Speaking of laughter: when woman's
laugh is musical, it is the sweetest thing
in the world when heard, the MARBLE
of birds and brooks, and the tinkle Of
harps are unattended. 1t is an accom-.
plishment that cannot be learned-that
art of laughing we'll; gift of Nature,
bestowed upon her favorites.
Somebody confesses TO having been
fascinated by one ofthe fairest faces the
sun ever kisesd blush on, and pair
of eyes that almost "took the breath. "
For long time, he played the poor Pub
lican and worshipped her aiar off when
one day, that he Immediately indicated
in his calender with "a white mark" he
succeeded in getting within two chairs
of her, at dinner. His soul lay
at the threshold of one of his ears, to hear
what should first fall from those divine
lips. Blessed would those words be,
and remembered forever. He had not
long to wait, for the words came, and
ali too soon for romance. And what IN
the name of Webster's Unbridged, do
you suppose they were? by lingo"
His castle in air came down by the tur-
ret, and the angel that swore, 'by lingo,
dwelt in nothing of his building.
The owner of one of the sweetest
faces we ever saw, whose lips, it seemed
to us, should always part i'll music, as
Memnon's did at sunrise, had a laugh,
like the rafting of unanointed machin-
cry, 1t was much as if distant saw
mill should pause in its irving OF trees,
and fall laughing withth sort of mouth
that such 4 set of teeth would be likely
to fill. And she was always laughing,
and as she was wont, innocently
to say, sit h'Dt her to laugh" Every
body sympathized with her, for it hurt
every body to hear her.
There is a world Of character i'll the
laugh; quality that shows, as it were,
the grain of tie SOIL, whether it be OF
coarse or delicate texture. "Leather
Stockings" quiet, inly, and yet hearty
merriment, it does one good to see; it Is
the sort of laugh to be enjoyed. Some
people keep their hearts SO tucked away
out Of all sight and hearing, that laugh,
ter exploded above them much as a
ships gun at sea, above the groves OF
red coral, having nothing i'll the world
to do with them all.
A great, honest laugh from q great,
honest man, is as pleasant to hear as
chime of bells Oh a holiday, but deliver
us from a litter. We do not wonder ii
serves as q name for one of the meanest
weeds that grows. And there IS
whole family ofthem-giggles, chuckles
and grins--in which plethoric water
spouts, meaQ men and humorous hyenas
indulge.
How much heartiness there IS in tho
:'ha ha'' that wakens the echoes; the
Jolly huntsman's ''ho no" rings through
the good, green wood she he" is 70
guish explosion, and 'hH hn' winds VI
that great diapason of laugh, We some
times hear, when pair OF strong lqng'
goes through the merry gannt with {
'ha ha-ho ho-hu hu,' until the five 80
Gals and the breath are exhausted 10
gether.
An honest, human laugh is always
made of the very best materiai-purt
vowels. When you hear man who
laughs c0nS0uants, look out for him; who
elects series of SIS at you, between the
sharp edges Of his teeth.
When man laughs, he always laughs
