270 FLORAL EMBLEMS. 



RICHES. 



WHEAT. Triiicum. 



" Of golden wheat, the strength of human life." 



Philips. 



Floral hieroglyphics have not a more ap- 

 propriate emblem than that of representing 

 riches by this gift of Ceres. 



Without content no man can be rich, and 

 it will always be found that there is a greater 

 proportion of wealthy poor people, than of 

 rich in content. 



" What riches give us, let us first enquire, 



Meat, fire, and clothes ; what more ? meat, clothes, and 

 fire." 



Pope.
