special notice. The grain is bearded white
wheat, with large head and grains, the ave-
rage height through the whole field being,

Beside the stream that gently flows,
AT morning dawn saw rose
In modest beauty blushing
More fair than all on earth beside,
1t bent above the crystal tide,
And listened to its gushing.
Beside the stream that gently flows,
Al eventide saw the rose,
But all its leaves were faded
Such is thy fate, oh man an hour
Thou liv'st in home, but like the flower,
Thy hope and joys shaded.
