PAIXTED CUP, SCARLET CUP. 79 



These lovely plants, like many others that adorn our Canadian 

 woods and wilds, yearly disappear form our midst, and soon we 

 shall seek them, but not find them. 



We might say with the poet: 



" 'Twas pity nature brought J e forth, 

 Merelv to show your worth, 

 And lose ye (juite! 

 But ye have lovely leaves, where we 

 Mav read how s.oon thinns have 

 Their end, though ne'er so brave ; 

 And after they have shewn their pride, 

 Like you awhile they glide 

 * Into the grave. 



Uekhrk.
