Early 0li,ppses Of Frsmo.s

II shall never forget the frst time saw
John C. Fremont said . pedestrian on
Broadway in New York tho other day.
st was soon after his nomination as the
0rst candidate Of the Republican party
In 1854 An immense and enthusiastic
crowd, wearing widsawake capes aud
bearing torches, gathered in front Of the
house In which he was staying. and
which, unless I am mistaken, was in
Twelfth street, just west Of Fifth avenue.
Freme ns and Jessie appeared on the bal
eony. and when We caught sight Of the
romantic couple. in the light OF the fam.
ing torches, they seemed to be the ideal
specimens Of manly vigor and womanly
grace. We rent the cir with our plaudits,
and our salutations were returned by the
twain. who looked supremsly happy.
Wherever Fremont went he was the hero
without parallel at that time, but now
he walks through the crowded streets,
wholly unknown to the surging multi.
tudes."

THE GOLDEN GATE.

They had entered the thorny wilderness an
The golden gates OF their childhood had forcvs
closed behind them.-IMH on The Floss.
The golden gate stand beside

With rubies rare whose radiant CLEANS
Reflect the yellow sunlight's beams.
Alas. / wait
With longing eyes outside the gate.
see the garden through the bars;
The roses blush, the iessamine stars
Shine out against SKY Of green;
The poplars show their silver sheen.
Icry to Fate:
rope thou for me the golden gate
1t seems but yesterday tripped
Those dewy paths child who dipped
Her face mid roses born in May;
All, me. that now were yesterday!
Now it grows late,
And locked against me is the gate.
A poppy's crimson lips have stopped
To kiss white rose meath her dropped
The kiss OF Life on marble Death,
But Death hath far the sweeter breath.
She lies in state,
Will she be turned from out the gates
Oh. am tired, travel-worn,
Heartsick and sad, with garments torn,
] stand and bark the sound that stirred
My soul OF ycre-a hooking bird
Unto its mate
Sings gaily DER the golden gate.
Within that garden. how I sang.
The meadows and the woodlands rang
With childish music, now, alas.
The summer breczes, as they pass,
With bliss elate.
Watt weary signs across the gate.
Against the bars beat my hands,
'Forbear,'' the voice of Fate commands.
The years have thrust you from this place
Ii nevermore can see your face"
Cold hinges CRATE.
In sorrow bowed leave the gate.

CAUSE OF BEAUTY.

A South African Editor Tells what Makes
Woman Appear Lovely.
An Arab poet tells us that q beauti-
full woman should have these things:
Black-Hair. eyebrows, eyelashcs and pupil
White-Skin, teeth and globe ofthe eye.
Red-Tongue. lips, gums. cheeks.
ROund-Hcad, neck, arms, ankles, waist.
Lone-Back, fingers, arms. hmbss
Large-Forehead, eyes, lips.
Narruw-Eyebrows, nose, lips.
F1eshy-Cheeks, limbs.
Smali-Ears, bust hands, feet
We will not discuss the taste of this
Arab poet, but ray remark that all
the white. red. round and fleshy at
tributes required to form his plea of
beauty are purely and simply the re-
Election Of physical health. Health

on the contrary. dries and discolors
the skin. produces wrinkles makes
the face yellow. and spoils tho color
of the teeth. hair and nails. The ccle.
brated Dr. Won Fcuchtcrslebcn says
that Health is nothing but beauty in
the functions of life"
A French author (Balzac) onco
called ugliness ~ grief which lasted
a lifetime" But he did not often
know the all-powerful force of ny.
gicne in the cultivation and prcserva.
ton Of physical beauty. What is per-
haps the greatest attribute of beauty
is beautiful skin. Tho skin should
be white, smooth. soft and fresh col
ored. A beautiful skin alone is often
sufficient to make woman beautiful

says: Tho most regular beauty
could never charm me il freshness.
purity and brilliancy of complexion
did not cnlivcn it by adding the ra.
diarcy of youth and health" In fact
the complexion is to beauty what
spring-time is to naturc-what the
bloom is to the peach-what the varied
iints are to tho wings OF the
butterfly. But rs the smallest cloud
can darken spring morning.
as the co tact with another object can
remove the bloom Of the peach. and
touch can spoil the beauty Of but
terfly's wing, SO tho slightest derange-
mcnt. either Of mind or body. darkens
and troubles the complexion. and
without constant care this freshness
and this purity which make the power
of beauty become like faded flower.
The preservation and cultivation of =
skin Is. therefore. one Of our
first duties
Let me warn all ladies from wishing
to appear different to what nature has
made them; that is. let no lady who
has beautiful dark hair attempt to dye
it yellow. Just because it is yellow
hair. and dark haired ladies are quite
rs much admired rs fair ladies. Nav.
shalt tell you a secret. ladies? Sta
tistics tell us that more dark hairesl
women marry than fair-haired women!
Beauty is not nodded in one form. It's

no two types are exactly alike. Cope
