THE FOXGLOVE. 
The foxglove-leaves, with caution given. 
Another proof of favoring Heaven 
Will happily display: 
The rabid pulse it can abate, 
The hectic flush can moderate, 
And, blest by Him whose will is fate, 
May give a lengthened day. 
FOXGLOVE. 
Upoh the sunny bank 
The foxglove rears its pyramid of bells, 
Gloriously freckled, purpled and white, the flower 
That cheers JDevonia’s fields. 
FUCHSIA. 
( Taste.) 
^PHE Fuchsia, a native of Chili, was named after 
Leonard Fuchs, a noted German botanist. 
As it is quite a modern addition to our gardens, 
there is little poetry as yet belonging to it.
