Feminine beauty,

Men in society have, from time
immemorial, SO ravod about beau
ty in woman. and poets in rhyme
and romance have SO sung its
praises, that it would be natural
to conclude only beauty lovabIo in
the sex. And tho proverb, "Men
lose their hearts through their
eyes, and women through their
ears" not only corroboratcs tho
the idea. but makes it appear that
in our seX, the scnses-and in the
opposite sex, tho intellcct--pre-
dominate. Mon set sufficient store,
tho godslknow, upon physical come
illness IN woman. But, after all,
it appeals to them as m effect
mthcr than cause, and is out
weighed by dozen other qualities.
--Bouty commands, but it docs
not win; it attracts, but it does
not hold. Aud if it be not nns.
wered by somo inward beauty, it
soon disappoints; and may, by
constantsuggcstion Of disharmony,
at last rcpcl, just as Il fair flower
invites us, We admire its form,
its color, it's daintiness. But
when We pluck it and find it scent
less, Il reaction comes that borders
on disgust. Wo feel wo have been
cheated by q countcrfeit, and the
flower looks bomclicr than if it
were less fair.
So there must be something
morc-a vast deal morc.-than
personal beauty in woman, to
mako her, for any length Of timo
pleasant in our eyes, much
less grateful to tho heart. What
that something is, it is difficult to
say; but it is Expressed in tho
word interest-which TO convey
tho exact idpn, should be inter.
estingness. How or why any ono
interests us we cam not determine.
or The fact wo arc convinced be.
yond argument, but we arc in.
capable of annnlyzinY tho aub,!o
Agencies TINT produce tho effect.
This capacity to interest is not
Il necessary concomitant Of por-
sonal comolincss, but, on tho con.
trary, is independent Of it-nt
least, IN many cases.

pride that fills parents with tho
idea that it is better that their
sons should half sturvc at some Of
tho out-ofeIbow professions, than
learn trade that will insure thcm
n competence in any part Of tho
world.
