THE MANTLE OF BEAUTY.
BY T. s. ARTHUR.

I PITY her, she's so plain.
'MargaretY
Yes
Certainly, she is very plain; but then,
she is so good
Goodness is very we'll in its way, but
handsome face and fine person will do
more for a girl than goodness, was re-
piled.
In worldly point Of view, you meau?'
The first speaker did not answer this
remark. Itsuggestcd thoughts not Who
lily in agreement with the sentiments Just
uttered.
The subject of conversation was the
youngest Of three sisters. She was call.
ed hOmely by almost every one; yet it is
but fair to say that she was too often seen
as q foil to her handsome sisters, whose
bright eyes, regular features, rich com
pIezions and free, graceful carriage had
won for them the appellation of the two
beauties
Parents are not always wise and just
The fact of being a father or mother
does not, as a matter of course, lift per-
son above his or her natural weaknesses
and defects of character, or change mate
rally the old estimate of men and things
The mother of these girls was very far
from being a wise woman, and quite as
far from being just towards her youngest
child. The beauty Of the two elder sis
ters she sought to increase by all the
available arts of dress; while the very
plainness and cOarseness of the attire
which she deemed good enough for Mar,
garet, made the latter seem homelier than
she really was. Margaret not being an
ornamental appendage of the household
was made useful. While her sisters dres,
sed and saw company, she was at work
and often at work for them. She fell
the unjust discrimination, and often cried
over it, when no one saw her; but neither
rebelled nor complained.
I pity her, she is so plain This wa:
often said by those who saw Margaret il
contrast with her sisters. But it always
happened, that those who had any true
knowledge in regard to her character
would answer, But she is so good
There is beauty in goodness. That
was her compensation. If the outer gar,
ment was plain, the inner form and true
substance of her being had a symmetry
and grace beyond what the flesh puts OF
in its most envied perfection. And com
pensation went further still. The soul ii
in perpetual effort to impress a likeness
of its quality in the face; to mould thu
features into an image of itself. If thi.
law was in favor of Margaret, it wa
against her sisters; for while she wa
living in self-denial, and in a patience il
possession of her soul, both willing anC
doing right in every relation, no matte
how unpleasant, they were Cherishint
pride, selfshness, vanity, WOrldliness, en-
w and ill-nature.
The time came, as years progressed
when it was no longer said, l pity her
she is SO pain Not that any saw sign
of beauty in her face; but it was no lon
ger perceived as homely. She did no
appear in company as frequently as he
gay and brilliant sisters, who always hat
around them a circle of admirers; bu
when she appeared she did not sit alone

people in their great exodus.

The New York World, speaking of
this Grafton, says;
We need do no more than direct the
attention of our readers to the ardent pa

craftsmanship, which shine through and

of the first soldier of his time to his gal
liant comrades who have fallen in their
country service.
MCCLELLAN ENTHUSIASM
The New York papers have much to
say about the enthusiasm that greeted
General Mcclellan wherever he went ou
this occasion. As he descended from the
platform, after delivering the oratiou, the
crowd rushed around him and gave three
rOusing cheers. 1t vas impossible that
the officers wiz surrounded him atiemp-
ted to keep thsn away, assuring then
that no demonstration whatever would
be allowed. They followed him theWholt
distance to has hotel, cheering and gras-
ping for his hand, which was shaken a
every step by persons catching itaith an
almost frantic enthusiasm. -.-. f

Getting Used to it by Degrees.


SOMEWHERE about here, writes a cor
respondent, lives a small farmer of such
social habits that his coming home intoz-
icated vas once no unusual thing. His
wife urged him, but ia vain, to sign the
pledge.
Why, you see, he would say, I viii
sign it after awhile, but don't ike to
break right off at once; it amt whole
some. The best way is to getused to a
thing by degrees, you know % -.7

would say, see if you don't fall into a
hole one of these days, while you can't
take care of yourself, and no one near to
help you out
Sure enough, as if to verify the prOph-
eey, as he returned home drunk one night
he fell into a shallow well, and after a
deal Of useless serambling, he shouted
for the light of his eyes to home and
hep him oct.

soul, showing her cap frill over the para
pet; you've got into hole at last, and
it's lucky I am in hearing, or you would
have drowned. Well, she continued.

the comparison JnaJ must De theue De-
tween her and her sisters.
sYes, I remember my first impression
also. But it gradually wore off as came
to know her. The fact is, her beautiful
soul shines through its material veil, and
you see the light and loyeliness within.
In the case Of her sisters, the order is re-
yersed. They are not; I fear, beautiful
souls
'The mantle they hare so long worn in
pride, was answered, is dropping away
from them, and if they do not see to it,

How To TELL GENERAL GRANT.-A
gentleman belonging to the Sanitary
Commission, who was going to the front
a few days since, said he did not know
General Grant, but he was determined to
see him before he came back. He wan
ted to know what kind of looking man
he was. You can't miss him, said a
bystander When battle is going on,
just ride along the lines till you come to
cloud of smoke like a locomotive on
horseback, and you will find Grant under
it. This I must say was very plain
direction. Anybody can find Grant BY
adhering to it. He seems to smoke a
whole box of cigars at time during the
progress of an engagement, and the har-
der the contest the stronger the puff.
