FEMALE BEAUTY.-What theme -
The very page before us grows rosy as the
blush of Aurora, as we write the words
The beauty of woman is the epitome of all
the beauties of the world. The cerulean
sky of day, and the vaulted midnight
loaded with its burning stars, are both ex-
pressed in all their wondrous meaning in
her eyes. The golden sunshine and the
twilight shadows, all the hues of light and
shade, are in her hair The tint of sea
shells, the stream reflected softness of the
rose, all the richness of the blushing fruits
that ripen in the suns of southern climes,
are on her cheeks; upon her lips the glow
of sunset clouds, the ripe strawberry's
sweetness, the honey of thousand flow
ers. The blooming circle of her arms
bounds all deliciousness. Where she is not,
there is desert; and where she is, is par
adise. Take from the heaven its stars,
rob the landscape Of its flowers, take from.
the summer-woods their verdure and their
birds-and heaven, the landscape and the
woods would not be half so desolate as is the
heart of man, when lovely woman smiles
not on his loneliness.
He who laughs at us as rhapsodist, and
recognizes not the truth of what we say,
has not soul within him worthy to be
saved or lost For him there is no music
in the voices of the birds, no sweetness in
the flowers, no fascination in the stars;
for in the fair shape of beautiful woman
are all of these, and more. Paint her on
canvas, strike her forth from the marble,
recall her as an image of the mind, and
the vision warns and gladdens the heart
what, then, must her actual presence be 2
So great has been the power of beauty
in the world, that the names, the pictures
and the histories of the beautiful women
OF every age have been handed down from
generation to generation, with scrupulous
care, and every school-boy knows their
good and evil deeds. Universal homage
has been paid to beauty. The wise men
of Greece, immersed as they were in deep
philosophy and wrapped in the sublimity
OF their immortal dreams, loved to worship
at its shrine. The greater the grasp of
intellect and breadth of soul, the higher is
the appreciation of true female beauty, for
the man of science, as we'll as the poet,
(who acts more from instinct,) loves to
dwell on harmony-the living, breathing,
risl6le music of perfect form
There is a spiritual beauty as we'll as
physical. When the two are blended,
what more of Heaven do we need on earth
than such a presence? Give to woman.
all the perfections Of her physical nature,
I III IL
tame even the fierce tiger in his native
woods, and crown her then with virtue,
and she is indeed fit Queen of the Earth.
Her scepter is for good and all bend be-
! fore it.

Parody.

We find the following parody upon McKays
& Tell me, winged winds going the rounds
Tell me, we winged winds,
That round my pathway roar,
Do We not know some spot
Where women fret no more?
Some lone and pleasant dell
Some . holer" in the ground,
Where babies never yell,
And cradles are not found?
The loud wind blew the snow into my face,
Aud snickered as it answered" Nary place."
Tell me, thou misty deep,
Whose pillows round me play,
know'st thou some favored spot,
Some island far away,
Where weary man may find
A place to smoke in peace,
Where crinoline is not,
And hoops are out of place?
The loud waves, sounding perpetual shout
Up for while, and spluttered, " Ycou giteout"
Tell me, my secret soul
Oh tell me, Hope and Faith,
Is there no resting place
From women, girls and death?
Is there no happy spot
Where. bachelors are blessed,
Where females never go,
And man may dwell in peace?
Faith, hope and love-best boons to mortals
given,
Waved their bright wings, and answered, /" Yes,
in Heayen!"

THE Tower OF BABEL.-Much, of late,
has been said of the tower of Babel. An
tiquarians have FURNISHED their antique
volumes, ignorant brush-makers are sur
prised how mortar could be made without
bristles from Ohio, while writers have in
dul9cd in confusion of language far
worse than existed when the sons of men
wished to build a church-steeple even unto
the moon. The curious should read the
Book of Jasher, published by the late la
mented Major Noah What would one
think of Paddy carrying hod to the top
of an unfinished building, which consumed
u year in the ascent, at a dollar a day -
Read what that veritable document .Jash-
er' says of Babel. ''And when they were
building they built themselves a great
city and a very high and strong tower;
and on account of its height the mortar
and bricks did not reach the builders in
their ascent to it, until those who went up
had completed a full gear, and after that,
they reached to the builders and gave them
the mortar and bricks thus was it done
daily" Chapter TX. verse 27.
Talk of Trinity steeple or shot-tower af-

THE MODEL YoUNG WoMAN.-The
model young woman natures at fourteen
years of age, by dof6ng the pantalettes,
concealing her ancles, and exposing her
bosom. At this age she commences re-
ceiying rose-colered notes from young gen
tlemen in gilt chains and cloth straps to
their boots, deeming them of no sort of
interest unless received in some mysteri-
Gus or contraband manner She looks
upon books with contempt, and meets
young dry-goods clerks, with narrow es-
capes from moustaches and impregnable
standing collars, in obscure streets. She
is frantically fond of love stories, in which
Augustus tunnels through several moun-
talns, challenges dangerous flying dragons,
and slaughters in a promiscuous" man
ner, score of rivals, to reach the arms of
his Adelgetha-to the CONSERVATION of '.all
hands" green serpents, blue fire, fatal
death, &c. She is exhibited at her COM
ing OUT as specimen of bringing up, and
out; her accomplishments, consisting of
'Twere vain to tell thee all l feel" on
the piano, the first five or six chapters of
Moral Philosophy and half an acre of
blue or white tarleton tastefully or frc-
quently erupted with pink ribbon. She
finishes her education by laying abed all
the forenoon, and conversing with store
clerks over counters, on highly interesting
subjects, all the afternoon In the even
ing she makes her appearance at brilliant
party with as few clothes on as fashion will
possibly allow, and exhibits herself as IA
subject for matrimony. She simpers and
flirts and flirts and shippers; imagincs she's
i'll love, when she is utterly incapable of
that sentiment, and the next day runs of
romantically and is married by a third-rate
clergyman In fourth-rate tavern. This
is her climax. Her lover is generally in
search of money, and she, after the ex-
citement is over, finds her glory and hap
piness dwindled down to bare recogni-
ton by her family and acquaintance, and
plods along through life with half score
of sore-eyed, unhealthy children, nightly
varying her delights by putting her drunken
husband to bed, and adding to her expe-
rience in regard to scarlet fever, chicken
pox, and vaccination She lives long
enough to see some of her children plead
ing guilty in police court, some of them
standing around the distributing office OF
relief society, and others in the poor
house, and finally dies at the expense Of
the county, with the broad truth staring
her in the face that her life has been ut
terly useless and wretched, only serving tc
add to the records of crime, and furnish
ing brilliant example for model young
women.-Bu6alo Republic.

To HAUL LARGE STosE.-The easiest
and most economical method of removing
large stones, after they have been raised,
Is first to have boat prepared which
consists of three inch aud a half or two
inch plank sawed to the length of from six
to eight feet, and ten inches wide; fastened
together by four or FIVE strips of beard,
with two holes in the front end through
which a chain is fastened to attach the
spreader. BY this means a stone of great
weight can be hauled by common team
much easier than on sled. Not only
this, but the ease with which they are
loaded, and the trining expenseof the boat,
the first cost being but about 81. The
stone should not be loaded too near the
front part of the boat, as the farther
back the weight is, the easier it can be
hauled.

THE AMERICAN FLAG.-It is strange
that the people Of these United States un-
dcrstand SO little of the proper form, pro-
portion and size, number of stripes of the
glorious Star Spangled Banner" The
standard of the army and navy is fixed at
six feet xinches by four feet four inches /;
the number of stripes is thirteen, viz
seven red and six white. 1t will be per-
ceived that the flag is just one-half longer
than it is broad, and that its proportions
are perfect when properly carried out
The first stripe at the top is red, the next
white, and SO down alternately, which
makes the last red. The blue "feld' for
the stars is the width and square of the
first seven stripes, Toured and three white !;
these stripes extend from the entire length
Of the field" to the extremity of the
flag. The next stripe is white, extending
the entire length of it and directly under
the field, in strong and pleasant relief, then
follow the remaining stripes alternately
The number Of stars on the "feld' is
now thirty-one, and the army and navy I'M
mediately add another star on the admis-
sion of new State in our glorious Union.

And some are books, and some are birds,
And some are breezcs overhead

loved heart that thrilled my own;
Some mountain streams together blend,
And some God made to flow alone.
know not why we never wed
/ courted-as most lovers do
We walked in churchyards, moonlit nights
And we read Petrarch through and through
She married then her husband died
She married-Godl how many times!
And I-oh yes married, too
Some mournful measure to my rhymes
And SO my inner world rolled on,
And twilight hecked it here and there;
Aud bits of sunshine fitted in,
To chase the shadows of despair.
My heart seems empty oftentimes-
1t once o'erfowed like flowers in June;
What matter though our hearts be void,
They're cups that must be broken soon
And yet not empty all this life;
God never made worthless thing
The linnet twittering in the fern
The dewdrop in the eye of SPRING
Have uses more than we may know,
And night has meanings, solemn, grand;
Then back, dim doubt this summer sun
Hath touch me like a gentle hand
And will live in simple faith;
That life hath ends l cannot see,-
| cannot guess what note or scale

A CHURCH THAT COST MORE THAN IT
is woRTH.-A letter from Lisbon, Portu-
gal, says =" There is nothing of particu-
lar interest to be seen in the city, except,
perhaps chapel in an old church, about
l6 by l8 feet large, and said to have cost
81 100000. 1t is built almost entirely of
amethyst, cornelian, lapis, Carrara marble,
porphyry, and other precious stones. The
three sides are filled with mosaic plates
representing Scriptural subjects, which,
from short distance, cannot be told from
the original paintings. Two candleabras
in this chapel are said to have cost $751;
900 apiece they are of silver, gilded, and
are the only things of value left by the
French, who knew not their worth"
