A WOman's Smile.

For good or evil the power Of o womane
smile is great 1t is the outward and visible
sign Of a talent of pleasing, which she has re-
ceived to enable her to be an influence for
good in the ordering and government of the
world. Men are very much what women
make them, and it is by rightly using their
talent of pleasing that women can make men
what they ought to be. The man at the head
of the house can mar the pleasure Of the
household, but he cannot make il; that must
rest with the woman, and it is her greatest
privilege. 1t is one of the duties Of women
TO beautify the world, and especially their
own homes and their own persons; to arrange
the furniture and ornaments Of their rooms
tastefully, and generally 10 give a touch Of
seemliness to that part Of the world with
which they have to do: To shed Joy, to radi-
to be the golden thread of our destiny, the
spirit of grace and harmony--is not this 70
render O service? Here and there we meet
one who possesses the power Of enchanting
all about her; her presence lights up the
she passes by, and we are content; she stays .
while, and we are happy. She is the Aurora
with a human face.
In New Zealand cemetery on gravestone
is to be found, with the name and age Of the
dead. the words, ''She was so pleasant What
delightful character she must have been TO
have an epitaph like thatl 1t makes one think
that a choir Of nightingales is perched upon
her grave and singing melodious chants TO her
memory.
..She was 90 pleasant that friends used to
come first 10 her in seasons Of sorrow and
sickness for help and comfort; one soothing
touch Of her kindly hand worked wonders
in the feverish child; few words let fall from
her lips in the ear Of a Borrowing sister did
much to raise the load Of grief that was bow
husband would come home worn out
with the pressure of business, and feeling
irritable with the world in general, but when
he entered the coy sitting-room, and ssv
the blaze Of the bright fire and met the smil-
ing face of this sweet-minded woman,
he would succumb in q moment TO the
soothing influences which were like balm Of
Gilead to his sinking spirits. The rough school
boy fed in a rage from the taunts Of bis COM
panions to find solace in his mothers smiles;
trouble, found haven Of rest on her breast.
All these and many others who felt the power
of her woman's smile, mourn for her now that
she has gone, because .-she was % pleasant"
