ladies’ names. 23 
Signification . . Beautiful and Learned. 
Emblem Pomegranate Flower. 
Sentiment .... Mature and Beautiful. 
When sweet budding Spring and blooming Sum- 
mer have forever passed, not long does soft, fresh 
beauty linger on the cheek of Autumn ; yet, beauty 
of another kind, brilliant and deep and gorgeous, 
presents itself to our admiring gaze, and wins its 
way to our own inmost hearts. 
Thus she who spends the bright Spring and Sum- 
mer of existence, in gathering and treasuring with- 
in her expanding mind, the pure gems of wis- 
dom, — will in Autumn prove wisely beautiful. 
Such beauty fades not as fades the flowers, but 
grows more glorious and attractive as the Winter 
of age approaches ; then when freed from earth’s 
enfoldings, it blooms forever fadeless in immortal 
gardens.
