BACHELOR’S BUTTON. — Single Wretchedness. 
Alone, alone, all, all alone! 
Alone on a wide, wide sea!

I Would be wedded to a single life.

CALLA. — Magnificent Beauty. 
0 rubicund rose, and white as the lily! 
0 clarified crystal of worldly portraiture! 
0 courfin figure resplendent with glory'. 
0 Gem of Beautee! 0 carbuncle shining pure! 
Your fairness excecdeth the craft of Dame Nature!

GRASS. — Usefulness. 
Cheerfully of thine abundance, 
To the sick and poor impart; 
And lift up the weight of sorrow 
From the crushed and burthened heart. 
T. B. Thayer.
