei sutisfied, than he cried, *ay, confouncTHim it is only as I expected1?throw now !'?But here the third interposed, and said it would be better altogether to give up thf design which- brought them there. At this remark his two associates took offence, arid left the church, while he remained to the end. Now, mark, my brethren," continued the preacher wiih much emotion, "what were afterwards the several fates of these young men. The first'was *hqiged man) years ago at Tyburn, for the criyte of forgery; the second is now lyin^.ider sentence of death for murder in the jail in this city. The third, my brethren"?and the speaker's agitation became excessive, whilt he paused an 1 wiped the large drops from his brow?"the third, my bretheren, is he who is about to address you?listen tc hiin."?The Watch Tower. THE DIFFERENCE. . John nnd James we're brothers?the lasi about^sixteen, and the first eighteen yeari when the subject of intemperance was firs presented in the place where they lived.? This was in 1827. They had just lost their father, who was a respectable sma 1 farmer, and they were the only remaining children of their widowed mother. Jolir joined the temperance society nt the firsi meeting ho attended, and was soon indented un apprentice. Liquor was daily brought into the shop, and the owner with his journeymen and other, apprentices, usually drank of it. More than half ol ih' se have become drunkards, and six ol i ci_ , tiiem nil disMonoreu graves, no wno was the owner of the shop, and a thriving, re. spectabltj mechanic, is now a poor internperate journeyman to his former apprentice John C When the youth was urged by his mastei arid shopmates, to panicipate in the intox. iciiting beverage with them, he usuallj replied, "it will do me no good% and may bi the means of making me a drunkard, j jean not break my pledge." In less than two years, John had bstaolished a charactei for industry, truth and honesty, which made him respected by his master and ail hit companions, while the customers were anx. ions to have their work superintended, i not done by him. He served out his ap, prenticeship, when he was mnde foreman of the shop, in which capacity his good character and correct temperate habits were the principal means of continuing fht patronage of the- Public. "Temporal thinking" hud led the owner and most o the workmen step by, step, unptfceived by Miemselves to drunkenness, with its usua attendants, idleness, profanity, falsehood sabbath-breaking, nnd gross dishonesty. Aft? r two years of many triads, and an increased good character, John was made President of the "Yuung Men's Temper anee Society"?about that time also, ht commenced business for himself. He could select his customers, for his reputa tion ns a mechanic and a man, drew many 10 his shop. Ho took his mother to h'i house, as soon as ho had one, and is the solace and comfort of her declining years. He is at the head of a large and respectuble establishment; .beloved and honoured in his neighborhood ; has furnished a large library for the Sunday School, and has been its superintendent for the last two years. When asked by his old master or any others how he came to be so lucky 1" he replies, **it is not Muck,* but it was t|ie res. olulion my Heavenly Father enabled me to make and keep, that intoxicating liquors will do me no good, and may be ike means of my becoming a drunkard." Now see the difference. The hiVory of his younger brother is a brief and sad one. He always refused to unite with a temper, nnce society ; said he*cou!d take care ol himself ; knew when he had enough, and would never be a drunkard, and that he would not sign away his liberty. Me too, was an apprentice, had "difficulty" with his master, and left him. Another "difficulty" caused him to leave the second and Ivrd places. At twenty-one he was a irunkard ; in two years more he was a sot. One cold night latt winter, he pawned lis poor coat for a p:nt of rum to a rum I ~ * ggg?anww^wM?mmmaaamm seller, a "rtiembfer In good standing*' in a Presbyterian church. Hfe drank more than half of it immediately. . He was turned out of the bar.room, and next morning, about half a mile dislunt was found a siifc fened corpse, silting by a fence in the road, and his bottle nearly empty by him' Young reader, see the differtlice ! and most of all see what led to the difference* We kindly ask you, what course you will pursue respecting intoxicaung drinks and temper, nnce societies?
