Arnica mollis. Natural Order: Composite ?— Aster Family. 
ROWING in the ravines of the White, Essex and other 
mountains in the east, and on the Rocky mountains in the 
west, the Arnica, an Alpine plant, is found. The flowers 
are yellow, and are borne on stalks from one to two feet 
high. When dried they form an article of commerce, being 
used to reduce inflammation in wounds and bruises. A tinc- 
ture is usually prepared with alcohol, or spirits of some kind; or for 
temporary use a lotion is made by steeping them in water. 
'll T HAT, man! ne’er pull your hat upon your brows! 
** Give sorrow wnrds: the grief that does not speak, 
Whispers the o’er-fraught heart, and bids it break. 
T F thou wilt ease thine heart 
-*■ Of love, and all its smart — 
Then sleep! dear, sleep! 
And not a sorrow 
Hang any tear on your eyelashes; 
Lie still and deep, 
Sad soul, until the sea-wave washes 
The rim o’ the sun tomorrow, 
In eastern sky. 
— Shakespeare. 
But wilt thou cure thine heart 
Of love, and all its smart — 
Then die! dear, die! 
’ Tis deeper, sweeter, 
Than on a rose bank to lie dreaming 
With folded eye; 
And then alone, amid the beaming 
Of love’s stars, thou’lt meet her 
In eastern sky. 
— Thomas Lovell Beddoes. 
H 
ALF the ills we hoard within our hearts 
Are ills because we hoard them. —Proctor. 
T N sympathy, then, I give thee a hand, 
1 And greet thee as thus we go, 
And pledge a renewal in that bright land 
Where pleasures perennial groAv. 
—‘Jane E. Locke. 
T'HO’ dark the night, ’tis not forever; 
A day-beam comes, in mercy given — 
Before its ray the storm-clouds sever, 
The wandering soul hath rest in heaven. 
—James S. Aylward.
