The Desire to be Beautiful.

We were all taught in our childhood
that handsome is that handsome does"
Most parents are fond of insulating in
the minds of children the idea that beauty
is of no account, and that it is a snare to
the possessOr.
And vet in spite of all this, everybody
wants to be beautiful. The desire begins
with life, and ends only with death, if in
deed it ever ends.
Almost the first thing the little girl will
do, after she gets so as to run alone, Will
be to climb into a chair, and survey her
self in the looking glass.
You may preach to her till you are
hoarse, that beauty is only skin deep, and
that pretty dresses are no better than plain
ones, and she will listen to you perhaps;
but when she gets new ribbon, or hat
with a bright feather in it, she will strut
like peacock, and look down from the
supreme height of satisfaction upon little
Sally Smith, whose hat does not boast
feather
Why is til
Because every human being is born
with the desire to be beautiful. Every
body who has any self-respect tries TO be
beautiful They will do almost ANYTHING
which promises to make them look better.
The blooming young girl will sleep with
fresh beefsteak on her cheeks to increase
her bloom, and the thin haired belle will
suffer year after year, every night, the
torture of curl-papers, or leads, for the
sake of looking better.
No matter how old, and staid, and
sober-minded, the woman is, she always
wants to improve her looks. The grand
mothers of to-day have their little private
boxes of pearl powder and rouge; and the
grandfathers sport their hundred dollar
sets of worries, and dye their gray hair,
and oil their whitened mustaches, and
pad their attenuated forms, just as If they
had not reached the age of the clean and
slippered pantaloon."
Who gets rich in hurry, nowadays
Why, the man of patent hair restorers,
and balms of YOUTH and miraculous tooth
washes. It is better than striking oil in
Pennsylvania, or mining gold in Nevada,
to invent something that will remove
freckles or eradicate pimDles.
Women will risk their lives by arsenic
eating. they will lay themselves liable to
paralysis from the use Of lead powder, they
will invite blindness with belladonna on
the eyelids, they will give consumption
cordial welcome inside tight corsets-they
will do a score of things of the same de-
scription, and for what? Why, TO be
beautiful!
It is perfectly right and proper that
every one should strive to look as well as
possible-wherc the health, physical OF
moral, IS not in danger of being injured
by the means employed.
But we do believe that cleanliness, open
.;r avar<;so and kind ness uracticed to-

Failures to find verdicts against per-

on the ground that the jury had some
Of the whisky. Senator Christiancy's
proposition to amend the law for the
prosecution Of polygamy has reference
to a difficulty of substantially the same
nature in trials for the punishment of
men possessed of a plurality of wives.
This bill makes it a good ground for
the rejection of a juror that he is actu-
ally a polygamist himself, or that he
s.believes it morally or legally right for
q man to have more than one living
and undivorced wife," This would
cover, apparently, all the difficulty of
convicting polygamists in Utah. All
Mormons are not actually polygamists
themselves, but all believe in that in
stitntion, and perhaps hope to be po-
Iygamists some day or another. To
endeavor, with such persons on a jury,
to procure the enforcement of laws for
the destruction of that vicious usage,
must. therefore, be hopeless, and out
side of Utah there cannot be two opin-
ions as to the propriety and necessity
of this enactment.

CHRISTMAS.

That this is q season of merry-mak-
ing and rejoicing, is patent to the most
casual observer. The gay attire OF the
stores; the accumulation of toys and
articles suitable for holiday gifts; the
crowds that throng the shops. bent on
seasonable purchases; the display OF
the good things of life at the markets,
the CHEEKY sounds of childish voices,
piping out in unrestrained giee, &C.
companied by fierce blasts from dis
cordant trnmpets, and harsh discords
of sound on instruments purposely
manufactured for their pleasure and
their elders distraction, all betoken
the fact that the festivities have com
menced. A a community, we have
every reason to heartily participate in
all of the enjoyments Of the season.
The gloomy outlook at the beginning
of the year, and the months of idleness
that followed, have given place to life
and activity. Our mines, the main
stay aud foundation stones of our ma
terial prosperity, are pouring out their
wealth to the markets of the world.
Their permanence has passed beyond
the bounds of speculation, and their
future, in the light of present devel-
opments, is assured.
1t is apparent, from the holiday trade
at the stores and the general hustle
and preparation on every hand. that
our citizens are determined to throw
off the cares of business, and, animated
by the spirit of the occasion, join in the
feasting and merry making that is in
serarable from agenuine old-fashioned
Christmas. In order that the printers
and staff men may indulge in the
festivities, there will be no paper issued
from this Office tomorrow. The e
TINEL. echoes the prevailing sentiment
and wishes its many readers, and the
whole people of the Base Range, a
'.Merry Christmas" and many happy
returns Of the anniversary.
