FLOWERS ON THE TABLE.
Set flowers on your tablo—a whole nosegay if you can get it, or but two or three or a single flower—a rose, a pink, a daisy, and you have something that reminds yon of Q-od's creation, and givos you a link with the poets that have done it most honour. Flowers on the morning table are especially suited to them. They look like the happy wakening of creation; they bring the perfume of the breath of nature into your room; they seem the very representative and embodiment of every smile of your home, the graces of good morrow; proofs that some intellectual beauties are in ourselveß or those about üb, some Aurora (if we are so lucky as to have such a companion) helping to strew our life with sweetness, or in ouraelves some masculine wilderness not unworthy to possess such a companion or unlikely to gain her.—" Leigh Hunt."
