Poisonous Buttercups.

Wild flowers are now IN their beauty,
and it may be we'll to refer to what the
London Lancet" says on the poisonous
qualities of buttereups, in view of the
recent death of a child from eating
them. The buttercup belongs to the
and nearly all the
members of this group possess poison
Gus qualities, chiefly of an artistic na
ture, though in a few narcotic princi-
pies are to be found. The vfrulence of
the poisons varies very much, but there
are few individuals of this order which
are inert. The. various species of but
tercups have all irritant properties. The
active principle is volatile, so that when
the buttercups are dried with hay or
exposed to the afr they become inert.
Luckily the buttercup, though pretty
to look at. does not usually tempt chill
dren to eat it wholesale, otherwise
cases of poisoning might be less rare
than they fortunately are at present.

But now that you are here,
How God lives in our love. bidding US

And gladly, with no sigh
leave the dream nor crave
Aught but, with you to try
The power OF great love to help and save
Dearest, when we have done what was
When the strength of day is past, and
night
Comes quietly, and we know that we must
Leaving the task undone, shall not the

Though all unfinished, faltering and weak
Yet since we loved each other, and held
high
Above our failing what God bade us seek
shall not the tight bring peace? And we
