SWEET JASMINE.
How This Erssraat FIosor Becarno the
symbol OF Marriage.

How This Erssraat FIowor Iiecarno the
symbol OF Marriage.
Long before orange blossoms became
associated with weddings the fragrant
Jasmine was commonly used for the
decoration of a bride. Avery pretty leg
end OF ancient Tuscany tells how this
little blossom became the symbol OF
love. a traveller, returning from the
warm countries of Asia, brought home
with him q rare tropical plant--the jas
mine-which was unknown in Tuscany.
He gave a small slip to a certain duke,
who set it among his most treasured
plants, where it rooted and thriyed un-
der the care of the gardener aud soon
grew to be u good sized plant. The
duke was SO proud of his rare possession
that he gave strict orders to his garden
er to guard the plant carefully and on
no account to give even a slip-not a
hower-to any person.
The gardener was q good young man,
and he would have been faithful to his
charge had he not happened to fall in
love with the sweetest peasant maid in
all Tuscany. The maid was poor and
her lover was not much richer, so they
were unable to marry. On the birthday
of the peasant the gardener, having
nothing else to give tho maid of his
choice, presented her with a bouquet Of
flowers, and among the other clippings
in the bunch there was one from the
duko's cherished jasmine bush. Nothing
could be too good for the gardeners
maiden, so in this ono instance no re-
Taxed his care of the shrub. The girl.
admiring the fresh buds of the sprig,
wished to preserve it, and SC placed it
in the ground, where it rooted and re-
manned fresh and green all winter, thus
symbolizing her love for the gardener,
and i'll the following spring it grew and
was covered with blossoms, The little
bush hourisaed and the flowers multi
piled so under the maiden's care that
she was able to sell many of the sprigs
for a considerable sum-, thus spreading
the unknown flower abroad and in q
short time, with n spray Of the precious
love token OH her breast she was we'd
ded to the happy gardener.
70 this day tho Tuscan girls preserve
the remembrance of the gardeners gift
to his sweetheart by wearing a nosegay
Of sweet jasmine on their wedding day,
and they have a proverb which says a
young girl wearing such a sprig is rich
enough to make the fortune of a poor
husband. Press.
