Sleeping Flowers.

Almost all the flowers sleep during tho
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 cloud. The dande.
lion opens at five or six in the morning, and
shuts at niue in the evening. The goat s
beard wakes at three in the morning, and
shuts at Eve or six in the evening. The COM

ONLY A WORD.


A frivious word, sharp retort, a8a
A parting in angry haste, gaf
The sun that rose on the bowers of bliss,
The loving look and the tender kiss,
Has set on barren waste,
Where pilgrims tread with weary feet
Paths destined never more to meet.
A frivilous word, a sharp retort, b
A moment that blots out years,
Two lives are wrecked on a stormy shore,
Where pillows of passion surge and roar
To break in spray of tears;
Tears shed to blind the severed pair
Drifting seaward and drowning there.
A frivolous word, sharp retort,
A flash from passing cloud,
Two hearts are scathed to their inmost core,
Are ashes and dust for evermore.
Two faces turned to the crowd,
Masked by pride with a lifelong lie,
To hide the scars of that agony.
A frivolous word, sharp retort,
An arrow at random sped,
1t has cut in twain the mystic tie
That had bound two souls in harmony,
Sweet love lies bleeding or dead.
A poisoned shaft with scarce an aim
Has done mischief sad as shame.
A frivolous word, sharp retort,
Alas for the loves and lires,
So little cause has rent apart;
Tearing the fendest heart from heart
AS the whirlw nd rends and rives,
Never to reunite again,
But live and die in secret pain.
A frivolous word, sharp retort,
Alas that it should be SO
The petulant speech, the careless tongue,
Have wrought more evil, and done more wron
Have brought to the world more
Than all the armies age to age
Records on hist'ry's blood stained page.
