ECAUSE of its finely pinnatifid foliage, nearly resembling the 
cypress vine, this plant used to be, and perhaps is still, in 
some localities, called Standing Cypress; but it belongs to 
another class of plants. It is a handsome plant, though not 
blooming until the second year. Seeds should be sown every 
; spring for the next year’s blooming, as should be done with 
Z all biennials, in order to have them every summer. The first year, the 
. Ipomopsis rests like a tuft of finely-cut leaves close to the ground, and 
should be removed and kept in sand free from moisture and hard frost, 
or, if left in the ground, the soil must be well drained, as they are liable 
to decay with much dampness. The second year, the stalk rises and 
branches, covering itself with thread-like foliage, while its tubular flowers 
of scarlet, yellow, or rose, surround its stems for a foot or more.

Suspensy. 
H*® has jumped the brook, he has climbed the knowe, 
There ’s never a faster foot, I know, 
But still he seems to tarry. —Sidney Dobell. 
E not long, for in the tedious minutes, H! how impatience gains upon my soul 
Exquisite interval, I’m on the rack; When the long-promis’d hour of joy draws near; 
For sure the greatest evil man can know, How slow the tardy moments seem to roll, 
Bears no proportion to this dread suspense. What specters rise of inconsistent fear. 
/ —Frowde, —Mrs, Tighe. 
THAT man might know 
The end of this day’s business, ere it come! 
But it sufficeth that the day will end, 
And then the end is known. —Shakespeare, 
O tedious is this day, ND there are hearts that watch and wait 
As is the night before some festival For those who toil upon the shore: 
To an impatient child that hath new robes, Their welcome footstep at the gate 
And may not wear them. —Shahespeare. Is heard—ah! nevermore! —George Cooper.
