[From the Itoston Post.] SONG OF THE FLOWER GIRL. BY It. CLVY PRECBF. I have flowers! I have flowers' Of the richest, rarest hu.-. From the rose's blushing carmine To the violet's heaven-blue. Here's the lily of the valley From the wild wood's secret place. Where the sun scarce ever kisses Its alabaster face; And here's the haughty dahlia, As peerless as a queen, And daffodils and daisies. With the constant evergreen Oh, tlie flowers! Oh, the flowers ' Fresh from the woodland bowers— Will you buy my pretty flowers. My pretty, charming flov, n ? I have flowers, and I've plucked them From places iar and wide ; In the shadows of the ravine, By the sunny mountain side. I seised them 'mid their revels In the joyous woodland air. And I bring them blushing captives To grace the maiden fair. I'oor little orphan children. Torn from their parent stem ; Bright miniatures of angels— Would wo were like to them I Gentle lady, will you buy My flowers sweet and wild ? They are the only stay that's left A friendless orphan child. My father was a soldier; In his country's cause he died; .My mother, broken hearted. Now slumbers by his side. My little blue-ey | brother too Has gone to the spirit worid, And I am left alone on earth— I'-'or orphan flower girl! llaiililHMiaT TIIE GRAVE. I love, in the twilight hour, when ail is calui and peaceful, t< disengage myself from the busy scenes of this world of din and noise, and hold sweet communion with the sleeping tenants of the grave, i love to wander amid the tombs and read upon the lettered stone, or the sculptured mar ble, the epitaphs of those who have 'shuffled off this mortal coil,' and aid them down to pleasant dreams. There sleep, in unbroken slumbers and peaceful repo-e, infancy in its hud, youth in its bloom, manhood in its vigor, and old age in its infirmity. There repose the friends and companions of our youth, with whom we were wont to spend the halcyon days of boyhood. There, too, are sleeping the remains of a pious mother, or a loved father, who in the wayward hours of infancy, when we were tempted to leave the path of rectitude, taught us to pray and prepare for heaven; and who amid the last pangs of dissolving mortality, bade us meet them in that happy c untry, where ' Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and feared 110 more.' 1 love to see the bell flower, affection's ap propriate emblem, bloom in grateful fra grance and attractive loveliness over the sacred spot that marks the resting place of the loved and beautiful —the pious and good of other days. 1 love, like my bless ed Redeemer to shed the tear of sympathy and affection over the turf clad mounds; for in the touching and sublime words of scripture, we are told, 'JESUS WEPT.' 1 love to visit the grave yard, because in a few days or years at farthest, it will he the receptacle of this cumbersome clay— this earthly fabernaelo, which has so long been lioir to a thousand ills and sorrows. I love the grave because it is a place of rest. There nothing shall mar our clum bers, or disturb our repose. 'There the wicked cease to trouble, and the weary are at rest.' Well may Job, in prospect of rest in the grave, exclaim —' i would not live always;' and the t'salmist —'Oh, that I had wings like a dove, then Would 1 dec away and he at rest.' 1 There is a calm for those that weep, A rest for weary pilgrims found, They softly tie, and sweetly sleep Low in the ground.' ' The storm that wrecks the wintry sky, No more disturbs their deep repose, Than summer evening's latest sigh That shuts the rose.' But the grave is not the finale of man. lie is destined to rise in triumph from it portals, and claim an affinity of being be yond the starry realm. 'Behold I show you a mistery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall be. changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, nt the last, trump; (for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal shall put on immortality.' At the mandate of Divinity, shall earth's slumbering millions, who have so long qui etly reposed in their houses of dust, come forth from the dreary empire of the grave with the loud paean of victory and triumph upon their immortal tongues — ' Oh Grave, where is thy victory ?' THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1858. AT BEST. ' Site is at rest,' said the village pastor, lis we stood around the shrouded figure of the dead. How sweet, how consolatory these words seemed when applied to her who lay in a dreamless slumber before us ! The form, whose dim outline could be seen through the white cerements of the grave, was wasted to a mere shadow of its former symmetry, and the cold hands folded over the silent heart were so thin and so trans parent that you could trace each blue vein. There was many a silver thread in the dark hair, gathered back from the broad 1' rchead ; many a deep furrow on the pale and rigid face. Gave and sorrow had swept the bloom from the cheek, and cast a gloomy shadow over the spirit, which had now taken it? flight heavenward. Bhe had learned hitter lessons in human sufferings; her home had been darkened by death, and her husband and child had long been tenants of the tomb. The vis ions of childhood had thus melted away like the tints of the rainbow; the bright passion-dreams of youth had fled ; the hopes and plans of mature years had been grasp ed by the iron hand of adversity. Friends had deserted her, and love had grown cold. Her existence was a perpetual struggle, yet amid every trial, every misfortune, she kept her faith in God undiinmed. The silver cord was broken now; she was free from toil and grief; she was at rest. Eike tempest-tossed mariner she made the per ilous voyage of life with her gaze fixed on the day star of Eternity, and in that peace ful heaven beyond the river oi' Death, her sweet repose is endless. What can be more soothing than tlie thought of eternal rest ? It comes to us with its calm and holy in fluortecs, when the young pass away from earth, and even in our lamentations for them, it is cheering to know that they have escaped the snares of the world— that they will never mingle in the wild strife for wealth and distinction; and nev er feel the blighting breath of anguish. When the poor die in peace we rejoice in the belief that they have found repose in the better land. There no storms come, and no clouds of sorrow lower, but the weary are at rest. A Few Sounding and Glittering Generali ties. (I"r un Itufr f'Uoat'- Fourth of July or ir '.m at Boston,on Monday, 3th July.) 4> lit some of the elemental characteris tics of political opinion the American peo ple are one. These they can no more re nounce for substance than the highest sum mit of the highest of the White Hills, than the peak of the Alloghanics, than the llocky Mountains can how and cast them selves into tiic sea. Through :tll their his tory, from the dawn of Gonial life to this hrightu:of this rising, they have spoken tkeui, they have \viL.en them, they have j acted them, they have run over them. In al! stages, in all agonies, through all report good and evil—some learning from the golden times ancient mediaeval freedom, Greece, and Italy and Geneva, from Aris totle, from Cicero, and Bodiuas, and Machi avel and Rosseau; some learning, all rein forcing it directly from nature and nature's God ; all have held and felt that every man is equal to every other man, that every man lias a right to life, liberty, and tlie pursuit of happiness, and a conscience un fettered, that the people were a source of power, and the good of the people was the political object of society itself. 1 his creed, so grand, so broad—in its general and duly qualified, so true—planted the colonies, led them through the desert and the sea of ante-revolutionary life, rallied them all together to resist the attacks of a king and a minister, sharpened and point ed the bayonets of all their battles, hurt forth from a million lips, beamed in a mil lion eyes, burned in a million bosoms, sounded out in their revolutionary elo quence of fire, aud in the Declaration awoke the thunders, and gleamed iu the lightning of the deathless words of Otis, Henry and Adams, was graved forever on the general mind by the pen of Jefferson and Paine, as by a steel point on a great rock, sun-lighted, survived the excitements of war and the necessities of order, pene trated and tinged all our constitutional composition and policy and all our party organisations and nomenclature, and stands to-day radiant, defiant, jocund, tip-too, on the summits of our greatness, one authori tative aud louder proclamation to humanity by Freedom, the guardian and the avenger.' EFFECTS OF FORT CAE TELLING. A person named John Hodgson was charged at the Halifax police court on Tuesday with having unlawfully pretended to use subtle cv.;!' f , to wit, palmistry, to deceive and mipoc : un certain of her .Ma jesty's subjects;. From evidence adduced it appeared tout the iuforiuant, Elisabeth Honey, u young woman about 20 years of age, and a companion named Ellen Ambler, went to the lodgings of the prison er to have their fortunes told, lie took them into rhe room and told them to sit down, saying he supposed they understood his terms. They replied they did not; on which he informed them what his charge was; and the young women having consent ed to nay the sum, Hodgson examined their hands, muttered some gibberish, and then took out a pack of cards, v. hieli the girls by his direction cut five times. He told Bonny she would have two offers of marriage within the yffar, and Ambler that her cards were very bad, two young men being anxious to marry her, and one of them continuaily frustrating the other's connubial designs. To defeat this opposi tion tin! wizard directed her to read the first chapter of Iluth when she got home, and to wish three times. The girls then paid their money and left the fortune tel ler, on the understanding they were to re turn in a fortnight. On their way home Ambler said she felt alarmed, and was afraid to read the first chapter of Ruth lest the devil should take Iter. Afterwards she appeared nervous, and became gradually worse until Thursday 10-M, when she was tjuite deranged. She raved and screamed in great fright constantly, and was almost unmanageable. On one occasion she could not bo kept in bed, and left the house al most naked, fihe was a teacher in a Sab bath school at Halifax. The prisoner de nied all recollection or knowledge of the girls, and also that Ambler's illness could have been the result of anything at such visit, owing to the time that had elapsed since it was alleged to have taken place. The superintendent of police produced a belt found upon the prisoner, under hi outer clothing, after he had been taken into custody. It was composed of a coarse material, and ori the side worn next to the body was a magnet, and three crosses and four medals, carefully sewn up, together with directions for fortune telling, notes received from his correspondents and pieces of parchment covered with hieroglypliies. The bench committed the prisoner to the House of Correction for three months with hard labor, and expressed their regret that the law did not allow them to award a se verer punishment.— London Times.

DECAY IN FRUIT TREES. N\ e have often heard the practice rec ommended of driving nails into decaying fruit trees, to restore their vigor. But we have never seen the result set forth so ; strikingly as in the following from the ; Southern Planter. A singular fact, and one worthy of bc j ing recorded, was mentioned to us a lew | days since by Alexander Duke, of Alber- I marie. He stated, that whilst at a neigh | bor's his attention was called to a peach . orchard, every tree in which had been to tally destroyed by the ravages of the worm, with the exception of three, and these were the most thrifty and flourishing peach trees lie e\ er saw. The only cause of their superiority known to his host was an exper iment made in consequence of observing that those parts of worm eaten timber into I which nails were driven wore generally | sound. When his trees were about a year j old, he bad selected three of them, and j driven ;< tenpenny nail through the body, as near the ground as possible. Whilst the balance of his orchard had gradually failed and finally yielded entirely to the ravages of the worms, these three, selected at random, treated precisely in the same ! manner, with the exception of the nailing, had always been vigorous and healthy, furnishing him with the greatest profusion of the most luscious fruit. It is supposed that the salt of iron afforded by tlie nail is I offensive to the worm, whilst it is harmless, ! or perhaps even beneficial to the tree. A chemical writer upon this subject says; | " The oxydation or rusting of the iron by the sap, evolves ammonia, which as the sap rises, will of course impregnate every part of the foliage, and prove too severe a dose for the delicate palate of intruding insects." This writer recommends driving half a dozen , nails into the trunk. Several experiments of this kind have resulted successfully.
