THE USE OF FLOWERS.
God niight have liatlc the earth bring forth
Enough for great and sritall,
The oak tree and the cedar tree,
\Vithout a flower at all ;
VVG might have had enough, enough
For every want ofours.
For luxury, medicine, and toil,
And yet have had no flowers.
l
The ore within the mountain ttiiue
Requiretli none to grow,
Nor doth it need the lotus flower,
To make the riverflow;
The clouds might givc_a'nunrlant rain;
Phe nightly dews iriiglit fall;
And the herbthat kecpeth We in man,
Might yet have drunk them all.
Then wbrrefore, wherefore were they made,
All dyed with rainbow light,
All fashioned with supremest grace,
Upspringing day and night?
Springing in valleys green and low,
And on the mountain high.
And in the silent wilderness,
Wlicrc no man passes by ? ,
Oijr outward life requires them not.
' ‘ .I.‘llE.§ll.\’£'ll[‘l'E‘Il)l'C have they birth.’
In miiiister delight to man,
To beaiitify the earth ;
To comfort riinn-—lo whisper hope,
\Vhene'cr his faiitli is dim;
For who so caretli for the flowers

\Vhen from the flower oflife has fled
'I liesweetness ofits early bloom,
And o'er its fading tints are shed
'l‘lie dark, cold shadows of the tomb ;
0, then for hopes we cease to care.
That light us not to worlds on high,
But forms of seeming brightness wear,
And. as we think to grasp them, fly!
Wlten, bright but fleet as morning dew,
From Pleasure's cup the sparkle flies,
And Love but feeds a flame, iftrue,
That even as he lights it, dies;
Friendless and lone, by sorrow tried,
0, tlieu we turn from earthly bliss,
To worlds where purer spirits bide,
Beyond the false, cold smiles ofthis!

VVhife :1 boy at school, Isaw him for the
first time; it was when he was passing
hroiigh New-England to take the command.-
in chief of the American 'arinie§‘ at Cam-
bridge. 1‘-Ievershall I forget the impression
his imposing presence then made upon my
young jmagiiiation ; so superior did he seem
to me to .all that I had seep or imagined of
the human form‘ for striking effect. I re-
member with what delight, in my after
studies, I came to the line in Virgil that ex-
pressed all the enthusiasmof my own feel-
ings, as inspired by that presepce, and which
I could not often enough repeat:
‘_Credo eqiiitlerri. ncc vana fides, genus csse deo-
rum."'
I gaw him again at his interview with
Rqphcyntbcau, when they met to settle the
plan of combined operations between the
chairs from 125 to 18s. Call soon ifyou wish to French flee, and the American armies,
aga_i_ st the British on the Chesapeake ; and
then "saw the imrnense crgtvd drawn togeth-
er from all the neighboring towns, to get, if
ossible, one look at the man who had thron-
ed himself every heart. Not one of that
immenseicrowd doubted the final triumph of
his country in her arduous conflict; for eve-
ry one saw, or thought he saw ll}. W_/'a.sltzn.g-
ton, her guardian angel, commissioned by
Heaven to _insure her that triumph. Nil
desperandum was the moth? Wltll eV91‘Y 01?‘?-
‘Nil desperandum,Teucro duce, auspice Teiicro.’
In after life, when the judgment corrects
the extravagance of early impressions, I saw
him on several occasions, but saw nothing at
either to admonish me of any extravagance
in my early impressions. The impression
was still the same; Iliad the same overpow-
ering sense of being in the presence ofsome
superior beinoa ’ _
It is indeed remarkable, and I believe
unique in the history of men, that I’,V(l.§/Z:
ington made the same impression upon a,l
minds, at all places and at once. When his
fame first broke upon the world, it spread at
once over the whole world. By the consent
of mankind-—by the universal sentiment-—he
was placed at the head of the human spe-
cies; above all envy, because above all emu-
lation: for no one then pretended, or has
retended to be——at least who has been al-
Iowed to be—-—the co-rival of YVash_ington in
fame. ‘
Wlieii the great Frederick of Prussia sent
his portrait to }Vashingtori, with this inscrip-
tion upon it, “ From the oldest General in
Europe to the greatest Geiieral in the ivorld,”
he did but echo the sentiment of all the Chi-
_v;i=lry of ;Et,t,ropc. Nor was .t
t
he sentinieiit been p1'0mlSL‘
confined to Europe, nor to the bounds of
civilization: for the Arab ofthe Desert talk-
ed of \Vashington in his lent; his nanio
ivzindcrcd with the wandering Scythian, and
was cherished by him as a household word
In all his migrations. No climc was so bar-
barous as to be a stranger to the name; but
cvcry where, and by all mcit, that name was
placed at the saineooint of elevatioii. and
-'tl:]0_\'e cornpcer. As it. was in the beginning,
sort IS now; of the future we cannot speak
with certainty. Some future ago, in the
endlcss revolutions of time, may produccan-
other VVashitigton; but the greater pl‘OI):jl)lll-
ty is that he is destined to t'ctnaiii.fo1°et'et', as
he now is, the Phenix of human kind.
I-Vhat 11 possession to his country is
such 11 fame! Such a
“ Clarum et venerabilc llOllt"l'l
“ Gcn(ibus.”’
To all his countrymen it gives, and forever
will give, a passport to respect wherever they
gig, to t_vliatevei' part of the globe; for his
country is in every other identified with that
fame. ’
.- What, then, is incumbent upon us. his
coitntrymenil \‘/hy, to be such :1 people as
shall be worthy of such a fame——a people of
whom it shall be said, “ No wonder such :1
people have produced such a man as ‘Wash-
iugton.” I give you, therefore, this senti-
ntent:

Robert Moultrie was a clerk in the count-

allowed for the se._rvi_ce§ of young men slitti-

The character of this young‘ gentleman
was unimpcachable, and he was as _much rc-
