THE BEAUTY OF IRISH WOMEN.

Monsieur Felix Belly, one Of the
writer's of the Constitutionelle, having
made tour through Ireland last sum
mer, pronounces the following eulog.
ium upon the women Of that coun.
try:
"The most remarkable element, the
richest, and certainly the most full of
life, of this land, SO life-full, is the
population itself. No European race,
that of the Caucasian excepted, can
compete with it in beauty. The Irish
blood is of a purity and distinction,
especially among the females, which
strikes all strangers with astonisii-
ment. The transparent whiteness Of
the skin, the absorbing attraction,
which, in France, is but the tribute Of
one woman in thousand, is here the
general type. The daughter of the
poor man, as we'll as the fine lady,
possesses an opal or milky tint, the
arms of statue, the foot aud hand
of duchess, and the bearing of O
queen. In Ireland there are as many
physiognomies as individualities.--
Rags, misery, and manual labor have
no effect on those endowments. Even
beneath the thatched cabin of the poor
peasant, in the midst of the potato
fields, which yields the sole nourish-
ment, those traits, at times, develope
themselves with unmistakable vivid
ness.
In the most wretched streets of the
old quarters of Dublin, the most ideal
tintings of the pencil would grow pale
before the beauty of the children
and, in the compact crowd which
each day occupies the galleries of
Merton Square, there is certainly the
most magnificent collection of human
beings it is possible to meet. Blondes
with black eyes, brunettes, with blue,
are by no means rare. Tue race is
strong as it is handsome as vigor-
ous as it is charming. The girls of
Connemera, with their queenly shoul-
ders and eyes of fire, would put to
shame, at this day, those daughters
of the East from whom they are said
to be descended. Ireland, in addition
owes to the fervor of her religious
faith, and, it must be said, to her mis-
fortunes and the prosecutions which
she has suffered, domestic morality
quite exceptionable.
There are, without doubt, in the
great cities of the country, as in all
centuries of population, ,abodes of evil
physical and moral their range is
more circumscribed in Dublin than
elsewhere. All those beauteous young
girls, with eyes SO pure, with fore
heads of marble whiteness, of stature
so commanding, know not even the
name of evil. One sees cleally that
the blood which flows in their veins
has never been vitiated by the mis-
deeds of proceeding generations. Add
to this temperate ife-almost ell
tirely vegetable in the country parts
and we will comprehend all the Wig
or and native purity possessed by
people, in too many other respects so
poorly endowed"

THEY SAY.

They say-Ah! well, suppose they do,
But can they prove the story true?
Suspicion may arise from naught
But malice, envy, want of thought;
Why count yourself among the "they"
Who whisper what they dare not say?
They say-But why the tale rehearse,
And help to make the matter worse?
No good can possibly accrue
From telling what may be untrue;
And is it not nobler plan
To speak of all the best you can?
They say-Well, if it should be SO,
Why need you tell the tale of woe?
viii it the bitter wrong redress,
Or make one pang of sorrow less
viii it the erring one restore,
Henceforth to "go and sin no more?"
:. They say--Oh pause, and look within,
See how thine heart inclines to sin
Watch, lest in dark temptations hour,
Thou, too, shouldst sink beneath its pow
err;
Pity the frail, weep DER their fall,
But speak Of good or not at all.
