Calceolavia, 
Calceolaria hpbrita. =Narurar Oxver: Scrophulariacee—Figwort Family. 
New Zealand. There are two species of this plant, differing 
-entirely from each other, in regard to the foliage. One is 
“herbaceous, with large, oval, downy leaves, and grows about 
: Pe foot and a half high; the other is a shrub with small, oval 
leaves resembling those of the sage, except that they are a 
purer green. The flowers are alike in shape, the herbaceous having 
rather the largest. They are like a pouch or bag of velvet, sometimes 
of a plain color, and again covered with dots; indeed they often remind 
one of the plump body of a beautiful spider, only they have not spina- 
rets and legs. The blossoms, which are superb in color, are often large 
enough to hold a teaspoonful of water. 
Tauetty, 
F all the passions that possess mankind, 
The love of novelty rules most the mind; 
In search of this, from realm to realm we roam; 
Our fleets come fraught with ev'ry folly home.

cae sighs the world for something new, HANGE is written on the tide, 
For something new; On the forest’s leaty pride; 
Imploring me, imploring you On the streamlet, glancing bright, 
Some will-o’-wisp to help pursue. On the jewel’d crown of night; 
Ah, hapless world! What will it do, All where’er the eye can rest 
Imploring me, imploring you, Show it legibly imprest. 
For something new? —za/ph Hoyt. —Clinch, 
| HAVE lived in cities all my birth, 
Where all was noise, and life, and varving scene; 
‘Recurrent news which set all men agape, 
New faces, and new friends, and shows and revels, 
Mingling in constant action and quick change.
