ELIOTROPE is a small and elegant shrub about two feet 



gh, a native of Peru. The flowers bloom in clusters, and 



e of a delicate lavender or purple tint, with the fragrance 



vanilla, and are especially desirable for bouquets. It is 



![^\^said that Clytie, who had been loved and deserted by 



Apollo, seeing his attachment for her sister Leucothea, 



;^|ir^ pined a\^a^, with her eyes gazing continually upon the sun, and was 



'^nfcat last turned into a flower called Sunflower, or Heliotrope. The 



name is derived from the Greek Helios, sun, and trefo, to turn. It 



53^9 is also called Turnsole, from its turning to Sol, the Latin for sun. 

 It was introduced into France by Jessieu, about 1 740. There are 

 several other flowers that follow the course of the sun, the best 

 known being probably the common yellow Sunflower. 



D 



EVOTIOX'S self shall ste.il a thought IVotn heaven; 

 One human tear shall drop, and be forgiven. 



—Pop,: 



T GIVE thee prayers, like jewels strung 

 On golden threads of hope and fear; 

 And tenderer thoughts than ever hung 

 In a sad angel's pitying tear. 



TN vain doth man the name of just expect 

 * If his devotions he to God neglect. 



As earth pours freely to the sea 



Her thousand streams of wealth u 



So flows my silent life to thee. 



Glad that its very sands are gold. 



LOVE her for that loving trusi 

 That makes the one she loves 

 id faith that's blind in loving; 



— Sir J. Denham. 

 A love that smiles away all tears, 

 And looks not way beyond these years, 

 To see what love is proving. _c. C. C 







NE grain of incense with devotion offered 

 'S beyond all perfumes or Sabsan spices 

 one that proudly thinks he merits it. 



— Maf:^inffer.
