By the same. Mrs MART GRIFFITH, the scientific Apiarian of New 

 Brunswick. 



By Capt. Nicholson, of U. S. Navy. Agriculture, Horticulture and 

 Commerce the graces of civilization. 



The following Song, written jor the occasion by Mr FINN, of tht 

 Tremont Theatre, was sung by him : 



" Let one great day, 



To celebrated sports and floral play 



Be set aside." PRIOR. 

 This is our Rome, and I 

 A Flamen Pomonalis ; 

 I' 11 prove in Men's pursuits, 

 Some HORTICULTURAL is ; 

 But while the glass goes round, 

 Let not a sucker stray, Sirs ; 

 Transported by the vine, 

 'Twould be our Botany bay, Sirs. 

 The Fmits of Horticulture, 

 You '11 find in every shape, Sirs, 

 Our sailors stem the Currant, 

 In battle,/orce the Grape, Sirs. 

 King George, in olden Thyme, 

 Could not with .Srpear-inint loyal, 

 Compel our soldiers Sage, 

 To pay the Penny-Royal. 

 A lawyer in his books, 

 Discovers foliation, 

 And often makes his bread 

 By a Jioiver-y oration ; 

 The Sportsman likes the Turf 

 To train his cattle jadish, 

 If he buys a reddish horse, 

 He 's sure to like Horse-radish. 

 Fairest of Eden's flowers 

 Was Woman, ere farewell, Sirs, 

 She bade to Eden's fruit, 

 The fatal Nonpareil, Sirs. 

 Here's WOMAN ! from the time 

 Creation's pencil drew lips, 

 And the breathings of the Rose, 

 That lives upon her two-lips. 

 And when at Gretna greens 

 Young ladies wish a frolic, 

 If Pa says " Can't-elope," 

 Why they'feel JtfeZon-cholic ; 

 Good wives the Nursery love, 

 Their tender plants to feed, Sirs, 

 And widows wish, sub-rosa, 

 To throw aside their weeds, Sirs.
