TELL-TALE LIPs.-I have observed
that lips become more or less contracted
in the course of years, in proportion as
they are accustomed to express good hu-
NOR and generosity, or peevishness and
contracted mind. Remark the effect
which moment Of ill-temper and grudg-
ingness has upon the lips. and judge
what may be expected from a habitual
series of such movements. Remark the
reverse, and make similar judgment.
The mouth is the frapkest part Of the
face; it cannot In the least conceal its
sensations. We can neither hide Ill
temper with it, nor good; we may affect
what we please, but affectation win not
help US. In wrong cause, it will only
make our observers resent the endeavor
TO impose on them. The mouth is the
seat Of one class of emotions as the eyes
are Of another; or, rather, it expresses
the same emotions, but in greater detail.
and with more irresistible tendency TO
be in motion. It is the region Of smiles
aud dimples. and Of trembling tender
ness Of sharp sorrow, or full breath
ing JOY. Of candor, Of reserve, Of anxious
care. Of liberal sympathy. The mouth.
out Of its many sensibilities, may be
faDcied throwing up one great expression
into the eye--as many lights in city
reflect broad lustre into the heavens.

CONFINEMENT AND Coon LOOKS
What is female beauty? In what does
il consist? II is not in pearl powder,
nor in hair dye, nor in jowelry. Ii can
not be got into bottle or box. II is
pleasant to be handsome. but all beauty
is not in prettiness. There is a higher
beauty that makes US love people ten
derG. Eyes, nose. hair, or skin never
did that yet, though it is pleasant to see
fine features. What you are will make
your face over for you in the end. wheth-
er nature has made it plain or pretty.
Good people are never ill-lool;ing. What
ever their faces may be, an amiable ex-
preston atones for ALL If they can be
cheerful also. no one will love them the
less because their features are not regu-
lar, or because they are too fat. or too
thin, too pale or too dark. Cultivation
Of the mind adds another charm to their
faces and on the whole, if any girl is
DESTROYS of being liked by the many. and
loved by the one. it is more in her pow
er than she may believe. to accomplish
that object. Cosmetics will not accom-
plish it. however. Neither will fine
dress /; though woman who does not
dress becomingly wrongs herself. Forced
smiles and affected amiability will be of
no avail but if she eau manage to feel
kindly to everybOdy-not to be jealous.
not to be cross-to be happy. possible,
and to encourage contentment, then
something will come upon her face that
will outlast youths roses. and gain her
not only husband, but lifelong lover.
