ANGSLIO TAM  1. The beamiaq.—eSome faces are full of sunshine, Night never settles on them. They are rarely clouded, shadowed, shaded. They beam and glow and radiate, They are sunny, and it is nearly always summer time with them. They carry day, sunshine and cheeriness wherever they go. They are thus fit for either the single or the married life, for they inspirit, exhilarate, and reloicie all with their buoyant spirits and blithe heart. Handel used to say to his discouraged colleagues when the audience was very small, " Well, newer mind, the music will sound better in an empty house." The hopeful man bees comfort in all events however dark. lhese young women always metaphorically put cotton in their ears against all gossip and wan. dal. They know the Oath, they love the truth, and they live the truth, and having nothing to conceal, their face is open and beaming. An Irishman vowed Wet be would commit suicide or perish in the attempt. His etlooollll was assured. There's is a ministry of brightness, ant happy is the man who has a bright girl, for his friend, his companion, or his wife. 2. It is fragraat.—Two very learned men were eagerly disouseing some interesting problems in 'philosophy after whioh they sallied forth to shoot ducks. At lanath they arrived at the lake, and as they were about to wade into the water they discovered that they had come sway without thier shooting boots, so they could go no farther and a good shot offered itself, and one sportsman shouted to the other, "fire," when both men just discovered that they had actually come without their weapons. The discussion drove everything else out of their heads. Now there are women w;lose fragrant factas, manners, ways and tone make you forest all about your troubles, fears an anxieties. While you are in their presence all is forgotten but themselves. In that way they give rest to the fevered brain, pestle to the troahled heart sad reoreation to the tired body. Their presence in society Is like a rioh odor, a gracious internee, a reviving perfume and a grateful fragranoe. Wherever they are, they are as ointment poured forth, and you see all that in their very faoes. Their facie is as the taus of an angel, and they are wall-natued—." angels "—for they are truly angels to those who come under the Koh spell of their influence. 3. /t is rellsed.—What refinement is marked and revealed in some faces I The forehead, the eyes, the eye-brows, the otieeks, the nose, the lips, and the chin all b3seeak rare culture of soul and mind. Even rough men feel that In that presenoe they really must put on their best behaviour. They restrain their tongue, they control their acts, they watch their attention, not because anything is said to them, or because any look of reproach is thrown at them, but simply because of the awe inspiring and gracious Wane° of that holy presence. Some faces unconsciously bat decidedly invite liberties, and others as usconsolously and as decidedly forbid even the unrighteous thought and Noting. Such a face as that is invaluable to the woman herself, and it is a holy ministry to others wherever she goes. She cannot but be a ministering angel. It was piety, deep and real, welch made Stephen's fates shine like that of an angel, and piety alone will give a woman a heavenly face, Such are some of the female faoes;whioti we have Me in our way through life. Strive daily to have that face which, whether pretty or ravishing or no, has mach of grace, love, hopefulness, and heaven in It. Such a face is within the reach of even the plainest looking woman. Get it 1 It is truly a heavenly and priceless treasure to be coveted by our whole hearts. The next lecture" Wits and Humorists."  ':`Z•
