THE EFFECTS OF CRIME.

Over the beauty of the plum and the april
cot, there grows a bloom and beauty moro
exquisite than the fruit itself; soft, delicate
blush that oyersprcads its blushing check
Now, if you strike your hand over that, and
it is once gone. it is gone forever for 1t new
or grows but once Take the flower that
hangs in the morning, impaired with dew,
arrayod as no Qucenly woman was ever ar
raycd in Jewels. Once shake 10, so that the
beads roll off. and you may sprinkle water
over il as carefully as you please, yet it can
never be made again what it was when the
dew fell silently upon it from heaven On a
frosty morning, you may see the panes of glass
covered with landscapes. mountains, lakes,
trees. blended i'm beautiful, fantastic picture.
Now lay your hand upon the glass, and by
the scratch of your finger, or by the warmth
of your palm, all the delicate tracery will be
obliterated So there is in youth beauty
and purity of character, which, when once
touched and dcfled. can never be restored !;
a fringe more delicate than irost-work, and
which. when torn and broken, will never be
rc-cmbrodcrcd. A man who has spotted and
soilcd his garments in youth, though he may
seek % make them white again, can never
wholly do it. even were he 90 wash them with
his tcnrs. When a young man leaves his
fathers house, with the blessing Of his moth
cr's tcars still wet upon his forehead, if he
once loses that carly purity Of character, it is
loss that he can never make whole again.
Such is the consequence of crime It's effects
cannot be crodicatcd it can only be forgiven.
