His aspirations without wings would fly. 
Hot only Thy benignity gives succor 
To him w T ho asketh it, but oftentimes 
Forerunneth of its own accord the asking. 
In Thee compassion is, in Thee is pity. 
In Thee magnificence; in Thee unites 
Whatever of goodness is in any creature.”* 
Wall-ptoWer. 
“This flower speaks of loveliness, 
That passes not with youth, 
Of beauty which decay can bless, 
Of constancy and truth. 
But in adversity’s dark hour, 
When glory is gone by, 
It then exerts its gentle power, 
The scene to beautify.” 
— Anon. 
The Wall-Flower is a, cruciferous, evergreen plant of the genus 
Cheircinthus, which grows in old walls, etc. It exhales a deliciously deli¬ 
cate odor, a most grateful perfume, that generously fills an ordinary 
apartment. 
Patience in Suffering. 
0 be impatient is to desire what we have not, and not to desire what 
w 7 e have. 
An impatient soul is a prey to passions unrestrained, either by 
reason or faith.
