The Last of the Laurel?

A new danger has arisen to the noun
tain laurel which is the most important
American wild flower that is in danger
OF determination. The spoon and ladle
manufacturers and the furniture makers
have for some time wrought great havoc
among the rhodedendrons and kalmias.
and now the pipemakers are after the
roots of the laurel. The mountain lau-
rel ought never to be used for Christmas
decorations. 1t is too rare and choice a
plant, and always will be. The laurel is
a slow grower, and demands peculiar
conditions of soil and shade. Fasteners
ought to be as proud of it rs the Cali
fornians are of their big trees, and pro
tect it by law. The amount OF laurel
shipped from Maryland and Virginia for
use at Christmas time is small compared
with the quantity now used all the year
round to decorate the fruit stands in the
big cities.-Country Life in America.

WHEN THE VOYAGE ENDS.

Two ships, which for a time
Beside each other lay,
At anchor in a foreign cline,
Together sailed one day.
a while, across the main
The self-same course they took,
Until a mighty hurricane
The seas with fury shook.
Then, by the tempest tossed,
When it had overblown
Each captain mourned his consort lost
In ocean depths gone down.
Both vessels onward sailed,
Toward EngIand's southern shore,
But neither all the voyage hailed
Or say its fellow more.
At length, in thickast night,
One entered Plymouth Sound;
And, 10, when broke the morning bright
They side by side were found.
How many on life's seas,
In peace and amity
Sailing together in the breeze,
In storms part company
But when the voyage ends,
And storms and gloom are past,
Long Sindered yet still loving friends
Shall meet in port at last.
