THE ORIENTAL LANGUAGE, AND 
Pleasures of 
Memory. 
Periwinkle 
Thy v rdant leaves ami a/.ure fioweis, 
Recalled to Rosseau’s mind 
The memories of oygone hours, 
And friends whose hearts were kind. 
Pliability. Osier 
The bending Osier we mav twist and wind. 
Emblem ol pliability of mind. 
Sweet Briar 
Poetry, 
Oh, Eglantine, sweet Eglantine, 
How mb a dower of se«.nt is thi.ie! 
A perfume sweet unto the sense, 
As poetry’s own eloquence, 
Of deepest, tenueiest fee ing born, 
Anu bearing, e’en like ihce, a thorn. 
Uistus 
Popular favour, 
The little Rock Rose, oil it fades in a d: 
As popular favour passes away. 
Poverty, Evergreen Clematis 
Friends fly when poverty approaches ne*r; 
Not so the evergreen ttint clingeth still. 
And strives the desolate of heart to cheer. 
Lacking the power, may be, hut not the will
