WALL FLOWER. 
Cheiranthus Cheri ,—Class 15, Order 1. 
A fragrant orange-colored flower, from me South of Europe. 
FIDELITY OF MISS FORTUNE. 
The birds, when winter shades the sky, 
Fly o’er the seas away, 
Where laughing isles in sunshine lie, 
And summer breezes play. 
And thus the friends, that flutter near 
While fortune’s sun is warm, 
Are startled if a cloud appear, 
And fly before the storm. 
But when from winter’s howling pains, 
Each other warbler’s past. 
The little snow-bird still remains 
And chirrups ’mid the blast. 
Love, like that bird, whenfriendship’s throng 
With fortune’s sun depart, 
Still lingers with its cheerful song, 
And nestles on the heart. 
William Legget.
