JUNE
Do you recall that night in June
Upon the Danube River;
We listened to the landler-tune,
We watched the moonbeams quiver.
I gazed upon the glorious sky
And the green mountains round,.
And thought that when I came to lie
At rest within the ground,
'Twere pleasant, that in flowery June,
When brooks send up a cheerful tune,
And groves a joyous sound,
The sexton's hand, my grave to make,
The rich, green mountain-turf should break.
Bryant—June.
What joy have I in June's return?
My feet are parched—my eyeballs burn,
I scent no flowery gust;
But faint the flagging Zephyr springs,
With dry Macadam on its wings,
And turns me "dust to dust."
Hood—Town and Country. Ode Imitated from
Horace.
June falls asleep upon her bier of flowers;
In vain are dewdrops sprinkled o'er her,
In vain would fond winds fan her back to life,
Her hours are numbered on the floral dial.
Lucy Larcom—Death of June. L. 1.
And what is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days;
Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune,
And over it softly her warm ear lays.
So sweet, so sweet the roses in their blowing,
So sweet the daffodils, so fair to see;
So blithe and gay the humming-bird a-going
From flower to flower, a-hunting with the bee.
Nora Perry—In June.
It is the month of June,
The month of leaves and rosea,
When pleasant sights salute the eyes
And pleasant scents the noses.
N. P. Willis—The Month of June.

JUSTICE
Justice discards party, friendship, kindred,
and is therefore always represented as blind.
There is no virtue so truly great and godlike as justice.
Justice is that virtue of the soul which is distributive according to desert.
Aristotle—Metaphysics. On the Virtues and Vices. Justice.
God's justice, tardy though it prove perchance,
Rests never on the track until it reach
Delinquency.
Robert Browning—Ceuciaja.

| text = Justice is itself the great standing policy of
civil society; and any eminent departure from it, under any circumstances, lies under the suspicion of being no policy at all.
Burke—Reflections on the Revolution in France.
It looks to me to be narrow and pedantic to
apply the ordinary ideas of criminal justice to
this great public contest. _ I do not know the
method of drawing up an indictment against a
whole people.
Burke—Speech on Conciliation with America.
Works. Vol. II. P. 136.
So justice while she winks at crimes,
Stumbles on innocence sometimes.
