BEAUTY.
An Essay. but Very Short and Very
Much to the Point.

An Essay. but Very Short and Very
Much to the Point.
Beauty is only skin Deep" What's
the sense in that saying? What good
would it do a person to be beautiful
say, for an inch in depth? He wouldn't
know it unless he was skinned. More
over, beauty is not to be measured
with pocket rule; it is an definite
sort of quality that needs a new def
milton each time it is found "What is
beauty?" asked belle of her circle of
admirers. "What all women think
they possess" answered the cynic.
"Ask your mirror" said the French
man. But the philosopher replied:
"1t is that which every lover sees in
his sweetheart whether she possesses
it or not" He was right. How many
times we have said, while passing a.
homely woman, "What on earth did
Mr.. X-ever see in her? She's as
homely as a rail fence" Not to him,
though.
We know how it is ourselves. When
we were young and susceptible we met
girl whose appearance made us very
sick. She was short, and we liked
tall girls. Her mouth was of the pie
order, while the rosebud variety mad
always taken our fancy. Lastly, she
had lisp that sounded likean escape
valve. Well, we don't know how it
happened, but we fell in love with her,
and all her imperfections Immediately
vanished. We found that her head
just reached the right place on our
shoulder, SO her height, or "lowth,"
was ell right. Then, her pastry mouth
enabled us to kiss without knocking
noses. That's one awful bother with
straw berry lips. AS for the lisp, we
thought it the cutest thing in tho
world, and tried to cultivate one our
self, but our employer asked if we had
been buying some new misfit teeth,
and we desisted.
We don't believe that everyone
thinks himself handsome. but we do
believe that everyone wishes to be.
Theophrastus called beauty "a silent
cheat" and Theocritus says it is ga
serpent covered with flowers" We
don't recall the personal appearances
of these gentlemen, but we are willing
to wager large sum that their pict-
ures never graced a photographer
showcase. Homely persons are al
ways saying that beauty is snare,
just because they can't snare any of
it themselves.
One popularity of extremely beauti-
full or handsome persons is that they
are seldom noted for anything except
their looks. Who ever thinks of
beauty of feature, orlack of it, in con-
nection with Washington or Lincoln?
Idon't care to give examples of the
women. The minds that guide the
progress OF the world make their own
ers far superior to any physical
charms. That's where we come in.
We wouldn't be handsome for any
thing.

and perhaps in no direction have greater

science. Diseases that until recently were
pronounced by the highest mdaical
authority to be incurable, are now found
modern medical skill. This statement ne IS
amply borne out by the article appearing

A DOG HURT WITH JEALOUSY.
The Affection OF Husband and Wife
too Much for Him.

The Affection OF Husband and Wife
too Much for Him,
That dogs are affectionate is uni
versally allowed, and that they are
Jealous no observer can doubt; but
that a dog may show true philosophy
in accepting a hard situation is occa-
sionally proved. .,..-.
A young man had for some time
owned dog which was his constant
companion. Recently, however, he
married, and moved with his wife and
dog into q house on the opposite side
of the street from his fathers house,
his old home. +.
The dog was not happy, for atten-
tions that had once been his own were
now given to the young bride. His
master tried to reconcile him to the
altered state of affairs, and the bride
endeavored to win his affection, but he
constantly showed his displeasure and
misery.
One day the master came home and
sat down, putting his arm about his
wife. Jack was lying by the FIRE, and
made the usual exhibition of his dis
approval.
"Why, Jack" said hismaster, tsthis
is all right. She is a good GIRL" and
as he spoke he patted his wife's arm.
Jack looked up at him, turned away
and left the room. In moment they
heard a noise, and going into the hall
found him dragging his bed down
stairs. He reached the front door and
whined to be let out. The door was
opened and he dragged the bed down
the steps and across. the street to his
old home, whore he scratched for ad-
mittance. Since then he has never
returned to his master, and has re-
fused all overtures toward reconcilia-
ton.

THE GLITTER OE' THEIR BUCkLERS.
You hear the paving OF their charg-

heard the shout of their great captain,
and at the armies of the living God
they hurl their defiance. They come,
not in numbers like the hosts of SEN
nacherib, but their multitude is like
the leaves of the forest, and the sound
of their voices like the thunder of the
sea. Mailed in Hell's impenetrable
armor, they advance with the waving
of their banners and the dancing of
their plumes. Their ranks are not
easily to be broken, for the batteries
OF Hell will open to help them and ten
thousand angels of darkness mingle in
the fight. Where are the chosen few,
who will throw themselves into the
