This is what is termed the popular part of the science of botany, and, perhaps, it is more important than the mere classification of genera and species, which is usually all the information that you get from the learned and systematic botanists. This is a large forest tree, with lobed leaves, of a heart-shape.

The Sunday after, there was the same appearance, varied with gingerbread, and then for years, I neither saw, nor heard of him. Poor Joseph was threatened with the constable, and was put to no more expense for cakes for his foster-son. I shall now draw the dolorous recital of what I have termed my epoch of despondency to a close.

"You say well, my worthy host," said the guest, with a melancholy smile, which, melancholy as it was, gave a very pleasant: expression to his countenance "you say well, my jovial friend; and they that are moody like myself should not disturb the mirth of those who are happy. I will drink a round with your guests with all my heart, rather than be termed a mar-feast."

But although they could procure a constant supply of these natural productions, they considered them but a poor substitute for bread; and all of them longed to eat once more what is usually termed the "staff of life" though in South Africa, where so many people live exclusively upon the flesh of animals, bread is hardly entitled to that appellation. Bread they were likely to have, and soon.

The interval during which time the coffin remained there was termed kari-mo-gari, or "temporary mourning." Known as kakushi-matsuri, or the "rite of hiding."

All these observances were dispensed with in the case of the Emperor Sushun.
