Withj regard to the proper combinations! of

neither of these statements i "jexresseCfully the
true law of selection. The end' tb.be aimed at
is harmonyj! There can be no liarmony.without
a difference; but there ma be diflerenqeitho.ut:
.harmony, p j It isnotl because la womap; is iike?a
man that he loves herj but because she is unlike.

which attract bimthe'persbnal;traits'!bdlnen-'

A jsromanish iniaq
awakens either the pitv or
the contempt of the
1 i n l- r ,
fair sex
. This law, we believe, admits of the widest, ap-.
plication. The dark-haired, swarthy man is apt
to take for his mate some azure-eyed blonde; the
lean and spare choose the stout and plump;; the
tall l and short often unite: !! and homely ; men
generally win the fairest of the fair. I . j
In temperament,1' as m everything else, what
we should seek is hot likeness, but a harmonious

symmetrical whole. ' In music, contiguous notes
are discordant, but when we sound tosrether a
nrst ana a third or a third jand a nlth, we pro
and a ntth,
duce a chord. The same principle, pervades all
nature. Two persons may betoolmuch alike to
agree. They crowd each other, for two objects
eaaoot occupy the same spacej j at the same time
While therefore, we do not) wliolly agree with
those who insist upon tire union of opposites in
the' matter of temperaments, we Relieve that a
close; resemblance in the constitution of the body
between the parties should be avoided, as hot
only inimical to their
