Goldsmith, in a short and pretty preface
TO the Vicar of Wakefield. says;
There are hundred faults in this thing
and d hundred things might be said to

amusing with many errors or it may be
dull without single absurdity. The
hero in this story unites in himself the
three greatest characters on earth-thc
priest the husbandman and the father of
a family"
Strange that the author could write
such a charming story about the very
three characters he knew least about,
for re had no fitness fer nor experience
in either. 1t is not recorded that he was
ever in love or sought the company OF
virtuous young ladies. yet his ballad OF

verses in it that l can cry over now and
it does me good. 1t is a comfort to weep
over these sad, sweet things. Langhorn

babe at her breast hunting over the
battlefield of Minden for the body of her
husband. and when she found him she

Lovely Women.

Max O'Rell has given to the world the
following prescription for making a
beautiful woman:
rake the hair of Hindu.
The nose of Greek.
The mouth of the English.
The complexion of a German.
The height of Norwegian.
The feet of Chinese woman
The teeth of an African,
The arm of Belgian,
The leg of an Italian girl,
The eyes of a Spaniard.
The grace of French woman,
And you will have an American beauty.
