My Lady's Satchel

I.R,

How pleasant a thing It is to meet; your best companion after weeks of separation. How much there Is to he« and tell of an absolutely personal and prirate nature, ■*nd how indescribably delightful It Is to ha^e arrp'e leisure together, no that the orecions moments «f intercourse can no* be considered wasted, if some of them are ■>har»d m pueh a public rendfzvours as » Floww Show. Flower like was My Lady among the flowers. Yon must have noticed her-a lily for grace and s'atelineps, a rose for healthsome beauty and sweetness, a violet for modesty and he nellnees, bat I could exhaust the Gardener's Calendar were I to run on at I might. We thoughb the show quite the "66t Aahburton has yet held. The number and variety of exhibits, th« arrangement and general effectiveness of the whole exhibition, might compare very favorably with those held m our large towns. Who wouM nob wieh to go m for gardening if he might hope to be ■■ .successful an amateur as Mr Dodda and Mr Craighead. Did you ever see each clematis ? How perfect to ccc that house of the future which I am constantly building m imagination, enwreathed with such blooms of beauty. And fuchsias f How is it managed at all? Patience and enthusiasm can accomplish {treat resnltu, and what one has done another can do I suppose. A veritable Calypso's grotto m an Ashbnrtoo garden with the taste and skill of Gardener Pitt, might be a bright reallfy. A home without a garden, is it ship without a sea, a bird without air, * creature withnnt an element 1 To people about to marry— first make a garden— bnild aftei wards if you Uk<3—but there 'an be no terrestrial paradise without • garden. If yoa expect ycur wife to provide a well cooked dinner, see that yon provide the table decorations How much more will you enjoy your beef and cabbage upon a table adorned as one of those arrayed for our »dm'raticn the other evening. By the way, how was it that two ladies determined to decorate m almost exactly the same style ? And why w»i bicycle d< cora ion and flower stand rfrkoned ac one class of exhibit, when one was so much nmre difficult to carry oufc ! han the other ? But it is over, and the flowers art faded and cast away. Ie is to be hoped that none of thoße eiqufsite pot P'R^s suffered for their evening's j out The heat ot the atmosphere waa certainly trying to human lungs end some delioat c plants seemed to be drooping and flhedd. JSo study rewards and enriches ft student more eertaWy thsn that of plants and flowers, Jb is not necessary to be a botanist to learn from floriculture such lessons »s those old fashioned—and sweet ae> the Rosemary and Lavender that they loved, writers Charlotte, ESlzabetb, and Mits MHiord »nd the very much forgotten Fanny Fern, rgath« Ted from their fragrant flower borders. Did you ever read 4 Mary's Meadow 1' a^keel my lady, aa I naw her home from the flower show we had found so entertaining and delightful. 3N'o, I bad not. Well, she must read ifc fco me. It Is a chi'd's book but grown up children find much ,to enjoy In it. What a treat I Bhall have I While I rake mj . fljwer bedsehe will sit on the wheelbarrow and read aloud. Can yon estimate how much you owe to flowers I Have you paid your debt m any way 1 Do they owe yon anything ? It not, take my advice and ' begin t© cultivate them. You will soon find that In so doing, you are cultivating yourself. Do you remember Longfellow's poem:— FLOWERS. Spake fall well, m language quaint and olden, One who dwelleth by the castled Rhine, When he called the flowers, so blue and golden, i Stars that m earth's firmament do shine. Stars they are, wherein we read oar history As astrologers and Beeis of old, Yet, not wrapped aboub with awful mystery, Like the burning stars which they behold' Wondrous truths and manifold as wondrous God hath written m those stars above ; Bet not kss m the bright floweret! under ua Stands the revelation of His love. Everywhere about us are they glowing Some like stars to tell uh Spring is born« Others, their blue eyes o'eiflowing, Stand like Kuth amid the golden corn. i la all places then and m all seasons Flowers expand their light and soul-like doings, Teaching as by most persuasive reasons How akin they are to human things. And with childlike, credulous affection We behold their tender buds expand, Emblems of our own great resurrection, Emblems of the bright and batter land.

SalvatJon A rosy Officers" Quarters, Jessie Street, Wellington, 16bh Jannary, 1900 To Proprietors, " Plantekoa " Remedies. Dear Sirs, —I would like to inform you that when I arrived m Wellingfcoa, a little over twelve menths ago, I was terribly rnn down ia health. For two or three weeks I was unable to take any activo part ia any meetings, I was com pletely worn out, and always had that tired, languid feeling we haar ao much about, and neither sleep nor food seemt d to refresh me, or do me any good. Someone advised me to try " PLA3NTE KOA," which I did, and after I had taken HALS' THE CONTENTS OP THE BOT2XE I felt much better, and I am delighted to tell you that from tha\J> date till the time of writing this note (over twelve months) I have enjoyed the beat of, health, and my woik is a pleasure. If these few lines are of service to y-n, make u^e of them. Yours sincerely, Mrs Captain Lock. The testimonial cf Mrs Lock should be of interest to /Hh hurt on residents, she having epent some considerable time m this district. Before taking * Plantekoa Mrs Lock had tried aimoat every remedy friands could suggest. The shelves m the scullery of her house wer« fall of bottles, boxes, and tins, she remarking €It'» like a chemist's shop.' However, m 'PLANTEKOA' she found a Sovereign Remedy, and strongly recommends others to try the same. From Chemists and Grocers everywhere. Correspondence Invited.
