beautiful flower is unsurpassed for splendor of color. It is a 
native of the South, and is a delicate, trailing plant, bloom- 
ing freely. A few plants will cover a large bed if their 
branches are pinned down so that they can root at the joints, 
which they do readily. Among the Romans, the Verbene, 
whence the name of this plant, were sacred boughs, whether 
of the laurel, olive or myrtle. This particular variety has been desig- 
nated Aubletia in honor of the French botanist, John Baptist Christo- 
pher Fusee Aublet, who flourished in the middle of the last century, 
dying in 1778. 
Sensiblity, 
HE smiled; but he could see arise 
Her soul from far adown her eyes, 
Prepared as if for sacrifice. 
—Mrs. Browning. 
ET what is wit, and what the poet’s art? There keener anguish rankles in the mind; 
Can genius shield the vulnerable heart? There feeling is diffus’d through every part, 
Ah! no. Where bright imagination reigns, Thrills in each nerve, and lives in all the heart; 
The fine-wrought spirit feels acuter pains; And those whose gen’rous souls each tear would keep 
Where glow exalted sense and taste refin’d, From others’ eyes, are born themselves to weep. 
—Hfannah More, 
KINDLY speech; a. cordial voice; 
A smile so quick, so warm, so bright, 
It speaks a nature full of light.

EARLY bought, the hidden treasure HE gazed, and in the tender flush 
Finer feelings can bestow! That made her face like roses blown, 
Chords that vibrate sweetest pleasure, And in the radiance and the hush, 
Thrill the deepest notes of woe. —Zurns. Her thought was shown. 
—Fean Ingelow. 
NEW creation-bloom that rounds 
The old creation, and expounds 
His Beautiful in tuneful sounds. —syys, Browning. !
