THE FLOWER VASE. 53 
FLOWERING REED. 
Canna atjgustifolia Class 1 — Order 1. 
Found in the Southern States. 
Confidence in Heaven. 
Oh, there is solemn peace, and strength sublime, 
And holy fortitude, and deep sweet rest 
In all our thoughts and visions of that clime 
Where dwell the spirits of the loved and blest. 
In every hue of gladsome beauty drest, 
They come across our hearts like gleams of 
Hght, 
Fraught with a missTon, at God’s high behest — 
A mission to relieve our mental sight 
By glimpses of a life where all is calm and bright.
