I Was looking over, the oilier day. a little
drawer in Cousin Carrie's writing-table, after
I a letter of Kate llamilt on's—Kato DuiAn that,
was— that she hint promised to show me. There
were all sorts of treasures in the drawer—let
ters tied up w' due ribbons, miniatures,
locks of hair, trinke and souvenirs innu
merable. ln turning th ut over, in my search,
I COMIC across a ranciful little box, matte of
y
carved sandal wood,kthat oohed as though it
hitrsometringtor great vi utp- '.
•MaY I open it, Carpi .'•••t,
'Yett:'
' Theremas nothing in it but d-bunch of dried
buttercups, pressed on a Piece of slick paper.
• Dell" me! is this all? What do you keep
them in atter for, Carrie r • . ,
She took the box front my hand, end looked
at•them thoughtfully. •
'There is nothing lona drawer, Kate, that
I .prize• as much as
.these buttercups. I've
kept. them in that box for two years.'
' 'Qf course, then, there's something interest
ting ahem them if' amiy are so_preetotts,.and_
thereby hangs a tale—eh, Carrie?'
' Yes;' _ but more interesting to-me than to .
anybody else . , I fancy' .• . , - -,- - , . •
.!' Oh', no ! • Storks about witlatred flowers'
that are Wept as sonvinris, are delightful and
romantic, always, and I fool just like hearing
one now. Do tell me about them.'
I had Yo coax ever so long. but at last she
consented; ,so I put the things back into the
'rawer, and drew a seat close ,up to Carrie,
where I'dould watch her as she. talked, (for
she had a face one never tires looking at,) and
then.she told Jae this story, jusbas I tun going
-
to tell it to you.'..

' About'
,three years ago, Kate, mother's
healtir was so poor,- that Dr. Field said•she
must go to Cuba—nothing but a warmer cli
