    THREE ROSES.
Jnsl -wheo the red Jtme roses blow
She gave me one, —a year age.
A rose whose crimson breath reveal’d
The'secret that its heart conceal’d.
And whoso half shy, half tender grace
Slosh'd back upon the giver’s face,
A year agtf—a year ago—
To hope was not to know.
Jasl when the red Jnne roses blow
I pluck’d her one, —a month ago.
Its balf-brown crimson to eclipse^
1 laid it on her.smiling Ups;
The balmy fragrance of the south
Drew sweetness from her sweeter month.
Swiftly do golden boars creep,— ‘
To hold is not to keep.
The red June roses now are past,—
This very day I broke the last.
And now its perfumed breath is hid,
"With her, beneath a coffin-lid;
There will its petals fall apart,
And wither on her icy heart:
At three red roses’ cost
My world was gain’d and lost
Biography of Paul Morphy.
For the following sketch of the career of the
American chess-player, we are indebted to the
kindness of one of his oldest and most Intimate
friends.
Pan! Morphy is a native of the city of Hew
Orleans, and was educated at Spring Hill cot
tage, near Mobile, Alabama. His lather was
horn.in Charleston, South Carolina, of Span
ish parents, and became one of the most emi
nent Judges of the Supreme Court of the State
of Louisiana. United to a French Creole lady
.of the latter State, the subject of our sketch
was horn on the 22d of June, 1837, and, at the
early age of ten years, learned the moves of
chess from his father, at his own earnest so
, licitation. ’ The family of Morphy has long
been known in the South and West of the Re
public for the eminence of its members in the
mysteries of Caissa: and foremost among them
stood the uncle of our hero, Mr. Ernest Mor
phy. This gentleman is of equal strength with
Mr. Rosseau of Hew Orleans, who has, for
many years, been a frequent vistor at the lead
ing clubs of London and the continent, and
whose presence wears again happy to welcome
in Europe. At a very early age, young Paul
had played some hundred games with his uncle,
and about half as many with Mr. Rosseau;
alniost all the games toward the last being won
by'their youthful opponent. While still a mere
boy, be played thirty games with Mr. James
McConnell, winning all but one; and on the
22d and 25th of May, 1850, (not yet thirteen
years,of age.) he encountered the celebrated
Hungarian, Herr Lowenthal, the result being
in some measure, no doubt, owing to Mr. L’s
underrating his young antagonist—Morphy, 2;
Lowenthal, 0; drawn, 1. It is not unfair to
suppose that the desire to wipe out this defeat
had something to do with Herr Lowenthal’s
challenging his youthful victor in the match
now pending;
For several years past, Mr. Morphy bad only
played with amateurs, to whom he gave the
rook or knight—odds in which, from his brilliant
style of play, probably no one living can sur
surpass him. But the mcetiug of the first con
gress of American chess players, last year, in
Hew York, offered a field for the display of his
..extraordinary powers, and his visit to the Em
pire City was hailed with satisfaction by nearly
(all the leading athletes in the-States. Compara
tively little is known in England of the strength
of American players. At the time of the con
gress, the Hew York club contained such men
as Mead and Thompson, gentlemen! well known
at the Cafe do Regonce, and who received only
small odds, from Zierzerifzky, and players of
equal grade. Lichtenheim, a trifle stronger,
had been president of the Konigsburg club, in
Germany; and Charles H. Stanley is no new
name to Englishmen. In other cities of the
Union were amateurs of equal force; such, for
instance, as Montgomery, of Philadelphia, and
Paulsen, then unknown to fame. Could tmr
headers examine some of the games played by
the above gentlemen, they would have a high
opinion of the knowledge of the “king of
games” in the great.Repnblic. •
Hon. A. B. Sleek, Judge of Probate in the
State of Alabama, and one of the leading ju
rists and orators, in America, was the first to
give the New York chib an idea of Paul Mor
phy's powers. When he informed the members
that the youthful Louisianian would certainly
carry off the prize in the tournament, he in
curred a good deal of bantering*; one gentle
man answering, “Because ho beats you, Judge,
ypu think he must necessarily beat everybody
elsea reply which, however brilliant, proved
unsound. Mr. Paulsen also gave it as his de
cided opinion, previously to Mr. Morphy’s ar
rival, that he would vanquish all competitors;
and he frequently expressed bis belief, during
the congress, that should Morphy visit Europe,
. he would prove his superiority over every living
player.
Mr. Paulsen’s admiration for the young
Louisianian was so great that, whenever the
latter was engaged in a game, he could not be
lured from watching him. But it is not merely
over the board that Paul Morphy exerts his
powers. As a blindfold player, no one ever
before succcLMled in conducting seven games
with the exception of Paulsen, and he has fre
quently stated in New York that he felt satis
fied Morphy could play as many games as him
self. The latter is considerably stronger blind
folded than Paulsen, and some of bis battles
are surprising examples of brilliant strategy.
Me. Morphy is about five feet three inches,
and his slenderness of figure is such as to give
him a remarkably youthful appearance.—Lon
don Field.
A Paragraph for Mothers.— A writer in
Blackwood’s Magazine considers the prevailing
idea of toughening infants to enable them to
withstand cold a disastrous and destructive
treatment. Although it may be true that young
animals have a higher temperature than old
ones, yet it is believed ta be a fact that the
younger tie animal, the feebler its power of re
sisting cold. I'he process of ‘toughening’ may
he carried so far by cold-water baths and ex
posuresJo cold air as suddenly and seriously to
chill the vital current. ‘Exposure to the open
air and the vicissitudes of the weather in the
process of ‘toughening* ought not to commence
until the child has obtained the free use of its
limbs, so that his own activity may counteract
the exposure and assist in the toughening pro
cess. Parents should not commence this system
. of ‘toughening’ when the child is merely pas
sive in their bands, lbs principle is that the
child must assist by its own activity in the pro
cess of its hardening. This is tha true line.
Little acts of kindness, gentle words, loving
smiles—they strew the path of life with flowers,
they make the sunshine brighter, and the green
carUi greener; and he who bade us ‘love one
another/ looks with favor npon the gentle and
kind-hearted, and ho pronounced the meek,
blessed.
A Romance hi Politics. —One of Texas’s
distinguished citizens, name hot given, who has
figured largely in phblic life, first as - a lawyer,
then as a soldier in, the Mexican and Indian
wars, and then as a leading politician, has the
following related of him in a sketch of his life
by the New Orleans Christian Advocate. He
had been pot up by his party in 1857 to suc
ceed General Houston in the United States Sen
ate ; but, feeling called to the ministry, and
distrusting his own ability tc resist the temp
tations of Washington life, was unwilling to
accept the nomination. He laid the case before
his wife, leaving to her the choice between the
United States Senate and destruction to his
morals, and the pulpit and salvation.
“Taking the letters and papers from all parts
of the State, giving him assurance of election,
he went to his wife and said: T can go to the
United States Senate. Here are the evidences.
If you wish it, I will go. But if I go, boll is
my doom. I shall die a drunkard as certain as
Igo to Washington. lean yet escape. If I
pass this point, I never can. 1 can enter the
ministry, which I ought to have done long ago,
and save myself from a drunkard’s grave, and
my soul from hell. But you shall decide.’—
His poor wife, unwilling to relinquish the glit
tering prize in view, replied, weeping, that she
could not see why he could not he a great man
and a Christian too. But, alter prayerful re
flection, she would not incur the fearful respon
sibility of deciding against his conscience, and
told him to go into the itineracy and she would
go with him. To the astonishment of the whole
State, a letter from him appeared in the papers,
just before the'meeting of the Legislature, de
clining the office and announcing his retirement
from political life. The next thing that was
heard of him was that he was preaching."
Where is Heaven ? PJato points to the snowy
summits of cold Olympus, and says, ‘lt is there.’
Swedenborg beholds spiritual presence in all
space, and says, ‘lt’s everywhere.’ Wordsworth
lives again through his youth, and replies,—
‘Heaven lies above us in our infancy. Sage,
theologian, and poet, I turn from you all and
ask the little blind girl, and she replies, ‘Hea
ven is where God is.’
An Ohio editor says; “What can 1 be more
captivating that to see a beautiful woman, say
about four feet eleven inches high, and eleven
feet four inches in circumference, passing along
the aisle just as divine worship commences ?”
He who says that there is no such thing as
an honest man, you may be sure is a knave.
