JUNE.

Henry had the curiosity to climb the tree, and 

 look at the. nest, which was exceedingly neat, 

 with eggs tlie size of peas'; but perceiving the 

 agitation of the little bird, who darted within 

 a few inches of his head, he made a hasty re- 

 treat, not willing to disturb so lovely a crea- 

 ture. 



At the close of the month- the Kalmia Bush 

 was in blccm. Some of the woods near by 

 were profusely ornamented with this most 

 beautiful indigenous shrub. The Azalea was 

 in bloom the beginning of the month — of 

 which there were two species ; one with red 

 flowers, in dry woods, the other in low 

 grounds, with white flowers, both ornamental 

 and fragrant. 



Honeysuckles now displayed their beauties, 

 gracefully winding up the pillars of the cot- 

 tage, perfuming the whole, house with their 

 exquisite fragrance.
