—of mature fullness, .of slow decay;
the morning glory is new every'morn-
Ins.. It has only a few fresh hours,
and then closes forever,.and instead Of
a half-withered, slowly decaying flow

ones, sprung as by one magic touch
from the womb of, night. Ages egO,

strange ethereal beauty, are a living
emblem of that daily Inve which God

ments and .comforts.
Our garden a perflict jungle or
Petunias. That flower, so encourag
ing to the souls of immature 'gat-Un
ers—so hopeful, so hardy, so full !of
vanity, an persistent in bloom that no
exuberance can possibly exhaust it.
We: have taken from the ground a
petunia that has been flaunting its
blossyms all summer, cutit '&4n for
~t ir winter window garden, and seen
it bloom they with new vigor all win
.ter, and whey spring came go back
into - the groutid and flower on all
summet, witluatt one. pause sugges
tive of weariness. 4.hl how few
among nttr living friends are there
that correspond to petunias.. Now
and then one we have seen whose ,ex :

hopefulness no blossoming-; could ex

worldtkleSS) are few. For such a
character is required, first, an unper
verted, well-trained physical - system,
where every natural 'kW has 'been sa
credly regarded, and second, a aool
balanced and attuned to divine cheer:-
fulness springing from faith in God
l and love to man—and how rarely are
these two
.found together! 1114oy of
cpir Mends have fine souls—how few
are'whnle and sound in soul and - bo4y
—vet tkte finest, het attuned soul in
the, w.,rld acts but yr izily through an
imperfect, wrecked body 1 oto .might
Its well expect to hear Ntrzart's mak'.
d:es come eyt uninjured through a
,cracked qyte. Woo wany of us, mor
ally, and physically, are half hothouse
plants. With exact care and dispost
tiim,.and with exactly well adapted
situation, culture, exposure, rain and
sunshine, we get blossoms ; but other 7
wise we aredry sticks enough. We
have no virtues that can take give of
themselves and bloom in spite of cir!.
cumstctupes .
KerbSilas also, are an spcouraging
growth, - requiring only sunshine
enough for uotiring bloom. People
with shaded borders should eschew
• hem, for they w:11 not blossom with ! .
out a plenary ft.llness . of sunlight.
Too much silo aid lea:, thsy scares
can have, and they lift their heads to
it with an exultant glow ; they are like
rich, poetic, anti-tic natures, which
ravel in congenial warmth and culture
hut become wilted, bloomless, and
stinted, in cold, shaded, urgenial sit
uations. Many persons can no . mote
be .. judged of in such situations, than
can the verbenas Which some of our
neighbors are fond of plautingitt•shady
botders under the drip of overarching
trees. " I see no beauty about the
thing," they say; "it's a • miserable.
yellow, lank-growing mine—without
form or comeliness." Yet, friend,
give it sunshine, and you will see
what it can do. Some of the most
gorgeous and splendid natures may
have all their li!iss in this world passed
for miserable failures- 7 iimply because
the sunshine of congeniality and Qp
portunity never awakened what was
in them to bloom ; and' there may in
the future hfe be glotious blossoms on
plants which seemed poor and stunted
here.

These are her thrifty children ; our
so-called flowers are her step-sons
penuriously and grudgingly . broeght
up. Whig. real es one thing a weed,
and another a flower 1 We have seen
growing in trodden paths by the Baud
and du-t of the wayside ; weeds fairer
than some green-heuselierslings. The
weed of one country is the cheriShed
exotic of another. - Our mullein flenr--
ishes in English gardens, under the
,cognomen of the Americao v velvet
plant, and the .willl heath of her moors
is our green-house nursling.
We hive thought sometimes that
flowers, could they speak, would corn_
pl tin of this capricious standard of
valuation. But the same thing. runs
through the !Meg world. There is
one Mrs. A who is broad and -fat, a
course talker, 'a loud laugher, a heavy
feeder, and there is another Mrs. A.
who is jest the same--but the wet Id
calls ege of them a flower, and the
other * weed.. Quae.,i tlie rich Mrs. A.
and the felipr, is the poor Mrs. A. arid
that makes 411 the difference. 'One is

We confess/ to certain remorseful
yeareings in favor of weeds, when .we
observe ‘the persistent assiduity with
whie.la _nature endeavors to give them
a foothold in the would. Hew is a be
liever in universal toleration andtree
dere of development to reconcile it to
his conscience to'give . pigweed and
pusley no chance 1 Pigweed has his
aesthetic merits ; his Jeaf is elegarr,
in good lull he beconaeth soon a Shape
ly shrub. Wh.uso will .ear mine the
pick leaves of a very young pigweed
through a microscope,' will find them
-frosted with a glittering incrustation,:
of the rpost brilliant beauty. A few
sparkles of dew lying - cradled in t'lese
liiuic leaves, have often stayed our
hand in full process of weedi.ig, and
raised theque.ry why should this be

One of our ow.t ideas of a garden is
a certain wild qband.on or freedorn of
growth-similar to what one sees in
woods and hedges. Trim gardens,.
where every plaritis prepped and tied
and divided with exactest care, have
their oivn beauty, but there is
. (so t.;
least we hope) beauty also in dense
masses of flewers vthieh grow, and
twine, and mingle' together as if nature
had planted.thern. Perforce, such has
been the shape of our own gardening
affairs; our beds are so full that the
ground is scarcely to,be . seen:; flowers
lean over each other- . —..viries intertwine
they mat, and run, and . blossom ;in
each other's embrace, as &they grew

STRAY LETTERS
MEADOW COTTAGE,' October 20
%DEArt :—lt was in Autumn's
fitst . days--i-bright, golden-haired Sep
tember—that I 'last wrote , thee:: : upon
the eve: of • a visit with Flo'—dear,
gentle sister 'Flo'. We had a pleasant
time upon the lake shore : so - pleasont
I could not find lei Sure for 'goasip, even
with tlwm, dear .Sarah. When
came back to. i nur mountain home, all
were so glad to welcome us, though
we 'had been but a week away: Then,
while the-sunny days lasted, we stroll
ed the brook-sides, gathering
bright pebbles—sat beside the big
apple-tree,"-and ate the .red checked
fruit; or, with baskets upon our arms,
'traversed the woodsin 'search. of moss.
And when the sun shine, fled, and the
clouds were gray and' heavy—when
the-fain-drops pattered upon' . the roof,
like.'a troop of fairies in a : merry.dance
—then it was just as plaasaat indoors
to ply our needles, and listen to Uncle
11,,race while he read aloud scone
favorite author. Ali ! all this is but 4
memory now, for Elsie and Flo' have
g ,ne back to their Western home, and
an unwonted silence reigns through 1.11
Mdadow Cottage, in these bright,Octo- .
ber days. It was not yet sunrise, when
father,in a voice not quite as calm as
usual--said; The Wagon is ready
girls." How very quiet we , were : as
we wrapped our shawls about us, and
drew on our gloves. No one spoke
except nowand then in a scarcely au
dible voice, ,t,o ask if everything was
put up..thesataliel iacked, 14c,.. Firm
hands - trembled and young eyes were
strangely blind and dim, Each heart
was asking—shall we ever all meet in
the dear old home again 1 IN this our
last good-by upon' its threshold 1 As
" stood by the window a moment I
thought
,'‘what a little time;---it sea us
only a.day since, looking out of this
s one window' beheld- Elsie and Flo'
alight, at the yard gate. Then a joy
ful cry rang through the house, They .
i axe come Elsie • and Flo' have'
come !" Ifow we rushed to meet
them—actually screaming in the wild
ness of our joy—that after four phrs
pf separation we had met once more.
IYh 4 t. a short summer' it had been,
'4p e yYrergs going away now, and my
ungrateful heart murmured, is It were
better 44 they not pore home," But
why linger o'er the parting? •
"I never epeak the w ord--Tfarewitli—
But with an utterance faint and broken;
A hear-L.l:cl yearning feFthe time
When it shall never more be spottea."
I accompanied the trayelars . as far .
as B It, was oap ufPct.oberls
must deliciens days. The bright. sun,.
shine—the gqrgeous "landscapes—and
walking up the long hills,:reised our
s2irits, so that by the time Welreadhed l ,
town, we were quite a merry party,
The express" train . was behind time,
causing a weary waiting for the"cars.'

were now: brought' forth- and th it
ample •folds wrapped about' Mrs.

laughed ; jested, and occasionally

" shower," as the prospects before us
looked rather dark and gloomy. •
Nightgathered.about us—our merri
mentsomewbat subsided at' the con

must be 'traveled through •rain and
darkness, ere we reached home. "Had' ,
we not better stop at some farm house
and stay over night 1" I•suggested; "If
we only knew somebody in this vicinity.
wouldn't it be nice 1" responded Mrs.
S. Then all at once I rememberel
dear; kind old lady--a friend of my
mother's who li%;ed three miles fur
' ther on, - and I said quite decidedly, we
.will stay with Mrs. E. to-night. The
sight of her kind, genial face will warm
our irearts,andour bodies will be well
cared for beneath her hospitable roof
—but it is already dark—can we drive
three miles further 1 cr, yes! that
is hut'a little distance," responded D.
and Mrs. J. simultaneously ; and with
renewed spirits we Came on. But an :
unlooked-for disaster was just before
1 , us. A sudden 'gust of wind turned
our umbrella inside but, rendering it
altogether useless, " What. a pity !"
we sighed, unvoluntarily. " Then art
like a summer friend, - deserting us in
the time of our sorest need," said Mrs.
J.:as she threw the :wrecked umbrella
down. The large drops rained thick
and • fast upon our now . defenseless
- heads, and: ran in miniature rivers
down our elongated faces. I have
al ways 'th ought that ofall sweet sound:,
that of the
.pattering rain-drops 'was
most 'musical :-.but hereafter I fear
therewillbe a discordant note iri the
rensic,lor the soft - patter-patter ,
recall that diSmal night when the'd rope
came cold and ,heavy on out poor-heads,
sending a . shiVer all through our veins:
"I don't mind getting wet myself,
•but I'm afraid for You,' kindly
said Mrs,' J. ; adding, "do you feel very
chilly 1" " ...N-u-no!" I replied be
tween my chattering teeth..
At. length ;we • neared Mrs,
bright lightahoue frorn'the windows—
but in 'answer to D.',ainorkry; no Mrs,
E.'a' 'kind face appeared. She had
moved away, the man •said; who
