BEAUTIFUL AND TRUE.
Well has a writer said:--"Flowers are not trifles, as one might know from the care God has taken of them everywhere: not one unfinished; not one bearing the marks of a brush or pencil. Fringing the eternal borders of mountain winters, gracing the pulseless beat of the gray, old granite, everywhere they are harmonizing."
Murderers do not ordinarily wear roses in their button holes. Villains seldom train vines over cottage doors."--
And another adds, "Flowers are for the young and for the old, for the grave and for the gay, for the living and for the dead--for all but the guilty, and for the guilty when they are penitent."

Flowers Are Not Trifles, As One Might Know From The Care God Has Taken Of Them Everywhere: Not One Unfinished; Not One Bearing The Marks Of A Brush Or Pencil.
Murderers Do Not Ordinarily Wear Roses In Their Button Holes. Villains Seldom Train Vines Over Cottage Doors.
Flowers Are For The Young And For The Old, For The Grave And For The Gay, For The Living And For The Dead For All But The Guilty, And For The Guilty When They Are Penitent.
