®omphrena globosa. NATURAL ORDER: Amarantacee— Amaranth Family. 
Amaranth--Globe. 
aed 75 HE Globe Amaranth is a tender annual from the flowery 
vales of India. It is valued chiefly for its heads of bright, 
round, purple flowers, which, if gathered when freshly blos- 
somed, will retain their brilliancy for years. The white 
variety is cultivated for the same purpose, the two forming 
very pretty bouquets for winter. The seeds are enveloped 
in a cottony substance, which should be removed before planting, 
as it hinders the process of germination.

CHANGE but in dying, and no holier vow 
From lips mortal e’er came than I breathe to thee now; 
It comes from a heart with love for thee sighing; 
Believe me, ’tis true—I change but in dying. 
—Fohn S. Adams. 
WAS not false to thee, and yet WOULD not leave thee did I know 
My cheek alone look’d pale! That all the world’s reproach were true— 
My weary eye was dim and wet, That ’neath some great temptation’s power 
My strength began to fail; Thy soul had lost its native hue; 
Thou wert the same; thy looks were gay, ‘Had dyed itself with darkest guilt; 
Thy step was light and free: Had plunged without remorse in crime: 
And yet, with truth my heart can say, Not even then would I forsake — 
I was not false to thee. Thine, and thine only, for all time.

HE mountain rill 
Seeks with no surer flow, the far, bright sea, 
Than my unchang'd affection flows to thee. 
—Park Benjamin. 
HANGELESS as the greenest leaves O! and with all of eloquence thou hast, 
Of the wreath the cypress weaves — The burning story of my love discover; 
Hopeless often when most fond— And if the theme should fail, alas! to move her, 
Without hope or fear beyond Tell her when youth’s gay summer-flowers are past, 
Its own pale fidelity. Like thee, my love will blossom till the last! 
—Miss Landon. —Charles F. Hoffman,
