This bit of good counsel is from
CasseUs Family Magazine for
April:
Are we then to do nothing to i'm
prove our appearance? it may be
asked. Must those Of us who are
naturally plain-looking, inelegant and
unattractive quietly accept the mis-
fortune, and take no steps to remedy
the evil? By no means. On tie
contrary, we ought to make the best
of ourselves. We have no right to
be spot Of ugliness on the surface
of the beautiful earth, when, by TAX
ing a little pains and exercising a lit
tie care, we might SO easily be, not
49, at least an
eye to rest
positive duty
devolylng upon Dotn men ana women,
and people who neglect it add to
the sum of discomfort in the world,
which is a most mistaken piece of
conduct. Besides, one advantage
connected with taking the right
methods of trying to look our best,
is that having done what we can, we
can dismiss the subject of our own
appearance from our minds, and need
think no more about it, which is
great comfort. People who follow
fashion have to be always changing,
they have never done, but the best
methods of preserving and attaining
beauty are always the same; they
never become obsolete. Once hav-
ing become accustomed to them, we
may follow them with advantage all
our lives.
In talking thus of aids to beauty,
we are not of course thinking of the
bes. sort of loveliness. When Jenny
Distaff asked her brother to tell her
the secret of being always beautiful,
be replied as follows: "Without hav-
ing recourse to magic, Jenny, ! will
give you one plain rule that will not
fail of making you always amiable
to a man who is of SO equal and rea-
sonable a temper as Tranqullus.
Endeavor to please, and you must
please; be always in the same dispo-
sition as you are when you ask for
this secret, and, you may take my
word, you will never want it. An
inviolable fidelity, good humor, and
complacency Of temper outlive ell
the charms of fine face, and make
the decay of it invisible" In the
same spirit, Mr.. Ruskin says: "Care,
anxiety, suspicion, bad temper, all
leave their wrinkles, and we are
doing good deal towards making
ourselves look old and ugly when We
give way to worry and fretfulness."

THE Prisoners PLEA.-One of
our young lawyers tells a good one
on himself. AT the last term of
the Court Judge Roney appointed
him to defend a negro who #as
"cuse er something concerning NV er
hog" The case was plain and the
negro was soon standing before his
honor for sentence, when the usual
question was asked if he had any
thing to say before sentence was
passed. His reply was, ''Nuthin'
much, boss, 'ceptin' l hope yer will
keep in mind de youngness NV my

According to the Chicago Tribune,
the total of reported defalcations in
this country during the last yea was
nearly twenty millions of dollars.
The Tribune believes that, if the
actual total could be arrived at, it
would amount to as much as twenty
FIVE millions, as, OF course, numerous
cases are compromised and hushed
up. OF course, this means an impair
ment of business confidence, which
in turn has its effect upon business
generally.
