the backwardness of the spring. 1t is worse
than that of 1850, which was considered full

that it is an unusually good sugar season.

THE LIGHT MOST FAVORABLE TO BEAU
TY-Wincklemann relates that the young girls
of Rome, after they have been promised in
marriage, are seen by their lovers for the first
time in public, in the rotunda of the Pan
theon, because the light enters there BY
single opening in the roof, and the light from
above is most favorable to beauty. Women
here are the best judges, and from their de-
cison there is no appeal. Man being the on
" one among living beings to whom the up
right attitude is natural, it is fitting he should
receive the light from above, az this enhances
all the graces of the human figure, Of which
hight is the dominant dimension The con-
trary Is true OF the scenes of nature. The
mountains, the hills, the trees, the rivers, the
ravines and the other accidents of the land
scape, lose part Of their character and their
form when lighted perpendicnlarly. Thus .
field is never more interesting for landscapist
than when it is traversed obliquely, almost
horizontally, by the rays of the rising or set
ting sun. In gallery whose openings are
made on slope of the roof, statues produce
the most agreeable effect, aud have the most
dignity. A sheet OF light extending itself
ov .r the breast enlarges il visibly, effaces the
lower part of the ribs, lessons the projection
of the abdomen; but it is the human head
above all which under the light from above
reveals all its beauties. The eyebrows be-
come more prominent, the eyes more bril-
liant under the park cavity followed by the
arch of the brows, the cheek bones slightly
raised the nose simplifed and heightened,
marked by luminous line that supports the
shadow thrown where the black OF the nos
trils is softened and lost. Let the light come
from below, all this beautiful order Is over
| thrown.-Btanc's Grammar Of Painting.
