Citrus aurantium. Narurar Orver: Auranticee—Orange Family. 
& HIS tree is of the same family as the citron, the lime, and 
the lemon. It is an evergreen of middle size, and when 
covered with its bright, golden fruit, is one of the most 
attractive sights in nature. The pulp of the Orange is 
4 divided into sections of as great regularity as is that of the 
¢ lemon, the outer covering of each being dry and of con- 
siderable strength, while within are little sacs of irregular length 
* filled with a cooling, delightful and refreshing juice, that renders it 
Rs ([" popular with all. The flowers are of a creamy white. It is a 
( native of tropical climates, yet can be grown in a good greenhouse 
WG with ease, requiring little attention. In the West Indies, where it is 
SSnative, as well as in Florida, Louisiana and California, it is cultivated

ENEATH the cares of earth she does not bow, 
Though she hath ofttimes drained its bitter cup! 
But ever wanders on with heavenward brow, 
And eyes whose lovely orbs‘are lifted up! 
—Amelia B. Welby. 
O dear to heaven is saintly chastity, WEET beauty sleeps upon thy brow, 
That when a soul is found sincerely so, And floats before my eyes; 
A thousand liveried angels lackey her, As meek and pure as doves art thou, 
Driving far off each thing of sin and guilt. Or being of the skies. 
—Milton. —Robert Morris. 
HASTE as the icicle 
That ’s curded by the frost from purest snow, 
And hangs on Dian’s temple. 
— Shakespeare. 
: HE summer’s flower is to the summer sweet, The basest weed outbraves his dignity ; 
Though to itself it only live and die; For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds; 
But if that flower with base infection meet, Lihes that fester, smell far worse than weeds. 
— Shakespeare.
