ERE is a bulbous plant that is a great favorite for garden cul¬ 
ture. The bulbs are placed in the ground in May or June. 
and grow without further care. The soil should cover them 
lightly, from an inch and a half to two inches deep. The 
leaves are sword-shaped, and about a foot long, with length¬ 
wise veins. The flowers are often more than five inches 
across, though generally about four. They are superbly brilliant in 
_ /dFs their colors, and, though lasting but a few hours, new ones appear 
daily for a considerable length of time. The stalk on which they are 
borne is about a foot and a half high. The Tigridia pavonia (peacock- 
like) is a rich scarlet, spotted with vellow. There are one or two other 
varieties with flowers equally desirable, being very rich in their mark¬ 
ings. The bulbs should be lifted in the fall, and be kept dry and free 
from frost, to be planted again in the spring.

LL offer, and I’ll suffer, no abuse. 
Because I’m proud; pride is of mighty use. 
The affectation of a pompous name. 
Has oft set wits and heroes in a flame; 
Volumes, and buildings, and dominions wide. 
Are of the noble monuments of pride. 
OP1TE of all the fools that pride has made. 
’Tis not on man a useless burthen laid; 
VS. 
Pride has ennobled some, and some disgraced; 
It hurts not in itself, but as ’tis placed: 
When right, its views know none but virtue’s bound: 
When wrong, it scarcely looks one inch around.

T WILL from henceforth rather be myself,

Which hath been smooth as oil, soft as young down, 
And therefore lost that title of respect 
Which the proud soul ne’er pavs but to the proud.
