~~ OLLI LLL OL LOLOL LL OLLI

PHE CAPTIVE HUMMING-BIRD,

Fleet-fiying gem of burnished crest, And silver-tipped wing;

With azure, gold, and sapphire breast, olian captive thing !—

Tel! me the secret of thy song, And whence thy robe of beams,

if to the earth thou dost belong, Or paradise of dreams.

Born fur one season, ofa ray, To banquet mid the bowers; @ yr will thou chant another May,

Sweet minstrel of the flowers ?

The coyest honeysuckles still ‘Lheir daintiest buds unfold,

For thee to kiss, with honeyed bill, Their nectar-lips of gold.

Phe lily opes its snowy cell; The pink, its crimnson door; “Sip.” whispers every fond blue-bell, +*My honey to the core.”

While blashing flowers for thee all fling Their fragrance on the air,

The purple morning-glorles cling (in high, in beauty bare.

The tiay chalice of the thyme, And daisies, plead below,—

Bach dewey-vyed, too small to climb,— “Come kiss me ere you go.”

Away on thy melodious wing To Love s mysterious bowers, Still thy free band of minstrels bring To revel mid the flowers.

Breathe on their bosoms fair and sweet, And rosy lips apart,

And give and take, in Love’s retreat, The honey of thy heart.

Cheese Curing.— A curing-room for new- milk cheese should be from sixty-five to seventy degrees; for partially skimmed gheese, from seventy to seventy-five; for juli skims, from seVeuty-five to eighty.
