The Origin If Flowers.

"In the forests which then bordered
the great deltas of forgotten Amazons
and Niles it seems probable that no
gleam of scarlet, blue or purple ever
broke the interminable sea of waving
green. Uncanny trees, with sculptured
or tesseiated bark, raised their heads
high above the damp soil into which
they thrust their armor plated roots;
huge horse-tails swayed their jointed
stems before the fiercer tempests raised
by younger and lustier sun; tree
ferns, screw pines and araucarias di-
versitied the landscape with their quaint
and symmetrical shapes; while beneath
the rich decaying mould was carpeted
with MOSES. lichens and thousand
creeping plants, all of them bearing the
archaic stamp peculiar to these earliest
developments of vegetable life; but
nowhere could the eye Of an imaginary
visitor have lighted on bright flower,
a crimson fruit or n solitary gaudily
PAINTED butterfly. Green and green
and green again, on every side; the
gaze would have rested, wherever it
fell, upon one unbroken field of glitter
ing verdure." He holds that the flower
is a development from the feeblest
leaves. which, as they rotted, displayed
colors, the re suit Of decay, not of vigor,
which attracted the pollen carrying in
sects, and thus in ages gave the plant

Sunlight Necessary to Health.

Sunlight is even more necessary to
health in summer than in winter, for
one, among other reasons, that disin
fectants of all sorts are more necessary
in summer than in winter. The RAYS
that heat quicken the vital powers, the
chemical rays exert their mysterious
and potent influence, and the illuminat-
ing rays, independently of the others,
as has been recently proved by Mr..
CrOOke to the satisfaction of the ablest
scientists, communicate motion. The
exhalatiOns from our bodies in warm
weather are more copious than they
are in cold weather, and if we shut out
the light from our house we remove the
most efficient of all agents in destroying
what is unwholesomc. The noxious
vapOrs, which free admission Of air and
light would remove, are absorbed by
carpets and upholstery, and become
productive of disease. Those who are
accustomed to the darkness and damp

should receive most careful attention
in this respect. Sick rooms especially
require thorough summing and ventila-

From her low persistent patfer.
She would seem cODfdiLg to the leaves

That she has no cloud however gray,
But II wears silver lining!

How the lands grow sad and darken.
Yet In spring her drops are tinkling bells
For the sleeping flowers to hcatken'
And her tinted bow seems Loves own proof,
As 1t CLEANS with cOlors seven
Like a stately dome upon the roof
