This is, as is well known, the badge of the Scotch Order of the Thistle and St. Andrew, together with a gold chain interlaced with Thistle and rue. The motto of the Order is " Nemo me impune lacessit;" which, for our fair friends, we put into English, "No one annoys me with impunity;" a very suitable motto for Scotchmen in the days when the warlike spirit of their race was fully developed, by the invading attacks of relentless foes. THORN APPLE (Datura Stramonium).—Deceitful Charms. The Thorn Apple has been compared to the capricious beauty who, unseen in the open light of day, sparkles only in the light which illuminates saloons and ball-rooms. There she displays her charms, and delighting in admiration, allures the young and ardent of the opposite sex, upon whom she has no heart to bestow. Some of the species have an agree- able odour, but they are poisonous ; though others, in the hands of skilful practitioners, are useful. 198.
