To find these bright flags,
In the marsh you must hunt.
A Zigadenus flower,
Changing color each month.



TROTTY'S CARD HORSES.

This stands
Firm, and strong
Another one
We'll build hereon.
Keep away,
Now we'll see,
If 'twill hold
A number three.
Try another,
One more,
Raise it to
A fourth floor.
Yet another;
Oh, what fun!
That's too many—
Down they come.

THE FIRST VALENTINE.
