CHAPTER XIII.

Many sacrifices Of similar kind, howev-
err, are required Of Charney. The epoch
of fruti6caiion is arrived The brilliant

achieving their maternal triumphs, begin to
disdain for themselves the vain adornmenls
Of coqueiry.
The Count now devoted his attention to
the most sublime Of all the mysteries OF ma
iure, the perpetuation of created kinds, and
the reproduction Of life. In opening and
analysing bud detached some time before
from the tree, BY the injury Of an insect,
Charney had noticed the primary germ
destined TO fertilization. but demanding
protection aud nutriment from the flower

already preparing herself for the PREPARATION
Of her losses. On all sides, buds are reap
pearing. From every joint of her stem. or
branches, new shoots are putting forth TO
produce a second Towering.
In pursuance of his task, Charney soon
took his usual seat with the grave demean-
our Of an experimenialist But scarcely
had he cast his eyes upon the plant when

Thus passed the DAYS of the nr;sons,
and after whole hours devoted to inquiry and
analysis. Charney loved to turn from The
WEAKNESS of his studies to the brightness Of
ms illnslons,-from Picciola the blooming
plant, to Picciola the blooming girl. When.
