BEAUTY.

Is "beauty only skin deep,'' as the COM
mon phrase is? We think not always.
Beauty extends further-clear in through
every nerve and fiber to the heart and soul.
Every person whom we love is beautiful
to us. Beauty, therefore. is soul-dcep; and
that Is a beauty which never fades in time
or eternity. @
10 be sure, the common. superficial beau
ty of form and outward substance is but
%skin-deep, and passes away, in the advanc-
ing years, if not into ugliness, at least into
something that is near akin to it, if the soul
be not beautiful.
But the beauty of the soul is Immortal.
If the face of Il beautiful .souled human being
in youth be commonplace, the mind COM
mences its work upon the features, and
chisels curves and lines of delighting lovli-
ness.
Look at the Intellectual man or woman,
who has spent life virtuourly, cultivating
every good faculty of his or her nature, till
old age. What harmony of feature! What
regal brilliancy in the clear, frank eyes !!
How softly the bearing, how snpremely
1.-the and bouyant the walk OF such an one !!
Even the hair, though white as driven
snow, has a healthy g%listen, and sets off with
artistic lovliness the happy face.
Beauty in a good, noble-hearted woman is
not only skin-deep. 1t increases with her
years, and becomes more resplendent as she
blossoms for the grave.
10 those, however, who are negligent of
the bright talents Which God has given
them, who waste their youth in idleness or
dissipation, beauty is indeed only skill-deep.
Neglecting the good qualities of the mind,
and encouraging vice and ignorance, the
beautiful features of woman grow coarse
and angular with advancing years, the skin
shrinks and shrivels. and what once seemed
a very model of grace and harmony has be-
come inelegant and disagreeable to the sight
of all.

The 0 E CIR CLE E.
YOUTH.

,,sore are gains for all our losses,
Tbere are balms for all our pam;
nut when youth the dream DEPARTS
II takes something from IL hearts
And it never comes again.
we arc stronger, we are better
Under manhood's sterner reign;
still we feel that something sweet
Followed youth with flying feet
And will never come again.
Something beautiful has vanished
And we sigh for it in vain;
We behold 1t everywhere,
IN the earth, and in the air,
Rut it never comes again.

FRIENDS.

Never cast aside your friends if by any pos
Slolllty you can retain them. We are the
weakest of spendthlifts if we let one drop off
through inattention, or let one push away an
other, or if we hold aloof from one through
petty jealousy or needless slight or rough
ness. Would you throw away a diamond
because it pricked you? One good friend is
not to be weighed against the jewels of the
earth. If there is GOODNESS or %unkindness
between us let us come face to face. and have
1t out. Life is too short to quarrel in, or to
carry black thoughts of friends. 1t is easy
to lose a friend, but a new one will not come

There are many persons to be found who
talk a pleasure in SYSTEMATICALLY parading
their weak points before their neighbors
without the least regard to the possibility Of
their being criticised sharply in regard to
those failings, to which they appear ever anx-
ious to give the greatest prominence. Such
a want of consideration for themselves tends
to render them despicable, and is apt to
prove a constant source OF bitter humilia-
ton. ~

Ulysses the First that the solution
of the problems of American poll
tics will be found when Ulysses
comes marching home. When
Grant gets through with his Euro
pean tour, and pulls up at the
Battery" in New York. the
naughty Democrats will have
nothing left but submission, so we
are told. And this is the panacea
gravely proposed by so-called
Republican journal for our national
dilemma. Now, for Our part, we
heartily hope that anything like
civil trouble is over for aye in the
United States. Unless the Repub-
lican party chooses to bring it on,
it certainly is. But we may be
permitted to remark that if Grant
ever undertakes to play the role of
Caesar in the United States he will
fall so flat that he will hardly be
interested in knowing what hit
him. All sections of the Democ.
racy are now in the Union. They
all propose to stay there. They are
attached to IL and they think they
have an excellent chance of admin
istering the government about
eight years out of twelve. But
should the bloody experiment of
subverting a constitutional govern
ment ever be undertaken, all Dem.
ocrats, alike in Louisiana and
Massachusetts, in Maine and Tex
as, will have something to say
about it. We think that any in.
telligent man, who cyphers little,
will see that, if the issue should
ever be raised, the odds of brute
force would be tremendously in
favor of the Democrats. We don't
think there is the slightest danger
of any drop of blood being split in
the controversies which will arise
in our politics for many, many
years to come, and we would beg to
suggest that such exaggerated rant
is mere "rot."

LONDON, May 17th.-A dispatch
from Pera says that, though the

theless increased the uneasiness
here. The Russians instead of
being clustered in villages are now
extended before the city, with their
lines Of tents in a manner appre-
hensive to the popular mind.
News comes also Of an advance of
fifteen thousand troops from Kali
kraft to Rustchuk and Tichkimdje
and of similar forward movement
from Sturia to Kaliikrati and other
corresponding advances from the
rear towards the front. All
the movements are to mass
the Russians closer and closer
to Constantinople which, conse-
| uuently. increases the anxiety
within the city. 1t is reported on

Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-05-18

The San Francisco Post wa xes
wroth because the House of Repre-
sentatives, in the probable adop-
ton of the Potter resolution, pro-
poses to confine itself to an inquiry
into the electoral frauds in Lonisi-
ana and Florida. Our contempo-
rary seems to have forgotten sew
eral things in its simulated anger
we say simulated anger, because
that Journal understands the situa-
ton as well as we do. One of the
prominent facts in all this business
is that the State of Maryland, a
sovereign State, one Of the original
thirteen, by the way, has filed a
solemn bill of equity, in the Con-
gress of the United States, in
which she alleges that, owing to
the Florida and Louisiana frauds,
due efficscy has not been given to
her Electoral vote. A sovereign
State comes to the Congress Of the
United States and makes a formal,
definite complaint. The Posi-
ehould remember that neither
Pennsylvania, nor Massachusetts,
nor Vermont, nor New Hampshire,
nor Rhode Island, nor Illinois, noi
Iowa, nor all the other States
which voted for Hayes, can make
such a complaint for the simple
reason that more than its full eff
cacy has been given to the electo'
raj vote of those commonwealth
Owing to the fraud in Louisiana
and Florida the electoral votes o
those States were made to coun
for q man who is temporarily
President. They can't complain
while Maryland, and New York
and Indiana, and all the othe
States which voted for Mr.. Tilden
the rightful President, can. An
other thing is overlooked by th
Post, and that is that the stool
pigeons who consummated tn
electoral iniquity for certain lead
ers of the Republican party ar
giving their employers away. n
man is too base to turn States evi
dence, but the party which ha
