"wheat and Chaff."

"Wheat and Chaff."
We are indebted to our friend John
]. Cornwell, of Romney, for a copy of
the verses and fragments Of writings
of his lamented brother, the late
Marshal S. CornweH, which have
been compiled in an attractive little
volume entitled Wheat and CHAT.
Marshal Cornwell was a gifted man
he sang songs of sweetness and
purity-and his long and patient
struggle against Death, or, rather, his
calm awaiting Of the closer and closer
approach of the dissolution of earthly
ties, was one of the bravest and most
pathetic things we have ever known.
We shall treasure this little volume
as a remembrance Of one Of earth g
true philosophers.

BEAUTY OF ROMAN WOMEN.
Peculiar Typs, Unlike That Which Is Distinctive Of
The North.

Northern beauty. however fine says
a writer I'm Harper's Magazine, may be
the line of It's contour. is never. for good
or evil. mere beauty of the body a
thing beginning with itself and ending
with itself: il contains always sug-
gestion; it is haunted by a soul; 1t
leaves for it's complexion something 70
the imagination. But in the beauty of
Roman women. there is no trace OF
spiritual beauty, none or the softness OF
charm: IL is the calm. assured, unques-
tioning beauty Of .resh. There are faces
which should be seen always In pure
outline, for they are without melting
curves. delicate and variable shades OF
any OF that suggestion which comes
from anything but their own definite
qualities, as they are IN themselves.
The faces OF Roman women OF the up
per classes are cold. hard. finished and
impenetrable as canoes. In a face
which is at all beautiful YOU will not
find a line which IN not perfect. and
this elegance and sureness OF line goes
with that complexion which is the fin
est of all compile xions-pure iyory-and
which carries with IL the promise OF a
temperament in which there is all the
subtasty OF fire. The distinction be-
tween the properly aristocratic and the
strictly plebegan face lis. I think. less
marked in Rome than i'm any city. AL
most all Roman women have regular
faces. the profile clearly cut and i'm

deep tones OF blue in il and some times
curling crisply; dark eyes. often OF n
fine uniform brown: large. steady. pro-
