James Wick.

James Wick is deadl Sadder words
than these my pen could not utter.
wherever a flower is grown, in this
broad land, there will be hearts touch
ed with sorrow at this mournful news.
In more than a quarter of million
gardens, there will be, this summer,
monuments of flowers to remind that
he who sent them has finished his la
bOrs.
mo man, in his day has so endeared
himself to the people. No man. in pri-
vate life, was 80 widely known. His
death will be mOurned over the whole
country. Everyb, dy who met him
was his FRIEND.
James Wick was, in the fullest sense
OF the word, Christian gentleman.
His daily life was record Of good
works and KIND deeds. The road
from his heart 10 his pocket was ever
a straight and broad one. and no
grass ever grew III IL for want of use.
To high ana humble he was the same
cheerful, genial man, with pleasant,
hopeful word for al.
ut has been my privilege TO meet
him almost daily for many years, and
III Iner6 Is III Int world Il better NAH,
have not yet seen him.
"Mr. Wick died of pneumonia on the
morning of May 10th, after a very
brief illness. He was born i'm Ports
mouth, England, November 23d, 1918,
and was, therefore, about sixtv-four
when he dieG. He has been in his
time printer, editor. author, publisher,
merchant. He came to America i'm
1888, and learned the printers trade i'm
New York, aud set type with Horace
Greeley. From New York he came To
Rochester, and became interested i'm
various publications, among others the
HorticittttrtSt and Moore's Rural Neso
Yorker. When engaged on the latter,
he first commenced to grow flower
seeds in his garden, and send them out
gratis to those who, like himself, loved
flowers. 1t made the commencement
of his great business. He commenced
the business practically in 1860. His
success has been marvellous. He has
paid more than thirty thousand dol
lars a year for postage, and his Floral
Guide has "A circulation of over 100000
copies All this has been accomplish
ed by hard work and faithful interest
to his customers. "-Gardner's Month

A Recollection of Lake Travel.

Our travelling companion was
Canadian, jolly fellow, who loved
joke, told good story, feared God, adj
mired the ladies, and was withal an
abominable stammerer. We hadn't
been long aboard when the captain
called our attention to q remarkable
looking individual seated at the other
end of the cabin, whom he declared
was the ugliest-looking man that
ever lived; whereupon our friend
from over the line offered to bet the
drinks he had seen a worse one In the
steerage. The bet was taken, and off
he started to find his man and bring
him up for comparison. He found the
fellow, who was a bit Of wag, as an
intOlerable homely man is apt to be,
and with the promise of "nip" read
lily gained his assent to the trial. AS
they entered the cabin Kanuck, with
an air of conscious triumph, turned to
direct attention to his champion, when
he found him trying to insure success
by making faces. "St-st-st-st-op," said
he, "no-none of that. Stay Just as
God Almighty made you. You ca-ca-
can't be beat" And he wasn't.
