Of the elegant which the Father Of all
beauty has planted in US, selecting love
ly wives and adorning our offspring with
every ornament which can set off their
charms 10 advantage Indeed. It Is not
I easy to conceive Of the future beauty Of
the human race when the reign Of peace
shall begin-wben the second Paradise.

Then. the circle of life being completed.
woman will re-appear as beautiful as her
mother Eve; for beauty IS normal, ugli-
ness abnormal. But what will man have
gained? knowledge. Be bad chosen
to know good and evil, To know the
latter he must suffer from it-concepfon
Of the feeling Is not sufficient; It must
be nursed and fed with the lifesprings Of
his bosom. PeriIous choice but the
man who is true to his soul shall con-
Quer.
To recover this lost personal beauty
of the human race requires many years
of labor, as it has taken many centuries
to make the most degraded nations the
most ugly; but that It IS to be attained,
all history points out 10 Us. The Turks
by intermarriage with their lovely neigh
bors have turned their former uqlinezs
into elegance; While the descendants Of
the Prophet (the bandsomcst man Of his
time) at Medina, on the same principle.
have almost transformed themselves into
negroes. During the time Turks were a
conqnering people they retained their
ancient unIoveliness ; but soon after thev
settled in Turkey, they grew idle. mar
ried women better educated than them
selves, and the latter transmitted their
beauty to The offspring.
The face Of a beautiful good woman
at home IS Ike the spirit Of an angel in
:icc ;i:c house, with the air Of heaven still a.
bout her. and the light Of the Eternal
City in her face: but a false countenance
like vinegar, cannot stand in the sunsaine
Of truth, but warps and twists, and turns
into every fantastic form, yet never by
chance comes straight.
