Flowers dear. lovely howers--that make this
world beautiful and that typify all the ages
and all the virtues, and are brought in to
grace all the vicissitudes OF life from the cr.s-
die to the graye--what eulogy can we offer
you that could be extravagant! But what
is the use Of praiSing what is above praise!
Dear flowers! We rob misery OF her dolour,
We diminish the pain of the sick-bed, and ye
adorn all fcstivty and We illuminate all JOY.
What would the world be without ye!

easy that the workers frill and quill, and putt
and quilt, and flounce up the fine silks and
muslinS and alpacas and popins until thirty
or forty yards are hidden in one dress to
adorn modern belle. Alas, this falls hard
upon certain people; but it is better not to
make fuss about it. The conquest is COM

reign supreme, and the only thing left is SUBJ
