Lavender ....*----— Confession. 
Thou art emblem of the friend, 
Who, whatsoe’er our lot, 
The balm of faithful love will lend, 
And, true and constant to the end, 
May die, but althr not. 
(Strickland, 
Human faults with human grief confess. 
J^RIOR. 
JUNE 25 
Lemon Verbena . Forgiveness. 
Forgive and Forget! Why the world would be lonely, 
The garden a wilderness left to deform, 
If the flowers but remember’d the chilling winds only 
And the fields gave no verdure for fear of the storm. 
Pharles (Swain, 
’Tis easier for the generous to forgive 
Than for offence to ask it. 
'J'hompson. 
JUNE 26 
Lemon Blossoms . Discretion. 
Consult your means, avoid the tempter’s wiles 
Shun grinning hosts of urfreceipted files, 
Let heaven-ey’d prudence battle with desire, 
And win the victory, though it be through fire. 
jJames y. Fields. 
None pities him that’s in the snare, 
And, warn’d before, would not beware. 
JIerrick.
