‘We have a Little Flower.
BY A. BILL. '
VVe have a little flower,
A tiny, fragile thing,
Close sheltered in its bower,
Unfolding with ilie spring,
So delicately heautilul—so exquisitely fair.
That Flora, in her bright domains, hath noth-
ing to compare.
It lifts its lit.tle head,
Each irioi'nii'.}z. with the sun,
And on its gentle bed,
It droops when day is gone,’
In peacr».f'ul innocence to sleep the quiet night
away,
Then greets the merry morn again, on each
successive day.
0, it is passing sweet.
As any rose can Je,
And as we chalice. to meet,
It seems to smile. on me,
;So tenderly-——-so joyously——I clasp it to my
heart,
And feel a throb of pain, to think that we must
ever part.
’Tis difficult to rear
So delicate ii flower;
And 0, how much we fear
That some o’erinasiei-ii'ig power,
For purposes to us unknown, may tear it hence
away,
And leave our stricken hearts to mourn its pre-
inature decay.
\Ve nurse it cai'efully,
And’all our arts we ply,
To fit it as we may. "
For its own native sky.
’Tis not indigenous to oartli, but an exotic here,
Just blossoming like other flowers—-—like them
to disappear.
The sun may shine too bright—’—
The breeze may kiss too strong——
The chilly dumps of night,
Continuing too long,
May wither, blast, or chill it, while most. ten-
derly it clings
Around the parent stem, and dies, as other beau-
- te-JUS things.

Tg'me’s Changes.—A late letter in the
Concordia lntelligencer, has the following
notice of a gentleman who died recently
in Mexico:
Among the recent deaths he-rel notice
one that scarcely attracted a passing re-
mark, yet he was a man who 20 years
ago stood at the head of society.-—Martin
Duralde. Born of an influential and afHu-
cnt family in Attakapas, extensively con-
nected, augmenting his heriditary fortune.
by successful investments, married to the
daughter of the Il%n. Henry Clay, who
was then at the zenith of his popularity
and power, Mr. Diiralde was on all sides
courted, consulted, and caressed. But
reverses overtook him; city property rap-
idly ran down; his wife died; his friends
diminislied with his fortune; and, at the
commencement of the Mexicaii “far, this
man, once so rich, so popular and so lion-
ored found himself obliged, for subsistence,
[0 follow our march with a few packages
of merchandize. He recently embarked
on a trading schooner, at Tampico, to re-
turn home. The deadiy fever of that
coast swept off’every one of the crew but
a small bov, and when the vessel, after
beating about in the gulf finally made the
bar ofithe river, with a signal of distress,
the captain was found dead on a pallet,
and the unfortunate Duraltle by his side in
in the last agonies, and no medicine, no
water, scarcely a ration of food on board.
What an illustration of the vanity and vi-
cissitudes of life!

A 'l‘er:'ii)3e. Lcsso-n.
One evening, some weeks since there
came into our oflice, a man of some thirty-
five years of age, in a state of almost help-
less drunkenness. Seating himself upon
a stool, he threw back his cap, which in
the effort fell upon the floor, and “ strit. ing
an attitude,” as we say of the players
sometimes, he asked if we had.ever seen
him before. After an examination, we
told him that we did not recollect ever
having that honor. He then said the last
time we met, was at Baltimore, at the
great VVhig Convention in 1Sl-L. We re-
membered him at once. lie was then
editing a leading Whig paper in that stare,
with marked success, and was an honored
delegate to that Convention, though he
and had been ‘much addicted to iniemper-
ance- He now stood before us in a state
of‘loai.lisome ilrurrkenness, and asl{(‘(l the
privilege ofislceping upon the office floor.
We t.old him that we could not do that-
that in spite of his condition, we could
not be content to give a fellow craftsman,
whom we had known in better days, so
poor ac.c.ommodations as that, but he ut-
terly refused to accept anything else. We
finally spread down a large lot of our old
exchanges, and fixed him up as comforta-
ble as we could, and left him for the night.
In the morning we found him sober and
rational, and we embraced the opportunity
to talk to him of his habits, tkougli we
had small hope of good from it, notwith-
standing his most solemn promises. He
wanted to borrow five dollars. \-Ve had
no money to lend to such as he, but we
gave him freely a small sum of money—~
more than was for his good, we apprehend,
had seen strange vicissitudes in his day, '
ble woman. Lord Bollingbroke was a‘
great man. .
Loves Forgegfulness.-—lt is said that poor
men always make love better than those
who are rich, because having less to care
about, and not being puffed up with their
own consequence, they" are not selfish,
and "think more of the lady than them-
selves. Young ladies also, who fall in
love, never consider wlietlier there is suf-
ficient “to support the cuz'.sjz'ne.” Proba-
bly young Iad'c-s in love lose their appe-
tites, arid not feeling inclined to eat at
that time, they imagine that love will al-
ways supply tlic want of food. They dis-
cover their mistake after the lioncymoon,
when their appetites return..
T/1e"1'u.-o Lovers ——Tli:- tender passion
affects indiviiluals differently. One class
of lovers seldom get beyond the lengthof;
ll?-'l’L11it:!i. Tliey will play Willi ll(.'flI"l..-..,
and break them without remorse. 'l'liey
hence become selfish and siispittioiis, and
take care never to commit themselves
without an extreme cl:--;__i-rce of deliberation.
Another class are the absolute victims of
the ladies. \Vhenever they fall in love,
they do it with an earnestness and an ob
stinacy which are almost appalling. The
adored object of their affections can twine
them round her finger, quarrel with them,
caricature them, or flirt with'otliers, with-
out the least risk of severing the cord of
attachment. They become as tame as
poodle-dogs, will submit patiently to any
manner of cruelty or capricc, and, in fact,
seem rather to be grateful for such treat-
ment than otherwise. Vlfliicli do the la-
dies like the best? ~» '
The Search for I-’leasure.—-I-low little do
and he left us with the most heartfelt
thanks for our kind deeds and kind words_ ,
We heard no more from him until lasll
V-'0€‘li, wlien We came across an item stag,
ting that a man named Thompson was!
drowned in Lawrence. Though we had:
no Lriowledgc of his \Vll€l’(’l.llJOUlS., we!
thought instantly that it was he. .The
truth realized our anlicipations. It was
Henry G. Tliompson, a man connected
with some of the best families in" the State
of decided talent and genius, who, but
for the terrible habit of intemperance
might have filled ‘a prominent place in so-
ciety.
The lesson should not be lost.. To our
readers he is unknown, but there is hardly
one of them who does not know of parallel
cases, less distinguished perhaps, and not
so shockingly fatal. We can name them
by scorcs—rnen possessing every natural.
qualification to adorn society, but \‘\"’l(),’:
instead of ornaments, have become its?
pests. That man who goes reeling homel
to his family, night after night, was oncel
its ornament and pride. The appetite for]
strong drinl.: was indulged in, and now,i
instead-of the intelligent and gentlemanlyl
citizen, he is at times little better than a'
drivelling idiot. These things come from
very small beginnings. The young men
whoindulge even in an occasional glass,
of wine on festive occasions, may escape}
this encl,po.v.9i'l)l_i/——tliey think they shal I
escape it—so did poor Thompson—so did
every man who now fills :1 drunkard’s
grave, or is reeling towards it. But they
should know that there is no safety but in
abstinence. “The appetite grows with
what it feeds on and there is not one of
them, who may not come to as sad an end
as his who has called forth this article.——
Let the young men of this community
think of these things, and be warned.

ridiculous and ill bred, but guests ought

life they are sources of serious disturbance
to others as well as to the actors.
Woman the Conqueror.—lt is saying
something for the heart of man, when it
is proved that a woman can command him
as apuppet made especially to obey her;
for the man is not to be envied who can be‘
deaf to the wiiching solicitations ofa fair
petitioner. He who has determined not
to accede to a request she has made, need
not be ashamed ofhis weakness, if she at
length compel him to yield implicit obedi-
ence to' her will. The heart yielding thus
to viroirian, feels aihappy expansion—a.
weakness that,is as delightful as itis re-
fining. The yielding thaws th.e_ icebergs
of'th'e_.wo,_rld_ling’s soul, and lifts, the mon-
ey grub, to tho_iights of ge_ntlen,es_s,; it
thrusts out,se,lfi_shness from thcyrich man’s
breast, and_._wins ac,kn,_owledgine_nt’ of. love
from all. i ' '
’ » Consult f/Le Lm_117es.—When lam making
we know, when we blindly pursue some
vvishcd-for object, fancying that, when at-
tained, it will realize our fondest anticipa-
tions——how little do we know that we may,
in fact, be seeking our own misery; or at
least, that disappointment may ensue, and
that_tl;e greatest pleasure the prize was
capableof affording may have consisted
in its pursuit’!
Queen Iflizabct/i at her Stur.l2°e3.—-Tlie
Queen’s habits, though studious, were not
of the gentlest kind ; and the services she
exacted from her attendants was not home
without concealed murmurs. Sir John
Stanliope writes to Sir Robert Cecil in
1598:———“I was all the a-fterrrowne with
her majestie, at my books; and their
thinking to rest me, went in agayne with
your.l'etter. Slio hath hen all tliis daye
reasonably quyett. Mr. Grevell is abserii
and am tyéd so I cannot styrr, but shall
heat the wourse for yt, these toodayesl”
Her writing is _extremely beautiful and
correct, as may be seen by examining a
little manuscript book of prayers, preserved
in the British Museum. Her first writin_r_r
book is preserved at Oxford in the Bod-
leim Library; the gradual improvement
in her l1'lflj€Si._V’S liand-writing is very lion-
ourable to her diligence; but the most
curious thing is the -paper on which she
tried her pens; this she usually did by
writing the name of her beloved brother
Edward; a proof of the early and ardent
attachment she formed to that amiable
prince.
How to be ./}'m2'ub/e.——In order to render
ourselves amiable in society, we should
correct every appearance of harsliness in
our behaviour. That courtesy should dis-
tinguish our demeanour, which springs'
not so much from studied politeness, as
from a mild and gentle heart. If our man-
ners are simple and natural, they will be.
engaging. Affectation is certain defor-I
mity. By forming themselves on fantas-‘
tic models, and vying with one another in
every reigning folly, the young begin
with being ridiculous, and end in being
vicious and immoral.

The shops were hrillianitly illuminatedl
——-a variety of the most splendid goods;
graced everywindow, and solicited thel
purchase of the passengers, as a well '
dressed and handsome man twirled his,
cane and moustaches at the corner of thel
Regent’s Circus. 1
Whether he had an appointment tol
keep,-whetlier mere indifference as to’
whether he should trace his steps, or the
desire of showing his fashionable coat,
caused him to linger on this spot, is not:
exactly known; but the approach of anl
elegant female, showily arrayed, seemed
to fix his purpose, and turning as she
passed him, he followed to address her
just- proportions, and pulling up his collar
with.a.pr.eliminary ‘a-hem’! thus address-
ed her :;
‘If you are not deeply engaged sweet
creature, with yourown thouglits, may I
presume to trespass on your time 7.’
The lady moved oneside the pavement
but made no reply.
‘I really do not wish to monopolize the
pavement, my charmer, but——
‘ If you would allow a lady to pass
along the street, sir, without interruption,
I should think better of you by far, sir,’
replied the lady,_with an air of offended
dignity. -
‘ Then, my lovely. one, that would de-
stroy the object for which I,sough'i. your
company.’- -
‘ .What can you mean sir .7"
‘ The exquisite ‘pleasure ofhearing

ceptance.
‘ You mistake me, sir,’ said she, ‘ I have
never taken a strar_igcr’s arm in the public
streets——my lady mother would be per-
fectly horrified at the idea.’ ‘
‘ She must be a very particular lady
then, indeed.’
-‘ She is; besides, we were never intro-
enced to each other.’
‘ Allow me to introduce myself,’ urged
the gallant, taking from his pocket. 21 card
upon which was engraved in old Ensrlish
cliaracter ‘The Hon. Fitzroy Winstanley;
Belgrave square.’
The lady took the card. and -then ex-
claimed as she read it-—_‘ I assiire you, Mr.
Waistanley, it is the first time I was ever
alone without our footman; but as I am
in the company of a gentleman, l feel con-
f.ir_l,ent that he will protect me from fur-
go’-{gr insult.’
Oiir hero at this pulled up his shirt
collaragain, and replied with the greatest
suavny: '
‘I am but too proud to have the honor
of atteinling so beauieous a creature.’
‘ Don’t flaiter, sir; it’s getting common
place,’ returned the lady.
‘It is_s0 ; but whom may I have‘ the
honor of-addressing 1’
‘The lady Cecilia Pinkerton of Con-
naught Place, and my only fear is——
a——a——’
‘I will protect you with my life, lady,’
replied the Hon. Fitzroy.
‘I trust your gallantry will not be call-
ed in question,’ said the lady, ‘but my
brother, who is a captain of the hussars,'.
often walks this way, and I may meet
him.’ _
‘ Oh, you have a brother in the armyl
Indeed! I wonder I do not know him.’
‘ You then are a soldier, sir 1’ .-
‘I have the honor to be in her m5jesty’s
service.’
‘ In what regiment?’
‘ The Royal Horse Guards Blue.’
‘ And a very fine regiment it" is, sir——
oflicers as well as men.’
Our hero bowed low in ackr.owledg-
ment to the compliment, and declared
that the lady’s judgment was excellent in
military affairs. ’
,. ‘ But now I draw near Connaught Place
let me entreat you to leave me T.’
‘ With a promise to meet again 1’
‘ I really must not.’
‘Never,’ said the Hon. Fitzroy, ‘have
I been in the society of so much worth
and beauty. Let me entreat. you to re-
new this meeting 1’
‘ But should my family become ac
quainted with these circurristarices l’ ‘
‘Can you feign no means to see me '2’
‘Iain strictly guarded; my maid is
almost always in attendance, and at other
times I never go out in the carriage.’
‘Do you ever promenade the gardens
or Hyde Park 7.’
‘ But seldom.’
‘ Can I convey a letier to you 1’
‘ Not to the house; but, if you lil:c,y0ii

Thompson, and leave it at the confection-
er’s close by.’
‘I will not fail.’
‘ Now, let me entreat you to leave me,

What would be the consequence.’
‘ Farewell, then,’ replied the Hon. gal-
,lant, and kissing the tip of his white kids,
walked away.

On the morning following our last
scene, two individuals might be seen in
humble habiliments standing at the desk
in the register’s office for servants. The
clerk had taken down their names, the
one as a valet, the other as a parlor maid
in :1 respectable family.
‘ Five shillings for entry on our books,’
said the clerk when he had finished.
“I am sorry, but-
‘ Spose you liaven’t the money '!’ inter-
rupted the clerk, professionally.
‘Not so much by three-pence,’ replied
the valet.’
‘ Must cross out your name, then,’ said
the clerk. ‘ lt’s no go. Now, ina’-am five
bob if you please.’
‘ I’m extremely sorry, sir, but I am
eighteen pence deficient.’
‘ Then, why did’nt you say so at first 'l’
said the clerk, slamming the book, while
the two out of place gazed in each oth-
er’s faces. They were the Lady Cecilia
and the Hon. Fitzroy VVinst-anley of the
Blues.

and in the nieantiinel, wi_1'l_k_ed_,. into; the’
house, and introduced ‘myself .:o'»,ii1ns;-
Chang, and found her, to be i'1ii'ilé'.a' hiiiid’-‘
‘some young wom'an,just ‘.29.. Her inaidenf
name wasAdelaide Lates,(sistei' of Sarah)’
and her dress and general appéai'uhdé..i~n‘-
-rlicated a’ _degree of tidiness which Mrs.
Eng l'a_(;k‘s';‘, indeed, the peopleabout here"
all say ‘slie is mighty towiiified. Mrs.-'
Cliung’, xyas" married on the samenight as’
her sister, and now has three children,‘
‘viz :_ Joseph in Virginia, nine days young-'_
er than’ Mrs. Eng’s first ;’ Chr'istophe5g'
Wren, eight days’ younger than Mrs..'_

months. These are_all he‘alt,l1y and for‘-'
ward children, but have their father’s’ f__ea-'

“ After having passed SOme,l,llY')_e ..with,’
.\'l Chung, the twins came in, gathered’
up their pipes, and commenced puffing:
away at a great rate. I found tlie‘m'cx"-'
ceedingly sociable, and soon had, them’
fairly engaged in conversi_1tion., My first’;
questioii was,"_‘ l‘l'o'6i" you like farming
They both" replied,‘ ‘ We like him much_;‘
good busincssfor us.-’ Do you ever ex-,
pect to return to your , own con-iitiiy 1+‘
‘ VVe are never going bacl;,_‘}_\i_e_ have wives:
and children here, all Americans, and W6_
are Americans now, too.’ Ilavie you',a',ny",
relations living ‘in Siam’! ‘ We hav',e_,;i'r
mother, now very old. We have only
heard from her twice since we have been"
in this country. Can’t get any body to’;
write Siam to her, and she can’t write’:
American.’ Would" you like to see your
moiherl. ‘Very much.’ Have you mon-.-
ey'! ‘ We have some . in New .Y,ork’L’_.
VVho has charge of it’! ‘Mr.- Bunkei_'.’_
It may be proper here to state, that their,‘
money («‘§~‘»l0,000) is ir.‘e-vsted in a_win’o_’*'
importing company, at six per cent, se-,:
cured by mortgage upon real estatein the
city of New York, and that Mr. "_Bu_nk_'e_r,'
whose name they bear, is their agent...
They draw on him for the ll1tel‘,_(:Sl,:,l)llt:
never touch the principal.’ Their invest-,
ments in North Carolina have allf.b’e'en"
made with the interest of the money.’ ,,
“ The twins can ch_op wood remarkably
fast, four hands being on the axe at the,
same time. Tlieyalso shoot ata mark or_
game, with their four hands resting on the,
gun. They drive their wagon 40 mileis to,-
Wilkes themselves, and do any kind..of,
work about the farm. Mrs. Eng sz_1y_s',th_a_t'
her liusimiid is very kind to the negrocs,-’
and that Chang is very severe with them.’
Mrs. Eng is also much better disposed-L
than Mrs. Chang, though Mrs. C. is much:
the, prettiest. Mrs. Eng is very close,
and saving; and Mrs. C. is disposed ,to
indulge in dress and various other ex-i.
penses. The twins rarely differ ga,b_o'u_t.’-
dress, but often differ in their ideals,’ of'_
purchasing negroes or land. The opinion‘
of Eng is always the law, and Chang”
readily acquiesces. Eng does all the.
writing, including the signing of notes,
and other important papers. Eng is one,
inch taller than Chang’s wife is taller than’
Eng’s. . _
Some old lady in neighborhood, a few_
days ago, asked Eng which was the old-,
est; he replied that he was just six’
months older than his brother. Well, says
the old lady, I thought there was about as:
much difference, for you are purty con-,
sider:ibly bigger than your brother. , They,
are both good on ‘-'1 joke, and the old,
lady was in good earnest. They have a__‘f
blacksmith shop on their farm, and a shoe-
inaker’s shop also. I saw a good sized:
frame that they made, without any assist-‘
ance, from foundation td‘ roof. At the:
table thcyboth use a b‘ench,and each_ha,$'
,his own knife and fork. H
I Iasked them if they both expected todié
;at the same time; they replied that_‘_it‘:
fcould not be otherwise; for if_ theisanie
gdisease did not take them off‘ at thersam'e'
Itime, that the living one‘ would have--to’
be separated from the dead body, and the’
act of separation would he his deaih—but
lltheir impression is, that they will both’
idle of the same disease, and at the same‘
"time. Their affection for each other is"
very strong. Any of the neighbors offer-
5ing an insult to the one, the other imme-'
ldiately resents it; and it would take,‘ a’
I
in a roiigli and tumble fight. To use ufn
expression of their neighbors, they ‘fight
like cats.’ ' . ‘
The twins dress very poorly; vvheril
saw them "they had on pants made of
country home spun, and cotton Osnaburg
shirts. They always complain of being
very poor, say they must be savingfliig
family,'etc. The one beingsick, the‘oth-
er is similarly aflected—one desiring any
thing, say a pipe, or any other luxury,
the other also desires the same thing.
