Shall we call her then, Violet, modest and

Or fresh little Daisy, with pure golden

Or heavenly Lily, onr Easter-day flower.
Or Pansy for heart's cast, that soothes
sorrow's smart?
Oh! there's never a flower in earth's fairest

Or gem In her mine, to give us a name
Rarely sweet and precious enough
To tell what our love for the darHng would

We name her, then, after a loved one below.

Don't Leave the Farm.
Come, boy , I have something to tcli you;
Come near, I would whisper it lew
Tou are thinking of leaving the homestead,
Don't be in a hurry to go.
The city has many attractions!
But think of the vice and sins
When once in the vertex of fashion.
How soon the course downward begins.
Tou talk of the mine of Australia,
They're wealthy in guld, without doubt;
But, ah! there's gold on the farm, boys.
If you will but shoves' it out.
The mercantile life is a horard.
The goods are first high and then lew.
Better risk the old farm a while longer
Don't be in a hurry to go.
The great stirring world has Inducements,
There is many a gay, busy mart.
But wealth is not xna'c is a day, boys.
Don't be in a hurry to start!
The bankers and brokers are wealthy.
They take In their thousands or so;
Ah, think of the frauds and deceptions
Don't be is a hurry to go.
The fans is the safest and surest.
The orchards are budding to-day;
You're free as the sir of the mountains.
And monarch of afl you survey;
Better stay on the farm a while longer.
Though proCts should come rather slew;
Eemember you've settling ta risk, boys
Dost be is a hurry to go!
