JJanuarn 1. 
OAK GERANIUM. — True Friendship. 
Thou stand’st as stands a lovely tree, 
That will not break, though gently bent; 
Still waves with fond fidelity 
Its boughs above a monument. 
The winds may rend, the skies may pour, 
But there thou art, and there wilt be, 
Devoted in the stormiest hour, 
To shed thy weeping leaves o'er me. Byron. 
Jannani 2. 
MULTIFLORA ROSE. — Grace. 
Behold this sweet maid in her careless play, 
Laughing the hours of youth away 1 
The red light sleeps on her sunny hair, 
And her voice sounds sweet in the silent air ; 
Around her brow, from summer bowers, 
Are blooming wreaths of beautiful flowers.
