merely wanted to call attention to the mat

casion that presented itself.
The chair sustained the point of order,
and the resolution was laid OH the table.

our homes. 1t is not possible for any
of our special senses to be awakened as
they are by beautiful flowers without

grasp them, and raises his weakened
voice, tells too well the pleasure he has
received from the sight and smell of the
bouquet; and as it were, they, for the
time being. seem TO outstrip all medica
ton. They fill the sick chamber with a
perfume which acts pleasantly on the
patient, as well as in some degree as dis
infectsnt in the room in which the sick
are confined.
Flowers are acceptable and agreeable to
all, bringing up through and acts which
are like the waves of the ocean. Their
influence is felt not only in their imme-
date home, but gliding on over the far
outstretch of sea until it reaches the dis
tant shore, then rebounds on its return to
new and coming generations, and finally
its great good will not cease until the
endless ages of time.

Michigan HortIculturalist.

Flowers form one or the most import
tant factors of civilization. 1t seems to
have pleased the All-wise Maker of the
universe to beautify the hillsides, the val
legs. the forest, and even the low ground
that is nearly or quite covered with water.
with lovely beautiful flowers. Then. why
should not man, who was made after the
image of his Maker, and has some of
those longings for the beautiful and the
perfect, follow such pleasing example,
and cultivate the flowers that have been
given him so plentifully, and thereby
beautlfy his home?
There is not home in our broad land
but has some little spot, some quiet cor
ner or sunny window, that is utilized in the
growth of some little blossom. The in
fuence that flowers exert in civilization as
well as the cultivation of our minds for
the beautiful things that surround us, is,
as have said, great and important. There
are but very few whose nature is so coarse,
or has been SO hardened by the surround
ings in which they have been thrown, that
the sight and smell of lovely flowers will
not draw forth pleased look or gentle
smile, giving ample evidence of the great
influence of flowers in softening their
nature. causing sweet smiles and gentle
words to be given TO those who may be
inmates of their homes. These infuenc-
es that awaken in him a desire for the
beautiful rose, also other qualities that
reach far toward the front rank of ciEiIi-
zation, all impress him with longing for
knowledge of the fine arts, of some of
the chemical laws. of artistic designs. and
many Others Nothing can compare with
them in making an impression upon the
special senses. The eye sweeps its glance
over the vast track before it, and catching
quickly at the beautiful blossom rests
upon it as though spell-bound for the
time. With almost the same instinct the
nerves of the sense of smell are brought
into play.
These impressions rouse in Us a desire
to perpetuate thsi- existence, cultivate
their return, bring them forward in their
greatest beauty, and grow them luxuri-
antly. There IL not one of as but can
decide IN a moment as to the happiness
and comforts of those homes In which
flowers are cultivated, and those II which
they RE not In the former, no matter
how humble, there Is more order, more
comfort, more thrift, moro pleasure and
