ft. UTETIA of the Parisians is the name by which the city of 
Paris was known to Julius Caesar, and Lutetiana is therefore 
j‘ equivalent to Parisian. Circe was, according to heathen my¬ 
thology, the wife of the king of the Sarmatians, whom she 
poisoned, and for which she was banished by her subjects. 
■ r ' * She fled to Italy, and fell in love with Glaucus, a sea-god, 
who was in love with Scylla. Circe poisoned the water in which 
Scylla bathed, and thus turned her into a sea-monster. The two words 
constitute the botanical name of this plant, which is found in our own 
3 country from Carolina to Illinois. It grows in damp, shady places. 
Its flowers are rose color, and small; its fruit is inversely heart-shaped, 
having conspicuous hooks.

T F you can look into the seeds of time, 
1 And say which grain will grow and which will not, 
Speak then to me, who neither beg nor fear 
Your favors, nor your hates. —Shakespeare. 
, 'T'IS thine to sing, how, framing hideous spells 
A In Sky’s lone isle, the gifted wizard seer, 
Lodg’d in the wintry cave with fate’s fell spear, 
Or in the depths of Uist’s dark forest dwells; 
How they, whose sight such dreary dreams engross, 
With their own vision oft astonish’d droop; 
When, o’er the watery strath or quaggy moss, 
They see the gliding ghosts unbodied troop. 
Or, if in sports, or on the festive green, 
Their destin’d glance some fated youth descry, 
Who now, perhaps, in lusty vigor seen, 
And rosy health, shall soon lamented die — 
For them the viewless forms of air obey; 
Their bidding heed, and at their beck repair, 
They know what spirit brews the stormful day, 
And heartless, oft like moody madness, stare 
To see the phantom train their secret works 
repair. —Collins. 
PTTY me! I am she whom man 
A Hath hated since ever the world began; 
I soothe his brain in the night of pain, 
But at morning he waketh—and all is vain. 
— Barry Cornwall.
