The Rose.
GRose. thou art The sweetest lower

Rose thou art the fondest child
Of dimpled sprine-tho wood nymph wild.n
The rose-lhe sslady rose, a. The poets
have designated this queen Of beauty, claims
no inconsiderable portion of the attention Of |
those Of all classes who are tho flowers admi-
lTeFs. IN the poetic 4 son Il Is not easy TO
define, except from its exquisite combina-
lion Of perfume, fem. and color, which has
lentitled this sovereign Of flowers in one
country to be mated with the nightingale,
lin another to be chosen, with the distinction
lof red and white, as the badge Of two hon.
orable houses. II would Be difficult to trace
the supremacy Of the rose to It's origin, but
mankind have so generally agreed in paying
homage 10 her charms, that our associations
in the present day are chiefly With The poetic
stFains in which they are celebrated. After
all the pains that have been taken. to pro-
cure, transplant, aud propagate he rose,
there is one kind peFpetually blooming a.
round US through the summer months, with
out the aid OF interference Of man, which
seems 10 defy his art 10 introduce rival 10
lis own unparalleled beauty-the common
wild rose. Blooming in the1steriie waste,
this lovely flower Is seen unfolding its fair
leaves where there is no beauty to reflect
I It's own, and thus calling back the heart of
!. the weary traveller to thoughts Of peace and
: Joy; reminding him that the wilderness Of
human life, though rugged and barren 70 the
disconnected beholder, has also its sweet
flowers; not the less welcome for being un-
looked for, nor the less lovely fOI being cher
