It II aS cience pee lilirly appnriate I9 gentle minds. I ts cultivation imposes no tax upon the feelings, shocks no sensibility, involves no cruelty. All its incidents and attributes are promotive of health and pure intellectual pleasure. Why should not such a science be made an indispensable branch of education 1A sa mere accompU shmefU it is entitled to rank with any of those omamentid acquirements to which so much time is devoted. As a means of enlarging and disciplining the mind, training it to hkbits of correct observation and profitable reflection, theS tudy of Plants is far superior to many of those fashionable and fugitive attainments which now so frequently engross the attention of the young. It is a pursuit, too, which carries with it its own reward. The knowledge which it affords is at once pleasing in the acquisition, and of enduring value; It is eontinuaU ycalled for, and always ready at command, tminister to the gratification of its possessor, whether in the garden, the field, or the forest.
