FOX GLOVE. 
Digitalis Pupurea ,—Class 14, Order 2. 
A tall, graceful plant, with very long stems, which are cov¬ 
ered with purple or white flowers.—Great Britain. 
I AM AMBITIOUS ONLY FOR YOU. 
Not for myself alone,do I desire 
To reach the glorious heights of far-off 
fame;— 
’Tislove of thee—which prompts me to aspire 
And kindles in my heart, ambition’s flame. 
Not for myself alone would I expend 
Long years in study and in painful thought, 
But for the hope that ere my life shall end 
Thou wilt rejoice to share my better lot. 
For nought to me, is fame,—-and I could be 
Content to walk through life, unsought, 
unknown, 
But heaven for brighter things has destined 
thee— 
And for thy sake I seek fame’s laurel 
crown. 
T. Drew.
