THE YOUNG FLORIST, 



vigilance. See, he seems occasionally to 

 take a sip with the bees, by way of variety. 



Margaret. How much there is this morning 

 to amuse us, and lead our minds up to Him, 

 who has filled the earth with his goodness, and 

 who has for our gratification, given us the 

 varied and fragrant flower, the beautiful bird 

 with his gay plumage and exhilarating notes, 

 and all the pleasant scenery before us. 



H. But there are thousands who have eyes 

 to see, and ears to hear, and yet pass the 

 beauties of creation unnoticed, and see not 

 God in his lovely works, and instead of going 

 on their way rejoicing, are filled with misery 

 and complaint, and go mourning and grumbling 

 to their graves. Our dear father says, this is 

 in a great measure owing to a deficiency of 

 early education; their minds not having been 

 directed when young, to admire the works of 

 the Most High.
