GROW BEAUTIFUL.-Age dims the lus-
tire of the eye. and pales the roses on beau
tvs cheek while crowsseet and burrows,
and wrinkles, and lost teeth and grey
hairs, and bald head, and tottering limbs,
and limping feet, most sadly mar the hui
man form divine. But dim as the eye is,
pallid and sunken as may be the face of
beauty, and frail and feeble that once
strong, erect and manly body, the immor-
tai soul, just Hedging its wings for its
home in heaven, may look out through
these faded windows, as beautiful as the
dew drops Of a summers morning, as melt
ing as the tear that glistens in elections
eve by growing kindly. nv culCivatinp
