flora’s dial. 
September IB. 
BUTTERCUP.— Ingratitude. 
Behold, false maid, yon horned light, 
Which in heaven’s arch doth range, 
And view thyself a part of it, — 
Yet she but once a month does change. 
The raging sea, the uncertain air, 
Or, what does yet mofe change admit, 
Of variations emblems ar^; 
When thou, and only thwart it. Cottoh.

CABBAGE. — Self-willed. 
Oh! she’s really a charming woman, — 
But have you observed, by-the-by, 
A something that >s rather uncommon, 
In the flash of her very bright eye ? 
It may be a fancy of mine, 
(Though her voice has a rather sharp tone,) 
But I’m told that these charming women 
Are apt to have wills of their own! 
Mrs. P. Blackwood.
