THE FLOWER AND DEW-DROP.
BY MARIE ROSEAU.
A Hoy drop of crystal dew
Pall from the sky above,
And lighting In a flow’ret’s cup
It nestled there in love.
“’Tie mine!” the joyous blossom cried —
“Of mine own.self a part!
Nor sun, nor cloud, nor wind, nor rain,
Shall force It from my heart!”
The morning mists were scattered wide
Beneath tbe sun’s warm ray;
And In the noonday’s burning glare
The dew-drop passed away.
A cry of sorrow rent the air—
The walling for the dead;
The anguish of a stricken heart
That weeps Its idol fled.
But hark! there sounds a gentle voice,
Like some Eolian strain:
It speaks to sooth the mourner’s grief,
And bid her hope again.
“It is not dead—that little gem—
The object of thy* love t
The sunbeam on glad wings of light
Hath carried it above! ”
The flow’ret raised her drooping head,
As grateful for relief:
She listened to the cheering voice,
And stilled her selfish grief.
There are who mourn a treasure lost—
A jewel rich and rare,
With which that brilliant drop of dew
’ Twere folly to compare. .
To such this word of hope Is given,
“Your loved ene did not die,
But on some kindly angel’s wing
’Twas carried up on high.
And now In rays of purest light
. That little sparkling gem
Shines like a glorious star within,
The Saviour’s diadem.”
Philadelphia, April 16th, 1860.
.THE INVITATION.
Come, sweet Spring, O, come,
To thy woodland home,
- Where the lonely flower sleeps
In the germ that Winter keeps,
Snug in the ground,
WhiTe the saow he wildly heaps
All around.
Come, sweet Spring, release,
Now thy efforts ease,
Till upon the blooming land,
Fresh from out the frost’s cold hand,
All shall tell of thee;—
Clad in robes of thine shall stand,
In beauty free.
Come, sweet spring, ne’er stay,
Why, 0, why, delay!
While the songster gently calls.
Perched upon the same old walls,
Whence one Autumn day,'
As the coming' frost appalls,
He flew away.
Come, sweet spring, draw near,
And the weary cheer,
O’er whose cheek a pallor sits,
O’er whose days a sorrow flits,
Ever hov’ring by;—
Thine to smooth the. brow that knits
With pain e’er nigh.
Come, sweet Spring, O, haste,
Make the wintry waste
Smile beneath the fresh-blown breath,
Over forpst, over heath,
Making*gladsome, gay;
Sing the song of Winter’s death,
Sing, nor stay.
A VISIT TO WESTMINSTER ABBEY.
A LETTER TO A CIIILD.
Yesterday we visited Westminster Abbey,
The Abbey was completed by Sir Christopber
Wren, but commenced long before his time. The
stone Was originally of a light buff color, but the
atmosphere and smoke of the city have so affected
it that it has become very gray—almost black.
I Would like to take you into the centre of this
building, and watch for a moment to see how you
would open your eyes, and almost hold your breath,
as you gazed at the lofty arches and vaulted roof,
so high that you seem almost to he looking into
the sky.
Have you never, when walking through a forest
in' the noon of a summer’s day, as you gazed at
the grand monarchs of the wood, stretching their
giant limbs toward the sky, and listened to the
suppressed murmurs of thousands of insects and
ofairping of birds, now resting from their morning
carol, felt a strange awe creeping over you, as
t&oUgh you must tread lightly where God in his
works was so distinctly seen and heard? Even
so I felt on gazing at Westminster Abbey. All
around me lay the dust of the mighty dead; —
kings, noblemen, bishops, poets, artists, philoso
phers, and statesmen. Their names and deeds
are recorded on suitable tablets or elaborately
carved monuments, with all manner of devices.
Here you read of a king who departed-this life
A,' D.lOOO, then of a queen who died in a. d.
1200, an archbishop A. D. 1300—then a long list
of royal personages who figured largely in the six
teenth and seventeenth centuries—names familiar
to ns all in history; the eruel Henry VIII.; the
unfortunate Queen of Soots, slumbering by her
rival, Elizabeth of England, and by her side, also,
her sister Mary, and the young King Edward VI.,
who died at the age of sixteen.
Then, in another part of the building, are the
names of Handel, Johnson, Newton, Garrick—
the poets, Milton, ShakspOare, Cowper, Young,
Goldsmith, Thomson, Chaucer, Southey—of
statesmen, Pitt, Pox, Canning, Grattan, Wilber
foroe, with a host of other names renowned for
military exploits. More recently the members of,
the loyal family have been buried at Windsor, but
the Abbey will probably long continue to be the
plaee of sepulture for many of England’s greatest
mpn, A. portion of the building is divided into
small chapels, set apart and decorated as family
toihbs. Some of these are very beautiful, parti
etilarly the one called Henry the Seventh’s.
In the Abbey, too, are deposited the chairs used
at the various coronations of all the kings and
qdeeos for many generations. As specimens of
handsome furniture, they would hardly bring the
firift prize at a London exhibition, but an antiqua
riih Would eagerly grasp at them, and no traveller
pass& them without inspection.
You Will recollect that' this has been the scene
of all the coronations. We gazed with interest at
the spot. Queen Victoria, then a maiden of only
nineteen summers, received from the highest ec
elesiastioal dignitary of the realm her Bymbol of
royalty, at once investing her fair young head with
a nation’s eares and honors. What a scene! We
tried, for a mdment, to imagine it. The different
memtors of the royal families, near or remotely
connected, on either hand,, the high dignitaries of
church' and state in their robes of office, the mili
tary,gus»rds, the noble band of peers and peeresses,
the erdurds of distinguished 1 persons in court cos
tume, all with eyes turned to the young, blooming j
girl, whom a nation stood ready to welcome as its
Queen 1
. Service is performed w the choir of the church
every afternoon. During this time strangers are
not permitted to walkabout, and must either'leave
or attend the service. We lingered for a time to
listen to notes of the organ as they reverberated
again and again through those lofty arches, and
then slowly walked away, querying whether a sight
of any of the world-renowned churches on the
continent could afford us as much pleasure as our
glimpse of time-honored Westminster Abbey.

I WE HAVE GOT A BABY AT OUR HOUSE.
The Boston Post is the author of a good story
of a bachelor friend:
Our friend was riding a day or two ago through
Athol, in this State, when he overtook a
and boy apparently on their way to school. The
little girl appeared to be five or six years old, and
was as beautiful as a fairy. Her eyes were lit up
with a gleam of intense happiness, and her cheeks
glowed with hues of health. Our bachelor looked
at her for a moment admiringly. She met his
glance with a smile, and with an eager voice sa
luted him with, “ Have yon got a baby?". He was
struck aback by the question, and something like
a.regret stole over his mind as he looked upon the
animated and beautiful little face before him.
“No," he answered. “Weil," she replied, draw
ing her tiny form proudly up, “we have,” and
passed on, still smiling, to tell the joyous news to
the next one she might meet. What a world of
happiness to her was concentrated in that one idea
—the baby! And in her joy she felt as if all
must have the same delight as herself; and it was
a matter of affectionate pride to her that lifted her
little heart above the reach of ordinary envy, for
in the baby was her world, and what else had she
to crave? Such was the reflection of our friend,
and he remembered it long enough to tell it yes
terday in State Street.
THE MEMORY- OF CHILDHOOD.
It is wonderful bow these simple, early memories,
which lie dormant during those fervid morning
hours when tbe soul is doing its forenoon work,
come gliding sofitly back as we lie in the noontide
shade j weTook backward past the hill of difficulty,
the giant’s cave, and all the rugged, broken path
to that beautiful meadow-land Of our childhood.
Yonder is ttfff roof that sheltered us—whether it be
a stately mansion or a one-story brown cottage,
weighs little in our afFections now—there is the or
chard on the hill-side —its favorite trees aU re
membered by name, the little brooklet, whose every
turn and eddy is daguerreotyped, here gurgling
noiselessly over its pebbles—there spreading it
self into a broad shallow, which once looked vast
and awful as tbe oceans —there are tbe stepping
stones which we crossed with balanced arms and
timid misgivings to the cowslip path on the other
side —those stepping-stones! how natural they lookl
How many little tender bare feet have rested trust
ingly thereon, and worn into them a sacred and
loving history!—Y onder are the rooks—-the great,
fearful, rugged rooks —the kind, hospitable, shel
tering rocks, under whose shoulders we have crept
in many a shower.
But dearer than orchard, and brooklet, the rock,
dearer than the cottage whose curling smoke still
and forevermore wreathes itself up toward tbe
clouds, are the forms of those we loved, father,
mother, brother, sister and neighbor. They are
all there, and they change not. But these are not
the same brothers and sisters that we call by that
name now, scattered up and down the earth,
divided in interests, but still infinitely dear to us
—these that we greet as wo He in the noontide
shade, are our own band of child faces, one /amity
unchangeable in feature and aspect, immortal in
love and youth. Land of our childhood! Beau
tiful land! Who tells us that there were thorns
in the hedge-rows and briers in the path-way?
We remember it not. We see only roses in the
hedgerows, and feel only the soft turf under our
feet. There are banks of violets for us and prim
roses ia the meadows. The forests have borne us
a harvest of nuts, and the peach trees invite us to
banquet upon them. Come, let us be joyful to
gether, for no one can ever rob us of this delight.
TEACH THE CHILD TO SING.
The Musical Review thus answers the question,
“At what age should children commence vocal
music ?"
A child should be trained to the tones of mu
sical sounds, as he is to words, from early infancy.
The mother and the father, the nurse,—all three
about him are and will be his first instructors,;and
if in their teachings they utterly neglect music,
much valuable time will be lost—time that can
never afterwards be wholly recovered. First, he
should he made to hear tones, either vocal or in--
strumental, or both. Very soon, even before he
can articulate words, he will begin to imitate them,
and will himself produce tones. Simple melodies,
chaste and beautiful, united to pure and appropri
ate words, should be constantly presented to his
car by the mother’s voice. Very soon the child
will learn to sing; it will be as it is often called,
singing by rote —the only way in which any one,
juvenile or adult, can first be taught. If the child
has been thus accustomed to hear singing in the
nursery till he is eight years old, he will .then sing
as readily and as accurately.as he speaks; we be
lieve more so. And now is the time to commence
learning to read music, as it is to learn to read
words. He is now quite as young as in ordinary
eases is expedient to acquire a knowledge of mu
sical signs of notation. But before this time, at
tention should be given to taste in respect to the
delivery of both words add tunes; that which is
called expression should receive careful attention
fromlthe first. But the child should be drained
under tbe guidance of common sense, to which it
will not be amiss to add a little physiological ex
perience. For example, the child should not sing
when fatigued, or immediately after eating; there
should be regular daily practice, but according to
tbe physical strength of the pupil. -
After the change of voice, which usually hap
pens at fifteen or sixteen years of age, is completed,
the vocal exercises. may gradually become more
difficult, more severe, more taxing, and with the
previous training, a year or so of vocal culture will
quite suffice for all the domestic and social pur
poses of song. Of course, more time than this will
be required, as well as talent, a fine voice, etc., to
make the professional vocalist.
One thing more; unless one has been taught to
use his voice .in singing freely as a child, he will
never, in all probability, ever acquire much control
over bis vocal organs. If one neglects learning to
talk till he is grown up, he will not then findit an
easy task.

CHILDREN’S CONFIDENCE.
The annexed article (copied from Life Illus
trated) we commend to the perusal of parents. It
contains good practical advice;
“Do you want to learn how to make the chil
dren love you? Do you'want the key that will
unlock the innermost recesses of their natures?
Then sympathize with.them always. Never allow
yourself to ridicule any of their little secrets.
Never say, ‘Oh, pshaw I’ when they come to show
you a new kite or marvellous top, and ‘I can't be
troubled,’ when the hard knot won’t be untied,
and two and two obstinately refuse to make four
on their little slates. Kites and knots are only
the precursors of older thoughts and deeper trials
which the parents may one day.plead. in vain to
share! Don’t laugh at any of a Child’s ideas, how
ever-odd or absurd they may seem to you; let
them find your sympathy ready in all their won
derments and aspirations. Is there any man so
wise in his own conceit as to have forgotten that
there was a time once when he, also, was a child?
The little folks are too much crowded out in this
world; people generally seem to think they ean
be put in anywhere, or made to eat anything, or
crammed into any out-of-the-way corner, to amuse
themselves anyhow. We don’t agree with these
cross-grained wiseacres. Children'have just as
much right to the car window and easy seat as
anybody. It don’t take much'to make a child
love you and trust in you, and the benefits to him
are absolutely incalculable. Oh, how much bet
ter it is for children to bring all their cares aud
troubles and temptations under the gentle eye of
a wise parent! What a safeguard it is for them
to feel that there is always a kind ear to listen to
their doubts and grififs, and a gentle shoulder for
their little heads to nestle against! Respect their
rights; never think you can say bitter things in
their presence, or do unjust actions. They are
the finest discriminators of fair and unfair ip the
world. Somebody says: ‘When you are inclined
i to be cross with children for being slow to learn,
' just try a moment to write with your left hand.
See how awkward; it proves/and then remember
i that .with children ; itis all left hand!’ I .Preserve

ns from those precocious infants who spring up
ready-made philosophers and casuists; cherry
cheeked little orphans are infinitely preferable.
Above all, do not be ashamed to let -them know
that you love them. Remember, they will be
men and women some day, and the slightest word
which may influence their future lives should be
come a thing of moment in our eyes.”
THE MOTHER MOULDS THE MAN-
That it is the mother who moulds the man, is
a sentiment beautifully illustrated by tbe follow
ing recorded observation of a shrewd writer:
“ When I lived among the Choctaw Indians, i
held a consultation with one of their chiefs, re
specting the successive stages of their progress in
the arts of civilized life; and, among other things,
he informed me that at their start they made a
great mistake—they only sent boys to school.
These boys came home intelligent men, but they,
married uneducated and uncivilized wives—and
the uniform result was tbe children were iill like
their mothers. The father soon lost all his inte
rest both in wife and children. ‘ And now/ said
he f if we would educate but one class of our
children, we should choose the girls; for when
they become mothers they educate their sons.’”
This is the point, and it is true. No nation can
become fully enlightened when mothers are not
in a good degree qualified to discharge the, duties
of the home-work of education.
LADY MORGAN AND YOUNG LADIES.
In a tete-a-tete conversation on the subject of
some young ladies who had been suddenly bereft
of fortune, Lady Morgan said with an emphatic
wave of her dear old green fan: “They do every
thing that is fashionable imperfectly; their sing
ing, and drawing, and dancing, and languages
amount to nothing. They were educated to mar
ry,.and had there been time they might have gone
off with, and, hereafter from, husbands. They
cannot earn their own salt; they do not eyen know
how to dress themselves. I desire' to give every
girl, no matter what her rank, a trade—a profes
sion, if the word pleases you better; cultivate what
is necessary in the position she is born to; culti
vate all things in moderation, but one thing to
perfection, no matter what it is, for which she-has
a talent—drawing, music, embroidery, housekeep
ing even; give her a staff to lay hold of, let her
feel ‘this will carry me through life without de
pendence.’ I was independent at fourteen, and
never went in debt.”
PRESCOTT’S HABITS.
“His habits were methodically exact; retiring
early and ever at the same hour, he rose early alike
in winter and in summer at the appointed moment,
rousing himself instantly, though in the soundest
sleep, at the first note of his alarm bell; never
giving indulgence to lassitude or delay. To the
hours which he gave to his pursuits he adhered
as scrupulously as possible, never lightly, suffering
them to be interfered with; now listening to his
reader; now dictating what was to-be written;
now using his own eyes sparingly for reading; now
writing by the aid of simple machinery devised for
those who are in darkness; now passing time in
thoughtfully revolving his great theme. For this
reason, at the period of bis life when he rode much
on horseback —and when he was an excellent and
fearless rider—it was his choice and his habit to
go out alone; and in his stated exercise on foot,
you might be sure that, when by himself, his mind
was shaping out work for the rest of the day.”
Mr. Bancroft described the personal appearance
of Mr. Prescott as follows:
“His personal appearance itself was singularly
pleasing, and won for him everywhere in advance
a welcome and favor. His countenance had some
thing that brought to mind “the beautiful dis
dain" that hovers on that of the Apollo. But,
while he was
gentle, and humane. His voice was like music,
and one could never hear enough of it. His
cheerfulness reached and animated all about him.
He could indulge in playfulness, and could also
speak earnestly and profoundly; but he knew not
how to be ungracious or pedantic. In truth, the
charms of his conversation were unequalled, he so
united the rich stores of memory with the case of
one who is familiar with the world.”
EASILY AMUSED.
The French seem to us to be in general a na
tion of children—amused with the smallest thing?,
“pleased with a rattle and tickled with a straw.”
They will stop in the street, and stand gazing with
the greatest interest on two dogs at play, or. some
thing as trivial as that. We have seen fullrgrown
men playing at ball with children, in the garden
of the Tuilieries on a Sunday, and enjoying the
game quite as much as the children. Men and
women patronize, with the greatest delight, those
dizzy arrangements found in all .places of-public
resort, those wooden .horses which go arpjind in a
oirele by means of a crank. It is well known with
what facility a crowd.can be collected,in, Paris.
Qne has but to stop, and point at anything, aud lie
will be immediately surrounded. We were much
amused, the other evening, by an illustration of
this, which we saw in the Passage des Panoramus
on the Boulevards. A large crowd, almost block
ing up the passage, Had collected before the win
dow of a confectioner’s shop. We stopped, of
course, thinking that there must be some thing im
portant to attract so many people, but we looked
in vain for the cause. We inquired of several per
sons, but they seemed to be no wiser than ourselves.
On pushing up near the window, and still making
inquiries, we were pointed to a tall, fine-looking,
lady who was making, purchases in the shop, and
whose sole singularity seemed to be, that she bad,
a dress very long behind, or “ un grande queue,” as
a Frenchman remarked.. She occasionally glanced
out of the window at the crowd, and appeared em
barrassed by so much attention. At last she
finished her purchase and left the shop by a door
on the other side. The crowd then dispersed with
expressions of disappointment, that she did not
emerge by the front door. It was certainly a case
of aggravated curiosity. '
The shop; windows, are a great source of amuse
ment to thp French, and they are well worth, look
ing at. Almost all the stock shop is gene
rally exposed in the window. Ornjis not ashamed,
fearing to hfe considered green, as in New 'Jork,
if be stop arid examine; The exhibitions of this;
kind in the Palais Royal, and ori the Boulevards,
have been especially brilliant during the Christmas
and New Year’s season. Besides the regular shops,
there were all along the Boulevards, during the
time, numerous 1 little booths erected on the edge
of the sidewalk, exposing for sale all sorts of toys
for “etrennes,” or gifts. On Christmas and New
Years’ days, which, happened on Sunday, the
Boulevards, with their gay, holiday appearanee—
the laughing, chattering, happy crowd, which was
a crowd indeed—the shouts of the keepers of the
booths, attracting attention to their wares—the in
vitations of travelling venders—all formed a scene
very lively, and very strange to an American who
happened to recollect what day Of the week it was.

THE FLOWER GARDEN.
As to situation, the flower garden should be, if
possible, gently inclined to the East or South, and
never to the West: or North, if such :an exposure
can be avoided. A flat garden,-or one with steep
descent, is not desirable. In most cases,'however,
thcre.can be no choice about the situation. The
soil should be deep, neither heavy nor. light, and
moderately rich. If wet, it should by all means
be well drained. , ' ,
The walks should be formed of such materials
as will always afford dry walking. At the bottom
should be six inches of small stones, oyster or clam
shells, broken bricks or similar substances, Covered
with several inches of good clean gravel. They
should be six feet wide for main walks, and three
or four feet for. the remainder. If the garden be
very small, the walks should all be straight, and
■ the arrangement formal; if on a larger scale, they
should be winding, and a more natural and easy
design adopted. The edgings for ihe flower-beds
may "be of gra«s, cut six inches to a foot in width,
box, thrift, dwarf ins, or similar plants.
In selecting the situation for a flower garden,
eare should be taken that it should exposed
to the view from the-windows of that part ot the
house most used by the family, so that m case of
bad weather, the pleasures of the garden may be
still enjoyed to some extent. No large trees should
be allowed o n the grohnd allotted to the flower gar
den, as they injure plants by their foots, shade and
drip. Almost all jihnts require a full exposure,
during a great partm? the day, to the rays of the
sun
Worth Knowing— Transplanting Trees. —lf
the commissioner, of ; the Central Park would give
strict orders to mark the north side of the trees
with red chalk- before they were taken up, and
when set out to have the tree put in the ground
with its north side Jo the north in its "natural
position, a larger pr.oporfiou would live. Ignoring
this law of nature, is the cause of so many trans
planted trees dying. 1 If the 'north side is exposed
to the south, the heat of the sun is too great for
that side of the tree to bear, and therefore it dries
up and decays. j

NATIONAL MUSIC.
The power of music has been felt in all ages,
It gave rise to the ancient story of Orpheus and
Amphion. and it has kept pace with all advances
towards civilization. As its varying strains have
floated through the their animation has led
the hero and. the heroine on to victory, their
sweetnes - h ~ soothed, the troubled spirit, and
their tenderness softening the natural; heart and
awakening some pure and gentle emotions, has
afforded a lasfe Uf:|(!fcrci;nty joys; - -Natiros;which
have made the greatest progress in this science
and art, possess the most enduring source of hap
piness, and are the most radiant with genial influ
ences upon surrounding nations. *
Diversities, in national music, which are ob
served, by every student of history, and- felt by
every traveller, are .due to a corresponding diffe
rence in the, circumstances, of nations. The tem
pest, the mournfulJsigb of, the coming storm, or
the roar of its furyj(and the deep, angry, and in
cessant roll of the Ocean; constantly falling upon
the ear, give rise to the most stirring modulations;
while th< ong of birds and the busy hum of in
sects, the prevalent sounds of nature, the breeze
and the purling stream, and the absence of striking
scenqry beget those gentler emotions which are
expressed in. the pleasing, yet heart-touching, met
lody.
Great must. be the contrast, between the music
coming from the sunny plains of Lombardy and
that rising from the awful scenery of. the Alps,
or the wild the Northern, Seas. Italy is :
appropriately called the “land'of song.” Its clear,
el.astic genial climate give flexibi
lity and clearness © the voice. is sim
ple, yet passionate; Whilst that of Germany is
profound, complicated, grand and sentimental.
But it is also “ the offspring of enthusiasm and a

head forward and downward, so, as. to get a sort
of leverage; or, as one' expresses it, he tries to
“throV his weight into what He has got to do.”
What, then, if .Bis hkad is girded up into the air?
He works at very great disadvantage.
When a man has hard work to do, he naturally
rids himself of all unnecessary ligatures, clothing,
and weights. He does the. same.if he is going to
run, walk a long distance, fight, or recreate, in any
way. He seeks to get free play Of muScle and free
respiration. • Now 1 , why should he treat his faith
ful horse differently, unless ho wishes as' wantonly
to oppress-or.injure him? The New-Ebgland
Farmer is hardly too severe in saying that “ any
person whose attention has been called to the sub
ject; and who still persists iu .tlie'use-of- the tight
che.ek-rein, to have hisiown head placed in
a siinilarposittonfor a considerable time. If I
were the Qrand Sultan, every man who. tormented
his horse witn a check-rein shpuld hold his arm at
right angles with his body for an hour at a time
once in twenty-four hours, as long as he continued
the check-rein.- For working horses the use of this
■pernicious strap is especially cruel. : The home,
in endeavoring jo put forth his strength, needs the
free natural use of his head and neck.” And any
thing which cratnps and restrains him is both cruel
to the animal/*and?makes him less; serviceable to
his owner.— 'Americd^Ag^^^urkt..
An Evangelical Alliance in Persia — ln a let
ter (in the Emngdical KkmUndom ,) dated Oroo
miah (Persia,) December 10, 1859, we read—“ Ton
will be happy to be informed that a Persian branch
of the Evangelical Alliance, auxiliary to' the British
organization, has been formed by the America ll mis
sionaries of Oroomiah, agreeably to the regulations
of the parent society. After the adoption of the
usual constitution and by-laws, it was resolved to
hold a general meeting in the eity of Oroomiah, and
that the Rev. 0. W. Com he requested to make the
address on that occasion. The contemplated meet
ing was convened on the 6th ultimo! It was at
tended by some hundreds of Evangelical Nestorians,
and was an occasion of much interest. The names
of Mar Yohannan, Mar Elia Dea Yshak, brother of
the patriarch, Mar Shinoon, and about fifty, other
principal Nestorians of Ofoomiah, were regularly
proposed and received as members of the branch.”
