Text Appearing After Image:
HE Pajony is supposed to have derived its name from Pa^on, a disciple of ^sculapius, who used it for the healing of Pluto, thereby arousing the jealous feelings of his pre- ceptor, so much so indeed that he compassed his death. Both the root and leaves are used in medicine as an anti- spasmodic and tonic. The flowers are very large and y in all the species. The common variety is a native of Switzer- land; the white, of Tartary; the Siberian, as its name indicates, of Siberia. The Chinese Pzeony is a shrub from three to four feet high, with ample foliage, and verj' large, brilliant, fragrant flowers. They are mostly hardy, except in extreme northern latitudes, and oduce various colored blossoms. %\^VX\. HAME sticks ever close to the ribs of honoi-, Great men are never found after it. —MiddMon.

'T'HE mind that broods o'er guilty w Is like a scorpion girt by fire; In circle narrowing as it glows. The flames around their captive close. *OME seek to salve their blotted name ' W'ith others' blot, till all do taste of shame. —Sir P. Sidney. ^ ^i
