A woman has not natural grace more be-

A woman has not a natural grace more be
witching than sweet laugh. 1t is like tn.
sound of flutes on the water. It leaps from th.
heart in clear, sparkling rill, and the hear
bearing itfeels as if bathed in the cool, exhilar
ating spring. And SO Of the smile. A beau
/ tifu smile is to the female countenance wha
the sunbeam is to the landscape. 1t embel
fishes an inferior face, and redeems an ugly
one. A smile, however, should not become
habitual, or insipidity is the result; nor shoule
the mouth break into smile on one side, thu
other remaining passive and unmoyed, for thi
imparts an air Of deceit and grotesqueness t.
the face A disagreeable smile distorts the
lines of beauty, and is more repulsive than :
frown. There are many kind of smiles, eacl
having distinctive character; some announce
goodness and, others betray sarcasm. bitter
ness, and pride; some soften the countenance
by their languishing tenderness others bright
en- it by their brilliant and spiritual yivacity
Gazing and porting before mirror cannot aid
| in acquiring beautiful smiles half SO well as tc
turn the gaze inward, to watch that the heart
keeps unsuled from the reflection OF evil, and
is illumined and beautifed by all Of the sweet
| thoughts of creation.
One of our contemporaries, in Calculating the
woman Question" says: 81 confess, in all
sincerity, that have never yet seen an ugly
woman. This may well appear paradoxical,
and still it is the pure truth | enlarged upon
this idea once before an audience of women.
One who was extremely fat-nosed said to me-:
"Sir, I defy you not to find me ugly "You,
madam" replied, fare an angel fallen from
heaven, only you have fallen on your nose. :"
Probably she did not believe me, and has main
tanned against the whole world that she is very
ugly
Away among the Alleghanies there is a
spring, SO small that single OK, in summers
day, could drain it dry. 1t steals its unob-
trusiye way among the hills till it spreads out
in the beautiful Ohio. Thence it stretches
away thousand miles, leaving on its banks
more than hundred villages and cities and
many thousand cultivated farms, and bearing
on its bosom more than half a thousand steam
boats. Then joining the Mississippi, it stretches
away and away some twelve hundred miles
more, till it falls in the great emblem of eter-
nifty. It is one of the great tributaries of the
ocean, which, obedient only to God, shall roll
and roar till the angel, with one foot on the
sea and the other on the land, shall lift up his
hand to heaven and swear that time shall be
no longer. So with moral influence. 1t is a
ril-a riyulet-a river-an ocean, bound.ess
and fathomless as eternity.
We see it stated, in one of our up country
exchanges, says the Richmond South that there
is man in the county of Floyd who has two
Or three thousand bushels Of corn, and won't
sell bushel unless he can get two dollars and
seventy-fve cents bushel! That mans chance
