How Not to Be Beautiful.

A vacant mind takes all the
meaning out of the fairest face.
4 sensual disposition deforms
the handsome features. A
cold, selfish heart shrivels and
distorts the best looks. A mean,
groveling spirit takes all the
character out of the counter
ance. A cherished hatred
transforms the most beautiful
lineaments into an image of
ugliness.
Itis as impossible to preserve
good looks with a brood of bad
passions feeding on the blood,
a set of loves tramping through
the heart, and selfish diSdian-
ful spirit enthroned in the will,
as to preserve the beauty of an
elegant mansion with a litter
of swine in the basement, a
tribe Of gypsies in the parlor,
and owls and yultures in the
upper part. Badness and beau
ty viii no more keep company
a great while than poison will
consort with health, or an ele-
giant carving survive the fur
mace fire. The experiment Of
putting them together has been
tried for thousands of years
but with one unvarying re
suit.
+, Stand on one of the crowded
streets and note the passer-by
and any one can see how a va
: can't mind has made a vacant
2 eye, how a thoughtiess, aimles.
| mind has robbed the features o
{ expression; how vanity ha.
} made everything about its vic
tim petty; how friVolity ha
g faded the luster of the counter
e ance; how baby thoughts have
: made baby faces, how prid,
S has cut disdian into the feature
+ and made the face a chroni
: sneer; how selfshness ha
a hriveled, and wrinkled, an,
withered up the personality
: how hatred has deformed an,
demonized those who yielde,
e to its power; how every ba,
o. passion has turned tell-tale an
t published its disgraceful stor
in the lines of the face and th
il look of the eye; how the oil
man who has given himself u
. every sort of wickedness
