Man loves the mysterious. A cloud
less sky and the full blown rose leave
him unmoved; but the violet which
hides its blushing beauties behind the
bush, and the moon when emerging
from behind cloud, are to him sources
of inspiration and of pleasure. Mod
esty is to merit what shade is to figure
In painting-it gives boldness and prom
inence. Nothing adds more to female
beauty than modesty. 1t sheds around
the countenance a halo of light which
is borrowed from virtue. Botanists
have given the rosy hue which tinges
the cup of the white roses the name of
"maiden blush" This pure and deli
cate hue is the only paint Christian
virtue should use. 1t is the richest or
nament. A woman without modesty is
like faded flower diffusing an unwhole-
some odor, which the prudent gardener
will throw from him. Her destiny is
melancholy, for it terminates in shame
and repentance. Beauty passes like
the flowers of the albe, which bloom
and die in a few hours; but modesty
give the female charms whicn supply
the place of transitory freshness of
youth.
