THE FLORAE GIFT. 
BOX. 
Buxus Semper virens —Class 21, Order 4. 
Dwarf evergreen shrubs, from Europe. 
INDIFFERENCE. 
Take back, take back thy promises, 
Take back, take back thy love, 
They say ’tis ail ideal bliss 
Fleeting as sunbeams move : 
And that ’twill quickly pass away, 
And not a chord remain 
To vibrate at affection’s touch, 
With such sweet joy again. 
Then give me back the light, warm heart 
I held in youth’s bright morn; 
It can’t endure indifference, 
’Twould break beneath thy scorn. 
Mrs. Locke.
