(Eljelutonium majus. Na tural Order: Papaveracece — Poppy Family. 
UITE familiar, from growing wild by the roadsides and in 
the fields, especially in moist places, as well as from being 
cultivated in gardens, is this plant of the poppy family. 
It is a fleshy herb, with leaves formed of leaflets arranged 
in pairs on a central stem, and one odd one to finish the 
WifF'v'' tip; they are of a sea or bluish green in color, and are 
quite smooth. The flowers are yellow, and are not lasting. Its 
name is derived from the word chelidon , the Greek name for the 
\F swallow, as it was supposed to blossom with the arrival of that bird. 
Mu It has become a naturalized plant in the United States, its native 
P place being Europe.

'T'HERE is a gentle element, and man 
A May breathe it with a calm, unruffled soul, 
And drink its living waters till his heart 
Is pure; and this is human happiness. —Willis. 
TF solid happiness we prize, 
A Within our breast the jewel lies, 
T T APPINESS depends, as nature shows, 
Less on exterior things than most suppose; 
And they are fools who roam; 
The world has nothing to bestow, 
From own selves our joys must flow, 
And that dear hut — our home. —Cotton. 
Vigilant over all that He has made, 
Kind Providence attends with gracious aid, 
Bids equity throughout His works prevail, 
And weighs the nations in an even scale. 
— Cowper. 
T T E is the happy man whose life e’en now 
Shows somewhat of that'happier life to come; 
Who, doomed to an obscure but tranquil state. 
Is pleased with it, and, were he free to choose, 
Would make his fate his choice; whom peace, the fruit 
Of virtue, and whom virtue, fruit of faith, 
Prepare for happiness; bespeak him one 
Content indeed to sojourn while he must 
Below the skies, but having there his home. 
— Covjper.
