By Mrs. Anna N. Irwin<\/p>\n

Her complexion is of an almost transparent delicacy; and its lovely roseate tint accords well with the intelligent tone of her features, which are cast in the finest mould of grecian symmetry. \u00a0A benignant smile plays round her lips; and her laughing lambent eyes are the softest liquid blue. The rose of health in young and dewy freshness blooms upon her cheek; and from her eye the spirit of each thought looks out in undisguised expression; and diffuses its own pure loveliness.<\/p>\n

Blest is he who wins her love,
\nAnd sips its gentle sweets;
\nHe need not life’s oppressive gloom,
\nNor all the cares he meets.<\/p>\n
