Box-plant. — ‘ Constant unto death. 
1 Previous to the departure of Baron de Stael from Sweden, he 
was enamored of his second cousin, a beautiful young girl, whom he 
had promised to marry; but after the offers received by him from 
the Necker family, he wrote to inform her of the peculiar circum¬ 
stances in which he was placed, and that his union with a lady whom 
he did not love, would be the means of raising his family from 
poverty and obscurity. His cousin, without any other answer, re¬ 
turned his marriage promise, stained with her tears , and in seven 
weeks she was a corpse. 
THE SWEDISH GIRL. 
‘ Even to pause on such a thought! 
How could it cross his mind! 
Power thus trafficked for, and bought, 
With happiness resigned! 
And love like mine cast coldly by 
At vain Ambition’s call!
