Beauty Of features is not necessary. Or
binary features, when lit up with the
sunbeams of sensibility, generally excite
the same passions which they express ;
and the winning attraction of their smile
invests them with peculiar charms, like
the variegated hues with which bril-
liant rainbow tints the gloomy clouds. -
The proud and dangerous gift of genius
is not necessary Let woman possess
what is infinitely more valuable-good
common sense, and intellect sufficient to
direct it in the most appropriate manner
to all the practical purposes of life Let
there be truthfulness and integrity in her
nature, strengthened by a thorough
course Of mental discipline, and it will
not fail to give beauty and power to her
thoughts and character. 1t does not con-
sist in the ready flow of conversation,
captivating in its viyacity, brilliant in
It's fresh conceptions, charming in its
polished sentences, dazzling in itsswitti-
cisms, and instructive in its solidity =
True, these qualifications, combined with
those constituted to render home happy,
may make a woman the embodiment of
all which the most noble and imaginative
heart could wish or desire but they are
not essentially necessary. A woman
with ordinary features and ordinary abil-
tiles may make home very pleasant and
agreeable. And who would not prefer
such one to her who-no matter bow
beautiful or bcwitchng-puts on her
smiles like her ornaments, and dresses
her mind, like her person, for company,
in painted colors, fictitious charity, and
pinchback beneyolence: The true secret
Of making home happy is ~ haze he

charity to overlook foiblos; to learn to
forgive and forget, and never to be too
proud 10 make concessions-eyer, as it
were, intuitiyely, with blind mans in

things that eyince in silence, devotion
and affection unspcskable. But above
all, the wife should possess that genuine
piety which leads her 30 forget herself in

DO nOt Censure without KNOWING.


Do not censure without knowing,
Oft is hid a noble mind,
Worthy Of our love bestowing,
Where we least expect to find;
Many heart in kindness beating,
Making solitude its own,
With no kindred spirit meeting,
Lives unloved, because unknown.
Should you feel inclined toscensurc
Faults you may in others view,
Ask your pwn heart, ere ytiii 9eiz lFc,
If that has not failings too.
Let not friendly VOWS be broken
Rather strive a friend to gain;
Such friendship oft in token,
Finds its passage home again.
Do not then in idle pleasure,
Trifie with brothers. fame;
Guard it as u gilded treasure
Sacred to your own good name
Do not form opinions blindly,
Hastiness to trouble tends;
Those Of whom we've thought unkindly
Oft become our warmest friends.

penned the following note:

creature, who does not know her own

Grace Merry knew nothing of this
note.
The hours moved slowly on. Grace
was in the most restless mood possible.
She drummed her piano a while, then
she tried her guitar, and broke several
strings, then she walked to the window
Finally she sat down to her drawing, and
spoiled several sheets of Bristol Board,
with queer heads aud quantity shaped
trees and birds. At last she arose and
sought Lizzie.
"He will come directly, Lizzie"
"you are vastly mistaken. Charles
Stanley is too proud to WOO a second
time"
Night came and no Charles Stanley.
Lizzie sat reading the evening paper.

The blow was unexpected with low
despairing cry, issuing from pale, ashy
lips, Grace Merry (ainted! No, she
did not faint, she passed to her own
room, locked the door, and was found
the next morning with nervous fever.
For a week she suffered and Lizzie

not 50 grieyed at her friends illness as
che ought to have been. On Sabbath
