Ohs. The episcopal see of Carthage had remained vacant 

 twenty four years, when in 481 Humeric permitted the Catholics on 

 certain conditions to choose one who should fill it. Eugenius, a citi- 

 zen of Carthage, eminent for his zeal, learning, piety, and prudence, 

 was nominated. After many persecutions, St. Eugenius was ba- 

 nished into the uninhabited desert country in the province of Tripo- 

 lis. He returned to Carthage, and was a second time banished 

 mto Languedoc. He died in his exile in a monastery which he 

 built and governed at Viance, in the year 505, on the 13th of July.

Blue Lupins have usually more flowers, but the Common Yellow 

 Lupin is often preferred for its sweet scent. The flowers of this 

 Lupin are of very short duration, especially if the season be warm ; 

 therefore to have a succession of them the seed should be sown at 

 several times, for they will continue to flower until checked by frost, 

 an 1 those which blow in the autumn will last longer than the earlier 

 ones. Lupins may be sown from the beginning of February to the 

 end of June ; they may be sown six or seven in a pot of as many 

 inches diameter. Towards the end of June they will sometimes 

 begin to flower. It is safer to keep such as are sown in February in 

 the hou«e, until the frosts be securely over ; but this precaution will 

 not be necessary if the season be mild. They should be watered in 

 the spring, and when the weather becomes warm they may, when 

 there is no rain, be watered every evening. About sunset the 

 leaves will droop as if dying, in the same manner as those of the 

 Balsam. 



The White Lupin is eaten in Italy, and whole fields of it are 

 grown, of which Virgil speaks :
