Innaence Of the Smile in Giving Beauty to

A beautiful smile is to the female coun-
tenance what the sunbeam is to land
scape. 1t embellishcs an inferior face
aud redeems an ugly one. A smile, how
ever, should not become habitual, insi.
pidity is the result; nor should the mouth
break into smile, on one side, the other
remaining passive and unmoved, for this
imparts an air of deceit and grotesque.
ness to the face. A disagreeable smile
distorts the line of beauty, and is more
replusive than a frown. There are ma
ny kinds of smiles, each having distinct.
i've character-some announce goodness
and sweetness-others betray sarcasm,
bitterness aud pride--some soften the
countenance by their lsuguishiug tender
ness-others brighten it BY their brillian,
and spiritual vivacity. Gazing and por,

The latest Texas papers speak Of the
devastations committed by grasshoppers.
In many places, entire corn6elds have
been laid waste, there not being left a
blade or stock of anything green. The
corn, which had grown five or six inches
high, has been utterly destroyed. A gen.
tlcman, just down from San Antonio, says
these insects completely cover the prairics
in many places, destroying every thing
before them as they go. They are said
to be quite small, only one-half or three.
quarters of an inch in length.
