There is something calculated to charm even the dullest imagination in the very name of a flower tram, in the very idea of an agriculture limit-ed to bright petals, and odorous staining, of crops of blushing buds, and harvest of per— fumed blossoms. Such farms exist in Italy, in colder Germany even, where a fai’ored spot of sunny land seems suited to the purpose ; nor is England quite without rose forms and lav ender farms. But there are more flower farms in l’rovezlce than in all the rest of Europe.— The traveler from Cannes to Grassc. or from Grasse to Druguigan, passes through the centre ofadistrict which it is no poetical exaggeration to (all a land of flowers. b‘hellerrd from rude breezes by a range of projecting hills, fully ex posed to the southern sun, and in the centre ol most delicious part of sweet Provence, this strip ot‘country seems indeed the porter-re oi Europe. Every breath ofsummer wind is laden with the fresh scent of myriads 0f flowers; cvory field is a. garden; every proprietor isn flower grower ; the golden age seems to be realized there, and an Arcadia to exist. more graceful and unreal than that of the poets. And yet it is not all Arcadia, even there. Spring and summer are anxious seasons. The owner of all these odor ous treasures is often found a careworn man, Watching the sky and the weather glass as aux iously use sea captain in uncertain weather, and groaning over the ravages of blight and insects among his acres of blossoms. These blossoms are destined to supply the great distil— leries of Grasse, renownt d .hroughoul Europe. The word “ distillery” has a fiery alcoholic ring in it, which is a libel on the industry by which Grassc lives and thrives. Let me human to say that the distilleries of Grasse aim at pleasing the olfactory sense, not at soorching the palates or stupcfying the intellects of mankind. Grasse distils nothing more hurtful than subtle essen ces and dainty perfumes. It is a. beautiful sight, in good seasons, that floral harvest; the gathering of those snowy mounds of White orange blossoms, with their perfumed breath and maiden purity ; the gleaning of those purple violets, those clustering jasmines, those honeyed tube roses. More productive and gorgeous still is the ocean of crimson roses, pink roses, white roses, of every size and va riety, which are born, to yield their choicest sweets to the cunning alchemy of flowers. All this beauty, industry and prosperity, originated in a very singular way, and owed its commence ment to the constancy and attachment ofa pair of lovers, and the prompt wit of an humble French peasant. In the year 1800 these Provencal flower farms did not exist; there were not .then, as now, in the town of Grasse, a. hundred stills, continually producing those delicate scents which are now sold at a. high price in every city of the civilized world. French perfumes were distilled in Paris alone, from the produce of Italian gardens; while the more valual-le kinds of essence were drawn from Italy, and chiefly frdmdi’s‘lorence, which had been renowned for _ itfpofgfume‘rfidts'poisops during the learned sway of the Medici. At this time there dwelt in the village of Mery les Roches, three miles from Grasse, an old man of considerable wealth, doubtfulreputeandimperious character. named Jean Baptiste Desormes. Old Desormes owed his doubtful repute, in part, but in part onl,y to the manner in which his‘fortane had. been acquired. lam afraid we shouldhe but a little edificd bya. full account of his early career. His biographcrs simply mention that he had been it luckey of the Marechal do Mirepoix, and had been as useful in Paris as " Scapin Malicious.” This newer impersonation of the illustrious Scapin had somehow managed to render great services to his employer, or to master enough of his employer’s secrets, to make him of consequence, for he was suddenly .mado intcudant of the Mirepoix’ estates, in the neighborhood of Grasse. Desormes was not much liked. There were ugly rumorsabout his curly career. He was a severe taskmasker, and laid on the corneas and the dimes, and the other taxes and local exactions which the scigneurs of pro-revolutionary France were wont to screw out of their tenants with un sparing hand. Yet, somehow, the steward was more popular than the landlord, for the latter was never seen, and the absent arc proverbially made to hear the burden of sins they were never art or part in. If a peasant were flogged or imprisoned, if a poor woman’s cow, or a poor man’s seed corn wore confiscated for some trifling ofi'ence or omission, it was always the fault of M. 1e Marechal. The marshal was so ”Vere—the marshal’s orders were so precise, so unfecling—the marshal had the heart of a flint. The artful intendant probably perceived the mutterings‘ of the brewing storm, and was preparing himself a refuge when its fury should sweep over the land. 80 it came to pass that old Desormes, by dint of cunning hints, threw most of the blame of his acts on the seignenr, and acquired for himself a sort of consideration by painting M. de Mirepoix of demonioc blackness. Yet, somehow or other, grind and screw as Desormcs might, very little of the golden stream wrung out of hard pinched toil flowed into the coffers of the lord. The mare chal sometimes had to borrow, at usurious interest, from Desormes himself, or from a Paris Jew, thegold pieces be staked at ombre or Dorset; and while the plundered villagers of Mery were cursing monseignenr, monseigneur was at the court, with empty pockets, smearing at the rascally intendant who fattened on him! Why was not Desormes dismissed? Ah ! there the biographer loses his lucidity, and recurs to rumor and common fame. Rumor declared that M. do Mirepoix was afraid of his steWnrd, who held him in check by a secret. Common fame soul that Desormes kept under lock and key 391118 mysterious letters of M. to Merechal, the disclosure of which to his Majesty the King, would have opened the gates of the Bastile, and given the governor of that inter esting fortress another guest of rank. The great storm burst, and the aristocracy of France had the alternative of death or exile. The old marechal was dead; his widow, whose jointure was formed by the Provencal estates, emigrated and sought safety in Germany. We all know hy how summary process the estates of_the emtgrants were sold—what. good bar gnlfls Were mode at the time—howstutely cha teaux were purchased for a less amount than Would have paid for the building of their very orangenes and oflices—and how 'broad acres were olfcred for sale until the market was glut ted- Among the buyers, of course. was Citizen Dcsox'm_eB. lex intendant of the aristocrats Veurc Mtrcpolx, Justly deprived of his lands for anti civtsrp, and escaping from the guillotine to a. crust and a gar-rel: at. Vienna. It was said that Dcsorqlcs bribed the commissaz‘res of the new reputh, and got the farms and woodlands fol‘ less than- others were willing to give; but such scandals Were common at that. time, when f 0!“ tones were made or overturned in a day. At any rate, Desormes turned republican. saved his neck. and, with what he had amassed in his stewardship. bought half the Mirepoix estate. In 1800 he was growing old and frail; but by this time the red fever had cooled down, the rule of Napoleon was looming in the future, and M. Deeormes. no longer Citizen, was fawned upon as the richest man in the arondissement. He had 30.000 livres of annual revenue, and, like a true provincial Erenohman, did not spend a third of his income. No wonder that his daughter, Marie Desormes, had suitors in plenty. Her inheritance was a glittering bait that. magnetized the susceptible bachelors of the department. Mafia was handsome enough, and good enough, and sprightly enough :0 have been loved for her own sake. One, and only one, of her many admirers did love her for her own sake—Pierre Loscunt, a young farmer of the neighborhood. They hm). played together as children; Pierre had gathered the daisies and eeurlet poppies that Mario wove into crowns and ropes of flowers; Pierre had climbed the tree to shake down the walnuts into his little playmmc’s apron. But of all the pretenders to pretty Marie’s hand, Pierre Lescant, though at, once the handsomest, the mauliest, the best, was, alas! the poorest ; and in acountry where there is ‘so intimate a. connection between money-making and matchmaking, Plums is generally lord of the ascendaut. Everybody expected that. old M. Desormes— a. choleric, tyrannical old fellow in most rela tions of life, as are many whose early servitude l has forced them into a. supple obsequiousness foreign to their true naiures-Wolll(l compel Marie to accept the suit. of old Colin llegrisson, who was lame, squinting and sixly; but. who lmd feathered his nest. gloriously when the emigrants’ lands were brought. to the hammer, and louis were scarce in France. Colin Legris— son was the richest. of Marie’s admirers; Pierre Lescant was the nccdicsl. Could M. Descrmes hesitate? New, curious] y enough, M. De’sormcn (lid hesitate. Thatunscrupulous, grasping-man had one soft spot in his flinty hen-rt. ; he really low-d his daughter, and none the less, perhaps, because she was Llie only object on which those yenrnings of affection, of which even the worst of us are capable, could expend themselves.— DeSHrmr-s had lost; his wife yours and years ago, when Marie was still on infant. He had no other child. He was alwuyé. kind to his (laughter—that. is, he never beat nor scolded , her, 'to the wonder of the neighbors, for he was ‘ a hard master, and had become a severe land -1 lord, us soon as the mob-law of early Jacobin , ism had sufiicicntly died out. to render unpopu ‘ larity safe; and his voice, in speaking to l Marie, was never the harsh sarcastic voice ‘ which his debtors knew and trembled at.— Accordingly, old Desormcs shrank from com i polling Marie’s choice. He took good care to 1 let. her know that he would wish her acceptance 1 of lame. squinting, old Colin Legrisson; but 1 he did not absolutely command it. The maiden was not without sense and spirit; she dctcatod Colin and loved Pierre. To force her to give up the second, and marry the first, would be difficult, her father thought, but by no means impossible for his iron will; but it. could only be etfected by severity, by violence—Marie must be broken, not. bent. And she might, die, and he would be left alone—for young girls’ hearts are curious things, and he had known than capable of even such bctim us dying, when such cases had occurred—o. childless old men in a world that hated him; and who, 0 who would inherit. the gold he had sold his conscience for? All these things old Decor-mes 'broodcd over, and the result was that he told Moria-he, nopedfihg'woulcl fancy oltleLeg-risson, who had lands and hooves; but. if'notz, why,'he must. trust. some other sozzpimnt'with a snug fortune would be forthcoming. The ex-intencL ant. had no dislike to Pierre Lescunt; he admired the young man’s courage, industry and even his honesty, as people often admire qualities quite removed from their own. But l’ierre Lescant’s term was only a. mere patch of land, and he picked up only a scanty living out, of his little vineyard, and his score or two of olive trees. "Thou shall. never marry a beggar, my girl,” the tax-steward would say, striking his stick on the floor. “If Pierre can Show twenty thousand crowns lournois on the wedding day, good ! I bestow my blesflng, and, what is better, I double the money. But», marry a beggar! thou shalt coifi'er Si. Gama.- rine sooner Ihan that!” Now, to .cafifcr M. auburizze, in French parlance, is to die an old maid. “Ah! Pierre,” said the poor girl, with tears in her eyes, as the lovers walked up and down the garden of Pierre’s form, while the old ser vaut,underwhose chaperonnge Marie had come, sat knitting in an arbor—“An! Pierre, why have you not twenty thousand crowns ‘2 Cannot you ,in any way get twenty thousand crowns?” Pierre groaned, and struck his forehead. “What chance have 1, Marie 2” he rejoined-- “Your father is firm as a. rock, I know, and I can’t blame him, for no one thutjs rich likes his l child to wed with poverty. But what on earth can Ido ‘2 These few poor acres. that vineyard, those olive trees—l might sell them all, and not get a fifth of the money. Twenty thousand crowns! that sum does not grow on the hedges, Ah! but I wish it did.” And Pierre looked quite angrily at his pretty garden, full of bloom ing flowers of every hue, whose mingled fro.- granee floated towards him on the balmy air, and the very hedges of which, as is not unusual in the South, were composed of blush roses. "How I wish, for thy sake, my Marie, that I could coin these flowers into gold 1” . Now, it oftone happens that a word hastily or 1 lightly spoken suffices to give a color and a di rection to the entire thoughts of the speaker or the heater, and perhaps to change his whole career and prospects. “I wish that I could coin those flowers into gold !” Those words of his own haunted Pierre’s car through all the livelong afternoon; long after Marie had left him, long after the shades of evening had begun to embrown the forests, and the bees were co ming back, heavy laden, to the hive, end the rocks were flapping home in sable line. Still Pierre mused and walked alone, with knitted brow and drooping head. What could he do? He loved Marie so dearly. He knew her parent would never go back from his word, never per mit their union, unless he, Pierre, became a rich man. And how to become rich l He looked round at his scanty possessions withn 891" _Of despair.

But the flowers! They were brlght, and varied, and numerous; for on; garden was very large. compared with the Size of the Pmperly, and Pierre’s father had *3“? head gardener at the Chateau de MimPOIX In his youth, and had stocked his own .grouud‘, no doubt, with many a. slip and shoot of plants rare in France at that time. The, garden was renowned for its beauty and fragrance for leagues around; and when a wedding took place, Pierre Lescant was’ always petitioned to furnish o. bouquet for the bride from the treasures of living gems that flourished in 1115 pnrt'erres. Pierre could net get the roses and gernnlums out of his head; their perfume, their hnlllancy seemed to haunt him since his internew with Marie. That evening, as he sat alone amid his poor furniture of brown walnut wood, in his white washed room, he revolved many vague ideas in his head, and sighed as common sense seemed to overrun all his card aestles one after another.

In his dream he saw himself surrounded by the choicest, hlog sums of his garden, but they “,ode brighter than before; the (low that Spangled them glit— teretl diamond drops; the fragrance of their mingled breath entranced him, and closed him." in like 3 sweet vapor; their boss were an bril liant as if every rose~leaf had been changed into n. ruby, every lily into a. pearl of the Orient... And, lo! wonder of wonders, the petals expan< (led, and forth from every blossom peeped a. fairy—:l. fairy with waving wand, and starry wings, and jeweled diadem; and the entrancing strains of tiny but exquisite music. the music of Elflnnd floated in the scent-ladened air. Then the fairies mocked and derided, with small pools of silvery laughter, the blindness of the mortal. who would ooin flowers into gold. and knew not how; and Pierre winced in his sleep at. the laughter and elfin scorn. But. the grover and kiuoer queen of the fairies moved her wand.— “Hc loves,” she said; “he is no miser, seeking wealth for itself. Let. us befriend him, tor Ma rie’s sake." And then every flower opened still wider, and ovary fairy pointed downward with her wand, and, behold! Ilcep in each blossomed cup lay heaps of fairy gold piled up; and strug gling up from tiny mines and shafts that led tar into the dark earth, come endless crowds of little gnomes, bearing 'gold to add to the myriad hoops; and tho foiriés cried in their shrill voieeg s—" Thus may flow-n3 ho coined into gold!” Then the fragrant mist. grew thicker ; and sweeter, till fairies, flowers, g- id, and l gnomes vanished away in it, and nothing was ; seen but. mist. And Pierre awoke, with the ‘ scent: ofthe blossoms overpowering him. It. was early morning—the sun was streaming on Me time, the dew was drying away. the early perfumes of the rose garden come through the open window of the room. Now, Whether the dream suggested the recollection of long~forgot ton remarks that; his 'i‘mh'er had sometimes made, or whether the recollection of such re marks was the true origin of the dream. I do not pretend to say ; at. any role, Pierre, with an anxious but hopeful face, trudged through the fields towards the town of Grosse. In Grasso there dwelt and old Italian druggist- and herba list, who had a mean bare shop. and picked up but a mean bare living by his traffic in simples and confections. He was a native of Florence, and had a reputation for learning : but few cus tomers were attracted by the stufl’ed alligator over the door, and the dusty shay and jars, and ‘ bottles, and the long lean figure of the maestro ‘ himself, and his suit. of rusty block. In short, he was just: such an npothecory as Romeo se lected for the purveyor of the deadly drought, and to his half empty Shop did Pierre Lesoant, another luckless lover, repair, but. not for poi— j son. Long was the conversation between the l young Provencal furmm- and the old druggist, l and it ended in the latter‘s accompanying ' Pierre homewortls. with a. gleam of unusual l excitement on his lean brown face. The apolhecary spent-hours in Pierre Les cant’s garden, going from flower to flower, anifling, ogli'ng’, and oven tasting petal and pol.- leu, ands amen, gazing at thehuds through a horn-mounted magnifying glass, and chuckling the while in a strange ghostly way. The neighbors, who had some BuSpiclon that the gaunt stranger in sable was a wizard, stored and wondered. More heartily did they wonder, a. little later, when Pierre was seen shifting his fences, andday after day, enlarging his garden. Now he took in a slip of vineyard, now :1. corner of his fields; anon he won: ol'r' to the forest with his men, to search for fine block mould; and next. dny he was busy grafting, sowing, cutting, and Irausplantiug among his flower 'beds. He was enlarging his already ample garden. That; was odd enough ; but when, insteud of stocking the ground with pulse and pothcrbe, Pierre actually begun I!) cultivate flowers with tender solicitude and skill on e'very spore inch of earth, the whole neighborhood was up in arms. He was pelted with good advice. Let him grub up all those use'ess flower-stocks, and grow honest leeks and garlic, if he wished to be thought a. man of sense. Pierre was firm. liis friends said he was ob stinotc, foolish, mad; very likely bewitched by that loan llaliou wizard from the town, who was now always to be seen coming up and whispering to Pierre, and who was after no good, doubt-less. The neighbors were quite angry with Pierre; old and young predicted his ruin; old Desormos pronounced him an idiot. Marie alone encouraged her lover, shared his hopes, prayed for his success. and cheered him as only a. faithful Women can cheer a struggling man. That was a good year for the olives, and a. decent vintage, and Pies-roman aged to rub on, neither saving nor spending more than he could afi‘ord. ... The short winter passed, spring and summer came on. The flowers were more glorious and plentiful than ever in Pierre’s now very extended garden. The old Italian chuckled as be marked them. Then came a. great gathering of blos soms,and Mario come to help in the picking of the flowers, and the old Italian rubbed his _ bony hands with exultmiou. Anon, his furnace l was noted to be strangely active; he was per ‘ pcluolly at work, brewing, simmering, and dia tilling. The Icon Italian was a man of Skill; he succeeded in producing—thanks to the rare flowers in Pierre’s garden—essences and per fumes equal to the dainticst Florence _could all’ord. IL was on era. of ultra-nationality.— Jogcphine, the then adored wife of the first Consul, was asked by a deputy of the South. 11 pmon ofthe druggist’s, to accept the dedication of the new discovery. Josephine consented.— Paris followed suit. Giacomo Framinclli and Pierre Lcscnnt sold their whole smck at a high rate. All the flowers in Pierre’s gardcowould not, multiplied lenfold,h:lvc supplied the de mand that sprung up with mushroom rapidity. Pierre throw all the land he had into the com : pass of his garden fence; he bought more land; he reared more and more flowers. The fairies had spoken truth; flowers were, indeed, by a delicate alchemy, transmitted into gold, and soon it. was difiioult, in the portly, Well-fed Italian, clad in glossy black, to recognize the rusty scarecrow of other days. And Pierre and Marie, their share of the joy and success was the purest and the fullest —- Before the end of the second summer the bells rung, and the girls of the village strewed flow: ers in the path of Marie, 115. garlauded With flowers herself, blushing, proud, radiant, the passed along on her husband’s arm, from the chapel to her home, a happy bride. Old De— sormes had been won over; success, wit, strength of mind and will, the old tax-steward. could appreciate at their full value; and, al though the prescribed sum of twenty thousand crowns were not yet. realized, Pierre was on the highway of fortune. He had, in truth, founded a new industry, the moat poetic, and. not ”l 5 least profitable in France. Around Ins garden. there gradually sprang up other gardens; and flowers and seeds were bought in Italy, and. other stills than those of old Giacomo dropP9d fragrant, easenceg, and the odorous trace of Grasse extended daily.
