Browallia coerulea. Naturar Orper: Scrophulariacee— Figwort Family. 
OM Peru and Brazil comes this delicate little annual, one 
among many recent additions to our gardens. It received 
its name from Linnzus in honor of his intimate friend (who 
was afterward his enemy), Johan Browall, bishop of Abo, 
in Sweden. It is about a foot high, and is, delicate and 
graceful in appearance, being covered continually with innu- 
merable flowers, which are very peculiar in shape, bearing a 
fanciful resemblance to a salver with two deep indentations in the 
sides. The plant is well calculated for pot culture. The varieties are 
white, rose, and a purplish blue. 
Gan You Bear Poverty? 
Y crown is in my heart, not on my head; 
Not deck’d with diamonds and Indian stones, 
Nor to be seen: my crown is call’d content; 
A crown it is that seldom kings enjoy. 
— Shakespeare. 
GRANT me, heav’n, a middle state — NFIT for greatness, I her snares defy, 
Neither too humble nor too great: And look on riches with untainted eyey 
More than enough for nature’s ends, To others let. the glitt’ring baubles fall; 
With something left to treat my friends. Content shall place me far above them all. 
—Maltet. —Churchill, 
2 aa the life that in a peaceful stream, 
Obscure, unnoticed, through the vale has flow’d; 
The heart that ne’er was charm’d by fortune’s gleam 
Is ever sweet contentment’s blest abode. —Percival. 
ERE store of money is not wealth, but rather It may be filled with love and life and vigor, 
The proof of poverty and need of bread. To guide the wearer, and to cheer the way; 
Like men themselves is the bright gold they gather; 
It may be corpse-like in its weight and rigor, 
Tt may be living, or it may be dead. 
Bending the bearer to his native clay. 
Fohn Boyle O'Reilly. 
B® honest poverty thy boasted wealth; 
So shall thy friendships be sincere, tho’ few, 
So shall thy sleep be sound, thy waking cheerful. aflaeterd. (
