HOYT'S NEW CYCLOPEDIA OF PRACTICAL QUOTATIONS

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.

JUNE
Do you recall that night in June

Upon the Danube River;
We listened to the ländler-tune,

We watched the moonbeams quiver.
CHARLES A. AIDÉ-Danube River.

2
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.

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.
BUTLER—Hudibras. Canto II. Pt. I. L.

1177.

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.

LOWELL—The Vision of Sir Launfol.
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.

7 It is the month of June,

The month of leaves and roses,
When pleasant sights salute the eyes

And pleasant scents the noses.
N. P. WILLIS—The Month of June.
