FLORA’S DIAL. 83 
Or ought that genius may inspire. 
Ay ! greater far, and surer still, 
Than aught that comes of art or skill. 
Miss PARLEY. 
Mane 14. 
MOUNTAIN PINK. — Aspiration. 
I fain would soar to yon bright worlds of light, 
And hear the music of the rolling spheres, 
And with Creation’s organ-choir unite, 
In anthem tun^ to Him of endless years. 
0 ! for a freedom from low, grovelling thought, 
From glittering toys, and littleness of mind ! 
0 ! for that wealth that never can be bought, 
Thought pure and high, and sentiment refined. 
Lowell Offering. (M. A.) 
June 15. 
WILD PLUM. — Independence. 
I remember one that perished. Sweetly did she 
speak and move ; 
Such a one do I remember, whom to look at was to 
love. 
Can I think of her as dead, and love her for the 
love she bore ? 
No f she never loved me truly ; love is love forever 
more ! Tennyson.
