lady's waist never appears lovlier to US than when
it is broad ard large; good armful. Your corn.
stalk figures are hardly palpable-to embrace them
is analogous to huggng knitting needle. When
a lady's bosom is compressed with chords and can
vass, how can the heart throb and diate with gen.
erous emotions! How such bosom feel friend
ship or sympathy or love! A large waist is, gen.
orally speaking, sign of loving and loveable quail
tiles. The rationale of the thing is rs plain as
sunshine small waist is the indication of small
heart, and a small heart will seldom be found to
contain those noble and expansive sentiments which
constitute the essence of all female loveliness.-
Therefore, girls, if you wish to be beloved, do not
screw and compress your gentlej bosoms. Do not
bind the sweet emotions of your hearts in ropes Of
hempen rigidity. Do not choke up the fOu ntans OF
feeling and sentiment with bits of hard canvass nd
stakes of stubborn whalebone. No, ladies', do no.

fellow who admres female in state of excrucia-

pose upon her an undeserved pennance-such a
foolish fellow we say, and his good opinion are not
worth thought. Men eff good sense like large
caist in wife, but very little OaSte in the family.

practice Of doing so, nevertheless tcastefUl and

Its actual diameter must then be more than $4,000
miles, or times the diameter ofthe EARTH SuppOs-
ing the sun to be fifteen inches in diameter, as it
appears to many persons the spot would be about l
inch in BREADTH size sufficient to be quite visible
the naked eye by means of smoked glass. There
are almost always spots visible by means of tele
scope. They consist mostly of dark CENTRE

sentation of small island surrounded b. the usual

so close that the shadngs run together.-This

crea sed diminished, or possibly obliterated.

Charles renewed again the boysh vows he had

Oh sigh not for the fair young bride,
Gone in her opening bloom.
Far from her kindred, loved and tried,
To glad another home;
Already are the gay brief days
or girish triumph done,
And tranquil happiness repays
The early wood and won.
Fear shall invade her peace no more,
Nor sorrow wound the breast;
Her passing rivalries are DER.
Her passing doubts at rest;
The glittering haunts of worldly state
Love whispers her to shun,
Since scenes of purer bliss await
The early wood and won.
Here is young and guileless heart,
Confiding, fond and warm,
Unsullied by the worlds vain mart,
Unscatched by passions storm;
In "hope deferred" she hath not pined,
Till Hopes sweet course was run:
No chains of sad remembrance bind
The early wood and won.
Her smiles and songs have ceased to grace
The halls of festal mirth,
Bat woman's safest dwelling-place
Isby true ones hearth;
Her hour of duty, joy and love.
In brightness have begun:
Peace be her portion from Above,
