«►— /(>— ^'*v>^ I IE Globe Amaranth is a tender annual from the flowery 

 \alcs of India. It is valued chiefly for its heads of bright, 

 lound, purple flowers, which, if gathered when freshly blos- 

 sonuil will retain their brilliancy for years. The white 

 \anet\ is cultivated for the same purpose, the two forming 

 \tiv pretty bouquets for winter. The seeds are enveloped 

 HI a cotton} substance, which should be removed before planting, 

 • IS it hinders the process of germination. 



CHANGE but in (iving, and no holier vow 

 From lips mortal e'er came than I breathe to thee n( 

 It comes from a heart with love lor thee sighing; 

 Believe me, 'tis true — I change but in dying. 



—John S. Adati 



T WAS not false to thee, and yet 

 •'■ My cheek alone look'd pale! 

 My weary eye was dim and wet, 



My strength began to fail; 

 Thou wert the same; thy looks were gay, 



Thy step was light and free: 

 And yet, with truth my heart can say, 



I was not false to thee. 



— Mrs. Norton. 



T WOULD not leave thee did I know 

 *■ That all the world's reproach were true 

 That 'neath some great temptation's power 



Thy soul had lost its native hue; 

 Had dyed itself with darkest guilt; 



Had plunged without remorse in crime: 

 Not even then would I forsake — 



Thine, and thine only, for all time.

 Than my unchang'd affccti 





pHANGELESS as the greenest leaves 

 ^ Of the wreath the cypress weaves — 

 Hopeless often when most fond — ; 

 Without hope or fear beyond 

 Its own pale fidelity.

— Park Benjamin. 



and with all of eloquence thou hast. 



The burning story of my love discover; 



And if the theme should fail, alas! to move her, 



Tell her when youth's gay summer-flowers are past, 



Like thee, my love will blossom till the last!
