Home Flowers.

Nothing that is not human goes so far to
make any particular house into home as
the plants which grow up in and about it.
I'eople living even in large cities, if they
have any scrap of garden, or only a few
healthy pots of flowers, feel pang at the
thought of leaving them, though it may be
10 visit the native haunts of our brightest
flowers. And yet how easily when we have
to Hit" we can take our flowers with us, or
at least plant new generation of them in
our new home Surely in no other object
upon which human affections can be be-
slowed do we find the proportion of pain to
enjoyment so very small, and the possibil-
ity OF incurring self-reproach SO nearly ex.
cluded. We cannot say entirely excluded,
for the true lovers of flowers know that they
are alive, and can scarcely doubt that they
are conscious, and that at times they suffer
from our neglect. But we may surely hope
that they do so far realize our ideas of par
adise as to rejoice constantly in the air and
sunshine, without fear and toll, and having
bloomed their day to yield up their lives
without struggle. 1t is great thing in
our own checkered lives to be able to enter
into communion with living creatures so alb
solutely pure, so innocently bright and fresh
and so incapable of causing any serious
anxiety. We do enter into relations with
them, when we tend them, as surely as
nurse enters into relations with the chill
dren she brings up 1t is curious, by the
by, to observe how much there is in
common between tending plants and tend
ing children or the sick. The good old
nurse in a family whose nurslings have
grown up and left her hands free seems to
take naturally to window gardening as an
outlet for her habit of cherishing. And how
many hospital wards have fernery or a
few bright pots in which the women whose
days or nights are spent in ministering to
the sick find refreshment and delight in
ministering also to the needs of creatures
which do not themselves suffer, but brighten
aud relieve the sufferers beside them The
same watchful tenderness, the same instinct

tons and promptness in amending them
which make good nurse, go far to make a
good gardener, and the practice of gardening
might even be in many respects a useful
preparation for tending human PATIENTS
