they will. It is indeed one of those problems 
which can be solved in no other way than 
by immediate reference to the Almighty 
Creator. He has endowed these plants with 
this faculty; and not one of His creatures, 
even the wisest of them, can assign a rea- 
son why. They may examine, they must 
admire, and if the study of such a subject 
does but assist to humble them in their own 
eyes, and to raise their minds towards the 
Author of their being; who can tellin how 
great a degree the end of its creation may 
be answered?
