ITS VARIETY.  1. its ethnic types. All the families of the human race may be divided into two great etbnin types, the blonde fin 1 the brunette. All the coloured peoples from the least tawny with dark hair and dark eyes to the most ebony are brunettes, Nearly all eastern and southern peoeles —nearly all who inhabit sunny lands—are brunettes. The blondes and the brunettes have their own geographical limits. We know where to find them, and so far as the latter is concerned. except in iudividual CRSE'S, they never wander out of brunette lands. In this hospitable country, however, the brunette and the blonde intermarry, an I all our bloo Is are mixed. Thus in the stme farnily'we have fair haired and fair eyed boy and a dark eyed and dark haired gi.l, which, of course, point back to the time when our aneeotors intermarried. The unho n Embryo dett•rrni nes for itself thromzh the operation of a mysterious law whether the blonde (-lament in its blood or the brunette will vre*ail. With as there are few real blondes or real brunettes, bectause of this intermarrying, so that most of our blondes have elements of the brunettes in them, an I rice verse. It is best so. The pure blonde is apt to be cold, reticent, reserved, and almost self contsined. Her beauty, though real, may have much of coldness in it. The brunette has volcanoes slumbering in her heart. All the elements of an overwhelming tragedy are there, and under given conditions the fires may come forth as flumes of a consuming, sublime and utter love, and they may i,sue as raging and roaring cent' Ignitions. Her lova is intense, unmeasured, sweeping all before it, Where ehe loves SOO Rives all. :the is prepared to be au thing. .10 anything, suffar anything for tee one she adores. He has her all, and hence the brunettes are mostly associated with the abduations, clandestine marriages. grad suicides and murders through j -arlousy. She gives all an I expects all, hence if her lover proves false. and she be in her own country, such as France, Italy, Spain, etc., her hatred will pursue Ohm to the death. The brunette lover has the s ma° ernetional traits as his lady love, an Ihe sel tom shrinks from the use of the deadly weapon when his love is thwarted. .  _ The question then arises—ought the blonde an i the brunette to intermarry if they are so differently constituted 1 Yes, if each party is willin. to study the ways of the other. The brunette must not consider her blonde husband col I, loveless, undemonstrative, and hence perhaps unfaithful ; nor must the blonde husband consider his brunette wife romantic, excitable, exacting. He must so far as he can catch her spirit and warm his own, and she will more than reward the most lavish love he can bestow on her. She has reserves of love and power he cannot even dream of, but all are tile, as the day da Nos when her resources are put to the severest proof. If his manner continues cold she may either droop away because of what she conceives to be unrsqlite,l love, or in a moment of despair she may desert her home with another who promises her warmer love. Do a husband's part and the probaoility is she will prove an angel of love to you All blonde nations are democratic at hisser. They are self-reliant —self-contained—self-controlled , and a tyranny they are sure to shake off. As Ruskin says ' Wherever there is snow there is freedom.' Northern peoples are best governed by and through themselves. Strange to say at least full brunettes almost seem to require something like an autocrat to govern them. They have always had to submit to an absolute monarchy, If brunettes like the French, secure freedom, they hardly know what to do with it. They have a change of ministry every year, and are always on the eve of a revolution. .Does that mean that even in slcial life it is beet to humour the blonde husband an I wife, and govern them by obeying them, and that it is best to mingle 3 shade of firmness with our indulgence of the brunet.e husband or wife? Yes, that would seem to be the deduction, Love just tinctured with wisdom is really the best way of managing all men and women.  (10 be eontimued.)
