The Butterfly is with the Rose in love, 



Around her ftutters all day, 



But round himself, with tender gold, 



The fluttering, loving Sunbeams play. 



Yet, with whom is the Rose in love? 



That I'd know too gladly— Ah I 



Is it the singing Nightingale? 



Is it the silent Evening-star? 



I know not with whom the Rose is in love ; 



But I love you all : the pale 



Sad Rose, the Sunbeam, the Butterfly, 



Evening-star and Nightingale. 



W. P. \.— After Heine. 



I am that merry wanderer.

 extends still more narrowly along the inner side of the base of the antennae and is 

 connected on the lower portion of the front by a bro.ad white belt ; behind the eye

 vous scales; above, the head is rimmed posteriorly with fulvous scales, the space 

 just behind the antennae is black and that Ijetween them — the summit, together 

 with the front — is filled with mingled fulvous and blackish brown hairs, the former 

 predominating above, the Litter below. Palpi, excepting the apical joint, white, 

 the upper surface of the middle joint blackish brown, expanding apically so as to

 of the extreme apex ; fringe of lower surface white with a very few black scales 

 mingled at the tip ; terminal joint blackish brown, with the extreme tip, and a line 

 along the under side, white. Antennae black, the joints of the stem rather broadly 

 ainiulated at their bases with white, interrupted, at the middle of both the upper and 

 under surface, over the basal half of the antennae, and suffused so as to occupy
