THE ROSE TREE.

4 rcse-trec stood where the busy wheels
or swiftly glide.
All undeterred by noise and smoke
It- blossoms opened Md
They bloomed as sweet in that dinsy
place
As In some garden fair.
And weary eyes were oft refreshed
To see them growing there.
A porter passing with heavy load
Jostled against a thorn.
And cursed the rose-tree under his breath
With thoughts OF hate and scoru.
What need Is there for a foolish flower
Where men must work for bread?
II l had my way I'd root you out,
You thorny thing he said.
Next a sharp-faced woman hurried by
And gave a passing glance:
But naught she saw in the lovely flower
OF beauty and omsnce
Save this: IF each were a silken rose.
With Handsome rubber stem.
'Twould be no trouble at all to get
a dollar each for them"
But within the Office sat a man
Who smiled to see the flowers
hat shyly peeped through the open door
And frightened long. dull hours,
He thought of the hand that long ago
Planted the tiny tree.
All. her love makes light my hardest
task.
Dear wife OF mine" said he.
one looked at the rose-tree with a sCowl.
And thought of naught but pain;
To tn" keen-eyed woman-ah. twas

The roses spoke of gain:
But unto the man OF clearer sight
Their June-time grace did prove
The mightiest fact in all the world
The worth to life OF love.
So choose. With what sigh shall we see
The blessings God gives YOU and me?
