ROWING in our Northern States, and generally throughout 

 the temperate zone, this tree is well known. Anyone living 

 near woodlands must be familiar with its white blossoms that 

 lie like a pall of snow over the tree. It is about twenty or 

 twenty-five feet in height, the body being small and covered 

 with a rough bark, which possesses excellent tonic properties, 

 bimiiai to the celebrated barks of the cinchona trees of Peru, and 

 known as Peruvian or Jesuit's bark, as it was first introduced into 

 medical practice by the missionaries of that society. The name is 

 from the Latin coriiu, horn, because of the hardness of its wood: 

 and florida., flowery.

'T'HERE still exists a rank which tar transceni 

 The stars and coronets that shine in courts 

 It takes no sounding name to make men stare; 

 No blazoning heraldry proclaims its pomp; 

 Its modest title is, plain honesty. 



ONOR and glory were given to cherish; 

 Cherish them, then, though all else should dei 

 ix to perish, 



Though homely be its garb, though coarse its fare 

 And though it live unnoticed by the crowd; 

 Still, spite of fashion's fools, the honest man 

 Is yet the highest noble of the land !

 For man by nothing is so well bewraved 

 As by his manners, in which plain is shown 

 Of what degree and what race he is grown.

And pays the sea in tributary tides. 



Be bribe sufficient to corrupt thy breast, 



Oi' violate with dreams th\- peaceful rest.
