The white Mos. Rose.

There is very pretty German tradi.
tion not generally known which ac-
counts in the following manner for the
existence Of the white moss rose. The
legend is to the effect that once upon q
time an angel, having mission of love
to suffering humanity, came down on
earth. he was much grieved at the sin
and misery he saw and the evil things
be heard. Being tired. he sought place
20 rest, but as it Jared with his master
20 1t Jared with him-no one would
give him shelter. At last he lay down
under the shade Of rose and slept till
the rising sun awoke him. Before wing
ing his flight heavenward he addressed
the rose and said that, rs IL had Civ
him that shelter which man denied, il
should receive an enduring token of
his gratitude. And so, leaf by leaf and
twig by twie. the soft green moss grew
found the stem, and there is 10 this day
cradle in which the newborn rose may
lie, proof, as the angel said. Of Gods
oower and love.
