sprinkles hedge banks with a border of milky hue. 

 The pretty Geranium lucidum now spreads abundantly 

 its bright red stalks, the Bush-vetch (Vicimn sepium,)

 heath Vetch (Orobus tuber osus).

 nightingale all night the weather is fair and " sea- 

 sonable," and every thing looks daily more and more 

 beautiful.
