TRUE TO FIRST LOVES.
Pathetic Interest Attached to "Vir-

There are seven virgins garlands"
still in existence in Minsterley church,
Saiop, England, the first of them bear
ing the date 1854 and the last ISL.
They consist of silk ribbon and pa
per. ball shaped, and are covered with
rosettes, the inside center of the cane
or wsra frame supporting pair of
paper gloves. They represent a ro-
msntici custom of very ancient origin.
and are. sacred to the memory of girls
who, while betrothed in their youth,
lost their intended husbands by death,
yet remained true to their first loves.
Each smaiden designed her own gar
land: and at her death this simple
ersbleri was borne before her by the
Village lasses, the white gloves being
afterward added. After the obsequies
these garlands were suspended in the
village church on a rod bearing at
it's extremity heart in the shape Of
an escutcheon, upon which the initials
and date were inscribed. These were
originally fixed above the maiden S
pew.
I Some Of the earliest and forgotten
garlands were composed of real flow

scribsd were substituted.

simple memorial of the early dead

THE eALsAMs.

Fed by the radiant sunshine,
y Rocked by the winds of the night,
Aulled by the songs of the pine trees,
Watched by the stars. clear and bright.
Ye have grown in the beautiful wildwood,
Caressed by the showers and the dews,
Upheld by the fostering mountains,
And clad in earth's tenderest hues.
Ye have garnered the woods hidden
treasures,
The sweetest fond scents of the air,
The faintest dim incense of evening,
The freshness of sunrises fair.
The pungence of brake and of sweet fern,
OF hemlock, of spruce and of pine,
The GOODNESS of moss and of lichen,
With the fragrance of birches combine.
The flight of the rapturous bluebird,
The gurgle of soft, ripping brooks.
( The hymn of the thrushes at twilight,
And notes from some far-away hooks
All breathe from the uninterrupted
fingers,
al echo thy branches among,
All shine from thy mystical color,
And by thee forever are sung:
Sweet tree of the mountainous northland,
Girt round with the glory and power,
Empart to us strength with thy sweet
ness,
Grant peace for the need of each hour!
