BEAUTY IS VAIN.

Let me tell you, my fair reader, in the
language Of the text, that beauty is vain
to reform the heart, vain 10 cultivate the
understanding, vain in fixing the affec-
tons on objects worthy an immortal soul,
A beautiful countenance may conceal the
most inordnate sel6shness and vanity,
and the features Of an angel may express
the passions Of liend. Beauty is vain
in securing the respect Of those whose O.
pinions are worth anything, ignorance,
cold hearted sel6shness, and irnpiety;
though they aatter whils ID the sunshine
OF beauty, they will beware how they
are scorched in its blaze. Beauty, IL il
be only accompanied by the decorations
Of dress and extravagance Of fashion, will
never secure the affections much less the
respect Of those whose esteem 10 worth
possessing II is not alone in the sight q
God that The ornament Of meek anc
quiet spirit is Of great price.
