''Hedera Helix" or English Ivy" l
is vine signifying friendship and matri
mony, and was sacredly regarded BY
Bacchus, who usually wore a wreath o
it as an emblem Of piety. 1t reminded
me Of beautiful poem of Dickens, upol
1.-THE Ivy Green" Which give below:
o, a dainty plant is the ivy green,
: That creepeth DER ruins old!
OF right choice food are his meals, ween
In his cell so lone and cold
The wall must be crumbled, the stone de
cayed,
To pleasure his dainty whim;
And the Wondering dust that years liav
made.
Is merry meal for him.
Creeping where no life is seen,
: A rare old plants the ivy green.
Fast he stealeth on, though he wears III
:, wings,
I And a staunch old heart has he.
t How closely he twineth, how tight h
clings,
TO his friend the huge oalstree!
And slyly he traileth along the ground,
And his leaves he gently waves,
Y AS he ioyously hugs and crawleth roun
The rich mould of dead mems graves,
Creeping where grim death has been;
A rare old plant is the ivy green:
) Whole ages have fled and their Works dc
cayed.
: And nations have scattered been;
G But the stout old ivy shall never fade,
From its hale and hearty green.
The brave old plant in its lonely days
: Shall fatten upon the past;
