I tried it some years ago and strained my mind and shall 'not try it again. One poem is enough to make a map famous and I have never seen mine improved upon: “The ball frog bellers In tbe ditch. He's shuffled off hla winter britches, 'fhe hawk for infant chickens watcheth And ’fore you know It one he cotcheth, Tbe I’uard is sunnin’ himself on a rail, Tbe Iamb is shaklnt; bis new l>orn tali. King cotton has unfurled his banner And scents the air with sweet Ruanner, Tbe darky Is plowlnK his stubborn mule And jerks the line with “Gee, you fool," Adown the creek and roand the ponds Are Kentiemen and vaKabonds And aU our Uttle dirty sinners AredlisKlng bait and catching minners.” That is classic and expressive. It rhymes well and measures well and is considered the champion spring poem. But I will venture to make a few re marks about flowers, for‘as Solomon saith, “The winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers app^ on the earth, the time for the singing of birds is come and the voice of the turtle dove is heard in the land.” It is an old story that when God made man and gave him hearing and seeing and taste and smelling, He created birds to sing for him and please his ears and grass to grow and herbs and trees to bear him fruit, but Adam wasn't very happy and said these are all very good, but they cannot love me nor talk to me nor com fort me when I am sick and sad. I am here alone and not even your angels visit me. And so God took pity on him and created woman and then he was happy. But woman didn’t care to be digging and hoeing and planting and looking after sheep and cows and so God created flowers especially for her enjoyment. He alsd taught her to sing and make music on the harp and hence came the old tradition that woman and music and flowers were God’s best gifts to man. You see that neither flowers nor music is mentioned in the Mosaic account of the creation and tradition says that they were not made until wo man was. It is singular that in some of the ancient languages the same word that means woman means flowers too. Among th& ancient Greeks, r-omans, Persians and Egyptians there was g^t reverence for and even idolatry of flowers. The lotus or sacred lily was worshiped as a god in Egypt. In Japan the chrysanthemum is equally sacred and nearly all of their female children are named for some flower. In all countries every temple service, every festival or banquet or sacred day—every birth or marriage or death or funenil 0LB-FA9B10N RlAIfllBBS.

Every flower had its meaning and its sentiment, as for instence a red rose meant “I love you,” a white rose “I will marry yon.” The Chinese make the most lavish use of flowers and have a Chinese alphabet of flowers. No modern nation has such love and taste for them nor such beautiful gardens and Japan comes neXt. China is called the Flowery Kingdom. Almost ail of the civilized nations have a national flower. Egypt, Turkey and India have the lotus. Japan the chrys anthemum. Spun the pomegranate. France the iris or fleur de Us of Louis VII. Napoleon I. tried to abolish it and put the honey bee instead, but the peo ple rebelled and it is still the iris. Scot land has the thistle, Ireland the Shan' - rock, Wales the leek, Mexico the cactus, Germany the com flower, England the rose, and the United States none at all. In 1889 we tiied to make it the golden rod, but failed. The north voted for the trailing arbutus and the rose and some green house flowers, and there was no flower elected. That trailing arbutus don’t trail in this part of the country. Well, of course, the rose is by univer sal suf^^e the queen of all the flowers. About six hundred years ago the duke of Lancaster chose a red rose for his emblem. His brother, the duke of York, chose a white rose. The descend ants (rf these two princes got to fighting for the crown and it was called the war of the roses. But after while the son of one married the daughter of the other and stopped the war and the two roses were united into one and called the Tu' dor rose. In the eleventh century the Danes made war upon Scotland, and one dark night planned an attack upon a fortress that was the key to the whole country. They took off their shoes and breeches so as to swim across a moat that sur rounded the fortress, thinking that the moat was deep and full of water. But the Scoteh had nearly filled the moat with thistle, and it stuck the Danes so terribly that they yelled in ^ny and got out quickly and the Scotch took them unawares and killed nearly all of them before they could put on their shoes and breeches. The this le saved Scotland, and so they took it for their national flower Away back in the centuries, when good St. Patrick went to Ireland as a missionary, he preached to them about the Trinity and how there were three persons in one God, and the people laughed at him and said i^ was impos sible and they didn’t believe it. So the saint picked up a shamrock stem with its three leaves growing out of it and exclaimed: “Why not? ^^y not? If this little plant can make three from one why can’t God do it?” So he convinced and converted all that people, and they took the clover or shamrock plant for the national flower. In the sixth century the Normans in vaded Wales, and just before a great battle one dark, cloudy evening the Welsh went through a field where the leeks or wild onions were in (loom, and every man pluck^ one and stuck it in his hat so as to distinguish their soldiers from the enemy, and by this means they whipped the fight and saved their country. After that they took the leek for their national flower. and the tuhp I balance vourself upon your chair; to geranium me^a^nes biUtom the^ shape of Its seed -ods, ^d the nasto- ’ together; to tium m^ns a no^ yo^legs; to extend yo^ feet on you smell it or taste "®^P"“* the ai^ youreelf with gent ^or and taste “‘*®complacency in a glass, to adjust in an your f^ and curi “P yo“L“^* affected manner you cravat, hair, dress the old man told about i^y^h^J handkerchief; to remain wiUiout and It s^ms that “oj °^y gloves; to carefully fold your shawl in- names of the days and the mo^ and » ^ throwing it with graceful neg- flowers. „ “To laugh immoderately; to place U flowers were as s^ as d^n^ ^ and pearls they would bnng a much|J^__^^^ hi™ hv thp be held at the Waldrof-Astoria. sent out by the committee calling atten-1 special resolution was adopted after a tion to the proposal and asking all the lively debate: yarn spinners of the South to refK>rt| “Resolved, That we cndmnn the I upon it at a meeting to be held in Char- course of Senator Pritehard in using | meckleabars Deciaratioa Blaht, Saye lotte, on April 23. ‘ his influence to turn out nearly all the negro Federal oflice-holders in North i Charlotte, N.
