I sometimes think that trees and ll.tweis and vines are conscious of their living tin I enjoy it, and 1 don't like to cut a flourishing tree down or clip a rose from the hush fir fear of hurling their feelings. I f a beaut ilill rose that has just opened to the morning sun is lint happy what are they mailetur ' ?oine foiks sav ihev are made just fir us to look at and enjoy, but there are mil lions o( beautiful lUwers hid away that human eyes never look upon "Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, iind svaste its sweetness on the desert air," and so I think ihey have a joy of their own. It's ull right to gather flowers fir a purpose just like it is right to kill a ehieiien lor dinner, but s tl'Ui'i ihinii it is right to destroy them without a cause. Why shouldn't an appto tu-o fun of blooms t e happy just line a hen is happy with her young chickens T Ihey both nave the same pill pose nn l capacity that is lo raise a crop. Lite is a mystery anyhow, mid everything was made lor a pur poso. The Cood 15 iok tolls us about horses in heaven and fruits and flowers and golden streets, and so I recilon that people and things will bo very much liivti they are here, excepting that all things will be puru and good and lovely no sicttly people to grow on!; no trees dead at the top nor hollow at tho butt, and no floweis that fade away and die.
