Homely Women.

We like homely women. We have
always liked them. We do not carry
the popularity far enough to include the
hideous or positively ugly, for since beau.
ty and money ore the only capital the
world will recognize in women they arc
more to be pitied than admired ; but we
have chivalric, enthusiastic regard 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 slightcd at
tentions oe the opposite sex, vanity and
affectation never take root in their
hearts and in the hope of supplying at
fractions which capricious nature has
denied, they cultivate the graces of the
heart instead Of the person, and give to
the mind those accomplishments which
tie world so rarely appreciate in women,
but which are more lasting, and 10 tho
eyes of men Of sense, more highly priced
than personal beauty. See then in the
street. at home, e,or in the church, aud they
are alwaysth the same, and the smile which
ever lives upon the face is not forced
there 10 fascinate, but is the spontane.
Gus sunshine reflected from kind heart
"A flower which takes root in the soul,
and blooms upon the lips, inspiring re.
spect instead Of passion, emotion or ad-
miration instead of feelings 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 it has kindly created
women Of fsense as we'll as beauty for it
is indeed seldom female is found pos.
sessing both. 10 homoly women we
thercfote lift our "titlc" in respect the
world will extend the same courtesy to
beauty.

INFLUENCE OF THE SMILE IN GIVING
BEAUTY oP ExPR EssIoN.-A beautiful
smile ia to the female couutenance what
the sunbeam is to tho landscape, 1t EN-.
bellishes an inferior face, and redeems an
ugly one. A smile, however, should not
become habitual, stupidity is the result !;
nor should the mouth break into smile
on one side, the other remaining passive
and unmoved, for this imparts an air of
deceit aud grotesqueness to the face. A
disagreea5le smile distorts the lines of
beanty, and is more repulsivo than frowD.
There are many kinGs of smiles, each hav-
ing distinctive character-some an.
nounces goodness aud sweetness, others
betray sarcasm bitterness and pride. some
soften the countenance by their laughing
tenderness, others brighten it by their
brilliant aud spiritual vivacity. Gazing
and poriDg before a mirror cannot aid
in acquiring beautiful smiles half so we'll
as to turn and gaze inward, to watch that
the heart keeps unsullied from the refec-
tion of evil, aud is illuminated and beau.
