AUGUST 7 
Oats ...... Country life . 
O how canst thou renounce the boundless store 
Of charms which nature to her votary yields; 
The warbling woodland, the resounding shore, 
The pomp of groves, and garniture of fields. 
J3eattie. 
Oleander 
AUGUST 8 
. Beware . 
Let no man know thy business save some friend, 
A man of mind. 
J3ailey. 
Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot 
That it doth singe yourself. 
(Shakespeare. 
AUGUST 9 
Oleaster ..... Providence. 
There, when the tangled web is all explained, 
Wrong suffered, pain inflicted, grief disdained, 
Man’s proud, mistaken judgments and false scorn, 
Shall melt like mists before the uprising morn, 
And holy truth stand forth serenely bright, 
In the rich flood of God’s eternal light. 
Mrs. Norton.
