SIMPLICITY AND BEAUTY. 

 The Rose is fairest when 't is budding new. 



SENTIMENT. 



New England's daughters need not envy those 

 Who in a monarch's court their jewels wear: 

 More lovely they, when but a simple rose 

 Glows through the golden clusters of their hair. 

 Could light of diamonds make her look more fair, 

 Who moves in beauty through the mazy dance, 

 With buoyant feet that seem to skim the air, 

 And eyes that whisper in each gentle glance 

 The poetry of youth, love's sweet and short romance? 



Mrs. Little. 



ANSWER. 



Beauty and Love their emblems are flowers! 

 Their date of existence is numbered by hours. 



Mr*. Hal*.
