Socrates and Beauty.

All visitors to the museums of Rome
become familiar with the busts of Soc
rates. Who does not recognize at first
glance the almost comic face with its
turnup nose and utter absence of the
slightest claim to good looks? We
cannot help smiling at it. and yet when
we think of the man the ugliness of
his face becomes pathetic. He wor-
SHIPPED beauty: his life was devoted to
teaching how life could be made har-
moniou1 in every way. and such nose
must. in spite of his philosophy, have
been a constant trial to him. His
prayer was: Grant me the beautiful
in the inner man and all have of out
ward things to be at peace with those
within. May count the wise man
only rich. and may my store of gold
be such as none but the good can
bear"
He counted material wealth without
wealth Of spirit mockery. and to have
outward beauty without inward beau
ty was to be an impostor All the
same. to have ones inward beauty so
denind by ones face must have been
very annoying, and our smile at Soc
rates may well be mixed with little
sympathy Herald
