RECONCILIATION. 
ORIGIN OF THE SENTIMENT. 
The Christian will find no difficulty in per¬ 
ceiving that this flower is an appropriate em¬ 
blem of reconciliation, as the name of it at 
once directs the mind to the great source of 
reconciliation between God and man; as, 
however, it is likely to be used by our readers 
as an emblem of earthly reconciliation, we 
have chosen our illustration accordingly.
