REEDS .—Musical Voice. 
Her voice is like the warble of a bird. 
So soft, so sweet, so delicately clear, 
That finer, simpler music ne’er was heard; 
The sort of sound we echo with a tear, 
Without knowing why, - an overpowering tone 
Whose melody descends, as from a throne. 
Oh, that I were 
The viewless spirit of a lovely sound, 
Born and expiring with the blest tone that made me! 
Byron.

MOUSE-EAR CHICKWEED. - Simplicity. 
Sweet are her eyes as the fairy flax, 
Her cheeks like the dawn of day, 
And her bosom white as the hawthorn buds, 
That ope in the month of May! 
Longfellow.
