"A THING OF BEAUTY IS A JOY
FOREVER."
There was 'in town yesterday, the
wife of a certain Dawson divine, a
woman of such singular beauty that
It Is safe to assert that those who
aaw her will carry her face
shrined in their recollections for mora
than tb? passing hour. Her beauty
waa not of the striking type, her feat
ures were not altogether classical.
Her beauty lay deeper than this; it
was in her wonderfully tender and
expressive eyes, her eager and sens
itive mouth, it was enhanced when
she spoke and you heard her soft, yet
vibrant, and well modulated tones. It
was the character that shone through
that Illuminated this woman's face
and made her wholly beautiful, a Joy
to look upon, a woman of a thousand.
We are all worshippers of the beau
tiful and we all have It within our
?elves to be beauUful-or the reverse.
The face to a certain extent, is the
photograph of the soul. No mar can
deeply think, or suffer, or love, or
bate without his emotions * tracing
themselves upon his faoe. Little by
little, day by day. the trend of our
thoughts is registered there, altering
the expression, showing the habits of
vice or dissipation: or else the coun
tenance Is slowly suffused under the
influence of some great determination
tome higher resolve.
Some of the homliest men of hist
ory have been most loved, loved for
themselves, because of the character
which they displayed, which outweigh
ed all irregularities of feature. Such
, one was Lincoln, for instance. De
spite his gaunt, gaucherie features,
who can think that face homely, ir
radiated as it is by the wonderful in
ward grace.
Unconsciously we Judge one anoth
er by swift glances, we form our first
estimates from anothers' face. Tin
man or woman is fortunate who has
a clear eye. a firm chin, a well mould
ed bror. who. though perhaps not
handsome, has a countenance be
i peaking strength of purpose, cleanll
of thought. It should be our
daily care so to live as to lay a foun
atlon for a character of calmness and
strength, of -sweetness and light.
So. in the inverse ratio. Is the man
or woman unfortunate who bear on
their features plain evidences of vice,
ot hypocrisy, of deceit, of weakness.
? Tor a thing beauty is a Joy for
ever." and John Keats hath also
poetically observed. "'Beauty is truth
truth beauty.' ? that is all Ye know on
earth and all ye need to know."
GARDEN SASS.
In the spring the town man's fancy
turns to thoughts of garden sass. and
he tolls with hoe and shovel, spoiling
all his nice green grass; and he
plants the seed9 of pumpkin and of
cabbage and of beans, and he has
?ome soothing visions of a mess of
early greens. In the spring the cow
grows reative, longing for some verd
ant grub; she is tired of eating saw
dust and old turnips from a tub; and
she sizes up the garden that the town
man loves so well, and she climbs th
fence at midnight ? and if would not
(to to tell what the town man says
when viewing all the ruin she has
wrought; type will sometimes melt
when printing language only half as
hot. But when rain succeeds sun
shine, and the mercury is low; the
afflutus lea%>8 the rhymster who Is
loth to let it go.? Walt Mason.
> THE ESCAPED CONVICT.
Does eicape from the penitentiary
mean liberty? On the contrary, the
lot of the criminal who Is working
out his sentence behind the bars Is
blissful compared with that of the
fugitive from justice, who finds him
self with Nemesis always on his track
and with the assurance of a safe asy
lum nowhere. ? Pittsburg Chronicle
Telegraph.
A great sorrow at one stroke pur
chases a redemption frotn all petty
troubles: it sinks nil trivial annoy
ances into nothingness and grants
the man life- Ions freedom from all
petty, corroding cares. His feel
ings have been sounded to their
depths ? the plummet has touched
bottom. ? Elbert Hubbard.
In the condnct' of life habit counts
for more than maxims, because habit
is a living maxim become flesh and
instinct. To learn new habits Is
everything. It is to reach the sub
stance of life. ? Ainiel.
Taft has thoroughly "white washed'
Bollinger and supported him in his
controversy with Pinchot. One by
one the Roosevel* policies are bein^
laid away on the shelf.
Despise not prophesyings. ? Thessa
