IN AN OLD GARDEN.

Come down 70 that old garden
OF every floWe& we knew,
When out of gates of childhood
TIL airs of morning blew,
And arching heaven was painted
In every drop OF dew.
And you may have the lily
With all her virgin SHOWS,
And you may have the beauty
That bushes on the rose,
But I will have the hearts-ease,
The dearest flower that blows!
Who will shall have the balsams
And store of hydromel,
The purple of the monk's-hood
With poison in his spell;
Who will shall have sweet-william
And the canterbury
I love the breath of rosemary,
The perfume of the stock,
The proud plumes of the fieur-de-lis
The silken hollyhock:
I love the flaming poppy
And the sleepy four-o clock.
But they say that when great angels
Fell plunging from Heavens frown,
a spirit looking after
Lost a blossom from her CROWN
l know it was the heart s-ease
Came softly floating down.
Oh, bright the honeysuckle,
And sweet his tipping crew,
The bird-wings of the cOlumbine,
The larkspur blue as blue
But l will take the heart s-ease
And all the rest take you,
Harriet Prescott Spofford, in Woman's
Home Companion.

A Day without Breakfast.

The nonbreakfaet diet has more ad.
herents than is suspected, according to
the New York Evening Post. A woman
was encountered the other day who said
that not q morsel was cooked in her
home any day in the year until the noon
day meal. Her children went to school,
her husband to bis business, and even
the maid, who had become convert,
went through her morning duties, all
without breaking their fasts. The theory
on which these two meals day folk
base their conduct is that, no work being
done after the late and hearty dinner
and little tissue waste following during
the hours Of sleep, the body has sufficient
energy stored from the evening meal to
meet the demands Of the next forenoon g
work. To take hearty breakfast, they
claim, is simply to provide surplus of
supply and by just that much overtax
the system.
