no film or darkness. He talks with eloquent
tongue, and neither woman nor man can
resist the facination of bis company How
can such a person be called ugly? In spite
of his small stature and his bunch, Trimmles
is handsomer than silly Captain Fitz- Morti-
mer of the Rifles, who has straight back
Roman nose, and beard that MedDnsaleh
might envy.
Then take the case of Theodosia Perkins

She has face and form that sculptor
might love to initiate. But she is pert
she firts. has bad opinion of her own
sex and of the other-she has no education
of the heart or of the mind-she has no taste
for color, for tune. for propriety; she is
'fast"-she is ''loud"-she is eaten up with
vanity and conceit, and thinks herself the
very cream and quintessence of the world.
In one word, she is ugly. in spite of her face
and form. To look at her is sufficient to
know that she will find no one to marry her
except for her money and to prophesy that
after she is married her husband will detest
her.
Take also the case Of young Master Wig
ram. He was born a pretty child, and
might have grown up to be beautiful boy;
but he is intensely ugly. He has been HUI
mored and fondled with reason one day and
punished without reason the next; he has
been INDUCED in all his caprices in the morn
ing, and denied his just and natural require
ments in the evening. He has been coaxed
and petted, coerced and punished, equally
without justification (; and the result is that
be is plague of every one who comes near
him. He is built up Of evil passion. There
is not good thing about him. He is a
slave one minute, and tyrant the next !;
niggardly and extravaganza, clement and
cruel. Though but fifteen years of age. he
is ugly in the extreme, because he has not
single moral or intellectual quality to keep
his physical qualities in good couutenauce.
It comes to this-that whatever physical
nature may have done, or may have neglec-

rouges and pomades to make man or woman
lovely and lovable. It is mind that creates
face; and that makes little David. strong in
the Lords grace, handsomer than great
Goliah, who is only strong in the devils
favor.
And the superiority of this kind of beau

Lovely are the snow-white locks, neatly
parted over her serene forehead; lovely are
the accents of her sweet voice. that speaks
loving kindness to all the world; lovely is
the smile that starts from her eye, courses
to her lips, and lights up all her counter
