HoMELY WoMEN.-We like homely women. We have always liked them We do not carry the peculiarty far enough to include the hide ous or positive ugly, for since beauty and money are the only capital the world will recognize in women, they are more to be pitied than ad- hired but we have chivalric, enthusiastic re- gard for plain women. We never saw one who was not modest unassuming and sweet tempered, and have seldom come across one who was not virtuous and had not good heart. Made aware early in life of their want of beauty by the sighted attentions of the opposite sex, vanity and affectation never take root in their hearts and in the hope of supplying attrac- tions which capricious nature has denied, they cultivate the graces of the heart instead of the person, and give to the mind those accomplish ments which the world SO rarely appreciates in woman, but which are more lasting, and in the eyes of men of sense, more highly prized than personal beauty See them in the street, at home or in the church, and they are always the came, the smile which ever lives upon the face is not forced there to fascinate but is the spon- taneous sunshine reflected from . kind heart--a flower which takes root in the soul and blooms upon the lips. inspiring respect instead of pas sion. emotions of admiration instead of feeliugs of sensual regard Plain women make good wives, good mothers, cheerful homes and hap py husbands, and We never see one but we thank heaven that it has kindly created wo- men of sense as well as beauty for it is, ia- decd, seldom female is found possessing both. To homely women we, therefore, lift our tile' in respect the world will extend the same courtesy to beauty.

The Philosophy of snsezing.

sneeze always indicates that there is some thing wrony. It does not occur in health, un- less some foreign agent irritates the membranes of the nasal passages. upon which the nervous flaments are distributed In ease of cold, or what is termed influenza, these are unduiy ex- citably, and hence the repeated sneezing when then occurs. The nose receives three sets ot neryes-th nerves of smell, those of ieeilng,
 those of motion. The former communicate to
 the brain the odorous properties of sunstances
 with which they come into contact, ID ulnuseo or concentrated state the second communicate the impressions of touch the third move the
 muscles of the nose, hut the power of these
 muscles is very limited. When a sneeze occurs
 all these faculties are excited in high degree.
 A grain of snuff exeites the olfactory nervess
 which dispatch to the brain the intelligence
 that 1" snuff has attacked the nostril in The
 brain instantly sends mandate through the
 nerves of motion to the muscles, saying, " cast it t,out r and the result is unmistakable. So offensive is the enemy besieging the nostril held to be, that the nose is not left to it's own dc- fence. It were too feeble to accomplish this.---
 An allied army of muscles join in the rescue.
 nearly one-half of the body arouses against the intruder from the muscles of the lips to those
 of the abdomen, all unite in the effort for tho expulsion of the grain of snuff. During this
 operation the lung becomes fully inflated, the
 abdominal organs are pressed downwards, and
 the veil of the pelate drops down to form bar. l rier to the escape of air through the mouth,
 and now all the muscles, which have relaxed for
 the purpose contract simultaneously, and force
 the compressed air from the lungs in torrent
 out through the nasal passages, with the benev-
 olent determination to sweep away the particle
 of snuff, which has been causing irritation there in, Such, then, is the complicated action of
 sneeze and if the first effort does not succeed.
 then follows second, third, and fourth
 and not until victory is achieved, do the army
 of defenders dissolve their compact and settle
 down into the enjoyment of peace and quietude.
