Zea Mays ,—Class 21, Order 3. 
Better known as Indian corn, a native of tropical America- 
RICHES. 
Think ye to fetter love with gold ? 
Ah no, no ! 
With brow of care, and features old ? 
With pulseless veins, and bosom cold? 
Ah no, no ! 
Enchain the star, 
That gleams afar, 
Withhold the breezes from the tree; 
Forbid the heart, 
To act its part. 
Then hope with gold to fetter me. 
Mrs. Stephens.
