PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. 



The welcome reception given to my first ven- 

 ture of "Wanny Blossoms" encourages me to 

 give a second edition, to which I have added (in 

 verse and'prose), several new subjects, including 

 Songs, Fishing, Fox and Otter Hunting, and 

 other Border Sports and Pastimes, in which 

 many of my readers doubtless take an interest.
