THE BLIND BOY.

The day was bright and beautiful
The boys to play had gone,
Save one who sat beside the door,
Detected and alone;
And as the tones of merry sport
Came family to his ear,
He sighed, and from his swelling lids
He brushed the falling tear.
His little heart was rent with pain
He could not join the play;
lie could not run about the fields,
Nor by the brook-side stray;
The rolling hoop, the bounding ball,
The kite borne by the wind
The acorn hunt was nought TO him,
For he, alas. was blind.
lie could not see the setting sun,
And watch the glowing skies
Tho beauty of the moon and stars
Fell not upon his eyes
The rainbow, when it SPAWNED the clouds,
Was lost unto his sight
And waving woods, and sparkling streams
For all TO him was NIGHT!
These truths came fresh into his mind,
While sitting thus apart
No wonder that the tear-drops fell,
And heavy was his heart.
All little did the youthful throng,
Whose hearts were full of Joy,
Reflect upon the lonely state
OF that poor sightloss boy.

CIRCUMSTANCES make the man, and often,
as in the present case, the book. For years
there has been a steadily increasing interest
felt for the vegetable kingdom. Lately this
taste has been partially gratifed by the Lite
r,ry Magazines, which owe their popularity
in a great measure TO the beautiful flower
prints that adorn them. One specimen a
month, however, is not enough, nor is it re-
quired in such connection. A work relating
exclusively to the subject is wanted by the
public, and this want the present enterprise
is intended 10 supply.
We will mention in tho outset that no uni
yersal panacel will be found in its pages
We have never heard 4 secret worth knowing
from, nor being cured Of deadly disease, by
an indian, or a seventh son Of a seventh son,
or any of the genus; the medical prctensions

Preceded by a short introduction on Phys
iology, and review Of the Natural and Lin
nasau Systems, the work will be devoted to
a separate consideration of each plant. To-
gether with our own information, we shall
draw from the standard works on Chemistry.
Botany, and Medicine, combining every use
full item Of knowledge and without lessening
lis value, present it in a concise and pleasing
form. Obtaining our supplies from the same
sources as the bee, we hope to secrete as ole-
giant a sweet for the mind as it does for the
body. The properties of each, more espe-
cially the medicinal, will be confirmed in a

OF wild and careless play,

And my locks arc not yet gray.
For it stirs the blood in an old mans heart,
And makes his pulses fly,
TO catch the thrill of a happy voice,
And the light of a pleasant eye.

And they say that am old,
And my heart is ripe for the reaper, death,
And my years are well nigh told.
It is very true-it is very true
I'm old, and | 'bide my time
But my heart will leap at a scene like this,
And half rcncw my prime.
Play on! play on! I am with you there,
In the midst Of your merry ring;

And the rush of the breathless swing.

And | whoop the slnothered call,
And my feet slip up on the seedy floor,
And | care not for the fall.
| am willing to die whenmy time shall come,
And | shall be glad to 90,
For the world at best is a weary place,
And my pulse is getting low
But the grave is dark, and the heart will fai

And it wiles my heart from its droariness,

A traveller, speaking of honesty in Swift
zeTIand says, it is customary for those who
have found anything lost, even money, to aE-
fix it to IA large crucifN in the church-yard
and there is not an example on record of an
article being taken away, except by the right
full owner.

One may live as a conlueror, a king or a
