I ler stature is good; she is not made for tbe admiration of everybody, but the happiness of one. She has ail the firmness that does not exclude delicacy she has atl the softness that does riot imply weakness. Her voice is as soft, low music, but to charm those who can distinguish a com pany from a crowd; it has this, advantage ''you must come close to her to hear it." To describe her body, describes her mind one is the transcript of the other; her un derstanding is not shown in the varietv of matters it exerts itself on, but in the "ood i:ess of the choice she makes. Sht does not display it so much in saving or doin striking tilings as in avoiding such as she ought not to say or do.. No person of so few years can know the world better; no erson va ever le-s corrupted by the knowledge.
