have never failed to find it so, Mr A. Croall. 11 Dun 1 s Dish,” 
a little to the west of Balnillo Wood, in the parish of Dun, is

with black glands.

On Will’s Braes plentiful, but the station now destroyed 
by the railway. It occurs, though sparingly, in other places 
along the coast.

Not uncommon on heaths, and in woods, on the coast, as 
well as on the hills, and even ascending to a considerable ele- 
vation on the higher mountains. It is a beautiful little 
flower, and awakens many pleasant thoughts, some of which 
are feebly expressed in the following lines : — 
THE SMALL UPRIGHT ST JOIIN’S-WORT. Hypericum pulchrum . 
When summer-morning’s earliest beams 
Come dancing o’er the dimpled streams, 
And seek the fragrant woodland bowers, 
To dally with the wakening flowers; 
Or through the clustering green leaves creep 
And kiss the ring-dove in its sleep ; 
Or stray through broomy, ferny dell, 
Where many a wild-flower loves to dwell ; 
Or laughing scour the mountain side, 
'Midst blooming heather, Scotland’s pride ! — 
How many charms these beams disclose ! — 
What beauties, scarcely known to those 
Who seldom from their smoky home, 
Can with the morning sunbeams roam. 
Yet oh ! how sweet at morning- tide, 
To climb the heathy mountain’s side, 
And breathe the fresh and healthful air, 
That ever circles freely there ; 
And mark the blooms of varied hue, 
Where sunlight seeks the balmy dew. 
The daisy, on whose honied breast, 
The wild-bee fondly takes its rest ;
