How the Ulossoms of Some Well-known Plants are SiiUl to Have Kooeivea Xlielr Names-Strange iinil Mysterious Charao- teristica in the Floral Creation. Historyitory showsows thathat flowerswers sh t flo have play- an important part ever since the lation, when the fruit of the apple- lasom caused the primeval trans gression, and'the expulsion of parents from Paradise. The England, the thistle of Scot] blossom caused m, and'the expulsion of our first is from Earadiao. The rose of nd, the thistle of Scotland, the !Qok of Ireland and the lilies of Ernnce, have each a romantic and tragic history, for each has boon baptized in the blood of martyrs to a cause, o r ; Among the most intorGstiug of the flower legends is that of the “passion flower,” that beautiful, mystic plant, in whose personality is typified the most tragic e.vent of this world’s his-; tory. It is said that the passion flower was originally pure white, but at the time of Christ’s cruoiflxion a drop of his blood fell upon the lovely blossom growing a t the foot of the cross, and Instantly it assumed the purph tliat it has since borne. The pretty flower known a “bleeding heart” is said to have sprung from the drops of blood that fell from the dagger of Brutus as he drew it from the side of Orosar. The “daisy” is said to have sprung from-the tears of onr first parents on their expulsion from Paradise. Per haps for this reason the daisy is a flower of World-Wide growth, and is intended to remind us of the first great trans- ^ Tf»e “ heather ” Was originally mon plant, without bud or blossom ; but the legend is that one day an an gel descended the starry ladder and wandered o’er hill and dale, throng! lowly valleys in which perennial flow ers bloomed, and on bleak mountains, whereon never a leaf or a flower Was seen.

Then spake the lowly heather, which Lad been overlooked: “ Master, I will go and cover yon bleak mountain’s side. I have no bright or perfumed blossoms wit! which to beautify it, but with my gree/ leaves I will cover its barren waste.” Scarce had the modest heather fin ished speaking when from each branch there burst a flower, and' soon the mountain side blossomed like unto a garden In full bloom. 'Upon the lowly Lead of the heather the benediction rested ; for “ love which suffereth long and is kin d ” was the motive power rompting the action. g u g The “valley lily,” that earlier notifler of spring’s advent, has a touch of ro mance in its history wherein fairies play a part. It is stated that on one occa sion these sprites of the forest and stream gave a dance upon the green sward. Each took with her a tiny cup in which to gather daw for the fairy queen’s breakfast. Now, one of the in exorable laws of the fairies is that the sun must never find them abroad. On this occasion their revelry ran so very high that the sun sparkled upon the dewdrops and dried them all up before ever their dancing ceased. Then each fairy ran in dismay to the blade of grass on which she had hung her tiny white cup—butlo ! they were hard and fast to the green stalks and cotild not be removed. Then the fairies fell to crying, for each feared the anger of the queen, who would have to go without her breakfast. Soon the fairy god mother came upon the scene, and see ing the distress' of her godchildren she touched the blades of grass, which changed into broad green leaves, thus ealing the cups from the queen’s and saving h er tiny subjects from Hence we have“liliei the queenly ii-e. of-the-valley.\ The “ go.’ ’ mance conn It is related thi girl, while wandering over the \ Fader- land” in search of her Ipr Day and night she c: ones who were far ar ig upon the groiu IS covered her ove )ver, was _ id for her lar ones who were far away.

Pages more might be written con cerning the legends of flowers, for their is as much mystery concealed in their hearts as in any of God’s creations. Who can tell why the morning glory always opens in the morning, and the primrose and four-o’clock open in the afternoon? \Why the century plant only blooms once in a hundred years, and the mimosa, or sensitive plant, hen touched by the human he “sunflower turns on her god, when he sets, the same look which she turned when h e rose?” Each flower, from the stately magno lia to the lowly daffodil and crocus, has its own little history, its romance or tragedy, which it whispers to the wind or its nearest neighbor in its own little way.

I t was so with Delia, and consequently she put these letters into tho wrong envelopes. 'The effect, as usual, wos disastrous. As we read that Wolaey lost his confidence of the King through a similar mistake, it is notatranga that Delia lost the oonfl- denoe of her lovers. They suspected the truth at once, and after reading the letters reoeired, each started off to ob tain his own epistle.

It was a very severe lesson, but it did not break her heart, as before she returned, by way of consolation, she accepted the offered hand of an elderly millionaire. The wedding day was promptly fixed, and if money can make a woman happy, Delia had no reason to regret her one mortifying mistake.
