VERSES AND RHYMES BY THE WAY.

BY NORA PEMBROKE.

There are poor Mango's poems, which James Batter and me think excellent, and if any one think otherwise, I wad just thank them to write better at their leisure." --Mansie Wauch

"All beneath the unrivalled rose The lowly daisy sweetly blows, Though large the forest monarch throws His army shade, Yet green the juicy hawthorne grows Adown the glade."

--Burns

To Mrs. Irving, PEMBROKE.

I dedicate these verses to one whom I hold dear, One who in the dark days drew in Christian kindness near May He who led me all my life do so and more to me If ever I forget the debt of love I owe to thee.
