Cranberry ....—-- Hardihood. 
Let fortune empty all her quiver on me, 
I have a soul that, like an ample shield, 
Can take it all, and verge enough for more. 
Pryden. 
The mind I sway by, and the heart I bear, 
Shall never swag with doubt, nor shake with fear. 
Shakespeare.

Be thou the first, true merit to befriend; 
His praise is lost who waits till all command.

The fame that man wins himself, is best, 
That he may call his own.

Without the stamp of merit, let none presume 
To wear undeserved dignity.

Crocus (Spring).-..... Cheerfulness. 
And her against sweet cheerfulness was placed, 
Whose eyes like twinkling stars in evening clear 
Were deck’t with smyles that all sad humors chased, 
And darted forth delights, the which her goodly graced. 
(Spenser. 
Cheerful looks make every dish a feast, 
And ’tis that crowns a welcome. 
JvIassinger.
