3 IBURNUM or Laurestine is a fine, handsome, evergreen 
shrub, a native of Europe, and in our Northern States is 
‘ ‘considered as more adapted for the house than the lawn, 
{Owhere it can be placed, in the Southern States. The flowers 
ae in small clusters, and are scarcely a pure white, having a 
\ slight tinge of red; they appear in early spring. There is a new, 
OR * sweet-scented variety from China, but it is said to bloom less freely. 
3 Some few others are also desirable, and no doubt in a few years they 
- will become thoroughly hardy, as they lack but little of the required 
f amount of vigor. .

Y heart seems breaking, Philip, as I linger all alone, 
And there comes no sound of comfort save the ocean’s restless moan; 
I stretch my arms to heaven, and pray for your return, 
But the hope that dies, and the love that lives, can only pant and yearn. 
—Christian Reid. 
HERE, as she sought repose, her sorrowing heart Those eyes still swim incessantly in tears; 
Recall’d her absent love with bitter sighs; Hope in her cheerless bosom fading dies, 
Regret had deeply fix’d the poison’d dart, Distracted by a thousand cruel fears, 
Which ever rankling in her bosom lies: While banish’d from his love forever she appears. 
In vain she seeks to close her weary eyes, —Mrs, Tighe. 
BOAT at midnight sent alone 
To drift upon the moonless sea, 
A lute whose leading chord is gone, 
A wounded bird that hath but one 
Imperfect wing to soar upon, 
Are like what I am without thee. 
—Moore, 
YAIR tree of winter! fresh and flowering, Green are thy leaves, more purely green 
When all around is dead and dry; Through every changing period seen; 
Whose ruby buds, though storms are lowering, And when the gaudy months are past, 
Spread their white blossoms to the sky. Thy loveliest season is the last. —sfontoomery.
