FLORAL EMBLEMS. 
A lady being asked one day what induced 
her to be so passionately fond of a flower that 
presented so little lustre to the eye, replied, 
“ Que la parfum de Fheliotrope est a mon 
parterrece que lame est a labeaute, la volupte 
a l’amour, et l’amour a la jeunesse.” 
“ As with new wine intoxicated both. 
They swim in mirth, and fancy that they feel 
Divinity within them breeding wings. 
Wherewith to scorn the earth.” 
Milton.
