Natural Order: LobeliaceaâLobelia Family, a m. \THIEU LOBEL, a French botanist resident in England ^ d physician to James the First, was honored by having jF ids this class of flowers named for him, while this variety btained its distinctive title from its rich scarlet or cardinal olor. It is a tall plant of exceeding beauty, found in '??<'â meadows, especially near streams of running water, where its bright face is mirrored on the gleaming surface. It was intro- duced into England from America, of which it is a native, during colonial times, and has ever since enjoyed the admiration of florists and amateur cultivators. The flowers are of a deep scarlet, and each blossom about two inches in length, arranged on a fine, nod- ding stem. These appear during the whole summer. Jrj^brmini, TTTHEN knaves come to preferment, they rise as Gallows are raised in the low countries, one Upon another's shoulders. 'TT'IS sweet, beloved, to have thee nigh, In pleasant converse thus with me. For while these social moments fly, I feel my heart still clings to thee. Yes, clings to thee with stronger ties Than e'er I felt or knew before, As day by day some charm supplies That makes me bless thee more and more. âThomas G. Spear, â Webster. TF to feel the deep de^â otion Of a pilgrim at a shrine, If to weep with fond emotion Be to love thee, I am thine. If to treasure every token. Every look and every sign. Every light word thou hast spoken. Be to love thee, I am thine. Mrs, V, E. Howard. TIE who cannot merit Preferment by employments, let him bare His throat unto the Turkish cruelty, Or die or live a slave, without redemption. â'John Ford, 74.
