PHYSICAL BEAUTY.
Personal Charm More Powerful Than
Handsome Features.

Personal Charm More Powerful Than
Handsome Features.
There are some men to be met with
who frankly admit that their wives
are ugly, and even here and there d
wife who agrees that her husbands
judgment is correct. But, as a rule,
every man considers his own choice
the best. and where there are fifty
minds there will be fifty ideas of what
constitutes physical beauty. We all
know and admit that personal charm
and mental accomplishments can
transform plain face into a hand
some one, and the lack of them de-
prive a woman with the countenance
of Greek statue of the beauty which
at first sight struck the eye. It
is notorious that the women
over whom men ''play the foor'
are often far from pretty. Not infre-
quently the belle of an Indian station
is the ugliest girl within fifty miles,
and the women round whom half the
men on board ship on a long voyage
flutter is very often by no means the
beauty of the quarter deck.
Nina D'Enclos. who had lovers after
she was seventy, does not seem to have
been great beauty. Nor, if we are
to judge from some of the portraits of
Mary of Scotland, was that siren, with
whom, as Lord Beaconsheld used to
say, men fall in love till this day. by
any means strikingly beautiful. The
dangerous women" of history have
seldom been beauties. Nature is full
of compensations. The reigning
belle is too often silly, or, over
estimating the destinations of her
face, does not take the trouble to
be amiable. On the other hand, the
plain woman, knowing that she is
handicapped at the start, does her best
to compensate for her ill-favoredness
by attractiveness of manner, and in the
end generally wins in the race.
John Wilkes, who was the ugliest
man of his day, was in the habit of
Boosting that he would give the hand
soonest man of England half an hours
start of him, and GUST him early in the
running. There is, in truth, no ac-
counting for taste. DIR. johnson al
ways spoke of the painted and affected
widow, whom he married in the hey
dey of his youth as "a pretty Great
ure," and even Joe Gargery, in one OF
the most delightful of Dickens novels,
was willing to believe that Pip's mas
culine sister was "a fine figure of
woman."-London Globe.

Harry asked with quivering lip.

he sprang from his seat and laid his hand

Harry flung him aside. and turned to face
the mans friends who had leaped to his as
sistance. Quick as he was, he could not
avoid blow which cut cash in his lip, but
he returned the insult with interest, as his
stunned assailant who lay at his feet knew
to his cost.
At that moment the door was broken

Harry, with his high notions of honor, did
not suffer the most; for loss of self-esteem
to high-spirited young man like him
meant bigger punishment than the other
endured
Chatterton's rage against him was fu
rious; and. before he left the camp, he
swore to be AVENGED on him-aye, though he
had to SWING for It.
Too well he kept his word.
Meanwhile Gordon Grey was full of re-
morse and penitence. 1t is true that he
had recovered his notes, but at what
cost? The peace of mind of his best friend.
Moreover, his position was not pleasant

he was stripped of his sword All this was
very grievous to Grey, who could never
sufficiently reproach himself for his inor-
dinate folly.

SENATORIAL VERSES.


New Version of ..Mary's Little Laml
Produced by Senator Vance.
Our Mary had a little lamb,
And her heart was most intent
To make its wool beyond its worth.
Bring Sc per cent.
But pauper girl across the sea
Had one small lamb also,
Whose wool for less than half that SUM
She'd willingly let go.
Another girl who had no sheep
Nor stockings-wool nor fax
But money just enough to buy
A pair without the tax,
Went to the pauper girl to get
Some wool to shield her feet,
And make her stockings, not of fax,
But both of wool complete.
When Mary saw the g rrs design
She straight began to swear
Shed make her buy both wool and tax
Or let one leg go bare.
So she cried out: protect reform!
Let pauper sheep wool free.
II it will keep both her legs warm
What will encourage me:''
So it was done, and people said
Where e'er that poor girl went
One leg was warmed with wool and one
With SO per cent.
Now. praise to Mary and her lamb,
Who did this scheme invent,
To clothe one-half a girl in wool
And one-half in per cent.
All honor. too, to Mary's friend,
And all protective acts,
That cheaply clothe the rich in wool
And wrap the poor in tax.

OF course, Winthrop knew nothing OF

CHAPTER VII.

'sHow grand, how glorious! All, this is
wari''
1t was the third day of the terrible battle
of Gettysburg and-the speaker was Gordon
Grey. Meade had succeeded Hooker.
And the sight was indeed thrilling. By
Lees command two hundred guns belched
forth their volleys on Cemetery Ridge, and
for two mortal hours the air was thick with
shrieking shells. Their the deafening can
nonade lulled, and the Confederates poured
from the woods in double line of battle over
a mile long. with sklrmishers lowering on
their front. Even the Union ranks could
scarce forbear cheer of admiration, as
silently, and with splendid steadiness, that
magnificent column of eighteen thousand
men moved up the slope. A hundred guns
tore great gaps in their ranks, and still they
advanced with Spartan fortitude. Infantry
volleys smote their front, yet they pushed
forward-nay, they even bayoneted the can
nonecrs at their guns and planted their flags
on the breastwork. Then upon this strug-
Cling mass the Federals convcrged on every
side. No human endurance could stand the
storm, and Lees ranks fell broken and
shattered, like forest trees swept by the
blast of the tornado.
1t was night.
From a clear sky the stars looked down
on the blood-stained slopes of Gettysburg,
Wnerc lay forty thousand cOrpScS, silent
witnesses of the three days carnage.
Nine hours had Harry Winthrop been in
the saddle; well had he borne himself in
charge and pursuit; but, while his surviv-
ing comrades had flung themselves to rest
on the beaten sward, there was no rela1a-
ton for him, for the roll had been called, and
among the missing was Gordon Grey.
With feverish anxiety the young officer
crossed and recrosscd the battlefield,
searching for his friend among the count
less bodies that lay there. Already fatigue
parties were abroad burying their deed
comrades by torch-light, and of these he
earnestly inquired if the Michigan lad was
among the number of their slain.
All in vain, till at last in tho dawn of the
morning success seemed to crown his
efforts.
"Some of your fellows" said a grizzled
sergeant, lie over yonder, and there is
just such a youngster as you describe
among them"
81 must see for myself" Harry said, with
determination. "Say, Sergeant, will give
you and your men fifty dollars to uncover
the grave of the boy you speak Of"

knew would right royalty fulfill the trust.
Still the days crept by and no CLEAN of
light came to penetrate the mystery.
Once, it is true. he thought he was on the
eve of discovery. He had been talking
with number of officers, and had just
babe them adieu and was fastening to his
quarters, when one of them, a Major Nc
Donald. hurried after him and said:
lone moment, Captain Winthrop, if you
please. Have you any objection to showing
me the links of that watch-chain you found
on the spot of poor Barclays murdera"
'!None in the least,' Harry said, as he
drew 1t from his pocket.
The Major scanned it narrowly and his
face flushed.
'Do you recognize it:' Winthrop asked,
eagerly.
Il certainly do" was the sharp response.
''The pattern is the fac-simile of one I
bought at Constantinople I gave it to my
nephew, Willie Mckenzie"
"Your nephewr'
'sOh, don't let that arouse the detective
in you,'' the Major replied with laugh.
for though Willie is not one of your psalm
singing youngsters and may be a little too
industrious in sowing his wild oats, he is
quite beyond the suspicion of homicide, let
alone cold-blooded MURDER
'iStill he may

terrupted severely, for he was piqued at
Harry's persistence. "He can prove the
clearest alibi, for he was used up by gun
shot wound and was invaded home two
months ago"
"Oh, sir, you misunderstood me-" Harry
explained. 81 meant that he might have
disposed of it, or lost it, orr
Not 1il,e1v Willie ia not one tn oriv6

day, and he would have been sure to have
alluded to the fact if it had IN any way got
out of his possession, for he priced the bau-
ble."
a can well understand that, Major. Then
I suppose we are to assume that two chains
of the same pattern have reached this side
of the Atlantic
''Yet that seems highly improbable" the
Major confessed, 90 for the turbulent keeper
of the bazar, who had head like patri-
arch's, swore by all the prophets that it had
no duplicate, and it was absolutely for its
quaint and unique design that Twas tempted
to buy it."
"Well, will you do me the great favor to
write to your nephew and ask him if the
chain is still in his possession:" Winthrop
pleaded.
"Why, yes, if you desire it; but, con-
found the thing, wish / had never men
toned the chain to you. However, if it will
be of any satisfaction to you, l will do so,
though [ am positive of the nature of the
answer 1 shall receive; so do not be build
ing any castle in the air on such a trumpery

And Harry did not, for he had read
enough of the wiles of Turkish bazar-keep-
ers to place little reliance on the merchants
