This is a native of Caucasus, lately 

 introduced into this country : it is a dwarf 

 kind, flowering in the months of June and 

 July. It may be increased by separating 

 the roots, should be planted in light loamy 

 soil, and is perfectly hardy. 



This plant possesses great beauty, and 

 displays much of its Creator's skill. The 

 contemplation of God in His works is 

 instructive and delightful, but it can never 

 lead us to that which His sacred word alone 

 unfolds; it could not have taught us to 

 call Him our Father and our Friend, nor 

 directed us to seek that felicity which 

 consists in His love, and devotedness to 

 Him. It was reserved to our benign Saviour 

 Himself to reveal these things clearly, and 

 to bring life ami immortality to light. Oh 

 how invaluable then are His sacred oracles ! 

 How ought we to prize the words of Him
