FLOltAL EMBLEMS. 
BOLDNESS. 
Pine. 
“ Yon verdant pines, that midst the winter smile, 
Offspring of Scotia or Virginia’s soil.” 
Delille. 
These hardy offsprings of bleak and snowy 
mountains are made symbolical of boldness 
from the resistance they make to the rigour 
of the storms. 
True boldness (according to Locke) is the 
power to speak or do what we intend, before 
others, without fear or disorder.
