SNARE. 
CATCHFLY. 
Tne catchfly is a simple emblem of the gross 
snares which vice spreads for unwary and im- 
prudent youth. Flies attracted by the evil 
odour of this plant become entangled in its 
leaves, and are not able to disengage them- 
selves. 
SOLITUDE. 
HEATH. 
Tue foliage of this plant is ever-green, of 
varied and beautiful shapes, and on examina- 
tion is found as pleasing as its singular blossom. 
In our floral hieroglyphics it is made emblem- 
atical of solitude; and thus, when the rustic 
lover offers his mistress a bouquet of heath and 
pansies, she understands that if his solitude 
were charmed by her society his heart would 
be at ease. 
Oh! to lie down in wilds apart, 
Where man is seldom seen or heard, 
In still and ancient forests, where 
Mows not his scythe, ploughs not his share, 
With the shy deer and cooing bird !
