PASSING on now to the radiate sub-tribe of the natural order Composita, let us first direct our attention to the cosmopolite but modest daisy (Bellis perennis), which spreads on the verdure its yellow disc surrounded with white rays tipped with pink, springing up at the earliest dawn of spring, and gladdening our sight until the winter blasts return. The pretty daisy (Fig. 176) is associated with our earliest recollections of fields and flowers; it has inspired the pastoral bards of many lands, and formed the subject of many beautiful verses. Every one knows how ornamental are daisies to the green turf of meadows; but only the intelligent farmer knows how dear is the price paid for the ornament. The daisy, unostentatious as it is above ground, encroaches sadly, with its rhizomes and spreading roots, on the grass tribe, which is the special object of culture; hence the grazier should extirpate our little daisy friends by all means in his power; to him they are rather foes than friends. The chrysanthemums are all beautiful species, many of which are cultivated in England. The Indian chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum Indicum), as it is called, is a native of China, where it is a great favourite. It flowers very late in the year, thus furnishing us with a floral Christmas ornament. Its compound flowers grow to the size of three or four inches in diameter. The asters are sturdy perennials, which, by their large and highly-tinted compound flowers, contribute much to the embellishment of a flower-garden. Most of the exotic asters have been introduced from America; nevertheless, that of greatest beauty, the China aster (Callistephus Sinensis), originally came from China. The extensive genus, Gnaphalium, which is divided into many secondary genera, comprehends many ornamental plants, known under the general designation of Everlastings. greater number of these species are indigenous to Afr America. But of all the radiate sub-genera of esteemed for the beauty of their flowers, the I the most cherished, the most beautiful, is the d The description of which we shall terminate this notice of the family embryo straight; cotyledons oblong, exceeding in length the Composite. The genus dahlia is characterised by having an involucrum, of which the exterior bracts, about five in number, are reflexed, and the internal ones, from twelve to twenty in number, arranged in double series, are membranous at their summit, thick and fleshy at their base. The achania, or fruit, are surmounted by two short points. The stem is herbaceous; leaves opposed and pinnatifid. The species most cultivated in our gardens, which it embellishes during the autumn, is the Dahlia coccinea, or ordinary scarlet dahlia. It is a native of Mexico, whence it was transported to Spain about 1790, and a specimen was sent from Madrid to France in the year 1802. At first the French gardeners cultivated it as a greenhouse plant, but they soon discovered the dahlia to be capable of flourishing in the open air. From this time the plant was rapidly disseminated, and many varieties began to appear. The flowers of the primitive species were all simple, the disc yellow, the rays arranged in two series, dark scarlet and velvety in appearance. In 1810 varieties sprang up, having lilac, rose-coloured, and saffron-yellow rays. 1818 double-flowered varieties were obtained, possessing cornetshaped tubular florets, constituting an imbricated rose. Since then so many varieties have sprung up, that their mere enumeration would be impossible. SECTION XL-VALERIANACEE, OR VALERIAN WORTS. In Characteristics: Calyx adherent to the ovary; corolla monopetalous, epigynous; stamens ordinarily less numerous than the lobes of the corolla, and non-adherent. Ovary three-celled, two of which cells are barren, the third containing one seed; ovule pendant; seed, dicotyledonous; radicle superior. The Valerianacea, which derive their name from the valerian, one of the principal genera, are either herbs, with slender roots, or perennials, having an almost woody rhizome, generally containing odorous matter. The radical leaves are tuft-like, petiolate, simple, opposed, and without stipules. 177. 176. radicle. The Valerianacea are, for the most part, inhabitants of the ancient continent, being chiefly restricted to Central Europe and the Mediterranean region, and the Asiatic district of the Taurus and Caucasus, from which a few species have wandered to Nepaul, and Siberia, and Japan. In the tropics they are unknown, except in certain mountainous regions. In Chili and Magellan several species are not unfrequent; but North America only possesses one. The Valerianacea are a natural order, concerning the medicinal qualities of which all persons are agreed. The active principles are a volatile oil, and an acid termed the valerianic acid, which chemists now make artificially. The perennials are more effi cacious than the annuals, probably because in the latter the 178. ROOT OF THE DAISY. 177. active principles have not had sufficient time to develop themselves. The smell of the valerian is very peculiar; some people think it agreeable; a far greater number, however, are of a contrary opinion. Amongst cats there is no such difference of sentiment. These animals are very partial to the odour of the valerian, and eagerly scratch up such plants of it as they meet with in their rural explorations. Valerian is now employed by physicians in the cure of spasms; formerly its employment was directed to the cure of the far graver disease, epilepsy. Report states that a Neapolitan noble, who lived in the sixteenth century, being a great sufferer from epileptic attacks, and deriving no advantage from physicians, set about learning botany, in order that he might discover the medicinal properties of veget ables, and thus become his own doctor. Notwithstanding the common proverb, that the man who is his own doctor has a fool for his patient, the Neapolitan did not study botany in vain. After trying a host of plants, he at length alighted on valerian, and cured himself of epilepsy. Without intending any disparagement to the skill and perseverance of this resolute gentleman, it may be permitted to hazard a doubt whether the disease which afflicted him was really epilepsy. Let us now proceed to an STAMENIFEROUS FLORET OF THE DAISY. 178. PISTILLIFEROUS enumeration of the principal FLORET OF THE DAISY. The flowers of most of the 176. THE FLOWERS, LEAVES, AND Valerianacea contain both pistils and stamens, though certain members are monoecious, others dicecious. Usually the inflorescence is a cyme, sometimes a corymb. The tube of the calyx is attached to the ovary; the limb of the calyx divided into three or four parts. The corolla, inserted into the margin of a disc crowning the ovary, is tubular, and shaped like a funnel. Its tube is often spurred at the base, its limb generally divided into five lobes, and sometimes irregular. The stamens inserted upon the tube of the corolla alternate with the divisions of the latter. Their number is rarely five, more frequently four, the fifth, or internal one, being suppressed; sometimes three, by the suppression of the lateral stamens. Lastly, in certain cases only the innermost stamen becomes developed. The anthers are bent inward; the ovary inferior, composed of three carpels, forming three ledges, two of which are empty, the third alone fertile. The ovule is reflexed, and hangs from the cell; the style is simple filiform, terminated by two or three stigmas, which are sometimes coherent into one. The fruit is dry, indehiscent, ordinarily unilocular by disappearance of the barren cells; never containing more than one seed; Valerianacea, commencing with the Valeriana officinalis, which is the species most commonly employed. This plant is generally distributed throughout Europe, where it frequently grows in humid meadows, rarely in dry and sandy places; its stem is furrowed, its leaves pennisecate and covered with down. The Valeriana phu is a German species, cultivated in our gardens, the radical leaves of which are simple and lanceolate, the flowers white. Valeriana Sichensis is a North American species, and valued beyond every other by the Russians. The ancients vaunted the medicinal qualities of the Celtic and Indian nard. The former (Valeriana Celtica) grows on the mountain summits of Styria and Carinthia; the latter is a native of the Alps. Both are still the objects of a very considerable com merce, large quantities being sent every year to Turkey and Egypt from Trieste, whence they find their way to the interior of Africa and India. The Indian nard, or spikenard of the ancients, was in great favour; not that it was exactly a medicine, but it was thought to secure the affections of any lady or gentleman to the opposite party giving it. The plant to which the ancient term refers is supposed by botanists to be the Nardostachys Jatamansi, which is in high repute among the natives of India as a perfume and a remedy for epilepsy. However well attested by ancient testimony the efficacy of spikenard may be, still, in our times, it may be doubted whether the mineral kingdom be not more potent than the vegetable in securing the affections of young ladies. The chief ornamental plant furnished to our gardens by this natural order is the Centranthus ruber, or crimson centranthus (Fig. 179), remarkable for its floral panicles. The corolla is purple, red, white, or lilac, furnished with a spur-like projection at its base, and only containing one stamen. Its root possesses the usual odour of the valerian tribe. SECTION XLI.-CAPRIFOLIACEAE, OR CAPRIFOILS. more Characteristics: Calyx adherent to the ovary; corolla epigynous; stamens inserted upon the corolla; ovary inferior, two or more celled, containing one or seeds; seed dicotyledonous, albuminous; leaves without stipules. The Caprifoliaceœ are generally trees or shrubs, some of them climbers. The leaves are opposite; stipules absent, or represented by hairs or glands situated at the base of the petioles. The flowers are complete, regular, or almost irregular, disposed in a head or terminal corymb springing from axillary peduncles. The limb, or free part of the calyx, is cleft, or five dentated. The corolla is tubular, or infundibuliform, or rotate, having five-partite limb, ordinarily regular, imbricated in æstivation. The sta mens are in number equal to that of the divisions of the corolla with which they are alternate. a 179. and delicately-scented plants, are general favourites as ornamental members of the vegetable world. Nor is ornament their only quality; many of them have another claim to our regard as medicinal agents. The berries of the common honeysuckle are eminently purgative, although but rarely employed in medical practice. The symphorine (Symphoricarpus parviflora), a small North American species, bearing small flowers and bright-red berries, which, appearing towards the end of summer, form such an agreeable ornament in our gardens, is also useful as a medicine. Its root is astringent, and is employed by the people of North America as a febrifuge. The Linnæa Borealis is an herbaceous evergreen plant, very prevalent in the forests of Sweden, which being the native country of Linnæus, the plant has been dedicated to him. Like the common honeysuckle, it is a creeper, but its infloration is different, each stem terminating with two campanulate or bellshaped flowers, rose-coloured within, white externally. This plant, also, is employed by the Swedes as a medicine. In addition to the Loniceraceæ already mentioned, there are many beautiful species cultivated in our gardens. Among the honeysuckles we have the evergreen honeysuckle (Caprifolium sempervirens), a native 180. 179. THE CRIMSON CENTRANTHUS (CENTRANTHUS RUBER). 181. THE GUELDER ROSE (VIBURNUM OPULUS). A very familiar example of a member of this natural family is the common elder (Fig. 180). The natural order of Caprifoliaceae is usually sub-divided by botanical writers into two tribes, Loniceracea and Sambuceœ. The Caprifoliacea chiefly belong to temperate or cool regions of the northern hemisphere. They are more abundant in Central Asia, in the north of India, and in America, than in Europe. Certain species pass beyond the limits which seem to be imposed by nature to the family, and penetrate into tropical climes; but not being able to support the full rigour of a tropical sun, they take refuge on mountain elevations. A small number of the elder genus, that truly cosmopolitan family, is met with in Chili and in Australia. The Loniceracea, or honeysuckle sub-tribe, those beautiful flowers rose-coloured externally, white internally; and ruddy fruits. Passing on to the conside ration of the elder tribe, the common elder tree (Sambucus nigra) first comes under our notice. It is quite a cosmopolite, known almost everywhere, and consecrated by ancient traditions. Every part of this tree diffuses, when bruised, a disagreeable odour, and a bitter acrid juice exudes. Its berries are familiar in England as the basis of elder wine. In many parts of Germany they are boiled, and in that state eaten as a favourite article of food. The guelder rose (Viburnum opulus), an illustration of which is given in Fig. 181, partakes to some extent the properties of the common elder. The Viburnum Lantana, or wayfaring tree," possesses berries and leaves which are slightly astringent, but the external bark is so acrid that in some countries it is employed as a blister. V.

To her my thoughts will fondly turn; By rank, by faction unbeguiled; Our venerable fathers trod, When they through toil and danger pressed, And from each lip the caution fell To those who follow'd, "Guard it well."-Thomson. LESSONS IN LATIN.-XXI. THE LATIN VERB: ITS SEVERAL TERMINATIONS. THE student is already familiar with case-endings and the way in which they modify the signification of nouns. He must now pass on to consider certain endings in the verbs which in a similar manner affect their import. Referring him back to what has already been said respecting the verb, we here take up the subject, and ask his attention to voice-endings, personendings, tense-endings, and mood-endings. As preliminary to the whole, we must recall to mind what has been said respecting the stem of words. Having reviewed in his thoughts what has gone before, the reader will find our present statements easy. The endings, then, to which we have just adverted, are added to the stem of the verb, and being so added, vary the meaning. The stem of a verb is that part to which these endings are added. If the endings have been already made, they must be removed. When you have gone through these instructions, you will know what they are. Take lego, I read, as an instance. You are already aware that the o at the end is the sign of the first person singular, indicative mood, present tense, active voice. Cut off that o, and you have leg; leg is the stem. Now in English, if we want to make I read passive, we insert another word, and say I am read. Instead of inserting another word, the Romans added an r to the active form, making the verb stand thus, legor, I am read. Hence r, you see, is here the sign of the passive. In verbs, r at or near the end is generally the sign of the passive voice; thus in lega", I may be read; and legerer, I might be read, the r is the sign of the passive; for the corresponding active forms are legam. I may read; legerem, I might read. The voice-endings vary with the persons; thus, as the active endings are o, is, it, so the passive endings are or, ĕris, itur. Thus voice-endings and person-endings combine, as you see, in this example of THE VOICE-ENDINGS AND PERSON-ENDINGS OF THE PRESENT TENSE, INDICATIVE MOOD. Active. Lego, legis, legit; legimus, legitis, legunt. Passive. Legor, legeris, legitur; legimur, legimini, leguntur. To the voice-endings and person-endings must be added the tense-endings. In English we form the past tense, for instance, of the verb I love, by adding to love the consonant d, I loved. Something like this takes place in Latin. Thus, as amo is 1 love, amabam is I loved; the bam performing in Latin the part which the d performs in English. This bam, in the active voice, is made passive by being changed into bar, r taking the place of m. Putting these three endings together, we have an example of VOICE-ENDINGS, PERSON-ENDINGS, AND TENSE-ENDINGS OF THE IMPERFECT INDICATIVE. Active. Legebam, legebas, legebat; legebamus, legebatis, legebant. Passive. Legebar, legebaris, legebatur; legebamur, legebamini, legebantur, Another variation is introduced by the mood-endings. The examples given are in the indicative mood. We subjoin an instance of the change in the endings, by which the subjunctive In the subjunctive mood rem is added tɔ the stem, instead of bam; thus mood is indicated. VOICE-ENDINGS, PERSON-ENDINGS, TENSE-ENDINGS, MOOD-ENDINGS OF THE SUBJUNCTIVE MOOD, IMPERFECT TENSE. Active. Legerem, legeres, legeret; legeremus, legeretis. legerent. Passive. Legerer, legereris, legeretur; legeremur, legeremini, legerentur. The endings will be more clearly seen, if they stand by themselves, as in the following example: Some tenses in the passive voice are formed as in English, by ENDINGS OF THE PERFECT TENSE INDICATIVE, ACTIVE AND You thus see that there is a present stem, an imperfect stem, a perfect stem, an infinitive stem, and a supine stem. Of these, the imperfect and the infinitive are nearly the same. Properly speaking, the present stem in amo is the same as the imperfect and the infinitive, for the second a is a part of the root. Hence amo is a contraction of ama-o. KEY TO EXERCISES IN LESSONS IN LATIN.-XX. (Vol. II., p. 210.) EXERCISE 73.-LATIN-ENGLISH. 1. God is present in all places. 2.
