The fraxinella, or, as it used to be
called, false dittany, has a peculiar
property seldom noted except by those
who makea particular study of plants.
The whole plant emits an odor of
lemon peel and when bruised it has a
strong balsamic smell. This scent is
strongest in the pedicles of the flow
ers, which are covered with glands of
a rusty red color, exuding a viscid
juice or resin, which exales in vapor
and on q dark night may be seen to
take fire. The fraxinella has a strong
and agreeable perfume and may be
easily cultivated in any ordinary gar

A SOUL.

Through the field where the brown quaih whistle
Over the ferns where the rabbits lie,
Floats the tremulous down OF n thistle;
Is 1t the soul OF a butterfly
Seei how they scatter and then assemble
Filling the air while the blossoms fade,
Delicate atoms that whirla and trcmble
In the slanting sunlight that skirts the glade
There goes the summers inconstant lover,
Drifting and wandering, faint and far;
Only bewAiled by the upland ployer,
Watched by only the twilight star.
Come next August, when thistles blossom,
See how each Is alive with wingsl
Butterflies seek their souls in It's bosom,
Changed henceforth TO immortal things.
