4 Flower Ss0ry.-We are told that a
duke of Tuscany was the first possessor
of pretty shrub of Europe, and he
WAS SO jealously fearful, lest others
should enjoy what he alone wished TO
possess, that instructions were given to
his gardener not to give a slip, not so
much as a single flower, to any person
Eo-this COMMAND the gardener would
have been faithful, had not love wound
ed him by the sparkling eyes of fair
but portiOnleSs peasant, whose want of
"a dOwry and his own poverty alone kept
them from the byinenial altar On the
birthday of his mistress he presented
her with a, hosegay, and to render the
nosegay more acceptable, ornamented it
with q jasmine. The ''povera tiglia, "
wishing to preserve the bloom of this
new flower" put lt-intothe earth, and
the branch remained green all the year:
In the following spring it grew and was
covered with flowers. 1t fiOurished and
multiplied 50 much under the fair
nymph's cultiyatiou, that she was able
to amass "a little fortune from the sale of
the precious gift which love had made
her, when with sprig of jasmine in
her breast, she gave her hand and wealth
TO the happy gardener of her heart. -
And the Tuscan girls to this time pre-
serve the remembrance of this day by
invariably wearing a nosegay of jasmine
on their wedding-day, and they have a
proverb which says young girl wear
ing this nosegay is rich enough to make
the fortune of a good husband.

How to Treat Children

How 10 treat tnii0Fens- fIty anu
love the little children. Tolerate their
pets. Comfort Nellie over the dead bird,
and. don't5cal Molly's little white Kitty,
cat. 1t is enough to break juvenile
heart to have ones darling snubbed.
How would you like to hear your own
Frederick Augustus called a dirty young
4one25T he-little ones have their trag-
edies and comedies, and laugh and weep
more sincerely than you do at Falstaff or
Lear. They love, marry, keep house,
thave children, have weddings and fun
ierals, and dig little graves for dead mice
in the garden, and mourn In small white
handkerchiefs, and get brother Jim to
write an appropriate inscription for its
tiny head-board. Is not this human
nature Ia little, and in its small way, as
deserving Of a certain respect? You do
not despite your own reflections in a
concave mirror, You know.
Cherish the children; mend the
frocks: don't scold if they break their
Ttoys-for man is not more inevitably
mortal than playthings. Don't strip
their fat. shoulders in winter, nor roast
them III fianneIs in dog-days, because
somebedy told you to- Don't drug
them; don't yarb them; don't stuff them
with pastry, or starve them on cbippy
bread; don't send them to infant schools
mt three. or fancy balls at ten, nor tcaen
them the commandments earlier than
they cansremember Mother Goose. Let
them have Christmas and FAIRY stories;
grandpa's horse cane rather than Mr..
Birch's ferule; Little Bo Peep, not
English Reader; Mary . Hewitt, not
JuIaiesoHs Rhetoric. Give them Will
sons Readers when they want them, not
before. Atlantic Monthly.

And a song as sweet as vespeT chime,
