ONLY A WHILE.

Only little while TO work,
And a long, long time to rest;
Then drive the cloud from the aching brow
The sigh from the troubled breast,
Only while TO watch and pray,
And a long, long time to praise
Our God, the Father. knoweth best
Then question not His ways.
Only very little while,
As short as the going down
or the setting sun, to meekly bear
The cross and the thorny crown.
Only little while 10 sow,
And a long, long time to reap;
Let's SOW in faith with an open hand,
And lares from the good seed keep.
Only little while To lose,
And a long, long time to find
The Jewels death has robbed us Of
The friends we will leave behind
Only while to trim our lamps,
Ere the bridegroom passeth by;
Let the fame rise pure and high,
Only little while-what matters il
Ii our life be short or longp
II we only sing II lew short notes
Or the whole of the changing song
Only while our barks must DRIFT
Toward the misty Isle of Tears,
Where the pirate, Time, has buried deep
Lost hopes OF the bygone years
Only while these banks are borne
On the swell of sorrows waves,
BY the stranded joys Of other days,
BY a shore of grassy graves.
Only while they'll struggle on
Mid the darkness and the strife;
Then God will drop their anchor deep
In the quiet sea of-Llfe.

The Rose-Mallows (Hibiscus).


cies of Rose-MaIlow, or Hibiscus. Their
conspicuous character is not alone due
to the flowers, often of the largest size
and the most brilliant colOring, but the
plants themselves are mostly stately in
aspect, with ample and bold foliage Of
the name Hibiscus, which Linnaus gave
to this genus, neither the derivation nor
meaning are known. 1T was in use by the
mallow, and was adopted by Linnaus
for different genus OF the same family.
These plants belong to the Mallow Fami-
ly, the Malvacee. This is large family,
members OF which are found in all eli
mates except the coolest. The plants
generally abound in muciIage with no
noxiOus ones among them, and strong
fibrOus bark. One species of Hibiscus
yields the tying material known as Cuba
bast, while the hairs which surround the
seeds OF GOssypium, originally fthe East
Indies, afford the most important of tex
tile tibres in cotton. Our flower gardens
and greenhouses are indebted to the NAL
low Family for many vornamentals, among
the best Of which is the sta telv hollyhOck.
The genus Hibiscus isgestimated to con-
tain about 100 species, which are largely
natives of tropical countries. Within
the territory of the United States there
are, native and introduced, some fifteen
species. One of these grows as far north
as Canada, but the greatest number be-
long in the Southern States, some ext tend
ing into Mexico. One is found on the
Atlantic coast. Having received several
plants from friend who makes speciality
of cultivating native plants we here
learned the value of the species of Hibis-
GUS as ornamental plants; all the late
summer and early autumn our garden
has been gorgeous with their profusion of
flowers, to the delight of our Eeighbors
as well as ourselves
We give the most striking species, in an
engraving made from our own flowers.
The one on the right-hand side of the en-
craving is the well-known swamp rose
mallOw (Hibiscus MOscheutos) This has
the widest range of any, it being found in
nearly every State, especially within the
influence of salt water On that broad
stretch of marsh land known AS the
'Hackensack meadows" which the trains
OF the Erie and other roads frequently
cross, carrying passengers to the far West
as well as others to their Suburban
homes, this plant is seen in great abun-
dance It's stems are in clumps, three feet
or more high, with large downy leaves,
and conspicuous, hollyhock-like flowers,
about six inches across ThefOwers vary
from rose color to pure white, and with
and without crimson centre. Though
naturally a marsh plant, it succeeds ad-
mirably in thegarden. We have seen it in
several old gardens along the Hudson
under the name of Hibiscus palustris
Many of the early botanists, including
Linn@Qs tried to make two species of our
common one. Tarrey and Gray, in the
''Flora of North America" (185O) de-
clare: "From numerous observations
we areconvinced that H. Moscheutos and
HI. Palustris are not distinct species"
The species on the lower left side of the
engraving is the military rose-mallow,
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-11-27

of cross between a battle ak and spear,
with which foot-soldiers could both chop
and thrust at their enemies. This weapon
is said to be entirely out of use, rare in
some courts in Scotland where the atten-
dants carry them ais a mark of dignity.
The plant of H militaris is of rathersIen-
der habit; it's flowers are four inches or
more across, of pale rose, or flesh color,
with a darker centre This species is
found from Pennsylvania westward and
southwark, and though not so showy as
some others, is very pleasing plant in
cultivation.
The plant in thecentre of the engraving
is the ''scarlet rose-mallow" (Hibiscus
coccineus). Alton, formerly of Kew, saw
fit to call this HI. speciosus. an appropri-
ate name enough, but that is no excuse
for ignoring the original name. This is
the most showy of the species in our en-
craving, and probably the most brilliant
OF all our Indigenous species. 1T is a ma
tive of Georgia and Florida, but has thus
far survived in our Northern gardens with
out protection. Herbaceous plants, even
if perfectly hardy, when covered at the
approach of winter with aforkful ofcoarse
manure, seem to enjoy it so much, and to
come out so much better in the spring,
that it is worth while to give, at least
those of doubtful hardness, this simple
protection when practicable The stems
of the scarlet Hibiscus grow in the garden
to nearly ten feet high The much di-
vided leaves give the plant a more slen-
der aspect than the others. The flowers
on slender stems have their petals mar
rowed below, and when expanded are ten
inches tOonearly a foot broad. The color
is a deep rich red, and though not true
scarlet. the flowers are very snowy and
satisfactory. We notice that some Eng
lish authors speak of this as desirable
green house plant.
An annual species, H. esculentus, is cul-
tivated in gardens, especially at the
South, as Okra, it's mucilaginous pods
being used in the popular dish called
''gumbo." An annual species Of Hibis-
Gus, Fl. Trioum, is seen in old gardens,
and as an escape from them is called
bladder Ketmia," and 'sThe FlowerSof
an Hour" Among shrubby species the
'Rose of China" Hibiscus rosa-sinensis,
was formerly much priced as a greenhouse
plant. It's brilliant scarlet flowers have
not been exceeded in beauty by many
more recent introductions. The shrubs
known as "Rose of Sharon" Hibiscus
Syriacus, is from the Levant 1t is hardy
and has produced a great number of
double and single forms with handsomely
marked rose and purple flowers There
are also several forms with varigated fol-
iage. One of these, Buist's, is one of the
most prominent variegated shrubs we
haveg grown. One who examines the struc-
ture OF the flowers in the Mallow family
would be warranted in assuming that if
there were flowers constructed to facili-
tate the operations of the hybridizer, it
must be these. Notwithstanding this ap-
pearance, they have been found in prac-
tice to be among the most difficult to hy-
bridize. Mr.. A. S. Fuller, who hasexperi-
mented largely in hybridizing species of
AbutilOn, fully describes, in his work on

Alma is gone. The hearts of fond parents

The home to which she brought so much
sunshine and cheer is left desolate.
We stand eonfounded, that one so young,
so lovely and so pure-around whose brow
the garlands of hope were clustering, and
before whose eager eyes Life was opening
in such wondrous beauty-should be taken
from US. Yea our faith and trust ia "Him

Standing beside her lifeless fora and looking

In its expression, we could but murmur with
