The Beauty of Badness.

A great change has taken place of late
years with regard to the estimation in
which badness is held. Fifty years ago
II was viewed as a serious infection. a mis-.
fortune to be concealed by wig or velvet
Skull cap. In some cases, no doubt, the
wig was intended to deceive, and to give a
juvenile appearance to its wearer. In the
majority OF cases, however, the covering
was so plainly artificial that it was clearly
adopted, not from a motive of vanity, but
simply to hide an unpleasant object from
the eyes of the world. Of late years, how.
ever, partly, it would appear, from the
habit OF wearing boards having come into
fashion, badness is far more common than
it used to be. 1t may be that nature fur.
nishes to each human being a suficiency of
what may be called hair ointment to sup.
port the average quantity of hair, and that
when men allow their boards to grow they
do so to the detriment Of the natural cover
ing of the scalp. Certain it is that a large
proportion of men with boards begin to
grow bald at an abnormally early age.
Hitherto, however, they have, when ques-
toned, been willing to allow that they re.
garded the lack of hair as a drawback to
their personal appearance. They will now
be inclined to take higher ground, for the
British Medical journal tells us that in a
lecture on badness Professor Fouriner says,
"There is nothing ridiculous or malformed
about it, and it confers upon the physiog.
nomy an expression of wisdom, experience
and venerability. 1t adapts itself marvel.
ously to certain heads which would be
deformed by wig, and is the severe beauty
represented in sculpture by the classic head
of Eschylus." This is consolation indeed.
Henceforth let man bow before the severely
beautiful; let there be an end of the use of
unguents and oils, and let depilatories
take their place upon the toilet table. Let
the thoughtless and giddy keep the hair on
their heads, but let all who value the pos.
session of the severe beauty of Eschylus
get their heads as bald as billiard ball
without an instant's delay.-LOHdon Stan
dard.

How a Poem Crews

In the May-iime of that year (l789) an
incident occurs, which the poet thus de.
scrbes,
Zone morning lately, as | was out pretty
early in the fields, sowing some grass.seeds,
! heard the burst Of a shot from neigbor,

nelghboring farmer. Burns cursed him,
and being near the NTH at the time,
threatened to throw him into the river.

for his feelings in the following Illness

And blasted be thy understanding eye!

The bitter little that of life remains:
No more the thickening brakes and verdant

To thee shall home, or food or pastime yield.

No more of rest, but now thy dying bed
