Excerpt from Wild Flowers of the Year IN giving some account of the Wild Flowers of each month, the author has selected those which are most common, and most likely to be known by name to the general reader. To have enumerated each flower of each month, would have occupied so much space, as to render these few pages no more than a floral dictionary. The writer would regard the work as a little guide-book to the fields, and lanes, and woods; designed to direct the attention of the lover of country walks, to the lowly flowers, which he may be most likely to find in his path.

Excerpt from Wild Flowers Lo! The herds have abandoned their flocks beloved, The wise'men have journeyed from'distant parts, TO proffer their incense, gold, and myrrh, Whilst we have naught but our sin-stained hearts. Oh, these sin-stained hearts! We pause in distress; Our hope'and joy for a while are chilled'; But anon we picture the Babe's sweet eyes Our courage revives, our fears are stilled. For the heart that is sad with remembered sin, The heart that is weary and sore oppressed, Or the poor heart crushed with some untold pain, May be just the heart that the Child loves best. Anon we will pass through the cold, drear night TO the stable blest, our homage to pay, And there will we kneel at the manger's side, In a thrill of delight, till the dawn Of day.
