\ Florist IA sweet little blossom espcd,
Which bloom'd, like its ancestors, by the
road side,
Its sweetness was simple, its coors were few,
Yet The blossom look d fair in the spot where
it grew:
The florist beheld it, and cried "ll enchant
The botanical world with this sweet little
plant:
Its leaves shall be SHELTERED and carefully
nursd,
1t shall ,.l,arm all the world, though | met
with it first
Under a hedge -
re carried it home ohis hot-house with care
And he said, i. Though the rurest exotics are
there,
My little Pet Plant, when I've nourish'd its
stem,
In tint aud in fragrance shall initiate them.
Thou IA none shall suspect from the road side
il came,
Roadita Sidum I'll caIl it, a beautiful name.
While botAuists look through their gasses and
view
Its beauties, they'll never suspect that il grew
Under hedge !"
The little Pet Plant, when il shook off the
dirt
Offs own native ditch, soon began to he peri, ,
And toss'd its small head; for perceiving that
none
But exotics were round ii, it thought Itself
one
As a wild flower, all would have own'd it was
fair,
And praisdit, though gauder blossoms were
there;
But when it assumes hot house airs, we see
through
The forc'd tint Of its leaves, and suspect
that il grew
Under hedge
MORAL
Fin the hye-ways OF life, OH! how many there
are
Who. being born under some fortunate star,
Assisted by beauty or talent, grow rich,
And bloom in hot house instead of ditch
And whilst they disdain not their own simple
The honors they grasp may gain honors tor
But when (like the Pet PanD such people
grow pert,
We soon trace them to their original dirt

Brewer, entitled "rhe Lovesick King" The
iunguaee is forcible and harmonious. The
writings of this neglected poet contain many
beauties:
