FLORA’S ALBUM. 

Clematis, English. 













A vine, bearing white and pale-blue flowers. 
TRAVELER’S JOY. 
In the depths of the desert, when lonely and drear, 
The sands round the desolate traveler appear, 
The splendor of day gives no aid to his path, 
For landmark nor compass the traveler hath: 
But when night sheds her shadow and coolness 
around, 
Then hark! how the bells of the camel resound! 
For the traveler is up when the star sheds its ray 5 
passed ; 
And many are lost in their noonday of pride, 
That shines forth to dazzle, but seldom to guide. 
Oh! blest is the fate of the one who hath found 
Some loadstar to guide through the wilderness 
round ; 
And such I have found, my beloved one, in thee; 
For thou art the star of the desert to me. 
SAMUEL LOVER.
