RECONCILIATION. 
Filbert.— Corylus. 
Thou hast a brain, such as it is indeed ! 
On what else should thy worm of fancy feed ? 
Yet in a filbert I have often known 
Maggots survive when all the kernel’s gone.” 
Dorset. 
Clusters ot these agreeable nuts are emble¬ 
matical of reconciliation, and all will allow 
that the cracking of filberts at reconcilia¬ 
tion is more agreeable than the breaking of 
heads at dissensions. 
---■ “ No cloud 
Of anger shall remain ; but peace assur’d 
And reconcilement.” 
Paradise Lost.
