ENGLISH VIOLETS.

When all the other flowers are gone
The English violet still blooms on,
And filings its fragrance, sweet and
rare,
Irpon the keen and wintry air
There's scarce a month in all the year
That does not find it smiling here,
TO bring us cheering thoughts OF
spring,
AS sweetly, bravely blossoming,
When skies are gray, or skies are blue,
Fit emblem of friendship true,
That changes not with changing sky,
Rut blooms the same as time goes by;
And so these little flowers, / send
With kindly greetings to my friend.

on the other soon crumble and perish
that Mr.. Shaw had invested in man
kind. in immortality that shall last
through all the ages. 1t was practi-
cal but grand effort and moved the
entire audience. President Meserve
was equally as pathetic in the short
address which he delivered, and re-
counted some of the many things that
Mr.. Shaw had done for the institution
over which he presides, and through
it for the colored people of the State
Of North Carolina and the entire South.
