MODESTY.
By E. J ADAMS.


There are some flowers which most do love,
And soonest without hight decay,
Which yet do fold their petals up,
To shut the friendly beams away.
And shutting all thsie fragrance in
Their beauties hiding from the light,
Turn from the haughtier eye of day,
To open in the silent night.
Their sweetest perfumes to give out,
Their rarest beauties to unfold,
When but the quiet stars look down,
Or but the favored few behold;
Who know, and well have learned to love.
The riches that lie folded up,
And turn, amidst the evening shades,
To breath the incense of their cup.
So. she, that fair young friend of mine,
Though loving all. shrinks from the gaz
OF many eyes and turns aside.
To walk. unseen. h,r quiet ways.
She does not shine amidst the gay,
Her voice is silent in the song,
Nor is she skilled in arts to move,
But stands unnotieed midst the thrOng.
Yet there is not amidst the gay,
The high born beauties at her side,
A prouier soul. or nobler heart,
Than do those modest bushes hide;
But in the light of love and home,
Her spirit only may untold,
And those who know and love. alone
Its priceless treasures may behold

him. One of these incidents is worth
relating. When young man, about
19years of age, Judge Trumbull came
