Democratic Sentinel, Volume 11, Number 16, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 May 1887 — Blushes. [ARTICLE]

Blushes.

Blushing is a disease. No one blushes far shame. While the woman of the world may wear cheeks of marble, the innocent country lass is made red by being looked at. The perjurer tells his story without a change of color; the honest witness is flushed and confused by the lawyer who is hired to suppress truth in courts of justice. Countless roses are said to blush unseen. They are very foolish. Politicians never blush, but they grow red in the face over the spirit of the campaign, and claim modesty as an inheritance.—New Orleans Pi ayune.
