HOAELY WoMRN.-We like hsmely women
We have always liked them. We'd not carry
the popularity enough to inc lude the hideous
or pOsitiv ely ugly, for since be. auty and money
are the only capital the world will recognize
in women, they are more to be ? tiled than ad-
mired but we have a chivalric, enthusiastic
regard for p lain women. We nese saw one
who was not modest, unassuming, and sweet
tempered, a. I'D have seldom come across one
who was not virtuous, and had not good
heart. Made aware early in their life Of their
want of besut y by the slighted attention Of
the opposite Sc <, vanity and affectastiOn meyer
take root in Il ,eir hearts; and in th hope Of
supplying attra ctions which a capric iOus na-
ture has denied they cultivate the gr aces Of
the heart inste, I'd of the person, and give TO
the mind those accomplishments which the
world SO rarely appreciates in women, but
which are more lasting and in the eyes Of
Iaen of sense, more highly priEed than per-
sonal beauty. See them in the street, at home
or in the church, ssRd they are always the
same, and the smile which ever lives upon tie
face is not forced thGre TO fssciuate, but is the
spontaneous sunshine rejected from kind
hsart-a flower which takes root In the ssul,
and blooms upon the lips, inspiring respect
instead of passion, emotion or admiration in
stead Of feelings Of sensual regard. Plain
women make good wives, good mothers, cheer
full homes and happy hus bands, and We never
SEQ one, but we thank heaven ii has kindly
created women of sense as we'll as beauty
for it is, indeed, seldom q ftmale is found pos
sessing both. To homely women We therefore
lift our " tile" in respect; the world will ex-
tend the same courtesy to beauty

thirty three miles, the longest being three
miles. The longest tsnpel known is the Su.

all sense Of privacy or retirement; if in trou-

Bayard Taylor as existing among the Japan

entirely careless servants obliged to keep

few of the pleasures Of bOacding out, which SO
many choose 10 preference to home"

for the cure Of small pox, scarlatins, ard the
measles has been communicated by member
of the Royal College Of Surgeons, London.
II is reported to have been tested with inva-
liable success in innumersble instances, and
tba reoeipt is as follows: Take one grain of
BOW dered foxglove or digitalis-yaluable in
the ratio of its greenness- and the same
quantity of sulphate of aino or white vitriol;
rub thoroughly in a mortar with few drops
of water; add four ounces IF water, and a
little sugar. Of this mixture table spoon
ful should be given to al adult, and two tea
spoonsful to child, every second hour until
symptoms of disease vanish. The herb an
initiates the fever, and the zinc acts as u
tonic.
