'' There is a lesson in each flower, A story in each stream and bower ; On every herb on which you tread Are written words which rightly, read Will lead you from earth's fragrant sod To hope and holiness, and God. Allan Cunningham. In July bogs and swamps are glorious indeed ; the Kalmia glauca is in fall bloom, the Labrador Tea is still in flower, and the edges of the swamp are full of rose colored Orchises, Calopogons and Pogonias : the Arethusa, I have not yet found, but am told it grows there, the white fringed Orchis is very beautiful and contracts admirably with i^s tinted relatives ; no garden flowers are equal to these, their beauty is unsurpassable. I have never visited any bog, when they were in flower, without bringin^r away all that I possibly could. The Flowering Raspberry, which at first blush declares it- self to be of the Rose family, is now in full flower, and a beau- tiful sight it is to see a whole bush covered with the blossom ; the tasle is rather sickly. It grows very plentifully at the Isle of Orleans 'i f'^Mtfo^^. r Kveniiit ('K'Timti K ringed Asrlcpii mmmm.
