THE FLOWER VASE. 
ROSE—BRIDAL, 
Rubits rosafolius. Class 12. — Order 13. 
This belongs to the Bramble family. The flowers are 
small, white, double, and very beautiful. 
Happy Love. 
It has been said that love doth bind the heart 
More strongly to the fading things of earth; 
Not so with us; our spirits have no part 
"With feelings which are but of mortal birth ; 
We love for heaven —let heaven become our 
home, 
Ere yet the angel beckon us to come! 
And are you happy? asks some gentle one 
In low, soft accents and with thoughtful eye; 
Yes, dear, and more than happy, though the sun 
Is softly clouded, and the deep, blue sky 
Grows deeper that it is not flushed with light, 
Though all the clouds that shade it are of white.
