FLORA’S ALBUM. 

Locust. 

SS 
An ornamental tree. Blossoms white and fragrant. 





AFFECTION BEYOND THE GRAVH. 
Haste! messenger to heaven, and bear 
These tidings to the souls we love: 
Tell them we have been faithful here, 
Since they left us to dwell above. 







—— 

Haste! tell them we do not forget, 







That we will remember ever ; 
That when on earth our sun hath sef, 
We shall meet no more to sever. 







That our love is that which ‘iveth. 
When from earth, friends pass away 5 
And the tear affection giveth, 














On the sorrowing, parting day ;— 




Seals the bond by which we know, 
We shall meet, no more to part; 
And that, freed from care and woe, 
Heart shall sweetly blend with heart. 
Joun S. ADAMS.
