AUTUMN FLOWERS.” in: INVALID To me PADXNG xosnaav. Sweet autumn flowers! will ye fade, So frail and yet so tender made ! Yes, but with living seed the earth Ye bless, and die to give it birth. The landscape gathers wintry blackness; The streams forget their summer slack- ncss; And, fleeting on the sudden gust, The last leaves seek their native dust. From nature turn the Weary siaht, ‘ . tome gather round the fireside bright, And then with reverend hand disclose The unfading leaves of Sharon’s rose. Eternal Father! for thy word. :l‘hy tender mercy be adored ; dow full of change this earthly frame! Whathut thy truth abides the same ! There' ' ' In. niitlst pains,and tears,and woes, health and suffering find repose ; grateful mark each page and line lltth seals eternal peace to thine.

It was early in the year I827 that Flores and his wife arrived in the ca- pital, and took possession of their splendid house iii the Cello San Ge- ronimo. Don Mariano had many friends and connections at Madrid, and the fame of the Beauty of Cadiz, la Bella Gaditana, as she was called, had preceded her thither, so that within a week after their arrival they had received the visits of a large proportion of the best society in Ma- drid.
