women are remarkable for the natural ds.

strikingly with their tall and commanding

oval, with the slightly squiline nose. large
flashing eyes, and curved lips.
Their complications are peculiarly trans

studies.

Studies serve for delight, for ornament,
and for privateness and retiring; for orna-
ment, is for discourse; and for ability, is in
the judgment and disposition Of business; for
expert men can execute, and perhaps Judge
OF particulars one by one; but the general
counsels, and the plots and marshaling OF
affairs come best from those that are learn
ed. To spend too much time in studies, is
sloth; to use them too much for ornament
is afectation; to make judgment wholly by
their rules, is the within OF scholar; they
perfect nature and are perfected by expert
ence for natural abilities are like natural
plants, that need pruning by study; and
studies themselves do give forth directions
too much at large, except they be bounded
in by experience. Crafty men contemn
studies, simple men admire them; for they
teach not their own use; but that is wis
dom, without them and above them, won
by observation. Read not to contradict and
confute, nor to believe and take for granted,
nor to talk and discourse, but TO weigh and
consider. Some books are to be tasted,
others are to be swallowed. and some few
to be chewed and digested; that is, some
books are to be read only in parts; others TO
be read, but not curiously; and some few to
be read wholly and with diligence and at
tention. Some books, also. may be read
by deputy, and extracts made of them by
Others; but that would be only in the less
imperfect arguments, and the meaner sort
OF books, are like common distilled waters,
iashy things. Reading maketh full man;
conference ready man; and writing an
exact man; and. therefore, if man write
little, he had need have great memory; If
he confer little he had need have present
wit; and If he read little, be had need have
much cunning, to seem to know that he
doth not. History makes men wise; poets,
witty, the mathematics, subtle; natural phi
losophy, deep, moral, grave; logic and rhet
oric, able to contend; 'Abeunt studia in
morris, Studies become habits) nay, there
is no stand or impeachment in the wit, but
may be wrought out by fit studies; like a
disease Of the body may have appropriate
exercises bowling is good for the stone and
veins, shooting for the lungs and breast;
gentle walking for the stomach; riding for
the head and the like; so if mans wit be
wandering, let him study the mathematics;
for in demonstrations, il his wit be called
away never so little, he must begin again:
if his wit be not apt TO distinguish, or find
differences let him study the Sclloolmen; if
he be not ap, to beat over matters, and 10
call up one thing to prove and illustrate
another, let him study the lawyers cases.
So every defect Of the mind may have a
special receipt.-Baoon's Essays.

ADJUSTING the Mouth.

portant information for The ladies, with re-
gard to the manner Of placing their lips
when they desire to look amiable. digni6ed,
&c. 1t says that if lady would compose
her month to a bland and serene character,
she should, Just before entering the room,
say Bosom, and keep the expression into
which the mouth subsidies until the desired
effect upon the company is evident. II, on
the other hand. she wishes to assume dis
tinguished and somewhat noble bearing,
not suggestive Of sweetness, she should say
Brush, the result of which is infalIible.-
II she would make her mouth small and
pretty, she must say Flip, but if the mouth
be already small and needs enlarging she
must say Cabbage. Ladies, when having
their daguerreotypes taken. may observe
these rules with some advantage.

The beacon.

In the dull gray Of morning,
When but single star
Threw Ger the heaving waters
Its radiance from afar,
The winds had sunk to stiffness,
The waves played low and soft,
When "Beaccn dead TO windward"
Was sung out from aloft.
Like Hopes inspiring banner
To Sorrows eye unfurl'd;
Like the lightning fash Of freedom
To long enslaved world;
Like n single gem that brightly
In Beauty's bosom CLOVIS,
In the dull gray Of morning
That ocean star arose.
Its fellow-star of heaven
Was speeding to tho west,
Another cline TO hallow,
And smile upon its rest.
DINNER II grew, and DINNER,
As purple tinged the gray,
Till in the flashing sunlight
Its glory pass'd away.
We heard the lonely beacon;
Its lamp was turning pale,
Its lamp Of hope and mercy
To the seaman in the gale.
And lPrayed on 1t a blessing
OF Him who rules the land
And holds the mighty ocean
In the hollow Of His hand.
