Having never seen Miss Murfree, tho
writer is unable to say anything about
her personal appearance, charm Of man
ner and all tho other things which make
up the budget of personalities in which
the public delights when an author is the
subject treated. Somebody described her
as ''the very pink Of culture in person and
manners" The same chronicler disposed
of the question of looks in these words:
while not positively beautiful, she has
a face that any man would like to look at
more than once" Then he goes on to say
that her features are not regular, her ears
and nose rather diversified; but taken alto
gether her face would attract attention.
When lady is written about in this apol-
ogetic manner one may be tolerably GER
tain that her beauty is not Of striking
order. Miss Murfree does not need beauty.
Again the standard Of beauty is chang
ing with the intellectual advance
ment Of the race. There are those
who can SEQ beauty in the noble but
unhandsome countenauce Of George Eliot.
Miss Murfree's eyes are described as large,
laughing and given to rejecting every
emotion as accurately as speech. Surely
q woman with beautiful and expressive
eyes can never be written down Us plain,
since true beauty, which resides In the
soul. is pictured in the expression, and
without expression there can be no
beauty.-New York Letter.

neighing always presaged victory to a

while the surface of fber Of wool Is i'm

thing from . fiber Of wool, and Q further
variation is noticed IN ths tact that hair
never curls in the way wool does. for hair
when 1t is curly at sl-curls in long,
wavy lines, and wool IN short, half circles,
which almost return intothemse1ves. Tho
texture Of wool Is also varied by fne
lines, from 2,O00 to 1000 in the inch, so,
by means of the microscope, wool may be
easily known from cotton or any other
animal OK vegetable fiber. Every kind Of

There have been times when, out Of twilight
shades
That time when sprites from shadowy coverz
stir,
And freiies flicker in the sheltered glades-
Sweet ghosts have come to me from days that
were.
The ghosts OF voices remember well;
The ghosts OF forms, the ghosts of faces dear,
The ghosts of those that, ever fitting, tell
To mine own ear the tales of days that were.
And what glory now-the days that were!
Far less, to me, the days that are to be.
Because they lead to where may not see;
And from the dark unknown there comes fear,
A nameless dread, a sense Of mystery;
There Is no dread in dreams Of days that were.
