In every leaf aud every flower,
Aud he who studies well may read
Sweet words in every bower;
And blossoms nrlulIy combined,
May eloquen,ly tell
A thousand things that inliering lips
Ne'cr utter half 80 well.

oh! would had been taught
To seek in summers gifts, like these,
The giver's secret thoughts;
Each blossom is u pearly star,
The fragile leaves are green:
Come, sister, for thou hast tho skill,
Interpret what they mean.
II is an emblem Of thyself,
Dear girl, thy lover sends:
A wreath where pure simplicity,
With perfect beauty bends:
A type Of all that's fair nnd good,
In this sweet flower is seen;
What woman, mind should ever be:
What time bath ever been.
How dclicately fine the stem!
How exquisite the flower
Oh! must it not be guarded we'll
From every breeze and shower.
Nay, 'lis not eak;-when winter comes
Twill not deserve the term;
And is not in adversely,
Fond woman's heart ns firm.
Twill grace the palace Of II prince.
As 'twere its proper sphere;

The meanes, it will cheer!
And woman formed to grace court,
Thence uncomplaining moves,
And clings to ruin, for the sake
OF one she truly loves!

ants were now literally worth nothng-that they had
squandered their propertyand that the barouchc and
