^^ 



GRIMONY, a plant well known to the Greeks and Romans, 



^ and by them very highly esteemed for its healing properties, 



? was at one time thought superior to all others known to 



science as medicinal. Some authors derive the name from 



HJ the Greek '■'■argema, the web or pearl of the eye, a disease 



^^il^ of which it was supposed to cure." Several plants under 



this name are found throughout the United States, in the fields and 



woods. The flowers are small and yellow, in long, slender racemes. 



The plants vary in height from one to three feet, some of them being 



quite aromatic.

POR she hath lived with heart and soul alive 

 To all that makes life beautiful and fair; 



Sweet thoughts, like honey-bees, have made their hive 

 Of her soft bosom-cell, and cluster there. 



—Amelia B. Welby. 



'piIROUGH all his tuneful art how strong 



The human feeling gushes! 

 The very moonlight of his song 



Is warm with smiles and blushes. 



— J. G. WhittU: 



T UNDERSTOOD not that a grateful mind 



By owing owes not, but still pays, at once 



Indebted and discharg'd. —Milton. 



QOUL, where thoughts like to white- winged angels, 

 ^ Brood in the hush of this dim, dark eve. 

 Whisper to me thy sweet evangels. 



Whisper and sigh, but do not grieve; 

 Out of the depths of thy charmed chambers 



Raise me a song that shall thrill afar; 

 Kindle thy fires, blow bright thine embers, 



Gleam on her soul like the gleam of a star. 

 — Barton Grey.

 There is a soul counts thee her creditor, 

 And with advantage means to pay thy love.
