9G FLORAL EMBLEMS. 



CONFIDENCE. 



Hepatic A, or Noble Liver Wort. — Anemone Heimtka. 



" Here blushing Flora paints th' enamell'd ground, 

 Where frosts have whiten'd ^11 the naked groves." 



Pope. 



This beautiful little flower is made the em- 

 blem of confidence, because it dares the rigours 

 of the season. 



" Say, lovely gem, why dost thou come 



So early in the year ? 

 When no flowers beside thee bloom. 

 And through the clouds and winter's gloom, 



The sun-beams scarce appear," 



CONJUGAL fidelity. 



Lime, or Linden Tree. — Tilia. 



" And the hme at eve 



Diffusing odours." 



Cowper. 



It is not easy to surmise why the linden 

 tree is made the representative of this blessing.
