The Rose.


Not long since was introduced to young lady
of pleasing manners quite graceful in conversation
and apparently of ordinary accomplishments.
Her friend by whom she was introduced, appeared
to appreciate the worth OF so valued friend, and
beguiled the moments with many endearing ex-
pressions; and my short interview with The two
friends passed very pleasantly. A short time atler,
| received beautiful rose from the young lady
with whom had this brief interview, token Of
her kind remembrance OF our short acquaintance.
This | carefully laid aside emblem Of the
loveliness and beauty of youth.


have since learned that this lovely creature had
formed an acquaintance wiki gay and fashionable
dandy. whose beauty and pleasing address furnish
a ready passport into parties OF pleasurei and many
u heart has cause tC bleed IN consequence o his
sordid and centious principles.


Her father. on hearing the character OF her asso-
ciate, and fearing the consequences OF farther lnt
macy dismissed this libertine, without ceremony,
from his house. The daughter, unused 10 parental
control, sought candestine opportunities TO meet
her gay deceiver, and thus not only stained her
own character with infamy for ever, but brought
down the gray hairs of her parents with sorrow 10
the grave.


While contemplating these atictins occurrences,
| sought the rose that ! might again reflect upon
youth beauty and innocence but, what contrast
here met my view. The leaves and stem Of the
rose We're encircled in spiders web. while a huge
black spider had apparently consumed the leaves
of the blossom and partly imbcdded In the bulb
of the flower which he had so wantony deprived
of all lis loyeness Here was, indeed, an emblem
hot of oveness aud beauty; but OF the destroyer
{ of innocence, virtue. and happiness Poor girl!
/ thought l. the loa,hsomc reptile who has encrcled
you in q shroud OF nlamy, destroyed your lowell
ness. and fixed his deadly tangs deep in your heart
is still, the more unsatisfcd still going on from con-
quest 10 conquer. The lovely, the unsuspecting,
and the beautiful may well trenbe al his approach,
for it is their destruction in which he takes lend
ish delight. {.
