AMYGDALUS ORIENTALIS. 
Class. Order. 
ICOSANDRIA MONOGY NIA. 
This is a native of the Levant : it was re- 
ceived from France, in 1759, by Miller, 
who preserved it for many years sheltered 
by а wall, which is the best situation forit, 
the eold of our winters being in general 
greater than it can bear, when fully ex- 
posed. It may be increased by budding on 
the common almond. Its flowers are pro- 3 
duced early in the spring, and the very sil- 
very leaves have a pleasing and somewhat 
singular character 
<“ It appears plain, that the design of the 
Almighty in creation, was to display His 
own glory, and to make myriads of beings 
happy. Man, the highest order of crea- 
tures on the earth, was to find around him 
subjects for instruction, for praise, and 5 
for gratitude, eapacitating him to glorify 
God with all his powers. The heavens , 
declare the glory of ee the firmament | 
sheweth His handy wo 
liben.
