Q?01U|j|)rClUX globosa. Natural Order: Amarantacecc — Amaranth Family. 
HE Globe Amaranth is a tender annual from the flowery 
vales of India. It is valued chiefly for its heads of bright, 
round, purple flowers, which, if gathered when freshly blos¬ 
somed, will retain their brilliancy for years. The white 
variety is cultivated for the same purpose, the two forming 
very pretty bouquets for winter. The seeds are enveloped 
in a cottony substance, which should be removed before planting, 
as it hinders the process of germination. 
T CHANGE but in dying, and no holier vow 
From lips mortal e’er came than I breathe to thee now; 
It comes from a heart with love for thee sighing;

—’John S. Adams.

My weary eye was dim and wet, 
My strength began to fail;

And yet, with truth my heart can say, 
I was not false to thee. 
— Mrs. Norton. 
WOULD not leave thee did I know 
A That all the world’s reproach were true — 
That ’neath some great temptation’s power 
Thy soul had lost its native hue; 
Had dyed itself with darkest guilt; 
Had plunged without remorse in crime: 
Not even then would I forsake — 
Thine, and thine only, for all time. 
—H. C. 
'T'HE mountain rill 
A Seeks with no surer flow, the far, bright sea, 
Than my unchang’d affection flows to thee.

U'H ANGELESS as the greenest leaves 
^ Of the wreath the cypress weaves — 
Hopeless often when most fond — 
Without hope or fear beyond 
Its own pale fidelity. 
—Miss London. 
C' O! and with all of eloquence thou hast, 
^ The burning story of my love discover; 
And if the theme should fail, alas! to move her, 
Tell her when youth’s gay summer-flowers are past, 
Like thee, my love will blossom till the
