THERE Isl great deal of Horticultural taste as we'll
as other fine tastes in this community. We have
often wondered why a superior florist, such as are
so often met with in the cities of the States, was not
here. We have climate, every condi-
to favor Horticulture to a high degree of per-
lection. What we want is trained skill not only
in landscape gardening, in horticulture in general,
but a practical knowledge of the adoption of orna-
shrubs and plants of all kinds for the
of homesteads. We also want trained
skill in the preparation of floral decoration for
occasions of ~festivity or sorrow. We want a first
class florist in our fair city by the sea-, who is
ready on call to supply us with perfect bouquets
arranged with choicest art, or to assist our amateur
in giving additional beautiful effects to our
gardens. We are pleased to say that such a florist, |

Mr.. CRuzAN's lecture on Sunday evening last, at
Street Church, was on the question Are
he dead permitted to revisit the earth?" The
peaker referred to many parts of the Old and
lew Testament to show that not only had the dead
back to this world again at times, but had
such forms as to render them recogniz-
BILE to the onlookers. We are surrounded by a
reat cloud of witnesses the prophets and saints
rho have gone before, and we have abundant rea-
on to believe that our dead friends watch over us,
nd that they are sent as messengers to us. We
eel mysterious influences at work around us I'M
cen powers drawing us away from sin, and it is
leasant to believe that those who loved us most
lille they were on earth still watch over us now
the spirit world. The church, anxious to
eep itself clear from spiritsm had gone to the
ther extreme and was materialistic. Many a soul
)nging for comfort had asked the question of
he church; Can the dead communicate with

IF an answer. We all know that 81 table tapping"

are but weak devices of frauds, but they have
othing to do with the spiritism of the Bible. Our
yes will be more pure and holy if we stop to think
nat the spirits of our parents and friends see us;
bove all, if we think that God sees us always.
