look at the illuStiious captive.
Among this crowd were many grey
jackets who sadly and sorrowtalIy
viewed their captive chief. The feel

PLANT FLOW ERS.

Why should your homes be
dreary Let the floral beauties in
wife humming birds and bees to keeE
you company. The beauty and
freshness Of spring is only the more
welcome when it is made balmy with
the odor of flowers. Plant flowers
They have language all their own.
They refine and elevate and sootbe
and ennoble mankind The feast,
the tournament, the triumphant oya-
ton the hymenial ceremony, and
the obscquies Of the dead, all call fol-
boquets, wrea,hs, and blossoms oil
beauty, and sympathetic, silent, con
sonant voices speaking to you in
subduing potential charms through
the language of flowers. The maid

soldier, all are cheered by their low
illness aud appreciate their fragance
and beauty.

They stand solitary, bending on their
