EROIlrcly Girls.

How lid that homely woman contrivc to
get married z" is not unirequcntly remarked
ut some good domestic creature whom her
husband regards as the apple of his eye, and
IN whose plain face he sees something bet
ter than beauty. Pretty girls who are vain
OF their charms are rather prone to make
observations of this kind, and consciousness
OF the fact that flowers of lovclincss are of.
ten left to pine on the stem, wild weeds of
homcliness go off readily. is, no doubt, in
many cases, at the bottom of the question.
The truth is. that most men prefer homeli-
ness and aniahity to beauty and caprice.
Handsome women are sometimes very hard
to please. They are apt TO over value them.
selves, and in waiting for an immense bid
occasionally overstand the market The
plain sisters, on the contrary, aware of their
personal deficiencies, generally lav them
selves out to produce an agreeable inpres.
sion. and in most instances succeed. They
don't aspire to capture paragons with
princely fortunes, but arc willing TO take
anything respectable and oveworthy that
Providence may throw in their way. The
rock ahead of your naughty Junos and CO.
quettish Hebcs is iastidiousncss. They re-.
.lect, until nobody cares to WOO them. Men
don't like II be snubbed nor to be trjfcd
with-a lesson that thousands of pretty wo.
men learn too late. Mrs Hannah Moore. a
very excellent and pious person, who knew
whereof she wrote, recommended every un-
married sister to close with the offer of the
first good Christian lover who falls in her
way. But ladies whose mirrors, aided by
the glamour of vanity, assure them they
were born for conquest, pay no heed to this
sort of advice.
1t is noteworthy fact that homcly girls
generally get better husbands than fall to
the lot of their fairer sisters. Men who arc
caught merely by pretty face and figure do
not as rule amount to much. The practi-
cal, useful, thoughtful portion of mankind
is wisely contentcd with unpretcnding ex.
celence.
