Two lIouRs LATER, II am now
sitting upon Il messy bank, looking
out upon wilderness Of beauty
and bloom, where the qnccnIy rose
and magnificent dohIio contrast
with the modest violet and delicate
wood anomonc. The clinging ivy
enfoIds in tia loving embrace u
ruined wall, and It's glossy dark
green leaves lay tcndcrIy against
the cold gray stone, The starry
flowers Of the cypress vine CLEAN
ont from amid its fcathcry leaves,
and the dropping clusters Of v!sterla
and the white spikes Of the Made
ria vine forms with their luXuriant
foliage a bower Of beauty wherein
Love might dcign to dwell WHAT
enchanted garden is this? The JOS
tic of II passing throng OF people
arouses mo ard answers my qucs'
ton. 1t is no enchanted garden,
Tho messy bank is only II sofa OF
crimson flush the wilderness of
beauty is only the silk display by
the Lyons manufacturers but the
elegance, the variety OF coIorlng,
the beauty of the different designs
might easily deceive the senses into
the belief that one was wandering
in n fairy land. Hero are silks
whose tints equal the brightest
azure OF our own brilliant skies,
and others whose folds would form
Acecy wind clouds, or the threaten
ing skies Of II thunder storm, or the
most varied hues Of sunset, from the
glowing purple and gold, TO the deli
categreen, and pearly andopalesccnt
tints which render prairie and ocean
sunsets so enchanting. Then there
is u magnificent RAINBOW of skoln
silk, shaded with the exact coIoring
of nature; golden stars and silvery
crescent moons, pale and glow in
skies of tendorest hue, and even
the dazzling sunlight Of midday
displays its rays in cleaning silken
folds. Upon carpet Of grey moss
a bunch Of violcts has been careless
" thrown down. You know you
could pick them up if you should
try, and you feel You would not
like a dress made of that piece of
silk, because You could never sit
down without crushing the flowers
Rirds Of Paradise, with marvellous
plumage, are flying over fields Of
pale green or in skies Of purest
azure; vines are climbing and
twining and wreathing themselves
into arbors, and tiny boats are sail
ing away over clear lakes, whose
waters sparkle in the sun.
"a thing of beauty isa Joy forever"
and in fancy we see Il beautiful
blonde, in all the bloom of blushing
womanhood, draping her delicate
form with these feecy clouds, or
surrounding herself with these
azure skies, and rejoicing in the
tender bloom Of these viOlets, or
the tall and brilliant brunette robing
herself in the brightest beams of
sunlight, or decking herself with
sunset hucs, and as we watch the
glowing faces and hear the ripples
of laughter, we like to think that
these added charms which Art
lends to Nature have been always
things of joy; that they have not
cost labor and sweat and tears that
they grew like the birds and flow
ers. We do not want TO remember
that hungry, hollow eyss have
watched the pale, thin hands that
guided these silken threads rs they
