Purity Of Character,

Over the beauty of the plum and
apricot there grows a bloom and beauty
more exquisite than the fruit itself a
soft delicate flush that overspreads its
blushing cheek. Now if you strike
your hand over that, and it is once
gone, it is gone forever, for it never
grows but once. The flower that grows
in the morning, impaired with dew
arrayed with jewels-ence shake it, so
that the heads roll off, and you may
sprinkle water on it as you please, vet
it can never be made again as it was
when the dews fell lightly on it from
heaven. On frosty morning you may
see the panes of glass covered with
landscapes, mountains, lakes and trees,
blended into beautiful fantastic pic
ture Now lay your hands upon the
glass, and by the scratch Of your finger,
or by the warmth of your palm, all the
delicate tTacery viii be obliterated
So there is in youth a beauty and pur.
ity of character which when once touch
ed and detiled can never be restored ::
fringe more delicate than frostwork,
and which torn and broken can never
he re-embroidered. A man who has
spotted and soiled his garments in
youth, though he may seek to make
them white again, can never wholly do
it, even were he to wash them with his
tears. When young man leaves his
fathers house with the blessing of his
mothers tears still wet upon his fore
head, if he once loses that purity of
character it is loss that he can never
make whole again. Such is the conse.
quence of crime. Its effect can only
be eradicated. it can only be forgiven.
