Not an houri or a goddess was she, yet she was fair, very fair, and many thought her beautiful, but her beauty partook more the nature of the lilly than the rose- Her j eyes were olue and rather large, which were shaded with long silken lashes that served to temper and subdue the fire that burned there, into a soft, penetrating and melancholy lighL- Her lips resemble in color, softness, and contour, twin rosebuds freshened by the dews of the morning; but there was an expression about them which rose-buds never assumed, for it seemed real ly that divinity it self slnmbered there i n that roseate, etherial bud I Her forehead was high, and rather broad her nooe, Gre cian -ner chin rather tapering and full her hair fell, not down in graceful ringlets," as does the hair of the majority of the heroines of fiction, but it hung unconfined in waves of auburn softness and beautv overshoulders of slightly colored snow ; and her round symmetrical figure, was not de- formed by hoops, or other the Parisian style of dress i absurdities of tyle of dress in fact, as I be fore stated, .she was fair, very fair, and some thought her beautiful.

The great secret is to learn to bear with each other's failings; not to be blind to to them that is either an imposibility or a folly ; we must see and feel them, if we do neither, they are not evils to us, and" there is obviously no need of forbearance" but to throw the mantle of affection round them, concealing them from each other's eyes ; to determine not to let them hill the affec--tions i to resolve to cultivate good temper-i ed forbearance, because it is the only way j of mitigating the present evil, always with , a view to ultimate amendment. Surely it j is not the perfection, but the imperfection, of human character that makts the strong- j est claim in4ove. All the world must ap prove, even enemies must admire, the good and the estimable in human nature. If husband and wife estimated only that in each which all must be constrained to value, wfhatdo they more than others."' It is in nrmalies of our characters, iiuperfections of nature, that call for pitying sympathy, the tender compassion -thaljnftkes each the comforter, the monitor of the other. - For bearance helps each attain command over themselves. Few are the creatures so ut terly evil as to abuse a generous confidence, a calm forbearance. Married persons should be pre-eminently frierfds, afid fidelity is the great privilege of friend ship. The forbearaaoe here contended for is not a weak and wicked indulgence of each other's faults, but such a calm, tender observance of them as excludes all harshness and an ger.and takea the best and gentlest methods of affection. -- To remove dirt from liten jerk a dandy out ofhia shirt r .. , IBM: TWO POI.I.AB,!
