Romance of Flowers.
IN. Y. Sunday Sun.


Shortly after daybreak one morning in
the season just passed, young woman
about nineteen years old entered the
market, and passed along from stall to
stall, looking anxiously at the plants
before her. She was dressed in black
well-worn gown, and her face bore the
marks of long nights OF sleeplessness.
Suddenly she stopped in front of a stand,
on which stood pure white rose of the
Nine. Rohan species. She gazed at it
for few seconds, and then turning to
the good-natured looking dealer, 'she
asked falteringly: - a5-s
"What is the price of that rose, sir ?'''
"Sixty-fve cents" replied the dealer
1t was really worth more, but the refin-
ing influence that never fails to impreg.
nate tn Sc whose lives are passed among
flowers, taught the man that his pro-
spective customer was very poor, and
anxious to purchase plant somewhat
beyond her means. But the poor girl
shook her head, and the tears started to
her es as she slowly moved away.
'Wait minute exclaimed the
dealer. GLOW much can you give for
it3" ~
"I have only twenty-five CENTS" said
the girl sorrowfulIy, "and 1 wanted that
rose so much" She gazed at it again
and was about to continue her way when

sick, and she cares only for that kind.
She says she wants to see one of them in
bloom once more before She"
Here the poor girl broke down, and
for a moment hid her face in her hands.
The dealers business principles were
not proof against such an appeal as this.
Quickly he wrapped up the beautiful
white rose and handed it to her. She
laid her twenty five cents upon tie stand,
thanked him, and went away with the
| flower. +-t "
Three days afterward the girl was
again at the stall with the rose in her
hand. Her face was little paler and
more worn than before, but otherwise

"Why, what is tie matter?' asked the
dealer.
''My sister died last night sir" replied
the girl, her voice slightly trembling
.'She kept her eyes upon the roses as
long as she could see, and few minutes
before her death she asked me to allow
her to kiss the blossom. That was just
before she kissed me for the last time. y
The dealer had noloose flowers in his
own stall, but he knew where to procure
them, and going to the other end of the
market he soon returned with basket

posed, and it was agreed, that the head

years. should be the sole proprietor of
the long and beautiful tail. Eddy
rather objected at first to this division,
as putting him off with an extremely
small share of the animal, but soon be-
came reconciled to the division, and
quite proud OF his ownership in the
graceful terminus of the kitten. One
day soon after heard poor puss making
dreadful mewing, and called out to
Eddy, There, my son, you are hurting

No, didn't mother; trod on my part

A "Onders
In most of the papers may be seen an an
nouncement OF q new rubber boot made by the
Candee Rubber Co., of New Haven, Ct. This
boot marks a new era in the manufacture of
rubber goods and is called the "95 Per Cent.
Sterling" to denote its high quality, and is
covered by no less than seven patents, all
owned by the Candee Co. One of the boots,
split to show its exact character, is on exhibi-
ton at the stores, and shows article for
genuine service, that is seemingly indestruct-
ible. The Company warrants these boots three
months, although there is abundant testimony
that the boots will stand six months hard wear
every day. The Candee " is the largest rub
ber goods company in the world, and its war
rant is equal to a bond. One of the patents
referred to covers binding for tho top of the
leg, in which are engraved spaces for every day
and month in the year, so that the storekeeper
can punch out the date of sale, and SO fix be-
yond dispute the duration of the three months
warrant. Altogether it is the most wonderful
boot that has yet appeared.
PUBLISHED testimony establishes the fact that
