And the thoughts of men are widened with the process of the suns. 
— Tennyson. 
'TIME has small pow’r When set; and music from the broken shrine 
O’er features the mind molds. Roses, where Breathes, it is said, around whose altar-stone 
They once have bloom’d, a fragrance leave behind; His flower the votary has ceased to twine:— 
And harmony will linger on the wind; Types of the beauty that, when youth is gone, [cline.

MIND, despatch’d upon the busy toil, [soil; She should imbue the tongue with what she sips,

VERYWHERE throughout our country, but more especially 
, in the Northern and Middle States, the White Walnut, per¬ 
haps more commonly known as the Butternut, is to be found. 
The former is the more proper designation, as it belongs 
| among the true Walnuts. The trunk is usually rather short, 
but large in girth. The branches spread horizontally, giving 
it a large, rounded head, sometimes thirty or forty feet high. The 
foliage has a plumy appearance, each leaf being composed of several 
leaflets arranged in pairs along a stem, with a single one to terminate 
KJa the point. The nut is elongated in shape, and encased in a husk or 
sheath that is inseparable from it, and in that respect differing from 
^ other Walnuts. The kernel is very sweet, pleasant-flavored, and rich 
in oil, which gives it its most familiar synonym. The wood is useful 
in some of the arts. The bark is used in medicine as a cathartic, and by dyers 
to produce a brown dye.
