 WHAT CONSTITUTES BELLE2
 Genius, however brilliant; nor riches, however abundant; nor beauty, however exquisite !; nor intelligence, however pro- found; nor sentiment, however toOching; nor all combined, do not necessarily give decided popularity to lady. It is a cer- tain tact-a peculiar manner--a .ie ne s0is q"oi. that confers tho power of winning ad- n,iration. But it requires at least, we are told, cleverness and knowledge of hus man nature and yet several of the most popular females that have eyer known, were far iron, being remarkable for these qualities. have been sometimes tempted to believe it gift peculiar to certain ladies, corresponding with the power of fascinat- ing birds, which naturalists tell us belong only to tha. enemy of my sex--,he serpent.
 One of the greatest favoritcs among the gentlemen of her acquaintance, that have ever known, is Miss -; know her in- tinlately, aud think cannot be mistaken in sketching her attributes. She has but little personal pretence--a limited fortune and face that would have been called homely but pair of redecmingly eloquent blue eyes. cannot claim for her any great strength of intellect, nor any pros found attainments; for she glided from flower to flower, in the garden of knowl- edge, slipping superficially here little and there little. Her manners are simpfe- her feelings buoyant--her conversation smooth, pleasant and dniTpassioned, qui- e,ly flowing on like gentle brook. Thus far Miss - exhibited no endowments of mind or person that are not common to a majority of well educated young ladies; ] and yet she has more popularity--is more courted, and wins more enthusiastic admir- alton from large circle of intelligent gen- .lemen-both married and single-than any other lady with whom have ever been acquainted. I love Miss = too ardent ly to be cnvious of her uncommon popu- larity but feel desirous of ascertaing the source of this magical power, by means of which she sways the hearts and turns the heads of so many. consequently have studied her character closely, and have ul- timately, I think, solved the puzzle.--- Whenever she enters into conversation---- particularly with a gentleman-she throws (if the expression may be allowed,) her whole soul into it. For the time being her undivided and most earnest attention is be- slowed upon him {; she turns her beaming eyes neither to the right or left; she ob- serves nothing that is passing around her f; neither addresses nor answers any one else, but in manner indicating the deepest and yet most delicate, and retiring interest, she comtrives to throw around her companions a fascination that is truly wonderful.
 I Itis the boast of some females, that they can carry on a conversation with half n dozen gentlemen at the same time. On tho contrary, Miss --- confines herself exclu- sively to one, and, without apparent art or effort, never fails to make that 0ne believe her surprisingly interesting. No gentle man, fancy, ever closed conversation with her withou, wishing tosrenewit; and yet, should he be suddenly questioned, lie would be strangely puzzled to tell why's. The whole secret, as l ap constrained to believe, of this extraordinary charm, consists simply in tl,e remarkable poUer of attention, which she gives to tie person with whom she is conversing.
 
 Enthusiusns. s.--Among the numerous sources and objects of enthusiasm, how seldom is virtue to be found. Men be- come martyrs to an abstraction. or what they conceive principle; but do they ev- CT sacrifice any selfish qualification to the cause Of truth. justice. or general n,orals1 How seldom do we witness this ! How rare is the enthusiasm on this paint Until men learn to prostrate their passions and their selfish impulses at tho shrine of virs tue, all other enthusiasm is faHaticisn,. 2
