GRIMONY, a plant well known to the Greeks and Romans, 
and by them very highly esteemed for its healing properties, 
was at one time thought superior to all others known to 
science as medicinal. Some authors derive the name from 
the Greek “ argema , the web or pearl of the eye, a disease 
of which it was supposed to cure.” Several plants under 
this name are found throughput the United States, in the fields and 
woods. The flowers are small and yellow, in long, slender racemes. 
The plants vary in height from one to three feet, some of them being 
aromatic.

O OUL, where thoughts like to white-winged angels, 
^ Brood in the hush of this dim, dark eve, 
Whisper to me thy sweet evangels, 
Whisper and sigh, but do not grieve;

Raise me a song that shall thrill afar; 
Kindle thy fires, blow bright thine embers, 
Gleam on her soul like the gleam of a star.
