Salix vuminalis, Natrurar Orver: Salicacee—Willow Family. 
cs EON “ARIETIES of the Willow are very numerous, all of them 
Gk? , delighting in soil in which there is an abundance of moist- 
ure, and are consequently oftener found along the margins 
WA “i of streams, or in low-lying, wet meadows, than in any other 
A> locality. This species does not develope into a tree, the stems 
** rising singly to the height of ten or twelve feet; they are very 
&*pliable, and well adapted to the industry to which they are applied. 
Ni 3 Viminalis signifies twigs or branches adapted to plaiting. One of the 
[- J seven Roman hills on which Jupiter was worshiped was called Vimi- 
| F nalis Collis, from the Willow-copse which once stood there. 
Frankuness, 
HE brave do never shun the light; 
Just are their thoughts, and open are their tempers; 
Truly without disguise they love or hate; 
Still are they found in the fair face of day, 
And heav’n and men are judges of their actions. 
—Rowe. 
HY words had such a melting flow, HATE’ER the emotions of her heart, 
And spoke of truth so sweetly well, Still shone conspicuous in her eyes — 
They dropp’d like heav’n’s serenest snow, Stranger to every female art, 
And all was brightness where they fell! Alike to feign or to disguise. 
—Moore. — Shaw, 
H® *LL suit his bearing to the hour, 
Laugh, listen, learn or teach, 
With joyous freedom in his mirth, 
And candor in his speech. 
—Eliza Cook. 
STALWART form, a manly port, A knee a child would love to climb; 
Asfearless brow, an eye of truth, A face a woman needs must trust, 
A step’ as free as that of youth, Quite free from guile and clean from lust, 
A presence fit for camp or court; Nor marred, though nobly marked by time. }
