THE FLOWER VASE. 141 
THISTLE. 
Cardbus. Class 19. — Order 1. 
Flowers large and purple. Whole plant very prickly. 
Never forget. 
Never forget the holy love 
It hath been ours to keep 
Undimmed amid all toils and cares — 
The true, the pure, the deep. 
Tire trusting love of early youth, 
Still fair in its own changeless truth. 
Never forget — it hath been joy, 
In suffering and in tears, 
To know that thou wert still the same 
As in our earlier years. 
The cup of life were bitterer yet, 
Could I but deem thou wouldst forget. 
Miss J. A. Fletcher.
