THE FLORAL GIFT. 61 
HAZEL. 
Corylua Americana ,—Class 21, Order 8. 
A slender North American shrub, blossoming very early. 
RECONCILIATION. 
There’s gladness now in every thing, 
And beauty over all, 
For every where comes on with spring, 
A charm which cannot pall! 
The friends I once condemned, are now 
Affectionate and true ; 
I wept a pledged one’s broken vow—• 
But he proves faithful too. 
And now there is a happiness 
In every thing I see, 
Which bids my soul rise up and bless 
The God who blesses me. 
Mrs. Dinnies.
