flora’s dial. 83 
Or ought that genius may inspire. 
Ay! greater far, and surer still, 
Than aught that comes of art or skill.

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 tunes 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.) 
Stme 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! she never loved me truly ; love is love forever 
more! Tennyson.
