HELIOTROPES.
‘True as the dial to the sun.”—Bapvos Boots'
Nowhere in Nature do we see the
utter dependence of life on the bright,
warm rays of the sun more clearly
exhibited than in the large class of
•flowers which awake with the great
orb, follow its course in the heavens,
and sink into deep sleep when the
night gains the victory. Early in
the morning our white water-lily
rises slowly trom its dark couch be
low to the surface of the water,
turning its chaste calyx toward the
east; at noon it looks straight up,
fully unfolded, and at night it once
more closes its beautiful petals,
turned to the west, and then sinks si
lently into the deep. But it is not only
the poetical nympheaa, which thus
pays allegiance to the sun; even
less highly-gifted flowers, the very
herbs of the field acknowledge
their dependence, and the wanderer,
who in the evening approaches a
blooming meadow from the east,
sees not a single blossom on the
green carpet, all the tiny, bright
cups and clusters loqkuig steadfast
ly toward the west. Nor is it the
position only by which blossoms
show their worship; the opening
and closing of their petals also keeps
pace with the progress of their great
lord on high; every flower is in
slow but steady motion ; it has an
hour of fullest unfolding, and anoth
er moment, twelve hours later, of
complete closing. It is true the
hour differs, but it returns generally
with such unerring regularity that
Linnaeus could easily compose his
flower-clock of plant*, each of whi«h
opened its flowers precisely at a
given time. It need not be said
that, of course, temperature, mois
ture, and other climatic influences,
frequently interfere with this punct
uality. Some flowers are so sensi
tive to moisture in the air, that they
close before the rain begins, and thus
like a certain marigold, serve as an
unfailing barometer. Others close
from excessive sensitiveness to light,
whenever the sun hides for a lew
minutes behind dark clouds, and the
majority of all flowers fall asleep
during an eclipse of some duration.
Even ( the leaves of composite plants
partake of this marvellous suscepti
bility ; a visit to our gardens in a
dark night shows, by the help of a
lantern, a number of locusts (aca
cias), the common clover, and the
wood-sorrel, sleeping last, with all
their leaves folded up, as we close
our eyelids. > A strange feature in
this sensitiveness is the capricious
diversity among plants, of which
some close and go to sleep—-not at
night, but in the heat of midday,
while others bloom only at night,
tearing the ardent rays of the sun,
and, the nympbrea, lotos, or l|>fl
night-blooming cereus, unfolding
their matchless beauty only to the
chaste moon.
Plants which turn their fair faces
consistently toward the sun, are
known as heliotropes, aside front
other features which assign them to
certain families and classes. In old
en days this carious habit of theirs
was attributed to an occult sympa.
thy between flowers and sunlight, as
another sympathy of the same kind
bound up other flowers with moon-*
light. Even Decandofle spoke only
ol “a stronger attraction of the sun
on one side and a constant increase
ol evaporation,” which caused the
stem to twist and flower to turn—-
But the connection is'far more inti
mate,"Since even color ahd taste de
pend on the bright light of the sun.
Many plants, opening in the morn
ing, are white till noon, when tJbqy
turn: ned, and at times they assume
even k third shade at night; others
.which-have an acid taste at an early
hour, taste sweetish when the day is
advanced, and the whole process of
life in plants must, therefore depend
upon light. Spectral analysis, the
great discoverer of our day, has es
tablished the fact that the blue and
violet rays of the prism alone pro
duce these movements in plants,
while the red and green rays merely
profit by the newly-assumed posi
tion to further the activity of life, the
coloring, the growth, and the matu
ring of the saed, Plants raised un
de* a j>ell of red glass look healthy,
but do not grow toward the light!
under a blue bell they follow the
rays of light, but remain stunted
am), etiolated.
Generally, all plants exhibit-a vio
lent longing lor light, and only a few,
like ivy, ferns, and selaginelhe, turn
with the riigfat-bloomi&J|jfywers to
ward the snadfe. Experiments have
been made to test the power employ
ed by* plants for the purpose of
reaching the light, when purposely
kept in the shade, and the results
have been fcmWM ot
the vine twist, and tutn, and stretch
their leaf-stalks beyond at! expecta
tion, in order to catch some rays of
the sun j the powerful items of the
sunflower show the same magic pow
er; marigold and scabiosa, dande
lion and chervil, all follow the sun
with unwearied fidelity, and exhib
it almost marvellous energy in their
efforts.
This mysterious sympathy be
tween plants and the great luminary
that gives them life and beauty, and
the power of unceasing regeneration,
has from the beginning excited the
imagination of men. It was this
which led to the worship of the lo
tos in Egypt, and a kindred plant in
India. The philosopher Proclus
taught distinctly that the former, by
opening its fair flowers as the sun
rose in the heavens; and by closing
it.when night came, proved its wor
ship of the great God not less than
man did by folding his bands and
moving his lips in silent prayer.—
Hence all Egypt abounds with pic
tures and sculptures representing
Hbrus sheltered by the gigantic
blossoms of the nymphaaa Stellata.
To the Indians the nymphoea was a
symbol of creation, and brahma, the
Creator, floated in its magnificent
calyx. Sir William Jones tells us, not
without deep emotion, how great was
his astonishment when he saw a na
tive of Nepaul bow low before the
sacred flower which happened to
stand in his office.
Ovid has a different account of the
origin of heliotropes. He tells us of a
fair daughter of the sea-god, Clytia,
whom Apollo loved beyond all mor
tals and immortals. But in an evil
hour he forgot her and gave his heart
to another nymph, whom he deceiv
ed by assuming the form of her
mother. Clytia, tho Bright, filled
with jealous rage, betrayed the poor
child’s sin to her parents, who buried
her alive; hut then came remorse,
and nine days she remained crouch
ing on the ground without food or
drink, brooding over her sorrow and
her misdeed. She never moved , on
ly following the sun-god with her
tearful countenance from morn till
night; at last her fair form withered
and wasted away, shrinking info a
pale, sad-looking plant with a violet
shaped flower, where her face had
once shown; and, although held fast
by the root, the flower to this day
never ceases to gaze at the great god
in the heiVens, preserving the an
cient, unchanging affection.
flower the poet may have
meant, is not known. Pliny believes
it to be the heliotrope of our day,
“which,” he says, “even on cloudy
the course of the sun, so
great 13 its affection for the great orb!
At night the sky-blue flower closes
as if overcome by its longing for the
sun.” Modern botanists believe that
the poet bad in his mind a more
modest flower, often called sun-rose
(Heliunlhemutnroscum), with recum
bent stem and flowers, not unlike the
violets.
In Northern Europe, however, a
far less poetical plant has been sub
stituted. Here botanists almost un
animously designate the common
blue chicory as the true Representa
tive of heliotropes. It was known of
old already as the Sponsa Solis, the
sun’s bride, because it faithfully
follows the sun all day long, even
when the latter is hid behind dark
clouds, and at night closes its petals.
Legends, however, abound here also,
telling of a faithful but forsaken
rriaiden, who, in her lover's absence,
still instinctively followed the sun
day after day-, hoping at every hour
to see him return who had Wotl her
heart and broken The
strange fact that an ant running over
its blue petals turns them red in an
instant—long looked upon as a mira
cle of Nature, but now ascribed to
the acid of the inseet—was happily
explained as the maiden’s blush in
rare moments of returning conscious-;
ness, when sjhe was ashamed of ihos
betraying to the world her unrequit
ed love.
It is hardly necessary to add that
no ancient writer could have meant
the flower which in our day is pro
verbially taken as there presemative
of the heliotropes, the sunflower,
since this gigantic plant, the flowers
of which not un frequently measure $
foot iu diameter, is a native of our
own continent, and did not reach
Europe till late in the sixteenth«en.
tury. In vain did lovers ot Ovid, in
vain did poetical minds like Mad
ame de Genlis, deny its American
origin; botanists soon established the
fact beyond all dispute, and a Span

The great naturalist Kircher was
therefore, utterly astray, when he
proposed in his learned work anew,
unerring clock, consisting of a*kind
of sundial, dealing on the surface of a
pond, with a hand to be guided by
the regular motion of a ssnflowcr.
Its enormous size and the almost
incredible number of seeds, which
turnish a rich, golden oil, made it
soon a favorite with painters, who
loved to introduce it in pictures of
Paradise. A3 it reached Europe at
a time when symbols and emblems
were all the rage, it was, of course,
soon pressed into service, and apj
peared everywhere in seals aud
devices. Turning toward the sun,
as an emblem of perfect fidelity,
with the motto “Je sin's,” it became
in etrange self-condemnation, tho
favorite of courtiers, and, best ofatl,
held by the hand of a youth with
bandaged eyes, it personified in
stinct.
As among men, so there are among
plants also some which say:
"Let others hail the rising sun ;
I bow to that whose race is run,’*
Heliotropes sometimes turn from
the sun as anxiously as their sisters
turn toward the great luminary, and
we all know the beautiful jasmine of
the Orient, which opens its fragrant
snow-white blossoms only when the
•un has disappeared in utter dark
ness, and drops the short-lived off
spring with the first blush of morn
ing. Hindostan immortalizes, in
this shrub, the sad tree of botanists
(Nyetanlhes arbor tristisJ, a fair
daughter of the land, whom the
sun-god loved passionately, but only
to deceive and leave her after a
short peried of ineffable happiness.
She ended her life in despair, and
her body was burned according to
the custom of the land; from the
ashes, however, sprang up the new
tree, whose flowers ever since shun
the sun. and cannot bear its bright
light. So true it is that—
“The meanest flower that blooms can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.’-

A Mother’s Love.
Did ever any one fully appreciate
this great boon, next in value to that
love towards us manifested by our
Heavenly parent in giving his belov
ed son to die on the cross, that we
ungrateful creatures of his might not
be deprived of that which out diso
bedience had forfeited ? or did there
ever exist a man, woman or child,
who could presume to do justice to
thesabjeel in trying to describe it ?
*Tis not through hope of being able
to do justice to it that I have taken
my pen m hand at this time, but ra
ther to add a word of warning, and
at the same time help to guide the
young and thoughtless t 6 prosperity.
“Honor thy Father and Mother, that
thy days may be long in the.,land
which the Lord thy Godgiveth thee,”
is a commandment given by our all
wise Parent, and one which no child
can defy and stiff enjoy life. In our
youth we are apt often to come a
cross like matters, that inexperience
on our part-may render us entirely
unfit to deal with aldrie; things
which we are apt to see in a false
light, and in Such instahdes a moth
er’s love, guided by her greatest ex
perience should be consulted.
How many children by heeding
the abovedivine command have lived
in prosperity, while others straying
beyond its limits have drunk the
bitter dregs ever present-itt the cup
of sin.
A mothers love will recognize and
stretch forth a supporting hand,
when nearest friends turn upon you
with the deepest disdain. Though
cares may be hearing, that mother
rapidly to the grave, she never grows
indifferent to the trials and misfor
tunes of a child, though covered with
the sins of disobedience to that di
vine command, but is willing (o take
his burdens upon her shoulders, aud
suffer in his stead, giving consola
tion that comes from a heart; long a
stranger to ease. My happiest mo
ments are at sticb times as loan re
call some act of mine tong" years a
go, performed for the comfort and
delight of a noble mother, “and noth
ing casts a greater shadow of regret
over any past history than the
know ledge that I have wantonly or
carelessly pained, by word or acl,
that fond mother’s heart. Within
'he limits of that command are con*
toined joys unspeakable,—outside,

To Make Mischief.
Keep your eye on your neighbors.
Take care of them. Do not let them
stir without watching. They may do
something wrong if you do. To he
sure, you never knew them to do
anything very bad, hut it may be on
your account they have not. Per'
haps it it had not been for your kind
care they might have disgraced
themselves a long time ago. There
fore do not relax any effort, to keep
them where they ought to be. Never
mind your own business—that will
take care of itself.- There is a man
passing along—he is looking over
the fence—be suspicious of him ;
perhaps he contemplates stealing
some of these datk nights; there is
no knowing what cjueer fancies he
may have got into his head.
If you find any symptoms of any
one passing out of the path of duty,
tell every one else what you see, and
be particular to see a great many.
It is a good way to circulate such
things, though it may not benefit
yourself or any one else particularly.
Do keep something going; though it
is said there was silence in heaven
for the space of half an hour, do not
let any such thing occur on earth ;
it would be too much for this mun
dane sphere.
If, after all your watchful care,
you cannot see anything out of the
way in any one, you may be sure it
is not because they have not done
anything bad; perhaps in an un
guarded moment you lost sight of
them—throw out hints that they are
no better than they should be—that
you should not wonder if the people
found out what they were after a
while, then they may not carry their
heads so high. Keep it going, and
someone may take the hint and be
gin to help you along after a while—
then there will be music and every*
thing will work to a charm.

Married men are of two kinds—
good and bad. The bad are truly
horrible; the good, very good in
deed. The bad married tnan ill
treats his family in every way, and
generally ends by running away
and leaving his wife to earn a living
by needle-work. Butt he good mar
ried man—well, he is not madly in
love any more, but he believes there
never was such a woman as his
wife. He does not see Time’s chan
ges in her face; she is always young
to him. Every baby binds them
closer to each other.
There is an expression in every
married man’s face that a bachelor’s
cannot have. It it indescribable.—
He is little nearer the angels than
the prettiest young fellow living.
You can see that his broad chest is
a pillow for. somebody’s head, and
that little fingers pull his whiskers.
When someone has said Husband,
and some other Papa, a little seal is
set upon his forehead. No one—no
woman, at least—ever mistakes the
good married man for an instant.
It is only the erratic one who leaves
you in doubt. The good one can
protect all the unprotected females,
and make.jymself generally agreea
ble to the ladies, and yet never
leave a doubt on any mind that there
is a precious little woman at home
worth all the world to him.
Who Was to Blame—Adam or
Eve>— The Xburier- Journal says: A
writer in the New York Evening
Mail reminds us that Adam endeav
ored, to ship the blame of his fall up
on ’Eve. It ja, wrong for one to speak
disrespectfully of bis. grand-parents,
but we can’t help thinking that Ad
am acted the rascal in that little af
fair. Instead of assyming the entire
responsibility for the disreputable
transaction and taking the conse
quences upon himself, which he, as
the ostensible hfead of the family,
ought to'have doney hb had the inef
fable meanness to throw the blame
upon his wife. HSnett conduct was
utterly unworthy a Christian gentle
man, anddf fee had had a brother-in
fauf of anjtj-Spirit whatever,’ the
chances atV*£l he would have gone
out of that, ratten in the foremost
vehicle of a funeral procession,.
