White Walnut, 
Juglans cimerea,. Narurar Orver: Fuglandacee —Walnut Family. 
in the Northern and Middle States, the White Walnut, per- 
haps more commonly known as the Butternut, is to be found. 
The former is the more proper designation, as it belongs 
among the true Walnuts. The trunk is usually rather short, 
but large in girth. The branches spread horizontally, giving 
it a large, rounded head, sometimes thirty or forty feet high. The 
foliage has a plumy appearance, each leaf being composed of several 
leaflets arranged in pairs along a stem, with a single one to terminate 
the point. The nut is elongated in shape, and encased in a husk or 
sheath that is inseparable from it, and in that respect differing from 
other Walnuts. The kernel is very sweet, pleasant-flavored, and rich 
in oil, which gives it its most familiar synonym. The wood is useful 
in some of the arts. The bark is used in medicine as a cathartic, and by dyers 
to produce a brown dye.

They once have bloom'd, a fragrance leave behind; His flower the votary has ceased to twine:— 
And harmony will linger on the wind; Types of the beauty that, when youth is gone, [cline. 
And suns continue to light up the air, Breathes from the soul whose brightness mocks de-

Her voice, her beaming eye, must show 
An all-inspiring soul. —Levi Frisbie. 
Mis? despatch’d upon the busy toil, [soil; She should imbue the tongue with what she sips, 
Should range where Providence has blessed the And shed the balmy blessings on the lips, , 
Visiting every flow’r with labor meet, That good diffused may more abundant grow, 
And gathering all her treasures sweet by sweet, And speech may praise the pow’r that bids it flow.
