RHODODENDRON. — Danger. 
Before I gang awa from thee, 
I ’ll speak my heart out fu’ and free. 
And gin ye listen now to me, 
Ane wee Tbit wordie, • — 
’T will do ye good, my donsie, wee, 
And bonnie birdie ! 
Gch ! dinna trust admirin man ! 
He ’ll gain a heart where’er he can, 
And grasp it wi’ a cruel han, — 
And wound it sorely ! 
And then, wi’ man’s and woman’s ban, 
Ye ’ll fare but puirly ! J. W. H.

AUSTRIAN ROSE. — Very Lovely. 
I know that thou art beautiful, 
In dreams I see thy face, 
I see its dimples come and go, 
Like light in frolic grace. 
Thy rich eyes steal before mine own, 
’Neath lashes long and dark, 
And on thy softly rounded cheek, 
The maiden bloom I mark. 
Mrs. Osgood.
