Dim clouds across the field there float
And shadows slowly form, combine
And gather shape. A tiny boat
I see, tossed in the foaming brine.
O rover, watt Brave rover, stay.
Nav. boat and rover fade away.
Again the dim clouds gather Ger,
And slowly shape battlefield.
And dead or living, wounded sore,
One lies beside 4 broken shield.
o warrior, canst thou heed or hear?
Nay, for the visions disappear.
Fling down the Singing surface bare;
An idle tale it tells to me.
The shadowy form / imagine there

The magic mirror of my soul!

THE MOKE MILLINERY COMY
Ever-Blooming Roses.

The class of ever-blOOming roses
is what the masses should depend
on for summer roses, writes Eben
f. ReXfOrd in a valuable article on
"the FavOrite of the Flowers in
the May Ladies' Home Journal.
They are mostly teas, bOurbOns
and nOisettes. They begin to bloom
shortly after planting, and con-
tinuc to flower until the coming Of
cold weather. IF the branches are
cut back, from time to time, and a
good soil be given them, they
bloom very prOfusely. While not
as large as the hybrid perpetuals
they are quite as rich in color,
and as sweet. and much more
free in towering qualities.
They are so easily grown
that they should be selected by
those who love roses, but do not
feel equal to the task of attempting
to grow the other varieties. If
YOU give them a good soil, and
keep the old flowers cut off, you
need not fear of failure with them.
No other flower repaNs you so
richly, because no other flower is
so beautiful. With a bed five or
six square you can have all the
flowers you want throughout the
season, for vases in the house, for
personal adornment, and to give
to your friends, without, at any
time, robbing the bushes wholly
of flowers.
