INSECT SKNSKS. 



" In the nice Bee, what sense so subtly true, 

 From poisonous herbs extracts the healing dew V " 



THIS lovely spring-time has brought round a grand festival 

 a feast of the Senses, which seated, as sisters, at nature's 

 bounteous board, are now being specially regaled, each with a 

 " dainty dish ''' peculiarly suited to her liking. 



The Sight now banquets on the vernal landscape as day by 

 day the trees put on fresh tints of beauty, and as 



" Daisies pied and violets blue 

 And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue, 

 Do paint the meadows with delight."
