BACHELOR’S BUTTON. — Single Wretchedness . 
Alone, alone, all, all alone ! 
Alone on a wide, wide sea ! 
I would be married, but I ’d have no wife ; 
I would be wedded to a single life.

CALL A. — Magnificent Beauty. 
0 rubicund rose, and white as the lily ! 
0 clarified crystal of worldly portraiture ! 
0 courfin figure resplendent with glory ! 
0 Gem of Beautee ! 0 carbuncle shining pure ! 
Your fairness exceedeth the craft of Dame Nature ! 
Lydgate. 1370.

GRASS. — Usefulness. 
Cheerfully of thine abundance. 
To the sick and poor impart ; 
And lift up the weight of sorrow 
Erom the crushed and burthened heart. 
T. B. Thayer.
