put it off from one week to another,

to see poor Uncle William.
Father called me into the parlor the

the money and charged me to say moth

the secret drawer of the chest in the

l had never suspected before, though

how to open and shut it. If the house
caught fire, l was to get the children

drawer and save the money. If there
had been no possibility of fire, 1 doubt

money at all, and l would have been

It is hardly known, even to foreign res

The old poetry aud the old art do not
seem to be permeated with it, as in
Japan, where the forms Of vases, bowls
and cups, the designs and paintings of
the greatest masters, repeat the graceful
lines Of vine aud flower, and scores of
famous poems celebrate the asagao in
written characters as beautiful to the
eye as is their sound to the eur.
The asagao was brought to Japan
with the Buddhist religion, that partic-
ular cult Of early rising. Scholars and
priests who went over to study the new
religion brought back the seeds of many
Chinese plants. The tea plant came
then, and Eisai brought the seeds of the
sacred bo tree, and Tai Kwam, the Chi
nese priest at the Obaku temple in Uji,
who may have introduced the flower to
Japan, was one of the first to sing of
the asagao in graceful outas, classic
poems which scholarly brushes repeat
today. "Asagaos bloom and fade SO
quickly, only to prepare for the NOR
row glory, " is Tai Kwan's q best known
