THE FLORAL GIFT. 
PEA. 
Visum Sativum ,—Class 17, Order 4. 
The flower of a garden esculent, of many varieties, and 
of various hues.—Europe. 
AN APPOINTED MEETING. 
I see —I see a bright, bright star 
Upon the moonlit sea— 
Oh no, it is the gondola, 
Which brings my love to me ; 
For gaily—gaily now it flies, 
Nor heeds it yon deep sea, 
While notes of love with richness rise,— 
Those notes, how dear to me. 
Those notes—those notes are dearer far, 
Now floating o’er the sea, 
Than beams from off the pilot-star, 
To mariners can be. 
But gaily—gaily comes my star, 
My lover’s form I see— 
How sweetly sounds his light guitar, 
“ I come my love to thee.”
