o, would that could call her Ermlne,
Although she is a siucy Mink;
Fur get her No-such girls divine
In life'sdull chain are golden Lynx.
Otter tell her all my love,
And Seal that love as young Fox do,
She's purer than the saints above,
And playful as the Sqairrel, too. -E-.

May bear the orange name,
Yet breath from its dark petals
Will prove fatal just the same.

Three years had flown.

On the porch of little white cottage, all
embowered with roses, sat beautiful wo-
man, with a bright prattling child in her
arms. The birds in the trce-tops sang mer-
rily, the summer sunshine gilded the earth
with its brilliancy, the mild south wind sigh
ed softly through the verdant foliage, and
kissed lovingly the petals of the beauteous
flowers on the lawn. The child cloppcd its
little hands and crowed with delight, as
gaudy butterflies fitted by, and the mother
smiled, as only mothers can. Anon, she
spoke, and the radence vanished from her
face.
