The Last Flower Of the Year.

The Last Flower Of the Year.
BY LUCY LARCoM.
The pentian was the last years child,
Born when the winds were hoarse anu wild
with wailing over buried flowers,
rha nlaymaie s of their SUMMER hours.
The pentian hid thoughtful eye
Benea, deep fringes, blue and shy;
Only by warmest noon-beams won,
To meet the welcome Of the sun.
The gentian, her long lashes through,
Looked up into the sky SO blue,
And felt at home-the color there,
The good God gave herself to wear
The gentian searched the fields around;
No hower-companion there she found.
Upward, from all the woodland ways,
Floated the aster's silvery rays.
The gentian shut her eyelids tight
On falling leaf and frosty night;
And close her azure mantle drew,
While dreary winds around her blew.
The gentian said, ''The world is cold;
Yet one clear glimpse of heaven hold.
The SUMS last thought is mine TO keep.
Enough-now let me 60 to to sleep.''
From st. Nicholas for January.

The Small Pox in Bostsn

THE HOSPITAL CROWDED WITH PATIENTS AND THE
lHi DEATH RATE HEAVY.
The smallpox epidemic in Boston and vicinity
is beginning to create grave apprehensions among
the people Of all classes. For months the disease
has been on the increase, and the feeble efforts
of the authorities to prevent its spread have
amounted to nothing.
Two hospitals have been established for the
trestment OF Boston patients, and within two
days after they were ready they were filled to
their full capacity, and yet there are accommoda-
tions foriony fraction Of the cases now existing
and rapidly multiplying The authorities of course
endeayor to conceal the real state OF affairs, and
until within day or two, they have partially
succeeded. The alarm now, however, is becoming
general, and great many families whose means
allow it have removed from the city. There is
probably not single hotel Of any class In the
whole city but has had it's quota Of cases, but of
course the patients have in every instance been
promptly removed, aud therefore no deaths have
occurred in the public houses. Only Friday night
Judge Colt, of the supreme Judicial Court, was
taken with the disease, and at midnight was
taken from his hotel to one of the hospitals in
the Highland district. His condition Saturday
night was veIy critical, and it is probable he
not recover. The epidemic has already begun
to effect business, and it's damage to the COM
mercial interests of the city promises to be
scarcely less than that occasioned by the Novem
ber fire. OF the suburban cities most afflicted
Charlestown ia the most prominent.
