HENNEDYA, a native of New South Wales, is found in the 

 conservatory or greenhouse, occupying a prominent position 

 among the beautiful climbers, some of the species, however, 

 being as yet quite rare. The commonest variety has either blue 

 1 crimson flowers. There are others with scarlet, purple, and 

 iiL- with nearly black, flowers. They grow readily from seed, 

 i^h should be soaked in warm water previous to planting, and 

 be grown in pots, or placed in the ground when the weather is 

 and settled. The pots should be well drained.

Degraded, wisdom in discourse with her 

 Loses discount'nanced, and like foil}' shows. 



—Milton. 



Ill ARK her majestic fabric! she 's a temple

 Her soul 's the deity that lodges there ; 

 Nor is the pile unworthy of the god. —Drydc

 Or the eye's luster, or the step of air. 



Or color, but the beautiful links that chain 

 The mind from its rare elements. —Willis. 



'T'HINK of her worth, and think that God did mean 

 This worthy mind should worthy things embrace; 

 Blot not her beauties with th_y thoughts unclean. 

 Nor her dishonor with thy passion base. —Sir J. Davies.
