MUTILL^ OP NEW HOLLAND. 
The plant represented in pi. 53 is the Australian Diuris aurea of 
Smith, and that in plate 54 is D. raaculata, from the same country. 
“ This is human happiness! 
Its secret and its evidence are writ 
In the broad book of Nature. ’Tis to have 
Attentive and believing faculties; 
To go abroad rejoicing in the joy 
Of beautiful and well-created things; 
To love the voice of waters, and the sheen 
Of silver fountains leaping to the sea; 
To thrill with the rich melody of birds, 
Living their life of music; to be glad 
In the gay sunshine, reverent in the storm; 
To see a beauty in the stirring leaf. 
And find calm thoughts beneath the whispering tree; 
To see, and hear, and breathe the evidence 
Of God's deep wisdom in the natural world! 
T t is to linger on ‘ the magic face 
Of human beauty,' and from light and shade 
Alike to draw a lesson ; ’tis to love 
The cadences of voices that are tuned 
By majesty and purity of thought; 
To gaze on woman’s beauty, as a star 
Whose purity and distance make it fair; 
And in the gush of music to be still. 
And feel that it has purified the heart! 
It is to love all virtue for itself,— 
All nature for its breathing evidence; 
And when the eye hath seen, and when the ear 
Hath drank the beautiful harmony of the world, 
It is to humble the imperfect mind. 
And lean the broken spirit upon God! ”
