MERICAN LINDEN, or BASS-WOOD. Tilia Americana. Class 13, Polyandria. Order: Monogynta. The American Linden, or Bass-wood, is a lofty tree, but the wood is not extensively used. We have two other species, in the south and west, whose wood possesses similar properties, and is likewise little employed.
MATRIMONY.
From that day forth, in peace and joyous bliss
They lived together long without debate;
Nor private jars, nor spite of enemies,
Could shake the safe assurance of their states.

Spenser
Nothing shall assuage
Your love but marriage: for such is
The tyeing of two in wedlock, as is
The tuning of two lutes in one key: for
Striking the strings of the one, straws will stir
Upon the strings of the other; and in
Two minds link’d in love, one cannot be
Delighted, but the other rejoiceth.

Marriage is a matter of more worth,
Than to be dealt in by attorneyship.
Than to be dealt in by attorneyship.
Shakspeare
What is wedlock forced but a hell,
An age of discord and continual strife!
Whereas the contrary bringeth forth bliss,
And is a pattern of celestial peace.
An age of discord and continual strife!
Whereas the contrary bringeth forth bliss,
And is a pattern of celestial peace.
