THE CHILD AND THE BUTTERFLY. Oh, butterfly, how do you, pray,Your wings so prettily array?Where do you find the paints from whichTo mix your colors, warm and rich ?

My palette is a rose-leaf fair,My brush is formed of maiden-hair,And dewdrops shining in the grassServe nicely for my looking-glass ! —Nixon Watkrman. 06 OCiOUEk, 1^04 The beautiful is as useful as the useful.—Victor Hugo.
