A NOSEGAY of sweet flowers from Anna's own little garden is a welcome gift to the cottage child, who has seen nothing so bright and gay in the strip of ground round her home, which, though called a garden, is not as well cared for as it might be. Anna enjoys sharing her pleasures with others, and is happy when her flowers bring a smile to the pale cheek of some one who is ill, or when, as in this case, she can tell their names to an intelligent listener and show her how beautifully the leaves are tinted and shaped, and talk to her of the good God who made the flowers and cares for them and us. The little girl will look at her flowers with greater pleasure than before, when she thinks of what Anna said as they sat together examining the nosegay. Let us thank God for the beautiful flowers.
