Dflrbenct CTiublctici. Natural Order: Vcrbcnacccc—Vervain Family . 
ROUGHT into general circulation but a few years since, this 
beautiful flower is unsurpassed for splendor of color. It is a 
native of the South, and is a delicate, trailing plant, bloom¬ 
ing freely. A few plants will cover a large bed if their 
branches are pinned down so that they can root at the joints, 
which they do readily. Among the Romans, the Verbenas, 
whence the name of this plant, were sacred boughs, whether 
of the laurel, olive or myrtle. This particular variety has been desig¬ 
nated Aubletia in honor of the French botanist, John Baptist Christo- 
A, pher Fusee Aublet, who flourished in the middle of the last century, 
& dying in 1778. _ _

Her soul from far adown her eyes, 
Prepared as if for sacrifice. 
TrET what is wit, and what the poet’s art? 
Can genius shield the vulnerable heart? 
Ah! no. Where bright imagination reigns, 
The fine-wrought spirit feels acuter pains; 
Where glow exalted sense and taste refin’d, 
— Mrs. Browning. 
There keener anguish rankles in the mind; 
There feeling is diffus’d through every part, 
Thrills in each nerve, and lives in all the heart; 
And those whose gen’rous souls each tear would keep 
From others’ eyes, are born themselves to weep. 
— Hannah More.

^ A smile so quick, so warm, so bright, 
It speaks a nature full of light. 
—Kate J. Hill. 
TY EARLY bought, the hidden treasure 
Finer feelings can bestow! 
Chords that vibrate sweetest pleasure, 
Thrill the deepest notes of woe. —Bums. 
QHE gazed, and in the tender flush 
^ That made her face like roses blown, 
And in the radiance and the hush, 
Her thought was shown. 
— Jean Ingelovj.
