GOETHE was in company with mother

proved for something, blushed and burst

That crimson hue and those silvery tears
become her much better than any orna-
ment of gold or pearls that may be hung
on the neck Of any woman, those are
never seen disconnected with moral
purity. A full blown flower sprinkled
with purest hue, is not so beautiful as this
child blushing beneath her parents dis
pleasure, and shedding tears of sorrow
fer her fault. A blush is the sign
which nature hangs out to show where
chastity and honor dwell go. s.s
