sA PERFECT WIFE-Edmund Burke, the
distinguished orator, presented to his wife
nn the anniversary of their marriage, his
idea Of "perfect wife," which is supposed
10 be true portrait of Mrs. Burke. It is
alovely picture, worthy of the pen of the
author Of s'The Essay on the Sublime and
Beautiful The following passages are
extracts: ..z
She is hansome. but it is beauty rot ari-
sing from features, from complexion or from
shape. She has all three in high degree,
but il is not by these that she touches a
heart; it is all that sweetness of temper,
benevofence, innocence, and sensibility;
which a face can express, that forms her
beauty. She has face that just raises
your attention at first sight; it grows on
ron every moment and you wonder it did
not more than raise Your attention at first.
Her eyes have mild light. but they awe
when she pleases they command like a
! good man out Of office, not BY authority, but
by virtue
Her statue is not tall, she is not made TO
y the admiration of everybody, but the
happiness of one.
II. She has all the frmness that does not ex-
Glide delicacy-she has all the softness
!that does not imply weakness
Her voice is soft. low music, not formed
{ fnle in public assemblies, but to charm
