THE FLOWERS MISSION.
Each flower has a mission
In this world so grand and vast,
And some small thing tbs wont to do
Before its day is past.
Though it may grow within the wood
And ne'er be found by man,
1t sweetly breathes its message
To what ever thing it can.
We each one have our mission,
Oh! should we not be true,
And give our message surely
AS flowers always do.
So when our lives are ended,
And we lie down to rest,
We each shall be rewarded
As our Maker thinks it best.

Possibly some of us will visit the St

shall wander all around the extensive
grounds in search of the Vermont
building, but our search will be in vain,
because the Legislature of 1902 spent
all its energy making up vision for The
Vermont Saloon and few other Incl
dentals. 1t had no time or courage to
legislate for state exhibit at this, the
to be, greatest of all the Worlds Expo

to every true Vermonter when he is
called to face this condition. We are
progressive, and the thousand and one
evidences of it should be presented to
the country and the world; and such
opportunities are seldom offered. But
then, the Legislature of 1902 pretty
thoroughly advertised the state by the
passage of law making provision fol
the occupancy of Vermont by the sa

Christmas Presents.

The following was partially written
for the HERALD last Christmas time by
the late Gov. Dale, when the latter was
in ill health. His condition did not
permit the completion of the article in
season for use last year, and the Sunday
before his death it was handed us with
the words, "Here, Horace, there is some
thing for the HERALD for next Christ
mas. l don't expect to be here to read
it though" 1t is the last article from
the pen of this great and good man, and
perhaps the last words he wrote -
Generosity is one of the noblest senti-
ments or elements i'll human nature. 1t
is very nice when one seeks the pleasure
and happiness of another, and parts with
something valuable to enhance it; and
the pleasantest scenes on earth are dis
covered in giving gifts to children at
Christmas time. TO them gifts open
up ideas of sublime mystery. Those
gifts are great educators also. They
teach as nothing else can to children
the inestimable gifts of the worlds great
Donor in giving civilization and
Christianity to the world. But like any
other good thing, especially any custom,
it can be and is misused. 1t is good
for the parent to select gifts for children
because they know what will please
them, and what is good for them. But
when people of mature age make presents
simply in obedience to custom it often
runs into the ridiculous. Good gifts tc
children is one thing, and the giving of
an expensive gift by one friend to an
other of something the latter is dis
gusted with, but is compelled to falsely
express pleasure in, is quite another
thing. 1t nearly as often as otherwise
puts the recipient under false obligation
to the giver. To give something thai
the giver can well afford to by reason Of
his condition or circumstances to one
who will be thus induced to feel keenly
desire to reciprocate while he can il
afford it often amounts to doing 6
friend an injury though done through
the very kindest motives. Of course, il
one knows the wants of friend anC
what will give him pleasure, and the re
lations between them are consistent, theI
present is in order. If we could al
see the disgust, Inconvenience ant
waste of money that are created in tn,
world by conventional gifts there would
be less of them and what there were
would be bestowed more Discriminatory
The misconceived gifts in the world arr
all perpetrated innocently, of course, as
innocenty as was that of the youth, who
desiring to show his love for his little
inamorata, set about studying wha
would best illustrate it, and at last hi
