. FLOWERS ! FRESH FLOWERS BT MKS . 3 . B . I . EWIS . Flowers adorn the mountain ' s side Flowers in cool and shady dells , Flowers upon the running tide , '' Flowers upon the meadows wide ,. Flowers upon the upland swells . Tlowers adorn the utidal train , Flowers upon the altar rest , : Or with gentle hands are lain " On the couch of mortal pain , Where their ministry is blest . Flowers we scatter o ' er the dead , Giving all of light we may To the gloom around us spread When the spirit homeward sped , Leaving nought but lifeless clay . Plant we flowers above the dead .
Where the Summer wind and rain Can their genial influence shed On the cold arid narrow bed , ; Where tbewearyne'er complain . Flowers , the very smiles of "God , Almost as the sunlight free ! - ' ; Bloom they where no foot hath trod ! With them , He hath decked the sod Nor denied them to the sea ! For the flowers let joyful praise
Crown the Summer s golden grime ; In the city's dusty ways , In the woodland's twilight baze , Still prolong the grateful chime .

Tracts On Christian Socialism. Central O...
Tracts on Christian Socialism . Central Office of the Working Men ' s Association , 76 , Charlotte-street , 'London . Humble and unassuming as these tracts appear , they must he regarded as the indication of a new and powerful movement . Socialism has , in most of its previous phases , been so closely associated with infidelity , that many persons who approved of . the economical and social portion of the system , shrunk from avowing themselves favourable to it , or in any way identif ying themselves with views so much opposed to the current opinions of society .- 2 fpr is there any reason to suppose that . this was
the result of a mere time-serving feeling on the part of a . great majority of these parties . The religious sentimentis , strongl y developed in this country . The . prevailing influences tend powerfully to develope it ,, especially among the middle and certain influential sections of the upper classes . The sanction and support of these active , influential , and practical portions of the community , are indispensable to the success of any large comprehensive constructive movement , but'the taint , or even the suspicion of infidelity , is quite sufficient to deter them , even if the enterprise be in every other respect unexceptionable ;
Many of the- prominent advocates of Socialism—so called—distinguished themselves ' by their constant attacks upon the " popular creed . Judging" by the course they pursued , it seemed less important'to reconstruct societarian arrangements" in accordance with a fraternal philosophy , than to wage war upon doctrinal differences ' and ' theological subtleties , which For . ages Had been fruitful ' sources of dissension , " persecution , ' , malice , hatred , . and all uncharitableness . ' The consequence yas , the true , ' the useful , " the practical in Socialism , ¦ was overlooked , and the T ^ hole ? system was condemned on account of the erroneous
conduct of . its professed , advocates . ' . " The authors of ithe tracts before lis have , at least , avoided this error . ' , 'They perceive no antagonismh & r tweei Christianity ' arid SociaKsm , ' and being , as some of ' them are , clergymen ^ holding distmguished positions ' m the church , it may . be presumed , that they Tat least nnderstarid the doctrinal part of the natural creed , as well as most people . " So far from the two being ^ p- * posed , j 4 t appears to them they are identical , or rather , that Socialism is Tbnt the practical applfcatioiTof the principles of gbBpel . urotlierhood , to all the yaned ocedpatiops " of actual life , and maldrig * fehgi 6 n . become allying reality , instead " of a ' mere verbal profession . . "
Their own course has demonstrated , that their faith is of that txne MM which shows itself mwork ^ . The first tract is , A Dialogue between Somebody ( a person of respectability ) and Nobody ( themiter ) . It contains ; an exposition of the meaning of the term . ChnBtian Socialism , " and of the ppintff . pn which the author conceives the advocates ; of various Social systems were in error . ' The new party disclaim hi this tract all idea of . proposing " a great combination for reorganising ;*!! the tradesof the cities , and all the . agriculture . of the country . " "A small expennient may be , " In their judgment , " much more effective than a greater one . "
Acting upon that belief , Tract JTo . 2 gives the history of the origin and progress of the Working Tailors' Association , 34 , Great Castle-street , . commenced in February , last ., The ^ . nrst of , several , Bunilar" a ^ ciatipns in different trades which have since faenuBetion foot [ . The principle , on winch these associatiohs . ' appear to founded is tiM : ^ -the body called fhe . " Council , of Promoters , ; ' \ snpply the requisite capii ^ -to ^ nnnence the working association—not as a loan to be , repaid with interest , but * as a fund , which when returned by gradual instalments from . the , rprofits , is to be ,, applied , to the formation , of similar associations . Since ; February , it ; appears ^ that . sis- associations have been thus set at
work ,, in . the metropolis , including , builders , bakers , ' , printers and shoemakers ., . At the present- moment , ( large premises are about to be opened as a central office for all the associations , not only in J ^ ndpn ^ but thronghout the country , ! ' -. -The slightest ; consideration will show how powerfully such an establishment , if prudently managed ,, will , add . . to . tbe : prosperity , and suciwsM , carrying r out . of the : obects of , the promoters .

ferent productions , whether of raw material or manufactured" articles ,-and to . purchase from the wholesale markets whatever they require , saying" theVeby all the profits which now pass into the ppctets | of a host bf'dealers , who come between the wholesale merchant and the " consumer . The third tract is "An Address to the Clergy , by a Clergyman , " showing what Christian Socialism . has to do with the question that is how agitating the Church . It is forcibly . written , and throws a hew light upon the tselebrated Gorham controversy . The author tells his clerical brethren some home truths as to the feelings of the working classes , which are so good that we shall extract a few of them : —
The working men of-England are beginning to be more and more possessed with on ' e thought . Schemes of political reform are becoming more and more absorbed in it If ' they continue : to ask for the six points of the Charter , it is because they suppose these six points will remove the impediments to their working togethpr—to their forming societies for united labour . What , is to make them fellow-workers , they have perhaps but imperfectly considered . They are convinced that there are certain scientific arrangements ' which may be greatly favourable to their combination , as well as to the production of commodities , and to the exchange of
them . They are willing to listen to . all who will afford them any light about these , arrangements they probably have an extravagant confidence in the power and effect of them . The pressure of misery makes them wish to try them at once . They fancy they see in . them a deliverance from a system which is impairing-their souls as well as 'their bodies . But , mixed with tbis . faith ti . a deeper . one . ' . They have heard thenanieof Fraternity . " With whatever dark associations it . may . ; be accompanied'in onr ears , it is still to them a name of life , and blessing , and power .. They will not throw it aside because we tell them of embraces which have . led to . murders .
" Do you mean , "they ask , V . thatthey must lead to murders ? Do you mean that the idea of brother ,-hood is , in itself , a mockery and a lie ? -Is that the Gospel that-yon are come preaching to us now , in the nineteenth century of . the Christian era ? You confess , then , . that Christianity has . corne to nothing , that it has been tried , and that it has failed ? Did not it begin with speaking of a brotherhood—with setting np one V Do you' wish us to understand that it is incapable of any such work now ? r ^ We take
you at your . word . Youiare but sayingswhat our lecturers and preachers have been sayingftous for a long time . We are glad to have such ; ap ' anthbritative and satisfactory confirniation ^ o ' f'tiie unbelief which we half trembled to entertain ;";' These are no fanciful words which I have put into the mouth of the workmen . -These , or something like these , are . -to be heard in hundreds of clubs where they congregate . Here , whether we know it or not ,, is the weQ-spring of the infidelity of our
tunes . * * * ; * • ' : You will say " How are we to get at these men ? They do not come to our churches ; they dislike our visits when we go to . their houses ; they -will not send for us when they are on their . sick-beds ; they are hardened men . We should be throwing pearls before swine , if we spoke to them of God ' s covenant All we can do , is to get into an argument with them now and then ; to put a tract into their hands . We know very well-that they laugh at the argument and throw the tract into the fire ; that , we cannot help ; we have delivered our souls . " 2 fo , brethren , we have not delivered ! our souls by any such trumpery , worn-out expedients . These men , though
they may not come to church because they think we have nothing to . tell them ithere , though they may hate us ; when we pay . them domiciliary visits , though they may cover . themselves with their bedclothes rather than speak to us " on a death-bed , are not hardened men , I was going to say—and ¦ I hardly dare suppress the' words—not so hardened as burselres . For eh ! brethren ,-. do we ; notbecome very hardened—you and I—to , the actual meaning and power of the words which we utter . so glibly with our lips ? Do we mean what we say , when we talk of our brethren—our Christian brethren ? Do we attach any very deep ' signification to our language ; when we tell the children in our schools , that : they
are in very deed members of- ~ Christ and children of the Most High God ? . Are we not hardened into a conventional use of these , phrases , so that it is only hearing our right to use them questioned - which startles us into any very great earnestness about ' them ? Now these men have not this hardening . ' They are deaf to our evidences , —they do not think much of our logic , —they do not care for mere appeals : to their self-interest , for mere exhortation to take care of ; their- souls . But if they see that you do regard them as brothers , whether they regard you as such-or not ; that you ; do claim those very rights for them which they are snatching' at for themselves j that ' ydu are not claiming them in some
fanciful metaphorical sense , alien from their wants / and ; feelings ,. and . sufferings ; but . that , whatever more . you mean , you do mean all that they mean , — you do mean that they are to be fellow > workersand not mutual destroyers ^—that you do mean that they are to have the . feelihgs and lead the life' Of freemen * and not of slaves , —they will , " I am certain they will , meet you with a cordiality which you have not found in any other class of your countrymen . I do not say that this cordiality will not be mixed with very much of suspicion , —suspicion of you as : members of another class than their own , —suspicion of you as clergymen . I do not say , supposing your inten r lions < to be the purest and your way of expressing
them : to be the freest and happiest possible , —supposing you are able to throw off the stiffness and reserve which belong to us as Englishmen , and still more in consequence of the artificial ' naiure of much of our clerical discipline , —that you will not have to pay the penalty of a long past alienation . If you are determined "to be charitable in the common sense of that word;—that is , to treat these men a $ , objects of your bounty , instead of meeting them as brothers whom you are' to . " assist in raising . themselves out of the degradation into which . they'have fallen through our sins and their own—aye , and . who may assist us to'in rising out of much the same , degradation , —all these difficulties will be
aggravated a hundred-fold— -your . professions , will not be believed , precisely because they will not be . true . But if , abandoning this ^ course as one -which exalts yourselves and not God , or His truth , or . Hiaiehureh , you are content to ' . help the > bouring . men of this land to make labour an" honest thing and not an utterly false thing * —a thing which c « in be carried oh to the glory of God instead of to-the glory of . the devil—a service of love and not of hatred ,, you . will find that there are opportunities of meeting working men who have not yet learnt to look upon the
Church as their Father's house , or to believe that His ministers have any commission to help them in life or in death . You may show forth the blessings which you have received , while you have been confessing your sins ; and : asking for-grace in -that Father's house , when y ' ou meet them and help them to sell clothes or- shoes at a price'which shall hot tempt their , daughters to . becqmei harlots .: You . may exercise your commission , without talking about it ; while you are showing them howmen of one craft , and men of all crafts , instead of rivals , may be
servants of each other .: This is Meed a new style of setting forth clerical duties and clerical responsibilities , and apart from the intrinsic value bf the passages we have quoted , they are valuable , an ' exhibiting the spirit in which these . Christian Socialists hare set about their , ' work . The fourth tract contains a deeply interesting accountlof . the ' workingassociations of Paris . Our space will not allow ns to quote ' any portion of the valuable " facts narrated by the
writer , but they are of such importance as to justify a separate , article . on a future . occasion . The whole " series of . tracts , however , —which is at present closed by . an account of the Organisation -of the ' . ' . Society ; , for ; Prompting Working "Men ' s Associations- —is so cheap , tiieycontejh ; so mhch . that afiejets , the immediate and prospective condition of the labouring , classes , that we heartily recom mend our ; readers to aid in giving them a wide circulation in' every district of the empire .
The Mistory, Of Leicester^From The Time ...
The Mistory , of Leicester ^ from the Time of the ¦ Romans to the End of the Seventeenili Cen' - fury . By Jambs Thompson . Leicester , ' Grossiey . Leicester , though neither the . seat of an episcopal see , nor distinguished as one of the marts of our early commerce , occupies a rather , important position in our middle-age history . As the cityfounded by the apocryp hal King Lear , as animportant Roman , station , as one of the Danish burghs , as the chief place of . residence
of the powerfnlEarlsof Leicister ,- and subsequently of the more powerful , Dukes , of Lancaster , Leicester comes before , us with many a picturesque association of those wild and stirring times . Nor is her later history devoid of interest . "Welsey died , in her , abbey ; : the gentle Lady Jjjqe Gt / ey more than once visited there , and received from " the mayoress and her sisters " , a treaUf wine and confectionery ; -while during . the Parliamenfery war Leicester distinguished herself . on , the , side of , freedom , and sustainedone of the severestof sieges from the royalist army nnder Prince ^ Rupert- ., The
voluminous History of Nichols , fronvlts .-bulk as-well as scarcity , being almost inaccessible to the general . reader , Mr . Thompson , in the w'brk before us , has endeavoured to supply its place , by combining in a continuous narrative the various'incidents relating to the borough , with illustrative documents selected' from its records , ' and thus supplying ' a connected' history of Leicester . / : At the'Norman " conquest , Leicester , with large tracts of the adjacent country , became the fief of Hugh de Grantmeshil , ' grand seneschal of England ^ -and'it passed from , him to his descendants , the Earls of Leicester . ' Under
the rule of these earls , Leicester seems to have enjoyed a fair measure of protection , and to have increased in importance .- The early mention of a guild here shows that Saxon customs were strong among the inhabitants ; , and the early entries respecting it afford much curious information , as to the manner in -which the subordinate towns gradually ' obtained that power' so justly dear to our' forefathers—the right of self-governmenti Unlike the custom bf cities / Leicester seems to have had but one guild ; and entrance info this , which ^ was accompanied b y a money payment and the , presentation of two securities ; insured the member
a right to trade within the town , to be under the protection and to claim the assistance' of bis fello \ v-members—in short , to enjoy all those rights which the London livery companies claimed ; only in this case it appears that persons were admitted without any reference to tbieir respective trades . Thus , we find " "Walter the mercerj" " Peter the carpenter , " "Adam the miller , " and " ReginauT the scribe , " among the members . Under the celebvated Simon de Montfort , Leicester obtained numerous additional privileges . The , security which it afforded to those who dwelt within . its walls attracted numbers every year to' the guild-merchant ., It had now a common
council of twenty-four memoers , each bound under a . penalty of six pennies ( 7 s ., 6 d , preseht money ) " to attend upon all summonses of the alderman , andtoconstitute his ^ posse itf performing the , business , of , the town ,, if they were in it . " Various casps came before .. the guild for their determination ; and froin these we find that wool and woollen . goods ,. were then , as now , the chief merchandise ., ¦ . Among these cases , Ave find , that one .. Roger Alditch was charged with making a blanket , " one part of which was a good woolj but elsewhere , in many p laces weak stufiV' and also "that he had made a piece of inferior verinillion cloth to be attached . to ; a' good piece " -r-so earl y were 'f tricks in trade' " practised .
,.. . On the death and forfeiture of Simon de Montfort ,. the earldoni of Leicester , was bestowed on Henry ' s younger son , - Edmund Crouchback , who does not seem to have ever resided at Leicester : His son , Earl Thomas —who subsequently became as eminent a patriot as Simon de M » ntfort ; and ,- like him , laid down . his life'in the cause of freedomresided much at Leicester , and almost in royal state . He was succeeded by his brother Henry—the Earl who was constituted guardian of Edward the Third , 'and who bestowed knighthood on him . Edward ' and his Queen frequently visited the earl in his'castle of
Leicester ; and when he was buried in the chapel of . the hospital which he' had founded , they again visited Leicester to pay the last 1 tribute of - respect to his remains . The succeeding Earl Henry , his son , has a claim on the notice of , the reader as the father of-the Lad y Blanche , so sweetly , and with such earnest devotion , celebrated by our Chaucer : —« I sawe her dance so comely , Carol and sing so swetely , And laugh and play so womanly , And loken . so debonairely , So godely . speke , and so frendely , That certe I trow that never more S ' as sene so blissful a tresore .
An illustrious company ' must Leicester Oastle have collected when , as Duke of Lancaster , 'Henry welcomed around him the flower of Edward the Third ' s'hrilliaht court ,: and the Black Prince aiid his brothers ^ and their companions in arms , set forth hawking or hunting in the neighbouring forest . But under his sonin-law , John of . Gaunt , the Castle of Leicester became almost the seat of royalty . There is little doubt , we think , but that this castle was
the scene of the " Book of the Duchess ; " and here probably Chaucer married Catharine Swinford's sister , Phillippa . The Duchess Constance ; John of Gaunt ' s seeond . wife , also chiefly resided here ; and from hence' she fled when the popular rising nnder Jack Straw and Wat Tyler threatened thefdestruction of the regal pile . John of Gaunt was , however , a great favourite with the Leicester burgesses , and thus—
-While the _ followers of Jack Straw were burning the Ddke ' s palace of the Savoy , in the year 1381 , rumours were extending all over the country of their proceedings : in and about London . They reached ; Leicester . A- messenger arrived in the town one evening , and informed the mayor that the rioters were pn , their way to Leicester—that , indeed , they were at Market Harborough , and by one o ' clock next day would be at the town gates , aS they intended to plunder and destroy the castle . The mayor and his brethren called a meeting , without delay , that evening . They summoned the principal inhabitants together , to take counsel with them . It was . agreed at this meeting that a proclamation
should be mane in the king s name , at the High Cross and the gates of the town , that very night , calling upon all the townsmen , whoiwere able , to arm themselves for the . common , defence ,: . and to muster on , the Gallpwtree . Ilill , on the road to Market Harborough , ' early next mornings When tHe morrow dawned , not less than twelve hundred men were present at the-appointed place ) ready and willingtoobey the mayor s commands . They remained on the spot all day , rather increasing , than diminishing in numbers , in expectation of the arrival . of the eneihyl The day ^ passed over and no party . appeared ; " . Next morning the townsmen gathered together again , determined to protect ' themselves and
the dukes property from the ' attacks of the insur . gents . ' , Messengers were sent . to gather information , but none returned . . In the course of the day , however , the duke ' s . wardrobe ,, keeper arriv . ed Jin the town , anxious to remove the valuables frorn the castle to the abbey . ' ' With this ' , interitioh he had loaded several carts and vehicles with property , and was proceeding along the'Abbey-gate , ; wheh ha met the abbot . and some ; of his community , who refused to allpw . ihe . arfclcles to be . deposited in their , house . They feared , it seems ; that " Jack , Straw ' - might be . tempted to ' plunder the abbey , ' . too , ifthe Duke ' s valuables-were ' placed in their- custody ; arid probably they entertained ' a secret aversion forlan here-¦
tical nobleman , who favoured the , cause of-mckline . It is certain that the rioters had vowed vengeance against the Duke of '' . Lancaster , and would undoubtedly have destroyed 'his porperty had they come to Leicester . ' It . was therefore taken , to St . Mary ' s iChurcb , that being considered a more ' secure place , ! from its religious character ,.. than ; the castle . The townsmen ^ fears were unfounded : the malcontents never reached Leicesteir ., Yet the apprehended attack . ' served its piirppse ^ in' bringing forth ' and exhibiting the attaebmeht of the people of this locality to the Duke of Lancaster . The doctrines of-Wicklifl ' e appear , to have made iriuch' progress' in Leicester ; Though their promulgators were put down , ' their teaching grew and prevailed . With John of Gaunt the history of the Castle of Leicester ends . " Aspiring Lancaster" had attained the crown , and the seat of his ancient splendours was suffered to fall into ruin . The town , however , does not appear to' have srArk ; in importance : fordn' 1-414 a parliament was held here- ^ and two others in 1425 and 1460 . During the War of . the Roses , the inhabitants , strangely enough , ^ scorned the cognisance of tlieir ancient protectors , and fought' under the banner of the White Rose . At the tiriieof the
Reformation , we find the burgesses of Leicester heartily joining in it , and dismantling the wealthy ' abbey and the churches of " all monuments' of superstition : " The chamberlain ' s accounts during this century are often amusing . ; At ] "the rejoicings for Prince Edward's birth , " several companies of players appear to have been present ; for we find 5 s . paid to the Earl of Derby ' s players , 5 s . to' ? the Secretary ' s play ^ erfi , and 5 s , to the Prince's players . " In 158 G Mary Queen of Scots stayed a day or 1 two in Leicester , : in the custody-of SirAmiasPaur letL on her way toEotheringay Castle ; and
on this , occasion , payments are ^ recorded for Gascony . wine ,, and sack sugar ! given to Sir Amias ^ and ^ s . to three men for " watching of Sir Amias Pollett ' s carriages . " '' ¦ ' "V , Leicester was often put . to serious expenses by the visits of noble or royaI ; persons . ' ' TJhu » jwhen on James ' s-accession to' the throne'his queen and Prince Henry , and Princess-Elizabeth passed through Leicester , whilevthe first twohadsil yer-giltcups and . covers presented to them , every attendant . ' received fees ; "b ut such was the rapacity of , the Scots fbat they stole a horse > therwithpewter vessels

Sadler's-Wells Theatre , ; ¦ The Product...
SADLER'S-WELLS THEATRE , ¦ The production ofMicfy Ado about Nothing , atthis house , is highly interesting , from the circiunsta ' nee that it exhibits Miss Glynn in-an entirely mew . light . Hitherto she has been confined not only to tragedy , but to the sterner section bf tragedy ; " and there was some reason to vdoubt ; that . a lady , who has once adopted the elevated manner of interpretation would be able to realise the vivacious Beatrice . . The result of hep attempt has surpassed even the ; most favourable expectations . Beatrice , as represented by Miss Glynn , is ° full of healthy , hilarity ,. indicated by .. 'the ' play of the countenance , andthe nimble readiness of
the movements ,, but she . does , not overpower .-her hearers with those incessant bursts of' laughter' that sometimes become fatiguing : It is the' distinctive feature of her interpretation , 'that she '' thoroughly displays the mental peculiaritiesi of -the :, character , without having recourse to . violent physical expedients . Her attack on Benedictiat the ball , when ^ she rallies him as the " Prince ' s jester , " is a remarkable instance of disc rim i nation V She throws out her words with more 'than ordinary force ,, making , ' thehi hit harder arid faster , as if aware that she has . ' seized , 6 h a happy ; suggestive notion , and delighted with its ¦
capabilities . Mr . Marston > has ¦¦ returned ' to the theatre , and plays Benedict in' this cdraedy . '¦• Notwithstanding his vocal , peculiarities , 'he'is always a serviceable actor , and his . temporary ^ absence left a gap which was not easy to ; be supplied save by his recall . His Benedict shows intelligence , and a thorough knowledge of the traditions of the part . There are' signs of a new talent in a Mr . F .. ' Ydurige , who plays'the ' small . parVof Verges ^ ' and puts on an appearance of feebleness and mental obtuseness with a great deal of truthful Reeling .. The stock plays Of late have been Macbeth and Hamlet , which , with Mr .. Phelps in the principal 1 parts , have drawn good houses .

' " ' Sib , —My eldest : son ; when about three' yesvrs of , age , was afflicted with a glandular swelling in the neck , which af ter a short time ' broke out into an iilccr . ' An eminent medical man pronounced it as a very had case of scrofula , and prescribed for a considerable time without effect . The disease then for j years went ' oa gradually increasing in virulence , when besides the , ulcer in the neck , another formed below , the left knee , and a third under the eye , besides seven others on the left arm , with a tumour between the eyes which was expected to break . During the whole . of the time my suffering boy had received the constant advice of the most celebrated . medical gentlemen at Cheltenham , besides beinp for several months -. at the General Hospital where one of the surgeons said that he would amputate the left arm , but that the blood was so impure , that if that limb were taken offic would be then even impossi . ble to subdue tho disease . In this desperate state I determined to give your pills and ointment a . trial , and after two . months pei severance in their use , the tumour bfgan perceptibly to disappear , and the discharge from all the . ulcers gradually decreased , and at the expiration of eight months they were perfectly healed , and the hoy thoroughly restored to the blessings of health , to the astonishment of a large circle of acquaintances who could tMtify to the truth of this miraculous case . Three years have now elapsed without any recurrence of the malady , iind the boy is now as healthy as'heart ' can wish .. Under these circumstances I consider that I should be truly ungrateful .

I at last thought I would give your medicine a trial , and purchased from Mr . Hollin , chemist , of this town ,, two boxes of pills , and tffoofointment , and in three weeks , through them and the blessings ot'Godj I was restored to health . and strength , and am uaw iis , well able to walk' as ever I was in my life .
