Y._ EDELWEISS [Illustration: Leontopodium Alpinum] "There is a flower known to botanists, one of the same genus with our summer plant called 'Life-Everlasting,' a _Gnaphalium_ like that, which grows on the most inaccessible cliffs of the Tyrolese mountains, where the chamois dare hardly venture, and which the hunter, tempted by its beauty and by his love (for it is immensely valued by the Swiss maidens), climbs the cliffs to gather, and is sometimes found dead at the foot, with the flower in his hand. It is called by botanists the _Gnaphalium leontopodium_, but by the Swiss _EDELWEISSE_, which signifies _NOBLE PURITY_." RALPH WALDO EMERSON.
