THE COMING OF FLOWERS.
After the cold, windy, rainy, and droary wintor conies spring, glorious spring, bringing with her a sea of (lowers. Lilies, pansies, snowdrops, daffodils, and jonquils grow in abundance. If we could hear, and see, what was going on under the ground, wouldn't we be surprised1? For instance, we might hear someone ask: "Hullo, Pansy, are you going up to tho top of the earth, the sweet brown earth?" "As soon as Snowdrop pokes her snowy head above the ground," perhaps you would hear the pansy reply. You might see the flowers sonding out their tiny roots; you might hear daffodil and jonquil conversing with each other. Then suddenly all conversation stops for snowdrop is seen to climb up towards the sunlit earth. | One by ono- the jonquils and other flowers follow, for snowdrop is heard to say, "Tho ground is soft and moist, and tho sun is sending his brilliant rays on to the soft earth. Come, follow, follow all t Spring! 'Tis Spring!" "HILL NYMPH." Brooklyn.
