PAPERS AND Books.-W. G. Bryant,
the American. poet, speaking of newspa-
pers, said :-"Bsoks are the precious
metals in masses newspapers coin them
for general use, put them into the most
convenient forms, and pass them from
hand to hand" HNewspapers,n he said,
sare the ushers of books. Who would
know when book is published but for
the friendly information Of the newspa-
per-" He added, "that he had been
sometimes tempted to regret that the wise,
witty or eloquent things which appeared
in these folios of four pages as they
were called by Cowper, should not be in
scribed on more durable tablets, instead
of going, the next morning to wrap par
cells or light kitchen fires but he was
fully satisfied with their fate, whom he re-
fected that they had been read by thou
sands, and whatever was good in them
had passed into the general mind.n

HIGH FoREHEADs.--The notion that high
ioreheads, III women as well as in men, are in.
dispensable to beauty, came into vogue with
phrenology, and is going out with the decline
OF that pretentious and plausible science. Not
long ago, more than one fine LADY, shaved
her head to give it an intellectual appearance,
and the custom of combiug the hair back
from the forehead probably originated in the
same mistaken ambition. When it is consd-
cred that a great expanse Of forehead gives a
bold, masculine look--that from frons fore
head) comes the word effrontery"--it will
not be wondered that the ancient painters.
sculptors, and poets, considered low forehead
q charming thing in women, and, indeed, in
dispensable to female beauty. Horace praises
Lycoris for her low forehead (tenuis fons) and
Martial commends the same grace as decidedly
as he praises the arched eyebrow. The artists
in stone and pigments know very well that
modesty and gentleness could not be to consist
with tall heads or extremely broad ones; and,
accordingly, without single notable excep.
ton, their women zunlcss made on purpose to
represent shrews and the coarser class of cyp.
rians, have low foreheads. But pature. a
higher authority has distinguished the fairest
of the sex in the same way; and foolishly per.
verse are they who would make themselves
anew in The hope of Improvement

A Picture.
BY CHARLES G. EASTMAN.
The farmer sat in his easy chair,
Smoking his pipe of clay,
While his hale old wife with busy care
Was clearing the dinner away
A sweet little child with fine blue eyes,
On her grandfathsr's knee was catching flies.
The old man laid his hand on her head,
With a tear on his wrinkled face,
He thought how often her mother, dead,
Had sat in that selfsame place :.
As the tear stole down from his halfshut eve.
Don't smokel" said the child, how it make:
you cry" -
The house'dog lay, stretched out on the floor
Where the shade afternoon used to steal,
The busy old wife by the open door p.
Was turning the spinning wheel; 80
And the old brass clock on the mantletree
Had plodded along to almost three
Still the farmer sat in bis easy chair,
While close to his heaving breast
The moistened brow, and the cheek so fair,
OF his sweet grandchild were pressed;
His head, bent down, on her fair hair Iay,-
Fast asleep were they both, that summers day.

a fresh bullet hole in it.
