FEMALE BEAUTY-The charms that are
really indispensable to being beloved, may
be possessed by every one who is not per-
sonally, mentally or morally reformed. Let
US enumeTate them:
Firstly-an eye, whether black blue or
grey, that has the spirit Of kindness in its
expression. t
Secondly-A mouth that is able to say
good deal, and that sincerely--its teeth
as clean as possible; must be very good ma
tured to servants, and friends that com,
unexpectedly TO dinner.
A Thirdly--A figure that shall preserve
itself, not by neglecting any of its duties
but by good taste, exercise. and dislik,
to gross living. A woman may be fond O
almost any pleasure under the sun, excep
those Of tattling at the table, and ostenta
ton n fg 1n
Fourthly--The art OF being happy a
home, and making that home the abode o
peace. These qualities will sway the mind,
OF men, when the shallower perfection,
would cease TO charm. A good heart i,
