women's influence on Social Life.

Men, as rule, are easily attracted
to q beautiful face, but still it is an in
ternal beauty of character by which a
woman can exert the greatest amount
of influence. 4 true-minded man,
though at first enamOred by the glare OF
personal beauty, will soon feel the hOl-
iOwness of its charms when he diCOvers
the lack of beauty in the mind. Ines
timably great is the influence sweet
minded woman may WELD over those
around her. 1t is to her that her friends
would cone in seasons OF sorrow or
sickness for help and support-One
soothing touch of her kindly hand would
work wonders on the feverish child, a
few words let fall from her lips in the
ear of a sOrrOwing sister would do much
ts raise the load of grief which was
bowling its victim down to the dust IN
anguish. The husband comes home,
worn out with the pressure OF business
and feeling irritable with the world in
general; but when he enters the cosy
sitting room and sees the blaze of the
bright fire, his slippers placed by loving
hands i'm readiness, and meets his wife )
smiling face, he sucCumbs in moment
10 the soothing influences which act as
the balm of Gilead on his wounded
spirits, that are wearied with combating
with the stern realities of life, The
rough school-boy flies in a rage from
the taunts of his companions to find
solace in his mothers smile; the little
one, full of grief with its own large
trouble, finds heaven OF rest on its
mothers breast, and so one might go
on with instances of the influence a
sweet-minded woman has in the social
life with which she is cOnnected.-H.

Governor Shannon was never resi-

and resided there until attaining man s

He studied law in that place with Judge
Kennon, and always resided there lex
