Hawthorn. 
“Now Hawthorns blossom, now the Daisies spring.” 
Fair Hope, with light and buoyant form, 
Came smiling through the clouds of care ; 
Glanced bright defiance on the storm, 
And hung her bow of promise there. 
Mbs. Osgood. 
Once on a time, from scenes of light, 
An angel winged his airy flight; 
Down to this earth, in haste he came. 
Anil wrote, in lines of living flame. 
These words on every thing he met, 
« Cheer up, be not discouraged yet! ” 
Then back to heaven with speed he flew, 
And tuned his golden harp anew; 
Whilst the angelic throng came round. 
To catch the soul-inspiring sound; 
And heayen was filled with new delight, 
Dor HotEhad been to earth that night. 
John S. Adams.
