WORK OF THE YEAR.
It is some 16 months since you did me the honour of electing me President of your Society, and I feel that I have not altogether justified your confidence and that this period has not been too fruitful of work in the furtherance of horticulture in the Colony, Forthis I crave your indulgence. We have carried on under some difficulties. For a considerable portion of the time we have been without an Hon, Secretary, and no less than four gentlemen have acted as Hop. Treasurer, and of the Committee there has always been a large pro portion on leave. I am glad to re port, however, that Mr. A. Piercy

SEPARATED
Gypaying in my dreams all
night long, at last
The sights converged, into a
dream forest, Surrounded on all sides by hills,
and trees; And in the midst of these, I saw
a church, Looming out in the distance;
——and her spirea___ Seemed to tower dimly to the
heavens:
While the whole vista was robed
in a shroud
Of scattered, bloodshot flames.
J
Then I heard a cry.
A woman's piercing cry of
despair.
*
It was a voice, a sweet one from
the past
Calling in agonised fright-YES,
the voice
Of her who was my "most dearly
- beloved;
Who was torn from my side, and
lost to me
For ever so long, that I gave up
hope
Of happiness, and spent my days,
in gall.
I rushed to her, all anxious, and
to full
Of joy, and anguished thoughts;
and gained
The precincts at last, of that rag-
log'scena:
And though flame-jets
circling around me,
were
I did not stop, until I made the
church
Which stood alone, unscared by
the flames.
I ran down the aisle, searched
pallid faces,
But not a sign of her, until she
met.
My expectant gazo, from a lone
angle;
And God, I rushed, and caught
her in my arms And kissed her, kissed her, more
and more.
Then I awoke But firm reality was still a
blank;
And through the opacity of the
night
A voice, as if from heaven's
oracle,
Revealed my dream to me-It
said,
The forest you saw is the
border-land.
Where those marooned, from
the tempestuous seas
Of married life will eventually
go
The scattered flames are evils
that beset
The dear ones that will-live as
things apart;
And the church, with spires
rising to heaven A
Is the symbol of love, that leads
to God
And its immunity, from the wild
flames,
Are the prayers, withal, the pure
love.
From you, which will protect
your beloved ones'
