of angelic deeds, the noblesr Offering that she
can make through the ever-ascending and ex-

Every word that she utters, goes from heart to

Beauty and the Beast.

Not many years since a clever writer, whose
name we do notrememher now, wrote a chap
ter under the title of 'Beauty and the Beast, "
a readable thing, by the way, and made quite
an impression Oh our mind at the time, but
which had been forgotten until a similar case
occurred in the marriage OF Stephen Arnold
Douglas to charming belle OF Washington
City, The press have been vieing with each
other in describing the beauty, loveliness, fine
form, queenly bearing, noble blood, &c of this
lady, and it is but wonderful that woman of SO
many charms should unite herself to a man who
is in every respect her reverse. Douglas per-
sonally has no charms; and politically, he is
one of the most, sordid, groveling, dishonest
tricksters in the whole land; and, Judging from
his career of the last few years, there is not a
trait in his character that would excite in the
mind Of any man of correct taste, aught but
disgust and loathing, and if his personal quail
ties car, become debased by II corrupt mind, the
idea Of a lovely young woman, not half his
own age, joining with him her destin'es, say
nothing of unity of affection, is one to excite
some surprise. As to ourself, we cannot resist
the impression previously received, of the
'.heauty and the beast" 4asn tg .s..fe .. rss5
