FEMALE BEAUTY.

5f FEMALE BEAUTY
A young woman Of good figure and un-
pretending features moves through society
without attracting general notice. But
she will be very likely, if to the ordinary
qualifications, she add that of good sense,
to meet with one, at least, who will at once
recognize in her the virtues he would wish
to find in his wife, and when fairly sought,
he has no difficulty in judging between RI
vals-she gives herself up to one undisturb-
ed feeling of devotion in favor of him who
has thus chosen her from the mass. Bot
the young woman whose beauty is conspic-
uous, who hears it every where said that
she was tho belle of the party, whose hand
is engaged for every quadrlle and every
waltz Of the whole evening, soon loses all
power Of giving preference in her heart
to any one of her partners. She insensi-
bly, becomes coquette, an odious desig-
nation, which the less favored Of the sex
arc but TOO happy to have the opportunity
of adding to her name whenever it is mem
toned.
| AT length she discovers the folly Other
course, and repents Of it, and accepts of the
first offer that is made probably--and il
very many cases it certainly has been So
an offer from some person very much be-
meath her own situation and hopes, and
scarcely presentable in society. But, even
when she is most fortunate, when woman
of brilliant beauty, who has long been tho
subject Of admiration on account of her
beauty, has married the man Of her choice,
and every way worthy Of her preference,
she has still much to unlearn. and q great

prised 10 find, that when once married, her
hand is no longer courted in the ball room.
Her former admirers look upon her with
perfect indifference If not with chagrin, and
whenever she revisits the former theatre
of her successes, she seems de trGO--her
presence could be easily dispensed with
by every body. In such circumstances a
woman, governed by feelings Of pride,
would become discontinued, nlorose, etvi.
Gus, and miserable. But If she have spark
of good sense, she will not think OF shining
any where but al home. That now ought
to be the only scene Of her triumphs; there
alone she ought, and there alone she can
in fact, expect TO be successful. Instead
Of attempting to lay aside her charms, a.
matters now no longer Of any use 70 her
she should rather endeavor to improve
them, and she will find that they will be
more useful to her than ever. But while
she is careful of her person, she should be
equally attentive 10 her mind, and apply
her attention principally to rendering he'
home the abode Of peace and cheerfulness
Those two qualities would render cabin
