SLEEP1SG FLowERs.-Almost all flowers
sleep during the night. The marigold goes to
bed with the sun. and with him rises weeping
Many plants are so sensitive that their leaves
close during the passage Of a cloud. The dan
delion opens at FIVE or SIX in the morning, and
shuts at nine in the evening. The goats beard
wakes at three in the morning, and shuts at five
or six in the afternoon. The common daisy
shuts up its blossom in the evening and opens its
DAY ; eve" TO meet the early beams OF the morn
ing sun. The crocus, tulip, and many others
close their blossom at different hours towards
the evening. The iyy-Ieaved lettuce opens al
eight in the morning. and closes at four in the
afternoon. The nigh,-howering cereus turns
night into dav. 1t begins to expand its magnlti-
cent swect-Scented blossoms in the twilight, it Is
iull-b,own at midnight. aud closes never TO open
again with the dawn of day. In clover field
not leaf opens until after sunrise. So says
celebrated English author, who has devoted
much time to the study OF plants and often
watched them during their quiet slumbers.-
Those plants which seem to be awake all night

A Hope in Heaven:

When golden Hopes delusive raw
Has rom the heart been rudely riven.
And rainbow dreams have fed away,
HOW sweet to have" a hope in Heaven"
When crushed are all the buds OF earth,
10 which the soul was fondly given,
And prospects persisted in their birth,
How sweet TO have "a hope in Heaven"
And when upon the couch of death,
The spirit from the body driven,
we must resign our fleeing breath,
How sweet 10 have "a hope in Heavenr'
