BoTANY.-The study of thiS beautiful
science is particularly adapted to young fe-
males, to whom we would recommend it,
as lasting source Of pleasure and amuse-
ment. 1t will be found much less difficult
than may at first be apprehended, and the
enjoyment experienced in its progress
will be such that difficulties, much greater
than those which really present themselves,
would be no barrier to the attainment of
the science. The nomenclature, which
appears at first view so repulsive, soon To-

science requires, and the perpetual con-
temptation Of the variegated and splendid
colorings Of nature. operate as species of
attraction 50 irresistible that the student
can neither resist nor control it. No OBJ
