THE FLORAL GIFT.

PENNY ROYAL. 
Canila Pu.legliod.es ,—Class 2, Order 13. 
A little, purgent-tasted plant, growing in stony places. 
North America. 
FLEE AWAY. 
Oh ! fly to the prairie, sweet maiden with 
me, 
’Tis as green and as wide and as wild as the 
sea, 
O’er its soft silken bosom the summer winds 
glide, 
And wave the wild grass in its billowy 
pride ; 
The fawns in the meadow-fields fearlessly 
play,— 
Then away to the chase, lovely maiden, away. 
Bound! bound to thy courser, the bison is 
near, 
And list to the tramp of the light-footed 
deer. 
J. K. Mitchell.
