IflXSCLllT tuti'olil. Natural Order: Rcsedacece — Mignonette Family. 
PNOWN familiarly as the Dyer’s Weed, but botanically by the 
Ir Latin words reseda , from its medicinal value in assuaging pain, 
and luteola , yellow, from the dye which it furnishes, sometimes 
called Dutch pink, this plant is of the same species as our 
well-known garden favorite, the mignonette. Both are mostly 
native on the coast of the Mediterranean; this one, however, 
has become partially naturalized in the United States. It is said 
that its flowers follow the course of the sun, inclining east, south and 
west by day, and north by night.

HEN men’s intents are wicked, their guilt haunts them, 
But when they are just, they’re armed, and nothing daunts them. 
—Middleton. 
PURPOSE is but the slave to memory, 
* Of violent birth, but poor validity; 
Which now like fruits unripe, stick on the tree, 
But fall unshaken when they mellow be. 
— Shakespeare.

CTIONS rare and sudden do commonlv 
Proceed from fierce necessity: or else 
From some oblique design, which is asham’d 
To show itself in the public road. 
—Sir Wm. Davenant. 
'W'OU have sent so many posts 
A Of undertakings, they outride performance; 
And make me think your fair pretences aim 
At some intended ill, which my prevention 
Must strive to avert. — 
TTONEST designs justly resemble our devotions, TT7HEN any great design thou dost intend, 
A 1 Which we must pay, and wait for the reward. ’ * Think on the means, the manner and the end. 
— Sir Robert Howard. — Denham. 
TARING, therefore, all the forces that you may, 
^ And lay incessant battery to her heart; 
Plaints, prayers, vows, ruth, and sorrow, and dismay, 
Tljese engines can the proudest love convert. —Spenser.
