THE YOUNG FLORIST. 



storm is raging without, I can witness its ap- 

 proach with pleasure. 



H. Had we a perpetual summer and a 

 continued succession of flowers, we should 

 perhaps soon become indifferent, and esteem 

 them of little value ; but now, after we have 

 been sated with them, as it were, they are 

 taken from us and laid aside for the present, 

 that we may enjoy new pleasures, and be pre- 

 pared to enjoy them with a keener relish when 

 spring again bursts upon us.
