THE FLOWER VASE. 
MIMOSA, 
Mimosa. Class 16. — Order 10. 
Flowers pale purple, contracting when touched. 
Sensitiveness. 
Your heart is a music box, dearest! 
With exquisite tunes at command, 
Of melody sweetest and clearest, 
If tried by a delicate hand; 
But its workmanship, love, is so fine, 
At a single rude touch it would break: 
Then oh! be the magic key mine, 
Its fairy-like whispers to wake! 
Mrs. F. S. Osgood.
