Flowers Around Wilmington

We learn that Florida is not the land of
flowers after all. \ WilmingtOnian just
returned from that State says there are
more flowers in Wilmington than in the
whole Of Florida. Flowers will not grow
there naturally and spontaneously. All
the country around Wilmington for ten or
twenty miles ought to be called ''the land
Of flowers" One of our own botanists
tells us that out on the barren wastes
nOlia you can find growing wild the most
beautiful and rarest plants. The late DR..
Curtis, the able botanist, said that in six
miles square in Brunswick he could find
more rare flowers than in any other cor
responding area in the land.

Two days later a big, broad-shOuldered
man, with sun-browned face and a red
beard, came riding along the snowy road
toward Friedenhagen. The storm was
over, but the great drifts still lay piled by
the roadside, deep and broad and white.
The green buds of spring were withered
on the boughs; sullen clouds moved slow
against the leaden sky, and huddIed in
in great banks about the south and west:
it was freezing, but the bitter wind was
still. The hOrseman's face was sad and
stern, and he looked absently at the snow
as he rode along, when suddenly a great
cry broke from his lips. He flung down
the reins and sprang to the ground.
''Ach, mimmermehrl Ach, Du mein
Colt! Iieschen, Lieschenl my little Lies
chenr
For there, covered but not hidded by the
snow, he discovered sOmething-sOme-
thing that told him all, almost before his
eyes had fully seen it-a few shadows, a
few curved lines, sweeping tress Of
darkbrOwn hair. He fell down beside the
still. unheeding form, and put back the
matted hair that was blown across the
face, and kissed the frozen eyes, the
frozen parted lips, the little frozen hands
IN vain; dead, stark dead his little Lie
sehen-frozen in the drifted snow.
That was the end of it all. He saw his
ring was gone from her hand, but how or
why he could not guess. He only knew
she had fed from her wedding-day and
from him, and dimly felt that Otto Won
der Lanken might be the cause-whether
innocent or guilty he could not tell, and
little cared to know, since all was lost.
And Otto Won der Lanken never knew.
THAT pretty child will have forgotten
me-" he said once to himself that spring,
when something reminded him of his
promise at parting from her, land will
have married the good Baier by this
time, or l might send for her to wait
upon my wife. "-L0ndon Society.

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, MAY 49, 1884,

"a pretty request, truly! Come another
day, mein Fraulein. Know you not that
the young Herr Graf has just brought
home his bride, and Is to-day receiving the
congratulations of all his noble friends?
The gracious lord would be somewhat as
tonished, take it, to see beggar-maiden
like you among the train. Make way,

aside as gay carriage came rollingup the
drive.
Lieschen turned away faint, stunned,
exhausted, broken-hearted, and the guests
went laughing and chatting up the steps
and into the great hall, and the door was
shut.

A terrible accident took place the other
day at AuxOnne, by which one of the men
connected with menagerie, which is now
being exhibited there, lost his life in
cruel manner. The unfortunate man was
showing the wild beasts to some friends,
and in passing before a cage containing
lion and two lionesses he had the impru-
dence to put one Of his arms between the
bars for the purpose Of stroking the lions
name. With terrific bound the lionesses
Immediately sprang at the mans arm, in
which they buried their claws, while the
lion, by a single snap of his teeth, severed
the arm clean from the shoulder. The I'M
fortunate man was taken away by another
attendant who was obliged to beat the
beasts back into their cage with three
pgouged fork. The man died in hospital
ON Sunday morning in the most terrible
pain.
