JANUARY 6 
Ageratum --— Politeness. 
In simple manners all the secret lies: 
Be kind and virtuous, you’ll be blest and wise, 
Young. 
Of softest manners, unaffected mind; 
Lover of peace, and friend of human kind. 
Pope. 
For seldom yet did living creature see 
That courtesie and manhood ever disagree. 
J3penser. 
. . . . . . JANUARY 7 —.. 
Agrimony. . Thankfulness. 
If you have lived, take thankfully the past; 
Make, as you can, the sweet remembrance last. 
Pryden. 
I understood not that a grateful mind; 
By owing owes not, but still pays, at once 
Indebted and discharg’d.

.. JANUARY 8 -- 
Aloe - - - Grief. 
Half of the ills we hoard within our hearts, 
Are ills because we hoard them. 
Proctor. 
Who then, unclouded bliss would seek 
On this terrestrial sphere, 
When e’en delight can only speak, 
Like sorrow, in a tear? 
Metastasio.
