A Beautiful. WOMAN. The percep.
tive faculty of women is usually keen
or than the same chronological organ
in men. Women know that beauty
rather than genius is worshipped by
the sterner sex. A man may talk OF
the latter to his lady.love. but the
keenness Of the woman knows that he
is thinking of the former. Women are
fond of admiration hence one of their
longings is to be beautiful. The grand
secret of female beauty is health, the
power to eat, digest and assimiIate a
proper quantity of wholesome fool.

part Of 1868, during the Rebellion, a
soldier whose name is unknown died near
New Geek, West Va , but papers found
on liz person proved him to be from
Washington county, Pa At the time of
his dr;..h he had dog TO whom he was
greatly attached. The dog followed his
dead master to his grave, and as his com
rades were filling up lis grave, the devoted
friend whined piteously, and tried to get
the dirt from out the grave. Every exer-
ton WAS made to get the dog away from
the grave, but the dog kept its stand, only
taking time enough each day to 20 and
find a spare morsel to eat. Even the bit
terest Rebels fed tie dog-honoring such
devoted loyalty. He remained guarding
the gravs until about one month ago, when
death relieved him of his duty-having
stood a devoted watch of more than egiht
years. About twenty-five citizens buried
him. erecting board with the following

there was great feast in a great house.
a wealthy young merchant was giving a
dinner>party one winter evening The
guests had just entered tbesdining room,

and had a seat next the host. Everybody
was charmed with the beauty and grace

hardly finished when the visitaat discov-

had come TO the wrong house The RIGHT

been most doubtful of the propriety of our
action were heartily glad that their doubts
were not well founded.
