62 SHOWY LADY'S SLIPPER, 



where the flowers of the wilderness flourish, bloom and decay 

 unseen but by the all-seeing eye of Him who adorns the lonely 

 places of the earth, filling them with beauty and fragrance. 



For whom are these solitary objects of beauty reserved ? Shall 

 we say with Milton : — 



" Thousands of unseen beings walk this earth, 

 Both while we wake and while we sleep: — 

 And think though man were none, — 

 That earth would want spectators— God want praiseJ'
