"That's a pin plant, and it's' been growing there a week. very bud has opened too. it's doing grand!" It was a pretty tuft of yellow stone - crop, starred with tiny golden flowers. A few questions abort its uses as a "pin plant;' and the girl, laughing and blushing; admitted that it was custom- ary among the girls of the village to pin a. tuft of the budded plant upon their bedroom wall as an oracle of love. If it, lived feebly but did not bloom, their present lova: affairs would come to nothing; if it withered and, died, they would meet disaster in love; but if at the end of a few days the little plant, snsgended by a loose ly-tied thread head downwards from its pin, began to curve its stems up- ward till they stood upright and final. ly the tips burst into bloom --then all was well, and they alight expect to marry and live happy ever after.
