CHAMOMILE. 
Jlnthemis JSTobilis ,—Class 19, Order 2. 
A garden herb of fragrant bitter odor, flowers very pretty, 
and possessing valuable medicinal qualities. 
ENERGY IN ADVERSITY. 
Tell me not, in mournful numbers, 
Life is but an empty dream, 
For the soul is dead that slumbers, 
And things are not what they seem. 
Life is real—life is earnest— 
And the grave is not its goal! 
Dust thou art—to dust returnest— 
Was not spoken to the soul, 
Let us then be up and doing, 
With a heart for every fate ; 
Still achieving—still pursuing— 
Learn to labor and to wait. 
Longfellow.
