HERE are two species of this humble plant ; the first 
inodorous, naturalized in fields, byways and lanes, and is 
called Corn Chamomile; and the second a perennial from 
Great Britain and other parts of Europe. It is frequently 
cultivated in gardens, and is well known for its strong, agree¬ 
able odor. The flowers are much used in medicine for their 
tonic and anodyne properties. It was called Anthemis, from anthos , 
, Greek for flower, by reason of its profusion of flowers.

5 OP IS mercy! mercy! 
A The mark of heav’n impress’d on human kind, 
Mercy that glads the world, deals joy around:

And makes' dominion light; mercy that saves, 
Binds up the broken heart, and heals despair.

When, oh! so tired of all its hopes and fears — 
When, ’midst the fury of the storms and tempests, 
Thou shalt be waiting as the heaven nears.

Fetters which thrall.
