./From Peru and Brazil comes this delicate little annual, one 
W* among many recent additions to our gardens. It received 
Y 5 its name from Linnaeus in honor of his intimate friend .(who 
Y was afterward his enemy), Johan Browall, bishop oi Abo, 
|Lj in Sweden. It is about a foot high, and is^ delicate and 
1§0 graceful in appearance, being covered continually with innu- 
z merable flowers, which are very peculiar in shape, bearing a 
fanciful resemblance to a salver with two deep indentations in the 
sides. The plant is well calculated for pot culture. The varieties are 
®white, rose, and a purplish blue. 
imi "You Bear JWarhj? 
A \ ^ ci-own is in my heart, not on my head; 
Not deck’d with diamonds and Indian stones, 
Nor to be seen: my crown is call’d content; 
A crown it is that seldom kings enjoy. 
— Shakespeare. 
/W GRANT me, heav’n, a middle state — 
^ Neither too humble nor too great: 
More than enough for nature’s ends, 
With something left to treat my friends. 
— Mallet. 
T T NFIT for greatness, I her snares defy, 
And look on riches with untainted eye» 
To others let. the glitt’ring baubles fall; 
Content shall place me far above them all. 
— Churchill. 
T T APPY the life that in a peaceful stream, 
* Obscure, unnoticed, through the vale has flow’d; 
The heart that ne’er was charm’d by fortune’s gleam 
Is ever sweet contentment’s blest abode. —Percival. 
]\ |ERE store of money is not wealth, but rather 
1 A The proof of poverty and need of bread. 
Like men themselves is the bright gold they gather; 
It may be living, or it may be dead. 
It may be filled with love and life and vigor, 
To guide the wearer, and to cheer the way; 
It mav be corpse-like in its weight and rigor. 
Bending the bearer to his native clay. 
yah// Bnvle O'Reilly. 
T)E honest poverty thy boasted wealth; 
1 * So shall thy friendships be sincere, tho’ few, 
So shall thy sleep be sound, thy waking cheerful. —Harvard.
