SIGHTS IN FINLAND.

Whore Women and Girls Act rs Postboys
and Even tho Hogs Arc Clean.
Our postboys invariably carry three
or four rings of bread and some hay in
the cart to feed their horses at the end
of their stage before going back. At
some of the stations we found no men
at home. The women would bring out
the cart, send lad to the field (or go
themselves) for the horse, and hitch
it up, and twice women were our post
boys, but generally We had bright
little fellows from ten to twelve years
old and few times little girls The
weather was showery while we were
posting. and we thus lost considerable
time. l employed it in speering
about and writing. Travel in Fin
land is ridiculously cheap in the in
terror. A horse and cart, holding us
two and our light baggage, cost sixteen
pennies verst, or little under five
cents mile. A run of ten miles
would take about an hour and a
half. 1t really did us good to see the
real pleasure We afforded when we
gave our little post-boys and girls a
hallmark. or ten cents, at the end of
their stage. At the farm-hOuses or
post-stations where we spent nights We
would have good beds. a supper on
bacon and raw fish, rye bread. and
Swedish hard bread (delicious), and as
delightful milk, cream, butter and
clabber as one ever ate: and in addi-
ton to these very good coffee and
sometimes eggs for breakfast And
the whole for two of us cost from sew
enty cents to one dollar. The travel
ers' rooms at the post-houses were de-
lightfully clean-one or two with strips
of carpet, others strewn with sweet fir
twigs
Then, too, the little ow-headed chill
dren were SO good-natured and two or
three pet hogs invariably grunted un-
der our windows with sort of squeal
for crust. The hogs, by the way,
were always clean and really not bad
pets. We had always beautifully curled
tailed sort of dogs to keep US company.
One stayed with US forty-eight miles.
He had the most Observation-Disclosures
curled tail ever saw. 1 think he rec
ognized us as free-born Americans,
and wished to 60 home with us. He
was evidently well-known at the differ
ent stations.

Some build rather upon the
abusing of others. and putting tricks

Worry not about the possible
troubles of the future; for if they come.
you are but anticipating and adding to
their weight; and if they do not come.
your worry Is useless.

"A man who dwells on failure with

Sympathy is both the forerunner

study of any character which is wort h

are in sympathy with such character,
We can never understand it; and only
as we understand it can we have full

Many people know how to do this

The good old proverb, "a stitch in

fairs in general, because every thing
under the farmers care is in continual

cause of the neglected very little things

BEAUTY IN WOMEN.

A Lecture to Moralists Who Are AlWaA
Objccting to Good Looks.
''For good or evil the power Of z
woman's smile is very great" says the
author Of 1.-The Five Talents Of
Woman" in that clever book pub
lished by the Scribners. 1T is the
outward and visible sign Of q talent
of pleasing which she has received to
enable her to be an influence for good
in the ordering and government of the
world. Men are very mach vha6
women make them. and II is y rightly
using their talent Of pleasing that
women can make men W nat <hoJ ought
to be. The man at the he'd Of the
house can mar the pleasure Of tho
household, but he can ~st make It;
that must rest with the Woman. and IL
is her greatest privilege. 1t a one Of
the duties Of women to beautify. 70
ornament the world. and especially
their own homes and thcir own per-
sons. to arrange the furniture and
ornaments of her rooms tastefully and
generally to give touch Of seemliness
to that part of the world with which
she has to do.
when a woman does not please shA
fails to do the work for which she was
created. And how is she to pleasa
BY the beauty Of her body. her mind
and her conduct. including manner AMI
temper. We have never been able to
see why moralists should bear
grudge to good looks. With Mr..
Herber Spencer, We think that the
saying that beauty Is but skin-deep I
but a skin-deep saying. 1t is the in
tention Of nature that physical beauty
should have the power Of attracting
admiration. She meant it to be .
guide to the desirability. 80 far a
race preservation is concerned, Of any
man or any woman as a partner in
marriage. A fine form, q good figures
beautiful bust, q round arm and neck,
q fresh complexion. lovely face. are
all outward and visible signs Of the
physical qualities that, on the whole,
conspire to make up healthy and
vigorous wife and mother.
'Talleyrand once said Of q lovely
woman that beauty was her least
charm" A good humored face IL in
itself almost pretty. A pleasant smile
half redeems unattractive features.
Intelligence and goodness are almost
as necessary as health and vigor to
make up our idea Of beautiful human
face and figure. The perfect loneliness
of q woman's countenance can only
consist in that majestic peace which r
founded in the memory Of happy and
useful years Of sweet records,
and the hope OF better things to b
won and to be bestowed-promises -
sweet"
