HYACINTH. 



(Continued.) 



Oh, how with one trivial glance, 

 Might she ruin the peace of my mind ! 



Shenstone. 



HYDRANGER. 



Hydrangea hortensis. 



A boaster. One whom the music of his own vain tongue 



Doth ravish, like enchanting harmony. . . - Shaks. 



JASMINE, White. 

 Jasminum officinale. 



The lad of all sufficient merit, 



With modesty, ne'er damps his spirit. 



Gay. 



The breath of others raises our renown ; 

 Our own, as surely blows the pageant down ; 

 Take up no more than you by worth can claim, 

 Lest soon you prove a bankrupt in your fame. 



* * * 



Superior honour, when assumed, is lost. . . Young. 



Amabllity . More fair, 



More sweet, than the jassamine's flower ! 



What are pinks in a morn to compare ? 



What is eglantine after a shower ? . . . Shenstone. 



You bear a gentle mind, and heavenly 

 Blessings follow such creatures. . . 



Shaks. 



Not only good and kin d, 

 But strong and elevated was her mind. . Lyttelton. 



Still o'er my life preserve thy mild control, 

 Correct my views, and elevate my soul. . 



And love, and gentleness, and joy impart. . Beattie. 



Answer. 



Not to delight thine eye alone design'd, 



But touch, and calm, and elevate the mind. Anon. 



JASMINE, Yellow. Grace and Elegance. Graceful to sight, and elegant to thought. 



Bignonia sempervirens. Sweet thoughts are mirror'd in her face, 



And every motion is a grace 



Young. 



C***e. 



Her grace of motion, and of look, the smooth 



And swimming majesty of step and tread, 



The symmetry of form and feature, set 



The soul afloat, even like delicious airs 



Of flute and harp Milman.
