Bavtonia-Golden. 
Mientzelia Lindlevi. Naturar Orver: Loasacee—Loasa Family. 
California, with an oval, lance-shaped leaf, indented similar 
to the thistle; the stems are procumbent and often a yard 
in length. The flowers, which much resemble a poppy, are 
of a most brilliant yellow, deepening toward the center into 
the true orange shade, and measuring from two to three 
inches in diameter. Within the center the numerous thread-like stamens 
spread themselves out over the petals, like a delicate fringe. The seeds 
should be sown where the plants are to grow, as they are transplanted 
with difficulty. 
Does He Possess Riches? 
AD I but pearls of price—did golden pills 
Of hoarded wealth swell in my treasury, 
Easy I’d win the fawning flatterer’s smile 
And bend the sturdiest stoic’s iron knee. 
—A, A. Locke. 
HINK’ST thou the man whose mansions hold KNEW I the spell of gold, 
The worldling’s pride, the miser's gold, I would never poison a fresh young heart 
Obtains a richer prize With the taint of customs old; 
Than he who in his cot, at rest, I would bind no wreath to my forehead free, 
Finds heavenly peace a willing guest, In whose shadows a thought might die, 
And bears the earnest in his breast Nor drink, from the cup of revelry, 
Of treasure in the skies? —yyys, Sigourney. The ruin my gold would buy. — Willis, 
MIGHTY pain to love it is, 
And '’tis a pain that pain to miss; 
ADAM, I own ’tis not your person 
My stomach’s set so sharp and fierce on; 
But, of all pains, the greatest pain But ’tis your better part, your riches, 
It is to love but love in vain. That my enamor’d. heart bewitches! 
Virtue now, nor noble blood, ~ Butler. 
Nor wit 
ar oil; by love 38 sunMerstaads MASK of gold hides all deformities; 
Gold is heaven's physic, life’s restorative. 
—Decker, 
Gold alone does passion move; 
Gold monopolizes love —Cowley.
