How to be Beautiful.
u -Arthur'S Home Magazine

From ArtitatT'S Home IHGgdzlne
One of the most fascinating wo-
men l ever saw was very homely,
but she had such a charming manner
that no one remembered that she was
plain. One OF the most beautiful had
prominent eyes, rather prominent
teeth, and altogether irregular tea
lures, yet no one could see her and
not recognize the fact that she was
beautiful; it was the beauty of a
lovely soul shining through and trans
figuring the whole.
l will give you a very short rule
tor being pretty-think prettily, act
prettily, live prettily. You can all
remember that; and the more you
think of it, the more you will see
how much is comprised in it. Be al
ways neat i'll you dress dress as
tastefully as you like or are able, but
dress appropriately to your form and
complexion, to the time and place,
and to your circumstances endeavor
TO have the different articles of your
attire in harmony with each other ;
there is far more in harmony and
appropriateness than in elaboration
and expensiveness. But the question

believe that some women consider
that any woman who is charitable,

THE FLORIDA AgRICULTURIsT.

True, little philosopher, and reason
ing on your line, man is superior in
mind or BRAN to the elephant and
the whale, for he has mach larger
brain in proportion to his size; and
SO with the dog compared with the
COW. But there are exceptions to
this rule for there are many birds
that, according to their size, have
larger brains than men; and a little
South American monkey, called the
"Ouisiti," weighs only twenty times
as much as his brain, while man
weighs more than thirty-six times as
much as his.
The brains of very ignorant men,
and even OF idiots, have been found
to weigh as much as the brains of
learned men, so it would seem that
it is not SO much the quantity as the
quality of man brain that makes
him sensible. Steel is worth more
than iron. Perhaps our brains are
like iron ore-if it lie idle it rusts,
but if it be made use OF, it becomes
polished. So, boys and girls, make
use OF your brains.

A Fraud III the Pulpit.

From the Lille Rock Gazette.
There has just been a more pro.
found religious sensation created by
a boy down in the bottoms, than has
ever resulted from the efforts of
Spurgeon, the liberal Mr.. Beecher, or
the oft-cartooned Talmsge. Several
weeks ago Oliver Herring, son of
Squire Herring conceived the idea OF
preaching to the colored people.
This, for boy of sixteen years old,
would have been a very creditable
idea, but for the fraudulent plan
adopted by the young self-appointed
evangelist. Among the few books
possessed by the Squire there was a
volume of sermons by Lorenzo Dow,
the celebrated cold timer" whose
oratorical pictures OF fire and sulphu-
rous sufocation has caused many
and many man to wend his way
through an excited congregation to
the mourners' bench. Oliver found
this book, and was Immediately
struck with the terrors of metaphor
and the horrors OF trope. eft l
could only commit a lot of these to
memory and preach to the colored
people" he said, "I'd soon bring the
plantation boys to their knees.
Hanged if l don't 90 it," With mis-.
chief born assiduity, the most sue.
cessful parent OF Juvenile application,
he began work. Possessed of re-
tentive memory, he was soon able to
repeaU sermon after sermon. A
sufficient depth OF Evolutionary &C.
ton was now to be attained. His
voice, naturally deep, was rendered
more intensely masculine by the
fact that Oliver had just arrived at
that embarrassing walk in life known
as the ''gosling age" Securing a
minstrel rig, and the necessary
amount of backing material, Oliver
saaaenced. himself as aheeledn for

element was created. The preachers
words burned their way into the
emotional cloisters OF the sinners
and lighted lamp there which, by
it's glare, showed the moral corrup'
ton of the past.
Another collection was taken up
for the aged mother and crippled
sister, and after the preacher had an
nounced that services would be held
on the next Sunday night, the con-
gregation, filed with the grandeur

lently parted in the shadow OF the
great cottonwood trees. Late that
night boy sat in his room.
"Over $780," he said, removing
his wig and preparing to wash the
burned cork from his face. "Ill be
blamed if l amt the boss. Old man
Dow didn't know what a service he
was rendering me when he arranged
that book of sermons"
On the following Sunday evening
the young preacher, thinking that in
quisitive deacons might arrive early
in order to ascertain the direction of
his approach, went to church before
dark. Having sat up very late the
night before, committing another
sermon to memory, he became very
sleepy. Thinking that it would be u
good idea to 90 up into the loft and
sleep until church time, he climbed
up, lay on the loosely arranged
boards, and went to sleep. The con-
gregation assembled, but the little
preacher did not come. Another
brother was called upon to "fill the
pulpit" While the "sub" brother
was in the midst OF a learned dis
course, the young preacher awoke.
He realized that he had "overslept
himself" He was contemplating a
plan of procedure when, unfortu-
nately, the urned over on the edge
of the boards. The boards tilted up
and with crash the young preacher
fell on the pulpit and then on the
floor among a lot of mourners. The
excitement was terrific. The dea.
cons yelled "devil" and rushed from
the house. The mournerS shrieked
and ran away. The young preacher
had lost his minstrel wig, and per-
spiration had taken much OF the
black from his face. Recognizing
the fraud, an able bodied mar

gan to whale the benches with him

of drawing dark pictures, but still |
the young male and female sinners
flirted with each other. Presently
small "darky" entered, and advanc-
ing to the pulpit, whispered some.
thing to one of the preachers, who
arose and said that new brother
would address the congregation.
There was an earnest depth in the
tone of his voice that caused the te-
male sinner to stop giggling behind
her fan. The preacher began draw
ing terrible picture of the sinner.
The devil stalked abroad in the land.
Sinners fitted here and there like
butterflies in the flower garden Of
society. Within fifteen minutes
from the time the new preacher be.
gan all OF the sinners were on their
knees. The Christians shouted and
the deacons walked around the half
agonized, half happy throng, as
though, they had suddenly received
a glorious commission direct from
ecclesiastical headquarters.
The young preacher, before clos
ing, announced that he would preach
in the same house on the following
Sunday night. He refused to go
home with any OF the colored breth>
ren, stating that mysterious provi-
sions would be made for him. "If,
however" he said, "any of you feel
like giving a few nickles to aid the
support of an aged mother and a
crippled sister, the donation will be
most thankfully received"
AS if by one impulse, every right
hand of every man went down into
pocket and came out with money
The hat was passed around, and
when the contents were handed te
the young preacher, he thanked the
congregation for such noble gener
osity.

IniudiclOus Women.
From Sa,urday Rerie,c.

From Saturday ReeieW.
A rude man who was told that a
certain lady was little injudicious,
asked his informant if he had ever
known a judicious woman. If such
a question were put to us, we would
reply that we knew not only judici-
GUS but over;judicious women. We
might even add that we know women
who are as wise as serpents, though
not as harmless as doves. But
whether women are always injudl-
Sous, or, as we maintain, something
the contrary, it must, we should think,
be generally admitted that they are
occasionally Jealous. When one lady
is Jealous Of another she instinctively
talks great deal about her, and the
general Drift OF her remarks under
such circumstances must be pretty
familiar to every one whose acqualnt-
anceship is not confined to the male
sex. 1t is certain that she will never
admit her jealousy, but beyond that
| there is no saying what observations
she may make about her enemy, nor
will she miss an opportunity OF say.
ing an unklnd word of her. She will
generally contrive, however, that
none of her weapons of attack shall
be SO damaging as her praise. She will
allow that her enemy is beautiful
beautiful as tigress-but she will
affirm that she is wicked; she will
admit that she is amusing, but she
will declare her to be ill-natured L
she calls her innocent she will also
call her silly, and if she praises hel
as true-hearted and trustworthy, she
stlgmatizes her as unsympathetic anc
uninteresting. If she begins by de
scribing her as clever, she goes on t.
hint that she is an infdel. II sh
praises her balls and her parties, sh
abuses her for being too fat or to-
thin, bad caller, or Roman Cath
, Ole. There are plenty OF other fault
, with which ladies accuse each othe
; behind their backs, such as inhosp
, tally, idleness, having odd people
to stay with them, frequently chang
ing their servants, and even tellin
