THE VOICE OF SPRING.
There’s music in the voice of spring,
And grace in all its phases,
When every little shady nook
Laughs with its wealth of daisies ;
And when the roguish zephyr steals
Among the quiet places,
To waken up the violets
And kiss their baby-faces.
O sweet, delightful, flowering spring,
I hail you still with gladness!
Somehow your merry brooksand birds
Dispel the gloom of sadness.

OLD FLOWERS.
Before the Saxons had ever turned
their covetous eyes toward the
“Western Isles,” the Golden Broom,
growing wild about the country, was
one of the flowers most familiar to the
eyes of the ancient Britons. It was
the emblem of humility; it grew upon
the breezy bosom of the heaths, and on
dry, sandy soils, bearing handsome
yellow flowers. The Saxons learned
to love it. too: and often Alfred the
Great, hiding from the cruel Danes,
in some wild, solitary spot, looked upon
its humble flowers and thought, like
the noble-hearted man he was, that
even his royal dignity might be en
hanced by Humility I Its name has
undergone no change since the illus
trious Saxon king called it Broom,
just as we do now. The ancestor of the
haughty Plantagenets took the humble
Broom for his crest, and through the
French equivalent for the word, gave
its name to a royal dynasty. The
“Bonny-Broom,” is" still loved all over
England by the descendants of Britons,
Saxons, Danes aird Normans; once
implacable foes, but now by the
closest ties of blood, one people.
Next comes the Canterbury bell,
the emblem ol constancy, so familiar
to all who wander about the country
in England. It often grows by the
side ot the Broom, or is sheltered be
neath it, still nodding its blue head
when nearly every other summer
flower has faded.
Then come the bright-eyed Daisies,
the emblem of innocence, found grow
ing everywhere—in the green mead
ows, the wild woodlands, the embow
ered lanes, and on the banks of placid
streams. The “Father of English
Pcetry” called them “the eye of day”
and sang, “The Daisies, they are very
sweet.” It was his favorite flower,
and he gave it the adoration of his
heart. He tells us how he rose with
the sun to watch its beautiful flowers
when they first opened; and how,
again, in the evening he was kneeling
beside them. He tells us that the
Daisies alone could tempt him from
his books, and that he exhausted his
stores of imagery in their praise.
Another ancient flower, beloved of
the Saxons, was the white Water-lily,
the emblem of purity of heart. Rest
ing its uncrowned head upon a throne
of green velvet, it sits a queen upon
many a lake, stream and cut-of-the
way mire in “Merrie England.”
When the shadows of evening fall
thick and dark, the heavens are
“powdered with stars,” the flowers
bow their heads in sleep, and the
leaves of the tall forest trees whisper
together, Titania steals forth, followed
by her train of fairies, and, sitting
upon the bank of some rippling lake,
far from the prying eyes of man, dances
with her attendants, keeps time to the
rocking of the little curling waves,
and drinks in the beauty of the Lily—
this lovely “Lady of the Lake.”
The last of the Saxon flowers, a
favorite with the poets, is the Rose
mary, the emblem of affectionate re
memberance. It derives its English
name from two Latin words which
signify “dew,” and “of the sea.”
Oft the Spanish coast its fragrant,
aromatic leaves may sometimes be
detected for many leagues at sea. The
early English prose writers, the poets
and the oldest dramatists, mention it
frequently. The Saxons used it both
at feasts and funerals; they stirred the
christening-cup with it, and wore it
as a proper emblem at marriage cere
monies. Bees ar? especially fond _of
the flowers, and in the southern lands
of Europe it was often planted by the
acre as an excellent bee-pasture."
In many parts of England, in the
rural districts, slips of it were planted
over the dead. This ancient custom
still survives in some country ceme
teries. Every gray old Saxon abbey,
nestling amid the silence of some
green sequestered valley, had Rose
mary growingarouud its quiet graves.
It was more hallowed in its remem
brance because holy men had brought
sM, a peculiar
fibrous material,
the secret for mak
ing which is
known only to
those clever arti
sans, and they
jealously
guard the se
cret, so that these
goods cannot be

American manu
facturer. Each

it from across the trackless sea.
When the dark clouds of war hung
over England, or burst iu fury upon
her devoted head, the monk, slowly
walking among the graves, and mu
sing upon the mutability of all earthly
things, took comfort when he looked
upon the Rosemary, and thought “as
it puts forth its flowers in the dead
midnight of winter, even so, through
the clouds that darkened my native
land, the morning of peace might yet
break, and find the battle-fields over
grown with flowers.”
“Sweet Willie of Avon,” who never
selected an emblem without first care
fully examining its appropriateness,
chose the emblem of remembrance
for this flower because it blooms in
winter. “How beautiful and poetical
is this allusion. When all around is
withered and decayed, when the
‘Wind and rain beat dark December,’
and the gaudy summer is dead and
buried, with all her wreathed flowers;
it was then, that from being the only
one which came to look upon and
cheer man by its presence, he chose
the Rosemary, and said” —
“That’s for Remembrance,
I pray you love remember.”
The message that these old flowers
has brought us through the long
centuries is this, Humility, Constancy,
Innocence, and Purity of Heart claim
affectionate Remembrance.
“Thou ’rt like th« Water-lily pu T e,
That grows where rippling waters rumble,
Constant as are the flowers of blue,
That every stormy chanve endure;
And, like the Broom, though ever humble,
They di“, but never change their hue;
The Rosemary, that in December
Still says, “I pray you, love, remember—
Through storms and snow remaining true.”
Janet Gordon.
If wealth is to be valued because it
gives leisure, clearly it would be a mistake
to sacrifice leisure in the struggle for
wealth.

A woman’s love is the perfume of the
heart. It rises to the greatest heights, it
sinks to the lowest depths, it forgives most
cruel injuries. It is perennial of life, and
grows in every climate. Neither coldness
nor neglect, harshness nor cruelty, can ex
tinguish it. That is the real love that
conquers the world; the love that has
wrought all miracles of art; that gives us
music all the way Iron! the cradle song to
the grand closing symphony that bears
the soul away on wings of fire. A love
that is greater than power, sweeter than
life, and stronger than death.
