AYBERRY, a useful shrub, varying in height from two to 
eight feet, and flowering in April or May, is found in dry 
forests from Nova Scotia to Florida. It has a grayish bark 
and branching top, and its fruit consists of a globular stone, 
covered with white wax, which is separated by heat, usually 
boiling water. This product constitutes the Bayberry tallow 
of commerce, sometimes called myrtle wax. A bushel of berries 
yields about four pounds of wax. The botanical name comes from the 
I: ig Greek muro, to flow, because the stamens contract on the slightest touch, 
and are thence conceived to be easily irritated, even to tears. 
& Respect thy Gears. 
E temperate in grief! I would not hide 
The starting tear-drop with a stoic’s pride, 
I would not bid the o’erburthen’d heart be still, 
And outrage nature with contempt of ill. 
Weep! but not loudly! He whose stony eyes 
Ne’er melt in tears, is hated in the skies. 
— Euphorion. 
HE rose is fairest when ’tis budding new, WO other precious drops that ready stood, 
And hope is brightest when it dawns from fears; Each in their crystal sluice, he, ere they fell, 
The rose is sweetest wash’d with morning dew,  Kiss’d, as the gracious signs of sweet remorse 
And love is loveliest when embalmed in tears. And pious awe, that fear’d to have offended. 
— Scott. — Milton. 
ET me wipe off this honorable dew Cs chase that starting tear away, 
That silverly doth progress on my cheeks, Ere mine to meet it springs. — afore. 
— Shakespeare. 
ITH a shriek heart-wounding loud she cried, Fine not thy tears! weep boldly, and be proud 
While down her cheeks the gushing torrents ran, To give the flowing virtue manly way: 
f Fast falling on her hands. —Rowe, Tis nature’s mark, to know an honest heart. ii
