The Use OF Flowers.
By MARY HowIrr.

God might have made the earth bring forth
Enough for great and small,
The oak tree and the cedar tree,
Without flower at all.
We might have had enough, enough,
For every want of ours,
For luxury, medicine, and toll,
And yet have had no flowers.
The ore within the mountaineering
Requireth none to grow,
Nor doth IL need the HORSEPOWER
To make the river How.
The clouds might give abundant rain,
The mighty dews might fall,
Aud the herb that keepcth life in man,
Might yet have drunk them ell.
Then wherefore were the flowers all made,
Aud dyed with rainbow light;
All fashioned with supremest grace,
Upapringing day and night:
Springing in valleys green and low,
And ON the mountain high,
And IN the silent wilderness,
Who're no manpasses by
Our outward life requires them mott
Thea wherefore had they BIRTH
20 minister delight to man,
And beautify the earth;-
TO comfort man-tO whisper hope,
Whene'eF his faith il dim;
For who 90 careth for the flowers,
Will much more care for him!

I send thes, Mary, . sweet young rose,
That bright with the hues Of the sunset glows;
Its beauty, alas I Il ftail and brief,

but the fervent kiss that my earnest lips
Have left for thee on its CRIMSON tips -,
win not from the fading flower depart,
RuI come ell fresh to thy lips and heart;
For oh tia q breath Of the love and trust
That will live when our lips and our hearts are
dust.
Mary, dear Mary, pray love this flower,
let Il have for thy heart spell Of power;
For plucked It fresh from its lovely stalk,
On the blooming edge Of that garden walk
Where we straycd together, 90 deeply blest,
When the sun was low in the golden west,
AID murm'red our loves in burning words.
With none to hear but the flowers and birds /;
And fingered long on the dear sweet spot
While our warm hearts kissed, though our lips
did not
Mary, dear Mary, my thoughts still cleave
To each memory sweet Of that blessed eve,
To each tone more dear than the sweetest lutte,
To each vow we breathed when our lips were
mute,
To the wild, deep thrill through each tremb-
ling frame,
From fingers warmed with pulse of fame,
To each gentle tear, to each gentle sob
To each Sigh that told Of the hearts deep throb,
Az, these memories dwell in this soul Of mine
Oil Mary dear, do they live In thine!

Do the rOses bloom where thy steps now stray!
Do they look at morn on the sky's soft blue,
Through the trembling tears Of the early dewi
