Asd hero we must clone; and that too without

beautiful, and other ladies as fair, and other gen.

on their checks in heavenly smiles; it laughs in
the dimples Of ch.a; it besms in the cloudies,
heaven Of their eyes it throbs in the emotions Of
their glowing bo.oms; and mingles With the
moral gracos OF their stalnlcss llFes.
