The 'following poem appeared some years

Two thousand years ago a flower
Bloomed Ilgtitly In a farofr land,
Two thousand yearSagn the seed
. Was placed within a deed man's hand.
'Before the Savior came to earth
That mauled lived, limed and died,
And even in that far-off land
The flower had spread Its perfume wide.

Suns rose heterset; years came and went;
,The dead hand•kept its treasure well,
"Nations were born and turned to dust
While life /aylidden In that shell •
The ehtFveilad hand i:l3 robbed at last,
The seed was buried in the earth,
When, Int the life, long hidden there,
Into a glorious flower burst forth.
-just such a plantvi thgt• which gebw- •
From such when buried low, ,
Just such a flower in Egypt bloomed
And died two thousand years ago.
A~oa iicnoss;
And will not licrwho watched tho seed
And kept the life within its shell,
When those he loves are laid to rest,
Wnteh o'er their buried dust as well ?
And will not Ile from 'nenth the sod
Cause something glorious to arise ?
Ave! though it sleep two thousand years,
'Vet all that buried dust shall rise.
Just such a fitcerm,greets you now,
Just such a form'as here we wear,
Only more glorious far:will rise
. •To meet the Savior in the sir. . .
Then will I lay me down In peace
When called to leave this vale of tears;
For in my flesh shall I see God,
Even though I sleep two thousand years.

For thirty , ,
vears Miss *gins had
looked under herbed every night, and had
never found a man -there yet, still she
looked Whe;tlicr it was fear that impel!:
ed that deathless research, or a fatality
:hat was beckoning her to her rate, I
know not. It would seem, however, to be
the former, fir she had often been heard
to observe : "That of all the abbniiiiiitions
on earth, a mon is the most abominable,"
indeed, ut the informal tea drinking of
the allied forces of Chesterville, the three
Misses Wheeler and the two Misses
Jones, she had often excelled them all in
the withering tole with which site would
mi. at: " Man! man!" and no one could
breathe greater defiance ut this foeman
than,she. Jt,wris at one of these tea par
ties that they had entered into a soleinn
c , rnpact that, in the event of Woman's
Rights giving either of these allies sorer=
eign power over the nation, and Eastern
law was to be by them imported and im
proved, and husbands buried with the
dead bodies of their wives:
As Etiiike Higgins well remarked :
"That would put an cud to widowers pret
ty lively." And with this remark the
ityson liowqi•atid the wassail went an—
wit/I s"c lll 49r l t, that. Atitelia Wilder, the
most radical, added another clause:
"That the children of widowers should
be thrown in too, and not be a botherin'
other women.", .This was also well re
ceived.
. .
Now if any one thiuks Miss Eunice
Higgins ;rasa woman devoid of virtues
and womingly graces, I pity them—they
are so utterly mistaken. She had assisted
a drunken father through the world, 'till
he made.bis :exit—snstatned and support
ed a feeble ,mother—and three or fotir
children older but more helpless than
she, till the mother went home to her re
ward, and the children had fuund flour
ishing homes for the mselves, With .the
exception of? the eldest son, who had 'fol
lowed his father's footsteps, literally. In
deed, when one contemplates the speci
mens of manhood she had been most fa
miliar with, her aversion, to the sex does
not seem so wonderful. She was now
shretvd eyed, but good and kindly look
ing. No home was brighter than hers.
No farm better managed.
The night on which commences my
humble history, Miss Higgins went to
tier room intuuusnal good humor. . She
tea party, The allies bad long,been
present, anti: °Omitted unanimously that
such fragrant tea, such snowy biscuits
and hoitey, such golden butter, such
cakes and'sweetmeats had not .been par
taken of that SeaSoll. • The scenes of her
benign victory rose before' as she took 'off
the little-sviach of hair at the back side
of her head, and pensively roll it up ere
she put it iar the top bureau drawer.
She saw again the siuking sun shining
in, through her house plants in the win
ow, upuu the cri , nson drugzet of the din
g-room ; the snowy tea-table with its
silver and pink sprigged china; the ad
miring faces of her frieuds as they par
took of her delicious luod. But one
memory disquieted her:, 'She , alienist
mistrusted her lemon extract *as ` Incising
its strength--the frosting on the fruit cake
didn't seem •to be flowered quite enough."
But this haunting manner was softened
by the thought that "she could get 3 new
bottle to-morrow."
Be this time she was arrayed in her
long white , night-dress and night-cap.
She folded np every "article of clothing,
and laiiLit 'dorm at light _angles.; she

This was the first question, but it was
repeated, before he answered, with droop

" Fre ranned away."
"Run away from where ?'
"'From our foffr's home."
"Who is your folks?*
"Father."
Hero the dialogue terminated suddenly,
Eunice Higgins becoming svfd4enly con
scious that a night-gown and a night-cap
were not the proper raiment in which to
entertain even so small a man. Out in
the 'pleasant. 'sitting `-iisern,'-biiiseith-:the
warm light of kerosene gleaming through
rose geraniums, and the-keener light.of
Eunice Higgins' eyes, the fainisition Was
continued. From which these facts were
gleamed ; that the boy, Johnny Dale, had
been so tried with his father, beoasse he
wouldn't let him go to a , circus.-that• ho
had run aWay.

the bed. His unusual fatigue had over-
powered:him, and- he had fallen asleep,
and waif awaken only by her screams as
she discovered him. , -
Hied'Higgins had found the man she
had been looking for for ihirty but
now the question arose, what was she to
do with bite As he lititt•no'dissigns
her propel y or, her life, shti could not
lecture-him therefor. J - And tas his copi•-
age arose, he displayed a pretty—a very
iiretty-face, surmounted bra mass of
bright.burls, in which shone two hen's
feathers. Miss Higgins was' very. neat,
but where is the feather bed that will not
occasionally shed a few feathers, 'dry

Miss Higgins' good sense,' backed by
her good heart, Might her whet her man
needed was a good supper and a bed.. But
in the molning, the question again vexed
her.•: LAVliiit was she to do with her man—
should 'she advertise him ? Again she
questioned him in the sunlighted dining-
Mora artie•ate his excellent hreakfast. •
"Whereabouts do your folks live—in
what place I"
He looked up mildly at her, with a
large piece of peach pie midway between
his plate and mouth, and answered obe
diently :
" Our folk's house,"
" Who is your folks ?'”
Father," . " •
The allies were called in,. the stiffly
starched inquest sat on Miss Higgins'
man. The additional of their over ques
tioning being' that there was every evi
dence that the father of Miss Higgins'_
man belonged to that corrupt and shame
less sect—widowers!
Miss Higgins trembled.
Had she not better dispose of her man
at once ? Was it not in a way encourag
ing widowers in their nefarious doings, to
harbor these small men ?
She asked these questions with some
relenting of heart, for already had the
childish charms of her man won upon
her, and it was with great relief that she
heard the decision of Aurelia the most
radical of the allies.
"No! keep him here. Such a chance
was seldom vouchsafed to the allies to
teach one of these men—widowers—a les-.
son they would not soon forget.
Punish that wretch, that unnatural
widower, by saying nothing about the
child. Let him think he is lost; let him
hunt him up the best way he can."
The youngest Miss Jones—she was on
ly forty and naturally timid and appre
tiensive--suggested that "it would be )test
like one of these men to come right here
to Miss Higgins after him. There wasn't
anything that they hadn't the face to do.
It would be just like one of 'em to walk
into her sittne-room."
Here Miss Higgins remarked:
"She would like to see•him walk into
her house. He wouldn't stir a step beyond
the ball, and as for that stair carpet she
n•oa going to tolto it, "r a... 1 olounoo is
anyway. _
`nit; remark, which was warmly ap
plauded, terminated the conference.
Johnny did not seem averse to the ar
rangement. Ile was at the age when
bodily comfort overshadows the mental.
He appeared to have a great deal of af
fection fur hie father, but there was a
Bridget, at the very mention of whose
name he almost gnashed his teeth. "She
was awful—she had shaken him, pinched
him, pulled his hair."
Eunice Higgins' warm heart almiist
melted within her at the recital of his
sufferings.
A week: passed away, and daily had
Miss Higgins' man gained upon her affec
tions. She was the youngest child of her
parents, and had never known the de
lights of childish society. .She had dwelt
so long alone,
that to have that, bright,
manly little face. opposite, hers at the
breakfast table, looking • out of the win
dow. hailing her return from her; short
ithsences. his merry innocent prattle and
ringing laugh, was all the more agreeable
to her than she_ would ,be willing to ac
knowledge.
She grew lenient to the boyish nerve of
her man for the best of boys have unreg
ulated moments; looked, benignantly up
on him as he capered in the garden paths
in startling proximity to her marrowfats
and cluster cucumbers. She ravelled out
a long stocking, and out of one of her
b es t morroeco slices made a ball for hint ;
and alien he lust it in the best meadow
she herself boldly breasted the clover
waves, side by side with him, in pursuit
of it.
that beantifttl week passed away and
one morning Eunice Higgins was called .
from her snowy dairy room by a ring at
her (tint door,.
Opening it, she confronted a pleasant
looking man or alma her own age. Wo
man's unerring intuition said to ber"this
is he." Here was the oppoitnnity to with
er him with her glances. Bnt how could
she when he looked so much like Johnny,
just such a . pleivatit manly look in his
rtide.--Bruiri,e4 t herhirti..
" I hate bees informed,, Madam, - that

that she entirely forgot her carpet and
her enmity. and actually invited him in.

He threw,his arras-ar.oanct his fatheee

May Blossoms.

"that's a pretty picture," said Jennie..
I reined 'up my horse and we stopped
to look at it. We were on our way to
Heinrich's to get some early spring plants.
In the field adjoining Heinrich's green
house was his little girl, fat and rosy, for
aging among the wild flowers which
decked the meadow's carpet of green with
many colors woven in nature's own inim
itable pattern, and tilled the air with the
amnia of the early spring. It was a pret
ty picture. Pencil cannot do it justice.
The artist can no more catch its full beau
ty and transfer it to this page than the
perfumer can reproduce the breath of
tho.v sweet flowers by his manufactured
odors.
".1 am sorry cr.-om my heart, Jennie,"
said I, " for the poor folk, oity bound,
who see such pictures as this only in shop
winnows, who know of this fragrance
only what Phalon can teach :them, who
are acquainted with May only as the
month that has moving day in it, who are,
in a word, without May blossoms,"
"'May Heinrich is the prettiest blossom
of then, all," said Jeanie. "I am sorry
fur the poor folk that have none such as
she."
"They cost more care," said I," and
how much pain, from the day of their
first coming to that in which they bid
father and mother good bye too out in
to the world to be rooted in soils."
",Care and pain "' said Jennie. "What
eosi,s nothing is worth nothing. I thank
God daily, John, that our house is full of
such May blossoms. I pity the home that
has not a nosegay. A single flower is a
blessing; but what is a single flower to a
field full ?"

Mount Vernon.
Mrs. Emily Edson Briggs, (Olivia)

Chronicle concerning the treatment of
Mount Vernon, which cannot but attract
the attention of Congress and the public.
She makes the gravest charges -against
Miss Pamela Cunningham. regent for life
over the estate, nutlet the charteranthor
icing the "Mount Vernon Ladies Associa
tion of the Union" to purchase two hun
dred acres of that ,estate, inniuding the
mansion and tomb of Washington. She
charges that Miss Cunningham has
usurped all power heretofore cenbirc4l . in
the Association, and states that' Mount
Vernon hag-becoma to all intents and
purposes Miss Cunningham's private
property for ; After this, gives the filets
upon which these startling charges are
base& She direethr affirms that certain
moncf given this . Mount Vernon Associa
tion might as wellhave dropped into the
depths of the sea. Miss Cunningham is
represented us living to extravagent style,
with a great retinue of sen - unts,.etc., her
expenses paid to and from South Carolina,
as well as for -her fashionable sojourn at
Cape May; and the writer asks .why-the
large sum of 8200,000 is being raised for
Mount Vernon, when the estate is self
supporting; the steamer Arrow alone pay

arraignment occupies two columns . in. the
