TOWN THOUGHTS FROM THE COUNTRY.

( WITH THE USUAL APOLOGIES. )

Oh, to be in London now that April's there, And whoever walks in London sees, some morning, in the Square, That the upper thousands have come to Town, To the plane trees droll in their new bark gown, While the sparrows chirp, and the cats miaow In London now! And after April, when May follows And the black coats come and go like swallows! Mark, where yon fairy blossom in the Row Leans to the rails, and canters on in clover, Blushing and drooping, with her head bent low! That's the wise child: she makes him ask twice over, Lest he should think she views with too much rapture Her first fine wealthy capture! But, though her path looks smooth, and though, alack, All will he gay, till Time has painted black The Marigold , her Mother's chosen flower, Far brighter is my Heartsease , Love's own dower.

A WANT. "There is only one thing," a visitor writes to us, "that I missed at Venice, S.W. I've never been to the real place, which is the Bride, or Pride, of the Sea, I forget which, but, as I was saying, there's only one thing I miss, and that is the heather.
