The Gentle Jane Austen.

During her lifetime 80 modest and I'M
assuming was this gentle woman that few OF
of her readers knew even her name, and none
of them, to speak broadly, knew more than
that. She had the greatest dislike tor play
ing the role of literary lion, and once, when
her fame was fully established, wrote that
she was Enlightened" because strange lady
wished to be introduced to her.
IF am wild beast cannot help it!'
she declared. 1t is not my fault"
Although her works have always been the
delight of the cultured few the authors retir-
ing personality had its effect in shutting itself
away from the knowledge of men, and it was
full sixty years after her death that the first
memoir of her was published.
More than twenty years ago gentleman
visiting Winchester Cathedral asked verger
to show hin Jane Austen's tomb. The man
readily guided him to the slab of black mar
BILE, and the visitor stood for some time study
ing the inscription with keen interest. AS
he turned away his guide said, in an
apologize tone.
"Prsy, sir, can you tell me whether there
was anything particular about that lady ?
So many people want to know where she
was buried"
Yet the fame of her genius is every year
increasing, and her readers may be number
ed by hundred, instead of by the score, as
was formerly the case. She chose to be
first woman, then artist" and time has &C.
corded her an enviable renown in both char
acters.
The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1890-12-05
Character.

In order to show character in the face, one
must be willing to have lines breaking the
surface of the countenance One cannot
have song or story written on paper, and
yet have the paper as free from marks as be-
fore. Yet there are persons who actually
seek to obliterate from their faces the signs
of the little character they possess. They en-
ploy cosmetics for the purpose of making
their countenances smooth and fair at the
cost of destroying the proofs of any gain and
growth on their part in the direction of true
and noble beings. And there are photo
graphers who will finish up negative by fill
ing in the lines of character, 30 that the pic
tore of real man or q real woman is reduc-
ed to the semblance of q second-rate wax
figure in hair dresser's window. A fair
face is attractive in its way, but it is not to
be compared with fair fame. And when
the lines of age or of care are in a face, the
attempt to secure fair face, or q picture of
that face as if it were fair, must be at the cost
ofthe fair name which character gives to one
who has lived to purpose, and who has
gained the result of worthy living. Well
marked lines in the face are as precious as
well-written lines in manuscript. tits not to
the credit of any man, when it can be said of
him that the paper on which he writes is
worth more without his writing than with

The Philosophy Of Names.

"There is art in giving person good
name,' remarked gentleman recently.
Now" he went on, Sin giving child q name
one should remember that the family ap-
pendage is to survive for lifetime. Hence
see 10 it that the name is good and honest.
One should also consider how the name
would look in print. The initials should not
suggest anything ridiculous. If possible, do
not name child Robert Alfred Thomas
Smith. In this case the child's initials would
read R. A. T. S.-certainly not very edify-
ing spectacle in later years, when perchance,
Robert may turn out clergyman or politi-
clan. Another good suggestion is to have the
family and the surnames compromise each
other as to length. That is to say, if the
family name is short, such as Smith or Brown
let the first name be long, such as Alexander
or Benjamin. Alexander Smith or Benjamin
Brown are to be preferred TO John Smith or
Henry Brown. IT, on the contrary, the last
name is long, have the surname short. Allit-
Grafton also adds to the. grace and beauty of
a name, such as Fanny Fern, Lille Eangtry,
Grace Greenwood, Groggery Gregory Griggs,
etc. With the! application of few well
known but much abused principles, there ia
no reason why the most of us should not
have pleasing, if not harmonious, names.
