.UAMOCLIT (an aboriginal Mexican name) is a vine of deli¬ 
cate and airy appearance, its leaves being small and feather- 
dike, and the stem slender, growing to about eight or ten 
feet in length. The flowers are small but beautifully bril¬ 
liant, and very abundant. One or two new varieties have 
^appeared, introducing both white and pink, which, combined 
^ with the crimson or scarlet, produce a pretty effect when trained 
|j^upon a trellis or other support. The seeds are somewhat difficult of 
germination, and should be soaked in warm water for a short time 
before planting, otherwise they are apt to decay before sprouting. This 
ll\ vine passes variously under the names Ipomoea (from the Greek, and 
signifying, like the ips, a vine worm), Quamoclit, and Cypress Vine, 
and is nearly related to the morning glories and others passing under 
the general name of Convolvulus. 
OUT golden padlocks on truth’s lips, be callous as ye will, 
A From soul to soul, o’er all the world leaps one electric thrill. 
— Lowell. 
/"\H! there is one affection which no stain 
Of earth can ever darken; when two find, 
The softer and the manlier, that a chain 
Of kindred taste has fastened mind to mind: 
’Tis an attraction from all sense refined; 
The good can only know it; ’tis not blind, 
As love is unto baseness; its desire 
Is but with hands entwin’d to lift our being higher. 
— Percival. 
T N many ways does the full heart reveal 
1 The presence of the love it would conceal. 
— Coleridge. 
EA! but human love to me 
-*■ Is so near divine, 
That my heart clings yearningly 
Even to life like mine. 
V 1 
Love is sweeter far than rest — 
That alone I know — 
And the soul that loves me best 
Will not let me go. 
— Mary B. Dodge.
