MA.Y 27 
Honesty . Honesty. 
The man who consecrates his hours 
By vig’rous effort, and an honest aim, 
At once he draws the sting of life and death; 
He walks with Nature, and her paths are peace. 
youNG. 
An honest man is still an unmov’d rock, 
Washed whiter, but not shaken with the shock.

.. MAY 28 . 
Honeysuckle . Affection. 
I plucked a honeysuckle where 
The hedge on high is quick with thorn, 
And climbing for the prize was torn, 
And fouled my feet in quag-water; 
And by the thorns and by the wind 
The blossom that I took was tliinn’d, 
And yet I found it sweet and fair.

. MAY 29 . 
Honeysuckle (Coral) . Bonds of love. 
Whose heart is at rest, he alone is a lover: 
The winters shall change not, the storms leave unshaken, 
Whose love shall endure, though all blossoms be taken, 
Whose love shall endure when earth’s durance is over, 
Whose love shall enfold, though the world have forsaken. 
Edward Ellis.
