ruE 1ANGuAGE OF FLOWERS.


y, Eastern lands they talk in flowers;
And they tell in garIands their love and cares;
zach blossom that blooms in their garden bowers,
ON its leaves mystic language bears.
The rose is the sign Of Joy and love,
Young blushing love in its earliest oa"n'
And the mldnsss that suits the gentle dove
Frora the myrtle's snowy flower is drawn
apnoc.nce dwells in the llly's bell,
Pure as "a heart in its native heaven;
Fame's bright star, and gIory's swell,
By the glossy leaf of the bay are gwen
The silent, soft, and humble heart,
In the vrelei's hidden sweetness breathes;
And the tender soul that cannot part,
A twine of evergreen fondly wreathes
To cypress that darkIy shades the grave,
IL sorrow that mourns its bitter lot;
Aud faith that thousand ills can brave,
Speaks in thy blue leaves, 'forget me not
Then Gather a wreath from the garden bowers
And tell the WISH of thy heart in flowers.
This "wicked but witty" episram is from the
French Of La Mon:
The world of fools have such store'
That he who would not see an ass
Must bide at home, and bolt his door,
And break his looking glass.
