BRASS BANDS FOR BUSINESS. 



Nut many months a^o a iu^i parade 

 was 1 eld in ('liira^iii. It was in lic- 

 liall' of a ;:ooi| eausc. the iiewspa|iers 

 had ui^t'n it iiiinli spare, and tiio jtopu 

 lar interest \\as aroiiseil. A gi-eat 

 i-rowd nathcreil aloiiy the lino of inanli. 

 liiit as the jiaradc advaiicoil, all that 

 the .■.pei'tator- saw was a ioiin- Hue of 



i Ill everyday dress pioddinj:' aloiiy, 



liliiil alter liioi'k. '{'here were no liaii- 

 ir.i'. Iloats, or speitaiics of any i\ind, 

 iiotliin;^' novel or strikiui,'' to arouse 

 their interest. Aside t'roni tlie small 

 lio.lv ot' niiisirians at tlit> head* of tlic 

 proressioii, tliere was not a siiinli' lirass 

 liaiid to stir the thron;^' with its iiiusic. 

 The loiij;. inoiiotonons line fif nit'ii in 

 nidiiiarv iiistiime did not interest the 



iiiiwd. and it melted away liel'(>r(> hall 

 the proressioii had passed. 



The proecssioii of liusiiiess in tlu 

 lloiist's store is too iniicli tiie same, 

 day after day, tlirouyhout the year. 

 The lirass liaiids tliat herald with .'i 

 llourish Master, .Mothers' il;iy. Memo

 far lietween. The sounds of (uie die 

 <iii the ear loii;^ hefoT'c the strains of 

 the next l>ej;iii to lie heard, and it is not 

 to lie vvondereij at if the ]iiil(lic's in 

 teresi in Mowers yrows dull in between 

 times. It is, therefore, up to tlie florist 

 to put some life in the daily |i;irade and 

 make a noise like ii hrass hand ome 

 in a while, to keep the pulilic 's atten 

 1i(Ui. We must avoid the itioiiotoiiy ot 

 the plodiliiii.; |iroeession, and stir up tlo 

 liiivers every so often t<p keep them on 

 the alert.

Most j^ardeners, especially the yoiiiij.;

 lislied. are as miieli interested in tlie 

 proliaiile lompensat ion thev will derive 

 from theii^ profession as they are in any 

 other piiase which enters into it, and 

 this is hut human nature; for experience 

 lias taught that it costs to live, although 

 now and then the sentimentally inclined

 real compensation in the joy he ih'iives
