FEMALE BEAUTY,

Those who are accustomed TO enlightened views
OF female beauty, well know that there are different
kinds OF personal beauty, among which that of form
and colorng hold very inferior rank There is n
beauty OF expression for instance of sweetness of
nobility, of intellectual refinement of FEELING of an
ima'ioI, OF meekness, of resignation, and many
other kinds of beauty, which may be allied to the
Piaihest features, and yet may remain give plea
sure long alter the blooming cheek has faded and
the silvery gray has mingled with the hair And
how far more powerful in their influence upon o.
thers, are some of those kinds of beauty For
inter all, beauty depends more upon the movements
OF the face than upon the form of the features when a
rest; and thus countenance habituay under the
influence of amabie feelings, acquires beauty of
'he highest order, from the frequency with which
such feelings are the originating cause of the move
mcnts or expressions which stamp their character
upon it.
Who has not waited for the first opening OF the
lips OF celebrated belle, to whether her claims
would be supported by the mind, the music breath
Ing Of her face; and who has not occasionally turn
ed away, repealed by the utter blank, or worse than
blank, which the simple.movement of the mouth
IN speaking or smiling has revealed The Ian
guage of poetry describes the loud laueh as indica
tive of vulgar mind and certainly there are ex-
presslons, conveyed through the medHm of a smile.
which need no Lavatcr TO inform us that refinement
OF feeling or elevation of soul has little to do with
the fair countenance on which they are impressed
On the other hand, there are plain women some
umes met In society, every movement of whose fea
lures is instinct with intelligence; who from the
genuine heart-warm smiles, which play about the
mouth, the sweetly modulated voice, and the light
ing up OF the eye, that looks as if it could '.com-
prehend the universe" becomes perfectly beautiful
TO those who live with them and love them. Be
lore such pTeensons as these, how soon do the pink
and white of merely pretty face vanish into moth
ing!

THE RULE OF STREET WALKING

The Springfield Republican calls attention to
the following rule, which should be strictly OBJ
served by all, that every gentleman and every lady
Is expected to pass on the right hand Another
matter connected with this should be observed bv
all who walk with ladies' 1t is TO place the lady
On your right, and in Offering your ann lett always
DO the right. In this way, and by observing the
first all-important rule, all who pass will 90 by on
the gentleman side, and thus avoid all contact Of
strangers with your companion. The practice of
changing sides with the lady at every corner, 50 as
to give her the wall, is ridiculous and awkward in

POETRY.
OCTOBER,

OCTOBER.
LIS GAYLORD CLARK.
Solemn, ystbeautiful to view,
Month of my heart thou dawncst here,
With sad and faded leaves to strew.
The Summers melancholy bier.
The moaning of thy winds hear.
As the red sunset dies afar,
And bars of purple clouds appear,
Obscuring every western star.
Thou solemn month hear thy voice;
1t tells my soul of other days,
When but to live was to rejoice,
When earth was lovely to my gaze!
Oh. visions brighton, blessed hours,
Where are their living raptures nows
ask my spirits wearied powers
ask my pale and fcvercd browi
look TO Nature, and behold
My lfc's dim emblcms rustling round,
In hues of crimson and Of gold
The years dead honors the ground
And, signing with the winds, feel,
While their low pinions murmur by,
How much their sweeping tones reveal
Of life aud human destiny.
They came in zcphyrs from the west;
They bore the WOODLANDS melting tone,
They stirred the blue lakes CLASSY breast;
Through Summer, fanting in the heat
They fingered in the forest shade;
But changed and strengthened now, they beat
In storm DER mountain, glen aud glade.
How like those transports of the breast
When life is fresh and JOY is new
Soft as the haley on's downy nest,
And transient all as they arc true
They stir the leaves in that bright wreath
Which Hope about her forehead twincs,
Till G-icf's hot signs around il breathe,
Then Pleasures lip its smile resigns
Alas, for Time, and Death, and Care,
What gloom about our way they fling
Like clouds in autumn's gusty air,
The burial pageant Of the Spring
The dreams that each successive year
Seemed bathcd in hues Of brighter pride,
AT last like withered leaves appear,
And sleep in darkness, side by side
