What a Lady thinks of Hairy Faces.

a distinguished female up at Ncna, Ohio, is
making a terrific crusade against hairy-faccd
men. Hear her:
What expression Of kindness and mild hu-
manity can he observed in face covered with
hair from the nose down? Not any. As well
might poor rat look in the grizzly nuzze Of
Scotch terrier for mercy, when about TO be
caught in his crushing Jaws aS to look for an
expression of human kindness and sympathy
in the face Of a hirsutc man.
Who can appreciate the value of a smilc?-

giadness to the hearts Of others. encourages
the deSponding, soothcs the afflicted, cheers
the Sorrowng, diSarms wrath, and kindleS up
genial sympathy and reciprocal regard.
But a smile can not crop out from the face
Of man "bcardcd'' and mustachcd like the
pard." You suppose, from the agitation OF

through it. So you may infer, from the whisk-

such man can not be distinguished from the
grin Of ribbcd-n0scd habOOn. which had

traits in Napoleon 5 nature were in his mouth
and chin, which he could cothc with 50 much
sweet, winning, mute, purSuasive cloqncnct
as to render his look irresistible. But when
lip and chm are covered with hair you might
as well look for expression in the hole OF q

with n tuit Of grass.
The passions and affections have their poles
in the face, tirmncSs in the upper lip, mirth
fulnesS near the outer cornerS of the mouth
and the affections in the edges of the lips, &c.
hence the philosophy and delight Of kissing
the more intense the passion, the more soul
thrilling and enrapturing the kiss. Bcholt
