The New York Flower Mission.
'Seven years ago, the New York Flower
Mission commenced its work among the suf-
-ering peer in the hospitals and tenement
houses of the great city.“ During this timc,it
has been a ministry of untold mercy and con-
solation to thousands. “Statistics, however
"-1 ”ri- little idea of the work accomplished ;
. - a ll. of the amount of happiness con-
‘ ‘. the hours of pain and weariness al-
> .. .:;e human hearts filled with grate-
1111 love, and the blessing which enriches the
giver more than the receiver." “If any one
doubts the beneficence, the subtle influence,
of this apparently trivial charity, they should
follow the ladies of the Flower Mission
through the wards of Bellevue, for instance ;
they should hear the hearty ‘Thank you, la-
dies!’ the earnest ‘God bless you!’ and see,
too, the eager hands outstretched for the
bright blossoms,—the smiles that for a mo-
ment chase away the look of pain as the color
and fragrance of myriad flowers flood the
room with beauty and life, as the summer
sunshine with warmth and light.”
“Often special cases are visited week after
week, the waning hours of the dying patient
gladdened with the glimpses of this world’s
beauty, and the hint of heavenly glory whis-
pered by the flowers, till one day’s visit is the
last ; then in the casket or in the lifeless hand
is laid the final tribute of loving kindness.” ‘
The distribution of the bouquets, by the la-
dies of the Mission, city missionaries, Bible
readers, and all who will assist in this work,
has been as impartial as possible—Jews, Cath-
olics, Protestant, without distinction of race
(r color. Small-pox hospitals, Prisons, Ref-
uges, Asylums of every kind, have shared in
the benefactions of the Good Samaritans.
“Every year as the Mission is better known
new applications come in, and the only un-
pleasant duty in connection with it is to de-
cide which must be refused. But with the
best intentions to make our flowers go as far
as possible, we cannot split a rose.
The ,report of the Mission gives the follow-
ing In cnts:
“If those skeptics who think that charity
should be confined to soup and flannel, the
necessities of life, could have witnessed the
joy with which the ‘Flowcr ladies’ ‘werc re-
ceived on their first visit to one of our great
Charity Hospitals, we think they would have
come away remembering that after all, now
as of old, we do not live by bread alone.
At first the patients to whom the little bou-
quets were Offered, though looking at the
flowers with longing eyes, all said they ‘didn’t
care for any that day;’ but at last one poor
girl, almost too far gone in consumption to
speak, exclaimed in broken tones, ‘Indeed, I
would give anything for one of them roses,
Marm: but I havn’t a cent to buy one with.’
When we explained that the flowers had
been sent as a gift by those who, although
strangers had thought about and felt sorry for
them in their suffering, the news seemed too
good to be true These poor creatures were
so accustomed to being forgotten by the out-
side world, that at first they could hardly re-
alize this touch of brightness which-had come
in to them, but in a few moments all those
who were able to be up were crowding around
our baskets; begging for a single flower, while
those who were too sick to be out of bed were
beckoning to us with a most pitiful eagerness.
\Ve shall long remember the joyous tones of
a poor crippled girl, who limped off on one
crutch, waving the other in the air, and shout-
ing out at the top of her voice, ‘Look-a-here
girls: git up! git up! here is some ladies with
a lot of flowers to give away for nothing.’
Only last summer, as two of the ladies were
entering a Hospital with their baskets filled
with fragrant bouquets, a respectable looking
workingman stepped up and said, ‘Are you
the Flower ladies?’ On being told they were,
he continued, ‘Well, I have always hoped to
see some of you again, because I wanted
to tell you that. you saved my lift: and to
thank you for it. Last year I had abad hurt
and was taken to Bellevue Hospital. I was
alone in the world, thoroughly discouraged,
and thought the best thing I could do was~to
die. The doctor said, ‘You’ll never get better
if you don’t want to,’ and at last gave me up
as a bad case. One day as I was lying there,
a young lady, with a basket of flowers came
up, and said, ‘I’m sorry you feel so badly,
wduldn’t you like a rose? They have just
been sent in from the country on purpose for
those who are sick here.‘ .I was astonished
and I made up my mind, when ‘I took that
rose, that if there were any people in the
world who cared enough for us poor wretchcs
they had never seen, to send us flowers, I
could find a friend somewhere, and I would
get well—and I did. One of the ladies help-
ed me afterward to find work. I am getting
along nicely now and it is all owing to you.’
One day last summer a large box of flowers
‘ came to our rooms too late in the afternoon
to be taken to any Hospital. Having heard
that there was to be a meeting held that eve-
ning at a mission among fallen women, in one
of the worst quarters of the city, we decided
to send the flowers there.
The next day the missionary in charge
came to tell us of the excitement they had
caused. At the close of the meeting it was
announced that some flowers had been sent
which should be given to all those who cared
to wait for them. The women were alinost
wild with delight, and crowded around beg-
ging for even a bit of green. One poor girl
was found in the corner of the room, sobbing
piteously over a faded rose bud of a kind ‘just
like those which used to grow in Mother’s
little garden at home.’ Several of the most
hardened women went away in tears, hug-
ging their flowers to their bosoms.”
We cannot refrain from adding to these a
touching incident drawn from another source.
In a city jail, serving a long term as an old
offender, was a woman, a poor, wretched,
drunken, creature, lost to all sense of decen-
cy, making the veryeatmosphere about her to
reek with blasphemy and obscenity. With
the consent of the matron, a gift of flowers
was proffered her. For an instant the heavy
owering face was lifted, Ithen resumed its
habitual defiant air, and the flowers lay un-
heeded in her lap. A few hours later the ma-
tron passed the cell again. The woman call-
ed her, petting and fondling the flowers the
while, like some living, loving creatures.
“Please give me an old bottle,” she said,“any
. thing that will hold water. I think one of
these flowers will root. I used to have luck
with slips when I was a gir ." Her request
was granted. Then she asked and obtained
a pot of earth, watching over the treasure
day by day, until it became a thrifty bloom-
ing plant. That gose geranium wrought a
blessed change in the poor creature’s life,and
when the day of discharge came, she carried
it to the matron, begging her acceptance, as
a proof that the labor of love had not been in
vain. . ,
During the last year, the Flower Mission
has distributed in the asylums and hospitals
of New York, over 4,900 bouquets, and more
than 4,000 bouquets with supplies of fresh
fruits, lemons, grapes, berries, oranges, &c.,
among cases of illness in tenement houses.
At the opening of the present season, the ladies
find the great army of sufferers apparently
increased, and to their regret the supply of
flowers much smaller than formerly. “ When
we think of the overflowing wealth ‘of b'los-
soms in the woods and gardens of the cOTintry,
we feel as if We must appeal personally to
every family and say to them, ‘ Will you not
spare from your abundance a little of that
beauty which would bring such happiness to
the sick and suffering in our crowded city?”
If a few ladies in each of the surrounding
towns would interest themselves. to collect
from their neighbors each week, such flowers
as they'could spare, a loge box could be sent
and we feel sure they w uld enjoy their gar-
dens and conservatories all the more for hav-
ing shared the delights, with those less bless-
ed than themselves. Then. as the summer
fruits come on, how much good would a few
of those strawberries, currahts and grapes,
_ (which many of you enjoy in such quantities)
IA
do to the fevered patients in the charity hos-
pitals, whose diet is so often of the most un-
teniptiiig description.
Will not the pastors of all the churches in
Norwalk and vicinity also take up the matter,
calIing‘ attention‘ to it from the pulpit, and
enlisting‘tlie sympathies and aid of their peo-
ple in this good work. Wild flowers, clover,
daisies, butter cups, ferns, as well as the
"choice blossoms of. the garden, will meet with
a welcome reception at the rooms of the Mis-
sion, 239 Fourth Avenue. The flowers should
be packed in paste-board boxes which need
not be returned, and sent on the early trains,
on Mondays and Thursdays, in order to reach
the rooms between the hours of ten and'one
o'clock. The express companies kindly dc-
Ili'vcr all packages free of expense to the Mir-
sion’or the donors; Surely 'of'fall beautiful
charities, none follow more clsSely in the foot-
steps of the Divine Master, none are more
tender and blessed than the one which through
the flowers teaches faith and trust in the ever
living, ever loving friend. A poor girl in a
hospital sends the following words: “These
flowers shall fade, but the Great Master speak-
eth to me and saith, ‘ Go say kind words and
do kind deeds to your fellos. men, and cause
beautiful flowers and love And trust in God’s
goodness to grow up and blossom in their
dreary pathway, and remember that ‘ what-
soever ye do unto the least of these my breth-
crn, ye do it unto me.’ ” M.

SELLING LIQUOR T0 Minors—Following is
the sentence of three Chicago dealers by
Judge Reading: '
By the law you may sell to men and women
if they will buy. You have given your bond,
and paid your license to sell to them, and no
one has a right to molest you in your legal busi-
ness. No matter what the consequences may
be, no matter what poverty and destitution
are produced by your selling according to law,
you have paid your money for this privilege,
and you are licensed to pursue your calling.
No matter what families are distracted and
rendered miserable; no matter what wivesare
treated with violence; what children starve
or mourn over the degradation of a parent,
your business is legalized, and no one may
interfere with you in it. No matter what
mother may agonize over the loss of a son, or
sister blush at the shame of a brother, you
have a right to disregard them all and pursue
your legal calling—you are licensed! you
may fit your lawful place of business in the
inosteuticing and captivating form; you
may furnish it with the most costly and ele-
gant equipments for your lawful trade; you
may fill It with the alluremeiits of amuse-
ment; you may use all your arts to induce
visitors; you may skillfully arrange and ex-
pose to view your choicest wines and most
captivating beverages; you may then induce
thirst by all contrivances to produce a 'iaging
appetite for drink, and then you may supply
that appetite to the full because it is lawful;
you have paid for it—you have a license.
You may allow boys, almost children, to
frequent your saloon ; they may witness the
apparent satisfaction with which their seniors
qualf the sparkling glass; you may be school-
ing and training them for the period of twen.
all this is lawful. You may hold the cup to
their very lips, but you must not let them
drink—that is unlawful. But while you have
all these privileges for money you pay, this
poor privilege ,of selling to children is ,de-
nied yod. Herc parents have the right to
say, “Leave my son to me until the law
gives yOu a right to destroy him. Do not an-
ticipate that terrible moment when I can as-
sert for him no further rights of protection.
, That will he soon enough for me, for his
mother, for his sister, for his friends and for
the community to see him take his road to
death. Give him to us in his childhood at
least. Let us have a few years of his youth,
in which we can enjoy his innocence, to re-
pay us in some small degree for the care and
love we have lavished upon him.” This is
something you who now stand prisoners at
the bar have not paid for; this is not embrac-
cd in your license.
For this offence the court sentences you to
ten day’s imprisonmentin the county jail,and
that you pay a fine of $75 and.costs, and that
you stand committed until the fine and costs
of this prosecution are paid.
William Armstrong has sued Mrs. Cornelia
M. Stewart and Judge Hilton as executrix and
executor of Alexander T. Steweart for aleg-
acy of $5,000 left in the will of Mr. Stewart.
There were two William Armstrongs former-
ly in Mr. Stewart’s employment, and the
other William Armstrong got the legacy.
This William Armstrong says he was born
within three miles of Lisbiirn, A. T. Stewart’s
birthplace, while the other William Arm-
plaintiff says he served Mr. Stewart in various
positions from July, 1867, to September, 1873,
when he left the store on account of ill health
and received, when applying for another
place, an excellent recommendation. He
says the other Armstrong was discharged-for
cause, 1875. He adds that Mr. Stewart spbk‘e
of him in a friendly way 'several times, so
that he thinks he must be the Armstrong of
the will. - .

NEW YORK, J [11109, 1877.
IIORsss.
The racing season was inaugurated last
week with unusual brilliancy. Jerome Park
was crowded with the fashion of the city,
and some very good time was made by the
steppers. The amOunt of money invested in
fast goers in this city is enormous. Robert;
Bonner, the Ledger man', has nearly a half-
million in this kind of property, some of his
horses being worth $30,000, if they could be
bought at all. The Lorillards, the Lenoxes,
and all the rich families consider it essential
to their standing to have more or less good
horse-flesh, and any fine day there can be seen
in the Park hundreds of horses who can make
time very low down in the thirties, every
young man of fashion thinking it necessary
to have his fast horse. The late Helmhold
had $50,000 in horses when he exploded. It
is a pretty sight to see the fast ’horses out on
a fine day in the Park, and the drives there-
about, many of the teams being driven by
ladies,lwho get to be as skilful with the whip
as their male escorts. Women like good
horses, and it is a passion with them to drive.
There is no better business than the breeding
and fitting of fine horses. The most ordina—
ry kind of carriage horses that have any style
at all are worth $51,200 a pair; and they run
from that, according to style and training, up
to $5,000. This, without any particular
speed. Give a horse speed in addition to
style, and the lucky breeder may set his own
price, and get it. For this grade of stock
the market is never (overstocked. There
are constantly coming 'in wealthy men
who can afford to‘pay these prices, for what
they fancy, and it is now more than ever the
fashion. There are enough of poor horses,
and they sell as cheaply here as anywhere,
but good horses are always in demand, and
always at a very high price. ’
THE RING sons.
The city has compromised with Sweeny,
for about one-tenth of what he really stole.
This leaves the Swecnys rich, but Boss Tweed,
it is said by those who profess to know his
exact circumstances, will be left comparative-
ly poor. But the Boss does not care furthat.
He made friends when he had power, and he
believes he can rally his old followers, and be
once more the arbiter of New York_politics.
All he wants is to- get out of jail, and get a
chance to utter his war cry once more. The
old gangs who never had so generous a pay
Easter will rally around him, and he can an-
doubtedly obtain so much power in the city
as to make him essential to the more respect-
able politicians. And then it will take no
time'at all for him to get back all the money
he has lost, and more. He is unquestionably
the most popular man in the city; that is, he
can get the greatest following among the class
who wield political power here. He always
divided fairly what he stole, and the lesser
plunderers sigh for his leadership again.
They never lived as well as when he was at
the head. ' He has had a hard time of it for
a few years, but he is still strong enough to
make it lively again. Yesterday, the last of
the absconders, Richard B. Connolly, com-
promised with the city, and will return to his
native land. Connolly returns to the city
$1,500,000. The real reason for thesettlement
is that it costs so much to prosecute these
men, that, if the city should recover all that
was stolen, it would inevitably go into the
hands of lawyers and for other court expenses.
What is gotten now will go to the city direct.
It is curious, but defaulters can never stay
away from their country. Possessed of mil-
lions—Connolly had all his in bonds—they
were still outcasts and vagabonds. They
were admitted to no society,’they had no as-.
sociations except among themselves, and
their life was oneof constant annoyance and
discomfort. Connolly has been trying to get
back for a year, and he is doubtless the hap-
piest man to-day on the globe. He will come
back to New York and with his old asso-
ciates take charge of the democracy of New
York again, and may assist Tilden in another
campaign for reform. -
A DISGRACE.
Visitors to the Philadelphi Exposition will
remember a colossal bronze .arm and hand
holding aloft a torch, which was On exhibi-
tion there. This is part of a statue entitled
‘.'Liberty Enligh'tening the World,” paid for
by citizens of Paris, » and donated to this
country to be set up asa beacon light on
Bedloe’s Island, at the entrance of the harbor
of the city. The statue is of gigantic size,
andlthe, light from the torch illuminates a
vast space. The statue is here, but New York
is too mean to raise money to set it up, and
them is -a good a good prospect that it will
never be taken out of the cases. It is a dis-
grace that the great city has not the courtesy
and public Spirit to make use of so generous
and appropriate a gift.
THE GAMBLERS
are having a hard time of it. Thewa who
have heretofore bled for their benefit have
not now the money to squander, and the poor
gamblers pre failing one by one. The effects
of John Chamberlain, next to Morrissey the
most noted faro banker in the city, were sold
at auction last week, and the rich furniture
of his palace brought very small prices. It
was a gorgeous concern three years _ago.
Every night’at.12, a supper was set in the
place, free to all, that could not have been
had‘at Delmonico's for» less, than $5 a plate,
to say nothing of .wines. The most expen-
sive dishes, cooked and served by French ar-
tists, with the most gorgeous service, and in
a magnificently appointed room, was free to
Whoever chose to sit down to it. In those
days it was nothing for rich men to lose their
thousands there, and Chamberlain was very
rich. ‘But he could not avoid gambling him-
self,-zuid he would invest in race tracks at
Long Branch, and go into a great many spec-
ulations, and the hard times came on, and
feels either hadn’t the money or had grown
wiser, and so Chamberlain came to grief. He
is a poor man today, and will stay so till the
bucket gets full and begins to slop over.
Such men only thrive when money is made
very easily. MOrrissey is more acute. When
the times were flush; helinvested his profits
in good-shape, and drew out of all ,kinds of
gambling except that which couldbe run very
cheaply. Something like twenty gambling
houses have closed within the month, not by '
law, but by what is stronger than law, hard
times. One of them Went to Deadwood,
leaving three wives and innumerable credit-
ors. The wives were ignorant of each other ’5
existence, till they all met at his place to see
what had become of him. Another found
himself ruined one night, and he did he
world the only service! he ever had, by b ow-
ing his brains out, in his rooms where thou-
sands had been ruined. Others are keeping
bars; that business flourishes yet; and a
greater number are living upon the women
they ‘once supported in luxury. It is a bad
time for the gamblers. '
_ FIRE-WORKS.
'The citizens are moving vigorously to have
the authorities prohibit the use of fireworks
on the coming Fouth of‘July-and» forever
after, except such as shall be used by thercity
in its regular demonsration. It is to be hoped
that it will succeed. Every Fourth of July
the hospitals are crowded with persons injur-
‘ ed by fire-works in the hands of the; reckless
gamins, who delight in them; and; every year
there is along list of property destroyed by
the same agency. , It is no- small matter to
have a hundred thousand little wretchcs
armed with crackers, torpedoes and the scores
of other missiles, throwing themevcrywhcre
among horses and high; and‘ into buildings.
