there is quite as great portion Of true,

IouEY GRLs-''IIow did that homcly
woman c5nlive % get married. Is not un-
frequently remarked Of some good domestic
creature whom her husband regards as the
apple Of his eye, and IN whose plain face he
secs something better than beauty. Pretty
girls who are vain of their charms arc rather
prone to make observations Of this kind; and
Consciousness OF the fact that flowers of
l0yeliness are often left to pine on the stem,
while weeds Of LONELINESS go Off rapidly, is
no doubt in many cases at the bottom Of the
question. The truth is. most men prefer
homeliness and ability to beauty and caprice.
Handsome women are apt 10 over-yaluo
themselves, and in waiting for an immense
bid occasionally overstep the market. Their
plain sisters, on the contrary, aware of their
personal deficiencies, generally lay tbemselyse
out to produce an agreeable impression, and
in most instances succeed. They don I aspire
TO capture paragons with princcly fortunes,
but are willing 10 take anything respectable
and Noteworthy that Providence may throw
in their way. The rock ahead Of our naughty
Junos and coquettish Hebes-is fastidious-
ness. They reject and reject, until nobody
cares to WOO them. Men don't like to be
subdued or trifed with-a lesson that thous-
ands of pretty girls do learn too late. Miss
Hannah Moore, very excellent and pious
person, who knew whereof she wrote, re-
comends every unmarried sister to accept the
offer of the first good, sensible lover who falls
in her way. But ladies whose mirror, aided
by the glamour Of vanity, assures them that
they were born for conquest, pay no heed to
such advice. 1t is a noteworthy fact that
homely girls generally get better husbands
than fall to the lot of their beautiful sisters
Men who are caught merely by pretty face
and figure do not, az a rule, amount to much.
The practical, useful, thoughtful portion of
mankind is wisely content with unpretending
excellence.
