BEAUTY.

10 rule by which we can determine
the precise proportion of admiration
we should bcstow upon any particular
countenance. We could not say that
black, bInc, hazel, OIL grey orbs are entitled
to the pr, ference. We cannot prove the
superior merits Of auburn rnglcts or ebon
hrals. or convince any but ourscIvc, that
brunette is lovcitr than blonde or that a
blonde, or that a blonde i, more charming
than brunette. Each individual eye
makes lis own original decision, and it is
no tn"rc possible t" alter that opinion 10y
argument than it is to stem the hilluws of
the Atlantic, or to persuado a woman to
wear "A honn"t Of the last years style:
You will declare, perhaps that voti

OF course, you add, that is not the ,!"ar

he thinks Of your eyes and your ringIets
--and have you not more admirers than
you can count? Would not Augustus and
Harry be ready, at Il moments notice, to
engage in mortal combat TO prove, the one
that Amanda, the other that yourself, pos
sess the greatest claim to bcauty2 Which
is the llandsomcr! You cannot decide, nor
can any one else. Amanda, Flora, Ruth,
Katie, Ellen and Georgia, each have their
admirers. and each know those who consiI
CT them possessed Of no charms whatever
Who, then, is bcautiful-no one, or every
one answer, decidedly, all in a greater
or lesser degree. woman's proportion of
charms is generally estimated by the mum
Der of her admirers; and there are few
women who do not, sooner or later, boast
of at least one. For every johnny there's
a Jenny, for every Angelina there's an Ed
ward. So, never sit down in despair, girls,
and resolve in Il cabinet council of one tha,
you arc ugly. Every time IL woman har
bors such an idea, she Injuries her appear

mind that your time will come yet. Con

plenty OF clear water rs your only cosmetic;
dress as becomlnSly as you can, and on

your purse will admit. Then rest assured
that, though you may not be aware of it,

IN Sh"cimy 4t' Uorscs M"t Turn Me
Toe OHf~"''ts or Mw"ris.--Thc powerful
influence of the application of the shoe in
modifying the action of the horse, Is IL well
known fact tut care is not always taken
to preserve the hoof in it's natural shape
and to obviate the effects of the shoe. THIS
is principally applicable to two well known
defects, viz, one, the turning out Of the
toe; the other, when the toe turns in
wards. The smith does not carly his at

OH examining II h"r>" presenting this de-
feet, we perceive !. deviation in normal
structure of either The whole limb. or
merely The lower part. In The first in.
Stance, The elbow is closely applied to the
chest, and the whole Of III. lpy is turned
"utwarls. 1t is difficult to place til.
hand between the olccra,"n and the particles
Ut the chest. In. the secnnd instance,
the deviation begins at The knee; or per
haps the fctlock is only more towar,is the
medical line than the heels or finally, the
boof only dcviates 10y the removal of un.
due wearing at the inner quarter. If, in
taking up, the foot, it is found that the
outside branch of the shoe is more worn
than the inside one, the. corresponding
side Of the hoof is more elevated. When
however, the defect arises from the artic-
ulation, the contrary takes place. .
These defects are not always of the same
Importance. When they arc caused by
the inequality o., the hoof, the remedy is
simple: and ali that is to be done is TO
give a leyelSbearing to the foot, by tho
application of suitable sIioe. ,Ifthe de-
Walton depends"on the articulation, then
the remedy must, be effected by making
ono side of the shoe thicker, and also by
certain notifications in placing the nail
