THE FLORAL GIFT. 93 
MIGNONETTE. 
Reseda Odorata ,—Class 11, Order 3. 
A very fragrant Annual from Egypt. 
MORAL AND MENTAL BEAUTY. 
Beauty consists not in the sparkling eye, 
The damask cheek and lip, or forehead high; 
Not in the graceful form, or glistening hair, 
Or melody of voice ! ah no ! not there. 
But in the soul, which every glance displays, 
Basking forever in affection’s rays,— 
Speaking in love’s soft tones, with sunlit 
smile, 
Which can an aching heart from wo beguile! 
It dwelleth there in majesty serene, 
Sweeter than music’s voice, or seraph’s 
dream.
