June was so named from Juno, one
of the tabled soddesses Of the heather:
1t was called by our forefathcrs in Brit
ain Weydmonath, or meadow-mouth,
when the cattle did weJd or feed in the
meadows; also Seremona.h, or dry
month.
The 2lst of this month is tho longest
Jay in the year. In London, it extends
to about 16 hours "a minutes; in Dublin
l6 hours 81 minutes; in Elinbugh, II
hours 32 minutes; and in the most
northern Of the Shetland Islands. il is
18 hours 35 minutes. During tho
greater part Of June, there is no real
night; the twilight is from sunset to
sunrise; this period is therefore truly
called Midsummer, or the middle Of
tho summer. Midsummer Day always
falls on the 2lst of June.
In the early part ofthis month, every
tree and shrub puts forth It's brightest
green. Hence the poets have called it
"leafy June j." 1t is time Of sunshine
and flowers, Of beauty and melody. The
field arc in full blossom with clover,
and oow is the season Of hay harvest.
