Grecian mythology tells that Vulcan,
the son of Jupiter aud Juno, and husband
of Venus, was so deformed and ugly that
Jupiter kicked him out of heaven into
the isle of Lemnos, where he set up a
smiths shop and forged thuuderbolts for
his father. While there is but little
credence to be put i'll the mythology of
the Greeks and Romans, it must be adj
mitted that ugliuess goes a great way, in
this world, in the formation of opinions
regarding persons unknown to US. Many
are judged by their physiognomy, some
times correctly, often the reverse. The
most beautiful people we have seen have
been the greatest frauds, and the biggest
devils Particularly is this the case in
women, though not always. A beautiful
face is not always an index to beautiful
soul or a beautiful character, but is likely
to be otherwise. Pretty people rely upon
their prettiness to carry them through
life, and are often imperious and over
bearing to such an extent as to render
themselves obnoxious to all with whom
they may come in contact. On the other
hand the ugly person knowing herself or
himself to be such is likely to be the very
opposite of the one Just mentioned. She
cultivates good disposition and tries to
excel in everything she does is pleasing
and consequently beloved by all. We
have known persons, whom upon first
sight we thought ugly and almost hideous,
who, after an acquaintance and associa-
ton, became in our eyes really good
looking. This change of opinion was
not brought about by any metamorphose
in the physiognomy of the persons, but
was induced by a further knowledge of
the persons. That sweetness of character
and lovable and obliging disposition
are worthy of admiration, and are adj
mired, is proverbia1. These graces will
change the contour of the form, they
will hide the hideousness of the counten-
ance, they will metemorphose the whole
person.
We admire pretty face but when we
find that behind that face there turks a
disposition of envy, moroseness and a
desire TO do injury to others, that coun-
tenance loses its enchantment, and be-
comes ugly on the contrary when we
see homely face, and upon acquaint-
ance become aware of the matchless
grace and beauty of soul that characterizes
Z the person; when we see the sweetness
OF disposition that appears to be natural,
and not borrowed, that face becomes
angelic. Other items now follow.
