O'er his shadowy harp with delight.

Ah, the beautiful flowers ! the language they use
How expiessive, bow chaste and refined;
To tell us of virtues we should not refuse,
Of the "graces" of heart and of mind !
Then, my emblem' of friendship, affection, of love,
Is it strange, that I prized you, so dear I
That my heart its regrets should still justly sp•

When the "parting bloom" caused me a tear !
No longer, sweet glowers ! now fabled and dead,
Will your perfume my senses delight ;
No more in my studio,rdlearleas, he ahed
In profusion from morn until night.
Then farewell, my bouquet, my chererished bou

To tell us of beauties fast fading sway.

[From the Cincinnati Gazette:
OMAN, BEHOLD THY SON.
BY BIM lIABRIET BSECITBIL STOWE
Tho golden rays of a summer afternoon
were streaming through the windows of a
quiet apartment where everything was the
picture of an orderly repose. Gently and
noiselessly it glides, gilding the glossy old
chairs polished by years of care ; fluttering
with flickering gleam on the book oases,
by the fire and antique China vases on the
mantel, and even coquetting with sparkles
of fanciful gaiety over the face of a perpen
dicular sombre old clock, which thought
at times apparently coaxed almost to the
verge of a smile, still continued its inevita
ble tick as for a century before.
On the hearth rug lay outstretched a
great Maltese cat evidently enjoying the
beam that fell upon his sober sides and
sleepily opening and shutting his great
green eyes as if lost in luxuriant contem
plation.
But the most characteristic feature in the
whole picture, was that of an angel wom
an, who sat quietly rocking to and fro, in
a great chair by the side of a large round
table covered with books. There was a
quiet beauty in that placid face—that sil
very hair brushed neatly under the snowy
border of the cap. Every line in that fur
rowed face, told some tale of sorrow long
assuaged and passions hushed to rest; as
on the calm ocean shore the golden fur
rowed sand show traces of storms and fluc
tuations long past.
On the round green covered table beside
her lay the quiet companion of her ago,
the largo bible, whose pages like the gates
of the celestial city, were not shut all day;
a ft w old standard books, and the pleasant
ripling, knitting, whose dreamy irresponsi
ble monotony is the best music Of the age.
A fair girlish form was seated by the
table—the dress bonnet had fallen back on
her shoulders, the soft cheeks were sufferd
and earnest, the long lashes and veiled
eyes were eloquent of subdued feelings as
she read aloud from the letter in her hand.
It was from "our Harry"—a name to both
of them comprising all that was dear and
valued on earth, for he was "the only son
of his mother, and she wns a widow"—yet
he had not always been an only one ; flow
er after flower on the tree of her life had
bloomed and died, now gradually as waters
cut off from many channels, the streams
of love had centered deeper in this last and
unly one.
Anti in truth Harry Sergeant was all that
a mother might desire or be proud of.—
t ienerous, high minded, witty and talent•

development, he seemed born to command
the love of woman. Th 3 only trouble with
him was in common parlance that he was
too clover a fellow—he was too itnpresible,
too versatile, too attractive, and too much
in demand for his own good. Ile always
drew company about hun as honey does
flies, and was indispensable everywhere,
and to everybody, and it needs a steady
head and firm nerves for such a one to es
eapo ruin.
Harry's course in college, though 'bril
liant in scholarship, had been critical and
perilous. HO was a decided favorite with
the faculty and students, yet it required a
great deal of hard working and adroit man
agement on the part of his instructors to
bring him through without any infringe
ment of college laws and proprieties, not
that ho over meant the least harm in his
life, but that some extra generous impulse,
some Quixotish generosity was always
tumbling him neck and heels into some
body's scrapes and making him part and
parcel iu every piece of mischief that was
going on.
With all this premised, there h% no need
to say that Harry was a special favorite of
the ladies ; in truth, it was a confessed
fact among his acquaintainces, that where
as dozens of creditable, respectable, well-to
do young men, might besiege female hearts
with all proper formality, waiting at the
gates, and watching at the posts of the doors
in vain, yet before him all gates and pas
sages seemed to fly open of their own ac
cord; nevertheless there was in his native
village ono quiet maiden, who alone held in
her hand the key that could unlock his
heart in yeturn, and carried ailetitly in her
heart the spell that could fetter that bril
liant restless spirit; and she it was of the
thoughtful brow and down cast eyes whom
we saw in our picture bending over the let
ter with his mother.
That mother harry loved to idolatry.—
She was to his mind an impersonation of
'all that was lovely, in womanhood, hallow
ed and sainted by age, by wisdom, by sor
row, and his love for her was a beautiful
I union of protective tenderness, with yeller
' atiou, and to his Ellen it seemed the beet
the most sacred evidence of the nobleness
of his nature, and of the worth of the heart
which ho had pledged to her.,
Nevertheless, there was danger over
hanging the heads of the three ; a little
cloud, no biger than a man's hand, rising
in the horizon of their hopes, yet destined
toburst upon them dark and dreadful in a
I future, day.
In those scenes of college hilarity where
Tiarry had deen so indispensibte, the bright
poetic, Wino cup hid freely circulated, and
often amid the A fiush of conversation and
the genial excitement of 'the hoar, he
drank free and deeper than was best.
He , said, it is tree, that he. cared noth,
ing for it, that, it was, nothing to Win, that
it never affected him, and all those things
that young men alVrays say, when the cup
of Cires is beginning toterk with them.—
"friends were annoyed, became anxious,
remenstrated, but he laughed at their'
fears, and insisted on knowing himself
best. At last, with ti Audden start and
ahiver,of his moral nature, lie was awoke
to a dreadful perception of his danger, and
resolved on decided and determinate resis
tance. , During this- period he same te

and at this time the temperance reforma
tion was in the full tide of success there,.

lution ; temperance meetings and speeches
were all the mode—young men of the first

wine was quite in.the vocative, and seem
ed really in danger of being voted out of
society. In such a turn of affairs, to sign
a temperance pledge and keep it became an
easy thing; temptation was aearee presen
ted or felt, he was offered the glass in no
circle, met its attraction now here, and flat
tered himself that he had escaped so great
a danger so easily and so completely.
Hisiumal fortune of social popularity
followed him, and his visiting circle became
full as large and importunate as a young
man with any thing else to do need'desire.
He was dilligent it, his application to bus
iness, began to be montroned with appro
bation by the magnates' as a rising young
man, and had prospects daily nearing of
'competence and home, and all that man
desires ; visions, alas, never to be re
alized.
For after a while, the tide that had limn
so high, began imperceptibly to decline.
Men that had made eloquent speeches on
temperance had now other things to look
to ; fastidious persons thought that mat
ters had been carried too far, and ladies
declared that it was old and threadbare,
and getting to be cant and stuff, and the
ever ready wine cup was gliding back into
many a circle, as if on sober second
thoughts the community was convinced
that it was a friend unjustly belied.
There is no point in the history of re
form either in communities or individuals
so dangerous as that where danger seems
entirely past. As long as a man thinks
his health failing, he watches, he diets, and
will nndergo the most heroic self denial ;
but let him once set himself down as cured,
and how readily does he fall back to one
indulgent habit after another, all tending to
ruin everything that he has done before.
So in communities ; let intemperance
rage and young men go to ruin by dozens,
and the very evil inspires the remedy ;
but when the trumpet lies been sounded
and the battle set in array, the victory on
ly said and sung in speeches and newspa
per paragraphs, and temperance odes and
professions, then comes the return wave ;
people cry enough, the community vastly
satisfied, lay &Own to sleep, on its laurels,
and then comes the hour of danger.
But let not the man, who has once been
swept down the stream of intemperate ex
citement almost to the verge of ruin,
dream of any point of security for him.—
He is like one who has awakened in the
rapids of Niagara, and with straining oar
and mild prayers to heaven, forced his boat
upward into smoother water, where the
drift of the current seems to cease, and the
banks smile and all looks beautiful, anti
weary from rowing, lays by his oars to rest
and dream i Ir knows that ender than
smooth water still glides a current, that
while he dreams, is imperceptibly but
surely hurrying him back whence there
is no return.
Harry was just in this perilious point ;
he viewed danger as long past, his sell
confidence was lolly restored, and in his
security, he began to neglect those lighter
out-works of caution which be must still
guard who does not mean, at last, to sur
render the citadel.
PART II
"Now girls, and boys, "said Mrs. G. to
her sons and daughters. who were sitting
round a centre table covered with notes of
invitations, all the preliminary et cetra of
a party—"what shall we have on Friday
night—tea—colree—lemonade—wine ?
of course not."
"And why not %vine, mama ? said the
young ladies—"the people are beginning
to have it—they had wine at Mrs. A's. end
Mrs. M's."
"Wen, your papa thinks it won't do—
the boys are members of the temperance
society, and I don't think, Bids, it will do
myself."
There are a good many persons by the
by who always view moral questions in
this style of phraseology—not what is
right, but what will "do."
The girls made an appropriate reply to
this view of the subject by showing that
Mrs. A. and Mrs. B. had done the thing
and nobody seemed to make any talk.
"The boys," who thus far in the con
versation had been thoughtfully rapping
their boots with their canes, now Inter
posed and said that they would rather not
have'wine if it wouldn't look shabby.
"But it will look shabby," said Miss
Fanny. "Lemons you know are scarce
to be got (or any price, and as for lemon
are made of syrup, it's positively vulgar
and detestable. it tastes just like cream
of tartar and spirits of turpentine."
"For my part." said Emma, "I never did
see the harm of wine, even when people
'trete making the most fuss about it—to
be sure rum and brandy and all that are
bad, but wine—."
"And so convenient to get," said- Fan
ny, and no decent young man ever gets
drunk at parties, so it can't do no harm ;
besides one must have something, and as I
said it will look shabby not to have it."
Now there ia noimputation that young
men are so much aNaid of, especially
front the lips of ladies, vs that of shatiby
nese, and as it happened in this eat.) as
most others that the young ladies were
the most efficient talkers, the question was
finally carried on their aide,
Mrs. 6. vies a motherly woman, just
the'one fitted to inspire young men with a
confidence and that home feeling which
all men desire to find aomewhere. Her
.house. was a free and easy social ground
for most of the young people of her ac
quaintance, and Hsrry wits a favorite do
mesticated visitor.
During the temperance reform, fathers
and brothers had given it either open and
decided support and Mrs. G. alseys ries
enlisted for any good movement; sym
pathised Warmly in their enveavors.. The
great fault was that too often incident in

much the result Of Mere sympothy, too lit-

people. --
"Nothing more likely," replied she gai

past history and temptations, and had she
not been in just the inconsiderate state that
very good ladies sometimes get into at

her right hand than to hive thrown 4his
observation into the scales, but she did,
and they turned the balance for MID.-
"You shall be my doctor," lie said, as
laughing and coloring he drained the glass,
and where was the harm ? One glass of
wine killed nobody, and yet if a man falls
and knows that in that glass he sacrifices
principle and conscience, every drop may
be poison to the soul and body.

From that night his struggle of moral re

struggle grew weaker, each reform short

the close of the evening all those friends,

selves that everything had gone on so well
that the next week Mr. H. thought that it
would do to give wine at a party because
Mrs. G. had done it last week and no harm

but deeper furrows on the worn cheek and
a weary heavy langor over the pale
peaceful face told that those grey hairs had
been brought down in sorrow to the grave.
Sadder still was the story on the cloudless

tendency of habitually using indecent and

up, you will find at your tongue's end
