ABOUT BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.


How eagerly men are engaged in
the pursuit of beautiful women, and
how little do they dream Of its brief
existence! This is undoubtedly in
obedience to the supreme law grow
ing out Of our organization, for who
does not love order, harmony, sym
etry, and perfection in all things :
But in this eager pursuit, it would
be well to remember that there are
qualities of far more Importance
than mere personal charms. True,
we may be fascinated with a dark,
lustrous and beautiful eye, the
crimson blush of the cheek, grace,
full symmetrical form but, after all,
the inquiry should be: Is there 9
soul within ? Is there elevation Of
thought, generous principles, noble
purposes, cultivated intellect If
not what else would a woman of
beautiful personal appearance be
but as adolf, a gilded toyR How
long could man Of genius be in
duced to worship at such a shrine J
How long before bis affections would
assume the form of hatred or cons
tempt? Powerful passions and strong
affection invariably accompany the
man of genius. Hence it is clear
that unless personal charms envelop
a cultivated mind as well as the ster-
ling qualities of virtue, the noblest
impulses of affection in such man
will soon be extinguished, and his
fondest hopes blastedi in the selection
of partner for life. Nothing is more
desirable 10 man of genius, in this
life than the ardent affections of a
good sensible woman; and, on the
other hand, no Offering on earth is
SO acceptable to woman as the sim
cerest affection of a man of genius
and truth.

What a ceremonious affair we
make of entertaining company! Too
many of US lose all sense Of being
at home the moment a stranger
crosses our threshold, and he in-
stantIy feels himself to be mere
visitor-nothing MOI e--and acts ac>
cordingly. The man who knows how
to "drop in" of an evening, draw up
his chair to the hearth as if it were
his own, and fall into the usual even-
ing routine of the household as if he
we're member Of it-how welcome
he always is Z! The man who comes
to stay under your roof for season,
and who without being Intrusive or
familiar, makes you feel that he is
Sat home" with you and. is content
in his usual fashion Of occuprtion-
how delightful a guest he is! And
the house --ah how few Of them
into which one can go for week
feel sure that the family routine is in
no wise altered, the family comfort
is in no wise lesseued, but on the
contrary, increased by ones pres
ence-what joy 1t is to cross their
thresholds! What harbors Of refuge
they are to weary wanders What
sweet "reminiscences they bring TO
the lonely aud homeless!

FAIRS.

A contemporary says: Among
the gre atest auxilliaries to the devel-
opmeut Of a country, chief agen-
cY is found in an annual fair. Moth
ing contributes more to the social
and physical strength of commu-
nifty, than the annual rivalry invited
by these periods. The exhibits of
products of the soil, of live stock,
and of articles Of manufacture, are
all calculated to encourage invest-
ments in labor and genius. The
success of one man in any particu-
lar branch of industry is sure to inns
pei another man to greater exertion,
and society becomes the beneficiary.
Experience, which is by far the
best teacher, has shown that in sec
tons of the country where these
fairs have been held for any length
of time, the farms are more pro
ductive, the farmers more prosper
GUS, the breeds of stock finer, me-
chanics more active, and every
branch of industry and art in bet
ter condition, than in the sections
where such annual meetings are not
held. st.- -el

+ Eife would be impradticable un-
less it were the primary rule to
believe what is, told as. There is
not a single relation in adult life 10
which we are not compelled to de-

would life be reducedif we were to
apply to these matters 'tthe univer>

believe z" In some, at all events,
of these relations, it may be OBJ

perhaps be said that it is mere

if cusi omsrs are trusted the MAORI

tradesmen really do act in practice
on this mere calculation of probable

would be an insult TO a friend to say

A HIGHLY ROMANTIC STORY
FROM JENNIE JUNE.

y
1t is not often that fate blesses q
man with such entire completeness
as happened in the case Of New
York journalist a few months ago.--
He was fiue>looking fellow, hand
some and distinguished, with just
that soupcon Of Bohemianism in his
appearance that takes with women.
On a certain fortunate morning he
was sent to report the opening or
something or other of a railroad,
whose President was u man of very
large fortune and whose wife, much
younger than himself and very beau~
tiful, was among the nspicuous Of
the guests. Our journalist not troub-
led with bashfulness, was presented;
naturally, as journalists always do,
he made himself agreeable. The
lady was pleased, the attraction, to
a certain extent, was mutual, and by
a singular stroke which must have
come from the hand of destiny itself,
the railroad mag nate shortly after
died, leaving bis young and fair wild
ow to mourn and be comfoyted. Our
journalist thought he could do no
less under the circumstances than
write letter of coincidence, which
was answered by little note intim'
ating that after the lapse Of a proper
time the lady would be pleased to
have him call. He did call, more
than once, and fifteen months after
the death of the husband, proposed
to the widow, was accepted, and the
two were married. What is a little
singular about the affair is, he new er
inquired the amount of the lady's
fortune, and was considerably aston
ished on the day Of the wedding to
be presented with securities repre-
senting ST 200, 900 in value. This
amount the lady desired to endow
him with and make his own by right,
but the gallant young journalist alb
solutely refused to accept it. He
wouldn't even so shares. He insist
ed that the whole should be settled
upon herself, land would consent only
to be the disburser of the moneys
expended for their jointuse and ben
eft. The happy pair sailed for Eu>
rope, and letter leceived from him
the other day from Vevay, in Swift
zerlsnd, contained the declaration
that he was the "happiest dog alive;'
that his wife was the best and most
charmingrwnmen IN The world, and
Vevey The most enchanting spot in
the universe.

MET HER MATCH.

Some time since, on one of the
Hudson river boats, lady who had
attracted much attention orthe mas
culine turn of her manners and cons
sation, was seated at the table oppo-
opposite gentleman, who, in taking
some butter, in the absence of the
usual knife, used bis own, which the
lady observing, called aloud 10 the
waiter:
"Wait-ta bring another plate of
butter; thst man pointing to the
gentlemsn) had his knife in this y
The unfortunate wight almost sank
under the curious gaze of the COM
pany, but said nothing, determined
to watch his oppoli unity to return,
for the cruel modification, change iu
her own coin. He waited but a mo-
ment, ere plate of dried beef was
handed to the lady, who unceremon-
iously took some 10 her fingers and
placed it upon her plate.
"Wai.>ta ~ exclaimed the gentle
man in turn, "bring another plate of
beef that woman has had her fin
gers 10 this !"
A most ungalIant roar from the
company fairly turned the tables
against the lady, and she had the
good sense to acknowledge It's desert
and joined heartily in the mirth
created.

EXCERPTS.

Life that ever needs forgiveness
has for its first duty to forgive.
As we supply by new flowers those
that fade in our yaces, SO it is the
secret of worldly wisdom to replace
by fresh friendships those that fade
from our paths.
Five burns only when we are near
it, but beautiful face burns and in.
fl .mes one at distance.
The more honesty man has the
less he affects the air Of saint; the
afecsation Of sancity ia a blotch on
the face Of piety.
We should not dispair Of the goods

pen to see it Immediately around us.
The atmosphere is still blue, though
that which is inclosed in one aparts
