hall to large audience, and at least ono
thing can be said in its favor-it nottnd
about $50 for the Library. The sentiment

Attraetivsas.. In Women.

Personal attractions most girls pos
-eSs. at any nate IN q sufficient degree 10
render them attractive to somebody: for,
although there arc standards Of beauty.
yet these do no; prevail with all people.
The following sensible article from n
lcading paper IN the West, will apply 10
tho ladies' here ~ we'll as TO the women
of the locality for which the article was
intcndel There j. something won
derful In the difference of aspect which
the same face wears 10 different behold
ers. Probably the philosophical cx-
planation 81 thu u that which j. hidden
from all becomes Immediately and in
stinctiyely apparent to the eve Of love.
How can a moderately good looking girl
increase her attractions? By culture.
She must cultivate her mind. An ig-
norant, illiterate woman. oven il she at
tracts attention. cannot retain the in
tercst Of an intelligent man. She must
do this by reading, by study. reflection,
and by familiar conversation with the
best and most highly educated persons
with whom she comes in contact. But
the heart must DO cultivated rs well rs
the head. "Ol all things" exclaimed
an elegant and refined gentleman-"of
all things, give me q softness and gen.
tleness in woman" A harsh voice, a
coarse laugh; triAes like these have
suddenly spoiled many favorable i'm
preston. The cultivation Of the heart
must be real, not feigned. A woman
who studies to appear rather than to be
good and generous, seldom succeeds in
deceiving the other sex in these respects.
She who in truth seeks earnestly to pro-
mote the happiness of those around her
is very apt soon to obtain admirers
among men. Above all other requisites
in a woman is conscientiousness. With
out this one touchstone of character, no
matter what her charms and aquire-
ments, she cannot expect to command
the lasting regard of any man whose
love is worth having"
