specified will need line upon line . It sometimes happens that they whom the hiher motive fails to influencewill yield to the lower .
On the ground _g of self-interest , therefore , , is our appeal to such . _" Emerald / ' says a physician" is exceedingly injurious to the
wearer . Head green -acheand sometimes , erysipelas , is the unsuspected result of green wreaths , . " From , our own observation , we can attest
that they cause the hair to fall off , and produce eruption on the forehead—an unsihtlappearanceyou will allow . Besidesthey are .
dangerous even g in y a dustbin ; and , should your child by chance , lay hold on oneand , as he naturally would , put it to his mouth , death
, would inevitably ensue . We have known ladies to decline purchases of this kind on
account of their cheapness . The article is pretty , but from its low price it is suspected to be inferior . The West-end tradesmen
know this very well , and make considerable capital of this scrap of observation . Did you demur to the beautiful wreath because it was
" Only two and sixpence ? " Be it known that I can purchase its exact counterpart for considerably less , somewhere else . If the
objection of cheapness deter a few in such a purchase , let all the fashionable world knowthat emerald green is cheap—cheap ,
though human lives are expended , in its production : for flesh and blood are cheap ; though actual labor is not underpaid , health , and
youth , and happiness may be commanded for nothing . If the simple , truthful delineation of human suffering fail to
awaken general , practical sympathy , what else can be urged ? " The quality of is not strained ; " it comes down gently as the
dew ; and not the mercy earth , cleft by drought into a thousand fissures , needs genial rain more than do the weary and heavy-laden among
those who minister to our necessities unobserved , and in the distance call for the interposition of holy mercy . Let it be borne in mind ,
that every purchaser of the noxious material is the agent of a real , appreciable infliction of suffering , which will be felt somewhere : and
when the beautiful wreaths compel our admiration and cause us to hesitate , let us not close our ear to the monition—" This is the
price of blood ! "

0 The martyr Poppy burned away With a self-kindled flame .
With gentle violence the Sun Unto a sweet bud came
, And kissed it till it did disclose
The royal beauty of the Rose
