ADELAIDE  FAIRFAX;
ou. liOM.AXCE AXD REALITY.
•• OU, muther ! motlier !*' eaid Adelaide Fairfax; and such a wailing, woeful moan wonld have penetrated nny heart bat a heart of stone; hut it made uo impression upon the one it was iuteuded to melt. "Adelaide, JOU disgust me, ;ou make me ashamed of you," said her mother. "What more do you want?   He is rioh-"
"Yes,"said Adelaide ; "bul "
"He is a farorite," interrupted her mother. " He is courted by the first families in the neighborhood.    He could marry the richest
girl in our circle "
"Oh, if lie only would I" Adelaide—if he only would
" Sileuce, girl 1" exclaimed the mother-— "There is neither shame unr spirit in your pretended aversion to oue of the noblest men ever created. " Oh, yon may shudder 1— Ifeitber your tears nor prayers will move ma in the least. Do you think I am blind! Do yon think I do not know the very secret rea¬ aon wby yoa so oppose my dearest wish ?— Do yon think your stolen visits to the old stoue boDse have not been traced 7 Shame¬ less girl I It is my dnty to see you well set¬ tled in life before you are qnite lost to honor and decency."
"No, no, mother, you cannot say that," re- tamed Adelaide; " or if you can, yon shall not I I am yonr child—your only child. Up to this time, have I ever failed in dutj to yon? Have I not given yon all the reverence, all the obedience, all the affection a child conld bestow npon a parent? I tell jou, tnother, this is a case of life and death—for sin is death—death to the heart, that, reckless and tortured, leaps blindly into the chasm of crime."
"Have you done?" said her mether. "Let me speak while the spell is on me," replied Adelaide. '*^Tou know I love William Becket; you knew it years ago. You encour¬ aged it, you gave it your sanction, you used all your woman's arts to aid in its progress— and why? Then he was rolling in wealth, was courted, feted, petted as Grantly Thornby is now. Hia father speculated widely, failed, and in his ruin involved the rain of his only son. Still you played your cards cautiously and well. You pitied him, you pitied me; you trusted matters were not so desperate, after all; but you took good care to remove me far away from his inflaence, thinkiug that in separating us personally you conld separ¬ ate our hearts. It was not possible—they had grown into one. Parted they might be, bul not divided in thonghi, act or deed."
" You romantic simpleton 1" exclaimed her inother. " Don't dare deliver any more of this ridiculous twaddle iu my presence I So surely as the sun rises, so surely shall you be the wifo of Grantly Thorulyl"
"Then on your head be the sin, if sin shonld come 1 On your head be the storm, and strife, and darkness, which I see looming in the far distant I On your head, then, be the crime of a broken heart, a hopeless life t I wam you—oh, I warn you, mother! If I have not your hardness of heart, I have a portion of your determination; and never shall Grantly Thoraby mould me to hi.'i de¬ testable liking. I will be his wife becaase I cannot help myself; but the haud that blights my life shall not blight my love ; so tell my husband that is to be."
Pale and exhausted, Adelaide Fairfax sank down on the sofa, from which but a moment before she had risen in her indignant scorn.
Her mother, a coarse-looking woman, dressed in the extreme of vulgar, costly taste, and loaded with jewelry, sat opposite her, her eyes fairly blazing with wrath and scorn. To be defied by her owu child, the child who, until that, had been all meekness, all obedi¬ ence 1 A bombshell entering her apartment and exploding at her feel could not have started her more. However, she had gained one trumph—Adelaide had consented lo bo- come the wife of Grantly Thornby. Wild as Adelaide had spokeu, she had no fear of the future- She knew the innate purity of her daughter's heart, aud even had she doabted that, the will and strength of Grantly Thorn¬ by were sufficient to protect his owu aud his wife'a honor.
The mother had scarcely left the room by one door, when another was opened giving admittance to a second party. It was in the person of a singularly handsome mau, tall, stalwart in frame, with eyes large, liurning and penetrating. The face was in keeping with the form, the featnres regalar aud well- defined, the foreheai broad and massive, tho mouth—ay, there lay the reading of that strong man's nature—it seemed to say as plainly as words could have doae, "my will is law." And so it was. Scarcely, in all his life, had he failed in accomplishing auy ob¬ ject that seemed to his erratic nature worthy of pursuit. And shonld he fail now, when the prize to be obtained waa only a aimpie, slubbom girl? Nol he. It was noi so much for the affection he bore her, yet even there he had conceived a passion which he fonud it imposible to sabdoe; bat she had defied him, mocked him, laughed him to scorn. His blood was on fire to revenge the insult. She shoald love him.
Only let him secure her to himself, only let her become his wife, away from the influ¬ ence of her unfeeling mother, dependent upon him for society, affection, and all the liltle attentions women so yearn for and need, and he defied fate itself to thwart him in his triumph. And yet if he conld only succeed In winning her now. A loveless and much loved wife, it was a galling chain to forget yet he was desperate in hia wooing. If ever man won woman to his love, he would yet win Adelaide Fairfax. Thoughts snch BS these flickered through his brain as he
gazing upon the fair faoe of her he so desired to win.
Adelaide, loat in sorrowfal thoaght, did not hear the opening oftbe door, nor was she aware of hia presenoe until a hand vbs laid lightly on her shoulder. She looked up bewildered, aud for a moment a shriek was nearly barating from her lips; bat she was a brave girl, and returned his gaze with one almost, aa vivid and baming, until he found voioe to speak. Strangely agitated waa tfaat strong, detet mined, fearless man of the world. He sat down by her aide, taking her resistless hand in his own.
"Yon hare consented?" fae at length asked.   " You will be my wife ?"
" Consented—^yes I Be your wife !—yes I" Hard and cold indeed waa the voice whioh altered these few sententious worda.
"And you will try to love me ?" he asked. " I cannot—oh, I oannot," she replied ; "you know itis impossible. Oh, why do you insist upon this dreadful union ? What can I ever be to you, I who love another ?" He bit his lips, but he did not interrupt her. "Could any power bind my thoaghta?— Would they not follow him forever in his lonely pilgrimage ? Are they not part aud parcel of his existence ? Think what it would be to live year after year, for death does not come at one's bidding, the companion ofone whoae heart, soul and existence was wrapped in that of another 1"
" Stay, stay, Adelaide," he oried, grasping both her haud. "Have mercy, if not on me, at least on yourself. Think what you are doing. Youaresaorningalove which,thongh mine, is pure as ever woman won—a love I never knew I possessed until your beaaty first dazzled my senses. I have been a reck¬ less man—well, perhaps a bad man—but you can monld me to your will; you can form a na:ure which is not all depraved, into some¬ thing worthy ofyour woman's hand."
" And yet I cannot lore you I" she replied. " There is no personal saarifice I would not make foryour sake," said he. "There is no deed of daring I wonld not accomplish, if such deed would give you a moment's happi¬ ness- 1 would toil night and day for your sake if need be; watch over your comfort with the eye of a fond huaband and ajealous lover. I would love you as never before was woman loved; I would cherish you as never before was woman oherished. Oh, Adelaide, think what it is to cast away sach a strength of affection as I offer yoa 1"
Grantly Thomby'a face was ofan ashly paleness ; great dropa of agony stood upon his brow; and his Ups trembled wlththe intensity of hts motion.
" Is there no hope!" he asked at length, finding Adelaide disinclined to oontinne the conversation. " None, alas, noue I" she replied. " WiU nothing move yon, no kindness, no gentleness, no consideration for those you love best ?"
"Nothing," ahe replied ; "do not hope for it."
"Nor affection, fresh as the hloom ofa summer rose, for it never existed till you called it iuto life ?"
" Nothing, nothing," she persisted. " Oh, do not prolong this miserable contest of words- It is useless, it wrings my heart aud youra ; oh, pray let it cease 1"
Thornby passed his hand over his brow once or twice, as if trying to control some wild thought. "Enough, enough," said he. " No kindness will win, no devotion move yon. You will be my wife, no earthly power can prevent that. Tou will hear no more of a love which has been met with scom. If you think it degrading to be loved by me, I cannot help it—I would not help it if I could. I have told you I never loved woman hefore ; my life has been too busy, my thoughts too much absorbed in the pursait of happiness ; but it is past; be at ease, for it is the last time I ever intrude my unwelcome, my mad passion of love upon your notice."
He wrung her hand, and would have lefl the room, but Adelaide detained him. " You say truly," said she; "no earthly power can prevent my being your wife. I kuow my duty. You will trust to my honor, you will feel that however my mind maybe filled with another's image, my life will be pure aud sacred to yon as if the union of our hands had been as well a union of oar hearts.— You will remember this ?"
He pressed her hands and lurned quickly away. Adelaide caught one glance of his face as he left the room, and saw what she never thoaght to have seen—the glittering tears iu eyes not nsed to melting softness. Her heart pained her for having caused even a moment's suffering. " How mortified he must have been," sbe thought, "to have been so decidedly rejected'" Bat how could she help it ? She had looked for no such tender, passionate appeal to her feelings; hitherto his woo ings had heen in bitter, burning words, words speaking more of a desire to triumph over her will than her affection.— She was beginningto pity him, and pity leads onward to love. Had he been no suitor for her hand she woald long ago have admired him. Hia indomitable power of character, his rock-like determination, his strong, uncon¬ querable will, were merits which under other circamstances could not have failed in strik- her womau'a eye.
Women like strength in man far more than beauty; it appeals to their dependence ; and no greater contrast conld be possibly made than existed between the person of Grantly Thornby and William Becket. The first, muscular iu person, some would say almosl to roughness ; but that conld never be. Mr. Thornby was a gentleman, aud what would have seemed heary and unwieldy iu some, sat upou bim wilh a grace which ouly a well- bred man of the world could acqaire. The other, effeminate to the last degree ; pretty, soft, womanly features; soft, white, lady haud, soft, tender blue eyes, light hair, lying iu little rings around a forehead whioh looked as if the sun had never shone upon it, a deli¬ cate, slender frame, tapering off with a fool that Cinderella might have envied, and you have the picture of William Becket. Ade¬ laide was thinkiug ofit now, aud contrasting il with the sturdy form, the bold features* the piercing eyes of Grantly Thornby. She was thinkiug too, she wished Wiliam had a littlo more manliness about him, at least enough to make some exertion for a liveli¬ hood. She looked very pretty aiiting upon the sofa iu deep thought, her fair hair falling iu waves over ber shoulders, her dimpled chin resting iu her small white palm, her eyes full of gentle, teoder light, awakened there by her woman's pity for an unloved man.— Sweet Adelaide 1 her thoughts were taking a strangely foreign -ihape, when the eutranoe of her mother aroused all the antagonism of her nature, and sent her pleasant images fly¬ ing to the foar winds of heaven.
" Weill" said that amiable lady, looking steadily al Adelaide.
" Yon have succeeded," aaid Adelaide; " I have given my word, and now let me have peace. Pve no more to do with it. Make whatever arraugemenls you please, let the sacrifice be oomplete, only give me peace."
The mother turned to reply, bat Adelaide bad left thejroom.
It wa^ now in the middle of July, and it was settled that they were to he married in the comiug Octoher, that golden month of the year. Adelaide experienced no regret, nor in fact seemed to take the smallest interest in the progress of affairs. Mr. Thomby was con¬ stant in his visits, but no common acquain¬ tance could have been more reserved or re- speotfal. No word of luve ever paaaed hia lips, no pressure of his hand denoted hia claim upon that little property, yet even Adelaide conld not help noting that his face, in grow¬ ing graver was also growing paler; atill her nature revolted against the enormity of forc¬ ing her into a marriage repugnant to her feel¬ ings.   Had he been in lore with any one elsei
stood thsre within the shadow ofthe door   no hand would have been outstretohed in
sympathy and oondolenoe. As it was, she pitied him, and really began to exert herself to banish something ofthe gloom whioh snr- roonded his life. '' It wasn't his fault," she would think, " after all; he couldn't help it, poor fellow, and as I am to be his wife, I may as well try to be agreeable."
From that day the scene changed at tbe dwelling of Mrs. Fairfax. It was an old, ram¬ bling oonntry mansion in which they resided, and Mr. Thomby's estate joined theirs. Flow¬ ers grew all about in the greatest profasmn and there wasa large sheet of water jnst upon the verge of the wood, whore the lazy water- lillies lay with their white leaves allthe long summer. To this spot Adelaide and Mr. Thorn¬ by made a daily pilgrimage. Adelaide waa astonished that she had never before discov¬ ered what an amiable companion her be¬ trothed was ; she raiher liked leaning upon his arm and looking up into hia brilliant eyes while he explained to her aome of the wonders of nature spread before them. He spoke too of travels made iu foreign lands ; of famoua cities and monnmenls of the past; of the wonders of architecture, of art, of painting and statnes, which she only knew from prints ;— bnt which he had seen themselves, and which in his descriptions rose in her imagination higher than the power of the graver's art could make them. He pictured to her Ven¬ ice with its ailent streets and funeral-like gondolars, its glorious palaces and ohurches, its Bridge of Sighs, its secret crimes and jeal¬ ousies. He spoke too of Rome and whal it waa, of its walls and ruius, of its monaments and churches; of Milan and of Florence, of the golden Arno aud orange groves, of the treasures of literature and art within the walls of the Pitti Palace.
It amased Adelaide to hearof scenes which she never expected to see, tboagh the thought once did occur to her that perhaps when she was his wife he would take her to a foreign land, aud give her an opportunity of witness¬ ing what he had beeu so graphically descri¬ bing. Now that he had ceased to torment her with his love, she began to think a life with auch a companion would uot be so very disagreeable after all.
Adelaide was aensible enough when the ro¬ mance which she had gathered from books was not too powerfal for her. She begau lo compare the glowing, fascinating descriptions which he knew so well how to relate, with the silly, whining sentimentality of her for¬ mer lover, and for that matter lover still, for ahe would have flushed witb indignation had any one suggested the idea of her having turned truant to her first love. She never dreamed of such au atrocity She liked Mr. Thomby becaase he was so kind to her, so carefal over her, so conaiderate for her com¬ fort, but nerer, no nevercoald her heart wan¬ der from its allegiance to its first love. And she was sincere in this belief. She went, in¬ deed, so far that once wheu she mel William Becket, she told him that had he been a man of mind saffioient to bear up under the mis¬ fortunes which oppressed him, had he risen up under adversity and carved his way in the world as other men had doue, she would have left all, iu defiance of restraint, and shared his fortune whether for good or bafl. Bat it would be rushing in the face of Providence to saddle a man with a wife and the responsi- billties of a family when he had not sufficient energy to snpport himself; to allof which he only whined like a child, and accused her of tuming againsl him because he was poor. No, il was not that, he knew it was not that, but she had grown wiser and more thought¬ ful, and saw more clearly what was right and what wrong, and sbe was snre it was wrong to waste life as he was wasting it.
October was fast approaching. The orchards were golden with their lucsious fruit; the forest trees were all tinted with autumn brown, while over all was that dreamy, hazy, delicious air which seems redolent with gen¬ eral joy of the season. You would scarcely have known Adelaide again, so wondroualy had she changed. The gladness of her heart seemed to haro come out upon her face, making it radiant with beauty aud bloom.— No longer did she sit passively lookiug on upon the progressing of bridal appointmeuta. Her betrothed was large-hearted as he was large brained. He insisted npon furnishing the trousseau, and made a trip to town for that purpose. Be sure there was nothing forgotten that conld please the eye or gratify the taste. How long to Adelaide seemed the days of his absence! Shu would not have believed she could have missed him so much. Did she love him him f No, never; yet she was sorry to have him love her. To he surei he had not spoken apon the suhject siuce that fatal morning on which she was so in- •ensed with the persecution of her mother.— She almost wished he would, that she might lake back some of those cruel words, and tell him how much ahe liked him, and how dif¬ ferent she found him to what people descri¬ bed him. She was sorry she could not love him as a wife shoald love a husband, bnt perhaps the time would come when her mind would change. At present she must be true to William, from whom she was parted for¬ ever, and whose woe-begone face would haunt her while sbe lived. Yet spite of theae sentimental thoughts she was quite angry with heraelf that she could nol feel more real sympathy for her broken-hearted lover.
At length Mr. Thornby arrived, Adelaide meeting him at the cross roads, where she knew he would take a short cut across the farm. One single grain of encouragement from him and she would have flung herself into his arms ; but he merely took her hand, placed il under his arm, and proceeded leis¬ urely to the honse. Adelaide was chilled by hia singular coolness ; she was prepared to give him so kind a reception, and had even taken the pains to walk a half a mile for the pleasure of aeeing him a few moments sooner. II waa uot kind of him,to say the least. Then camo orer with a great crash the thoughts, "suppose he does not love me." Such a possibility had nerer before occurred to her. What, after all those protestations, to orer- come it last! The blood seemed to stagnate in her veins ; she could not move if her life depended upon it. Mr. Thornby felt the sud¬ den trembling of her hand and paused to learn the cause. Adelaide was pale and trembling, but it was only for a moment; she laughingly assured him it was customary with her, the result of fatigue.
The bridal array had arrived before them, and was already spreadont upon sofas, chairs and tables. It was a splendid Trousseau.— Robes of such beautiful fabric, that it seemed danRerons to touoh them, lay in juxtaposition with laces whioh an empress might envy.— Jewels gleamed from their crimson cases like atars, while lying upon the bridal veil, itself not more pure, was a carcanet of pearls of the rarest qnality. Ah, Mr, Thoraby had shown his taste as well aa his liberality 1 After allowing Mrs. Fairfax due time to ad¬ mire them, he explained to her that he wished for a moment to speak apart with Ad¬ elaide.
"My poor girl," said he, when they were alone, " did you think I was monster enough lo drag you to the altar, and force you to take upon yonrpurelips an unholy vow ?"
Adelaide looked up into his face bewilder¬ ed, but she did not reply.
" I confess," he continued, "there was a lim.e when my mad passion and your obstinacy almost turned my brain, when my heart grew dark, and I felt capable of almosl any wick¬ edness lo secnre to myaelf my prioelesatreaB- nre—my peerless Adelaide. That lime has passed. I have seen you trying hard to con¬ quer that feeling agaiust me, tryiug to like me and amuse me, and make s6me amends for what yon knew I must be suffering- I determined yoa shouldhaveyourreward. It waa hard to give yon up, for as I told you then, I loved you as never before man loved woman; but yonr sweetness and patience have trinmphed. There ia your bridal pera- phemalia, here tbe deed of au estate settled upon yourself and ohildren, and now  I n.
sign you to your younger and earlier' lover, and may he make you as happy as I would bave tried to do."
Resign—not your wife—marry William Becket 1 Oh, you oannot mean it, you would not be so crael I" exolaimed Adelaide, wbo had sprung np impatient of all restraint, aud thrown herself at his feet.
The eyes of Mr. Thornby bnrned with a triumphant fire, but he merely clasped her two hands, looking down into her frigbened face.
" If yoa conld have lored me," aaid he, "if it had heen my fate to hare met you when you were free and heart-whole, the world conld not have contained another so happy as myeelf. But it is my fate to live alone, unloved, uncared-for, and nnblest, while you " I
" I will nol leave youl"  she cried, "you : ahall not oast me off.   I do love yoa, I never . knew how much until now ; I am not aahamed ; to own it, I am proud ofit.   I am ashamed o^ : that childish folly which passedfor love.    As yon love me,801 love yoa,with all the strength, power and foroe of my being.   I will be your wife, and so being will devote the rest of my life to your happiness."
Mr. Thoraby v^ited to hear no more, but taking her in his arms, folded her to his breast, which waa ever after to be her home. Another week and they were married, and Adelaide says it may be that men have sec¬ ond loves, but she is very sure women never love but once.   So much for her romance.
DIALOGUE ON KEWSPAPEES.

"Do you take the newspapers, neighbor A.?"
"No, sir, I do not take them myself; but I now and then borrow one, just to read.— Pray, sir, what have newspapers to do with the education of ohildren ?"
"Why, sir, they havea vast deal todo with it, 1 assure you. I shoald as soon think of keeping them from sohool, as to withhold from them the newspapers ,* it is a little school of itself. Being new erery week, it attracts their attention, and they are aure to peruse it. Thus, whilo they are storing their minds with uaeful kuowledge, they are at the same time acquiring the art of reading, &c. I hare often been surprised, that men of understanding should orerlook the import¬ ance of a newapaper in a family."
" In truth, neighbor B., I frequently think I ahoald like to take them, bnt I cannot well afford the expenae."
" Can't afford expense 1 What, lel me ask, is the ralue of the one or two dollara a year, in comparison with the pleasnre aud the ad¬ vantages to be derived from a well-conducted newspaper ? As poor aa I am, I would nol for fifty dollars a year, deprive myself of the happiness I enjoy in reading aud hearing my children read and talk about what they have read in the papers. Aud then the reflection that they are growing up intelligent and usefal members of society. Oh, don't men¬ tion the expense I—pay it in advauce every year, and you will think no more of it.
The Best Sewing Macbine.
Panch gives the following admirable des¬ cription of an old fashioned sewing machine, which every bachelor ahould possess:
The very best sewing machine a man can hare is a wife. It is one that requires bnl a kind word to sol it in motiou, rarely gets out of repair, makes but little noise, is seldom the cause of a dust, and, once in motion, will go uninterruptedly for hours, without the slightest trimming or the smallest personal superrision beiug necessary. It will make shirts, darn stockings, sew on buttons, mark pocket handkerchiefs, cnl out pianofores and manufacture children's frocks oat of any old thing you may gire it; and this it will do be¬ hiud your hack jusl aa well as before your face. In fact you may leave the houae for days, audit will go on working just the same. If it does get out of order a little from being overworked, it mends itself from beiug left alone for a short time, after which it returns to its sewing with greater rigor than eror.— Of coarse, such machines rary a great deal. Some are much quicker than others. Il de¬ pends in a vast meaaure on the particalar pattern you select. If you aro fortunate in picking out the cboicest pattern of a wife— oue, for instance, that sings whilst working, aud seems to be never so happy as when the husband's linen is iu hand—the sewing ma¬ chine is pronounced perfeoi of its kin^ ; so much so that there is no make shift in the world that can possibly replace it, either for love or money. In short, no gentleman's establishment ia complete without one of these sewiug machines in the house.

CTJLTlylTE. BEAUTY.
There is no proverb that ^praotioally is a greater uatruth thin the old one, that " Beau¬ ty is only sklu deep*" Of bourse all the "wal! flowera" ofthe Newport and Saratoga ball rooms, and those who tised to be bellest will be down ttpoubti^assertish, but we mean to look at it, not merely as philosopbera, but as good citizens. Cultivate personal beanty, then, we say, becaase it is something far more than skin deep. Of oourse by this we do not mean that it is the duty of erery man, wo¬ man aud ohild to adopt all the artificial orn¬ aments of dress. Ifwe were speaking in a nnrsery garden of cultivating roses, and a French milliner were to step up and aasure you that she made and'aold them properly perfamed by the dozen, we ahould probably any of us reply, that however excellent her art might be in its way, we were speaking of aomething altogether different. So it may be all very well to wear false hair and teeth, to paint the eyebrows or cheeks, or nse all the appliances of a fashionable milliner or tailor, to cover defects and set off the points of at¬ traction, but all that soil of beauty is not skin deep, and the study of its art is not oultiva- ling beaaty.
But ao to live aa to keep a clear oomplexion and preserve the glow and freshness of yonth, to take auoh exercise as to preserve and im¬ prove the figure of the body and the form of eaoh mascle, to digest the food so thai the teeth shall he always white, and not decay from the sourness pf the stomach, to think and feel so that the eye will flash aud sparkle, and the countenance beam and kindle al the fire of wit or the humor of surrounding joy and love—all this is what we mean by the assertion that beanty is more than skin deep, and the caltivation of it, as Socrates always declared, worthy of the study and admiration, not only of a philosopher, but indeed of the whole person, the proportionate development of every part, and therefore it ahould be sought- It is quite al war with the interest¬ iug paleness of the miss in her teens, who eata pickles to keep down the fallness of good health, aud rnins her digestion for life, to at¬ tract a sickly and childish interest for a little while.
It is a great mistake to sappose that the young alone are beaatiful. There ia a beaa¬ ty belonging to every age, and to each sex, and all there are quite distinct one from the other. It ia only because the beauty of youth is so muoh abused, that we aee so few who retain it in the white flowing locks, the clear complexion, and the hilarity and good spirits of a ripe old age. So beauty in man ia not the effeminate prettiness ofa smooth faoe but the perfect expression of strength and vigor so harmonized in all its proportions as nol to seem deficient anywhere, or obtrusive, but permanent, and reposing in the dignity of conscious atrength and security.
To oultirate real and substantial beauty* then, is a positive duty, for whut it is iu itself as the perfection of our nature, and for .the effeots it produces It is, account for it as we may, a sonrce of amazing power wher¬ ever it is found. Xt is deaigned to be so by the Creator, becaase it is the sign of anusnal perfection of some kiud. In womau it ia jnatly more powerful than man, becauae the beau ideal of woman ia that ahe should be harmonioua in all her developments of charac¬ ter, to aofteu down the asperitea and rough edges ofman. For man, on the other hami, to be strong in some one great department of life and labor, is the most useful lo society, heuce the expression of that in his coun¬ tenance often wins his way for htm beyond all regular beauty, even of the most manly kind.
The effort to cultivate beaaly does good.— It leads to a better appreciation of its ele¬ ments. Strange to say, bat the fact is clear, that we have better treatises for the improve¬ ment in form and beauty of erery other do¬ mestic animal than man. We hare volumes on food adapted to gire bones, or to give mnacle, or to give fat. Bat man is left to his taste, little assisted by science in these mat¬ ters. What is worse, but a few are aware how much not only the food they eat,but the habits they form, the very thonghts they think, are all and always moulding a beauty or a defect in some part of the physical sys¬ tem.
Every line ofthe countenance, every mus¬ cular development, indicates much, because it is all, every line of it, the result of charac¬ ter. There are many apparent exceptions of conrse. Yet these are more apparent than' real. A beatifut countenance is the prima facie evidence of a corresponding beauty within. Of course, to cultivate it, therefore we must begin within. A beauiiful soul will iu a few years beam through the countenance. The beauty of the heart is the foundation of all else. That of the intellect comes next, in au evenly and well cultivated mind, and if this be developed, by regnlar and robust ex¬ ercise, and wholeaome bodily temperance and culture, beauty will be the reward.

Who would be a School Teacher ?
" I'm sure I would not; for I taught two
days for Mr. , and of all lhe children I
ever saw I never met with a aet so nnruly or ill-behared. They aeemed to try how ugly they conld bebare, and they nearly set me crazy. Oh, I have given up the notion of ever being a teacher. This little experieuce haa effectually cured me of that intention."
So speaks an aspirant to the Teacher's pro¬ fession, after a trial of two days in the school of another, during the temporary abaence of the regalar teacher. The young teacher, pro tem, little thought, that the troubles and an- noyauoes spoken of, were the natural out¬ growth of the circumstances. The pnpils felt that the new teaoher was but a temporary affair, and dare not, or would not punish them for having a little fun. Accordingly they commenced their merry-making operations, whioh extended much farther thau they an¬ ticipated, like the operatious of governmental contractors.
We do not wonder at the despondency of the yonng teacher. Xt would be aufficient to dampen the ardor of the moat valorous, to meet with such a repulse in their efforts to conquer the refractory spirits.
There is, perhaps, no aituation that ia ao difficult, so unpleasant, so discouraging lo a young teaeher'a hopea and wishes, as to at¬ tempt to snpply the place of an absent teacher.
No wish of the pro-tem ia observed, no words regarded or commands obeyed, farther thau is convenient to the mischievous ones. Their Uttle braina seem racked to invent some new modes of annoyance, which is sport to them. Some leave their seats without per¬ mission aud refuse to lake them agaiu, until they hare accomplished their object. Some refaae to atudy any more becauae they know their lesaon or because they have got tired, and don't want to. Half a dozen want to go out at ouce. Several seem disposed to carry oaa general disputation and contradict the new teacher and each other with perfect freedom. Any attempt to hear recitations is defeated by tbe medley of other operations, which re¬ quires constant attention, in the way of com¬ mands to behave and alteud lo their studies; withont, however, accomplishing much by thia attention. Ere the hour for closing school has arrived, they are dismissed from sheer necessity, and off they run out of sohool manifesting their joy at their early liberation in the most vociferous mauner.
Such is an imperfect outline of the troublea experienced by some young teachers while kindly taking the place of some friend, for a day or two in their school.
Is it auy wonder they should become heart¬ sick of such labor, and feel as if ther never conld enlist themseNes in such a profession F " Il would certaiuly be the death of them iu less than two months 1"
No young person, with little or no experi¬ enoe, shoald erer attempt to take charge of a achool for one or a few days, in the absence of the proper teacher. It would do very well if the regular teacher shonld remain to sus¬ tain the authority of the new teacher by the power of their presence. But never attempt it alone. Such an undertaking is more than a match for most of our ablest and more ex- .perieuced teachers.
We hare aeen teachers of considerable ex¬ perience, and whose schools were considered model schools, fail utterly wheu attempting to teach for others a day or two. The reason is plain. The school ia already organized and accustomed to particular order aud mauuer. This on the part of the teacher must of ne¬ cessity 1 e changed; and the equilibrium of the school is destroyed. The scholars being all acquainted with each other, and simulta¬ neously affected by the change,and each sym¬ pathizing with each, gires them an entire ad¬ vantage over the teacher, and his authority cannot but quiver, if uot quail nnder the iu¬ flnence of the spell.
In conclusion we would aay to ali young persona who think of becoming teachers not to try to teach for others, unless yoa wish to become at once disgusted; but raiher go into a new school on your own acconnt, and there, as the scholars are becoming acquainted with each other, and the arrangements of a new sohool, you can gather up the reins of govern¬ ment ; and before any movement cau be or¬ ganized for your annoyance, you will bave had an opportunity to win the affection and support of some of yonr pupils. Mischievous- ness will be robbed of more than half ita power. Rebellion will be shorn of its great¬ est strength.
If you do not desire to have a school en¬ tirely under yonr owu charge, then try it as aa assiatant nnder one who seems competeut to govern,andable and willing to sustain you in your relationa with the pupils.
in which the aoholar was diapoaed to guesa, and the toaoberwas not dlsposedlo permit it. In the course of recitation in geography, the pupila said that continents were tslanda.

" Home ia home, be it ever ao homely," is a proverb whioh hag the touch, of nature in it, and, therefore, goes straight to tbe heart and aticks there. It is not wiae, however, to presume too far upon natural inatincta, and to neglect what is hardly less atrong, the force of acqnired taate and babit. It will do no good, in fact it will do a great deal of harm to teat affection by auy nnneceaaary trial of ita atrength. "We ahonld uot, thereforei make home auy more homely than necessity requirea. It is feared, however,., tbat, witb tbe beat intentiona in tbe world, there is a good deal of onrrent error in regard to tbis matter, and consequent sooial evil.
Not only should home be associated, in the minds of yontb, with tbe requirement of dnty, but also with the sense of pleasure.— It la uot euimgh to drill our aona hy & severe domeatic discipline, in all tbe formalitiea of a rigid virtue. They abonld be taught not only how to koep etraigiit, but bow to bendi since it ia not iu the power of natare to un¬ dergo a perpetnal tension. Proviaion mast be made at home for relaxation as well aa work—for pleasare as well aa dnty. If such proviaion is uot tbere, it will he, as it is too often songht elsewhere.
We may laugh at the grimaces of our man- hoys, and take a grim, Brohdiguag delight iu watcluDg how like tbese Lilliputian men are to our own full-grown selvea, but wheu we reflect tbat, with the manuers of childhood, tbey bave lost its innocence, our laughter will at once yield to bitter teara. The preco- oiona diasipation and vice of our youtb ia a frpqaent theme of tbe preacher and moraliat, and it ia one worthy of all their eflbrt. There is something more required, however, than tbe sermon and the leoture ; tbia aomething more is the influenoe of home, and we must aontrive some means to keep our children tbere, tbat they m^y feel its fall force.
Ia it tbat the strict formality of our domes¬ tic mannera ianot anfQoiently accommodating to yoathful impulae ? Is it that our youth are merely edncated to the ontward forms of a regard for bome as lada in school, wbo are only taught to conjugate "I love,'* and never to feel it f Whatever may be the cause, there is no doubt of the fact tbat our yonng people are ia the habit of aeektug elsewhere than nnder the parental roof for means of gratify¬ ing their taate for pleasure. It would startle motbera (fathers are too hardened by the world to be so aenaitive) if they could go— and God forbid they ever abonld—into some of tbe daily haunts of our city youth and see witb what practiced ease their chil¬ dren, like a brood of young serpents, are gli¬ ding through tbe slimy ways of vice.

GTrESSIKTG IN SCHOOX.
In many schoola guesaing is practiced as an art. Years of experience render scholara marvelioualy expert in the art; and it ia surprising to observe bow correctly a cbild can answer, and yet bava scarcely any real knowledge oftbe subject to which the ques¬ tions relate. Of courae the teacher muat tol¬ erate and enconrage tbis practice of guesaing or it coald not prevail. Pertutttiug scholara to "try "two or three times in oral spelling, or upon questions that admit of bat two or three possible answers, is calculated to foster the habit. In hundreds of worda in tbe Eug Ush language, scholars ahove the primary school know that one of two or three meth ods of spelling muat be right. The teacher gives out endeavor. The scholar spells it, e-n-d-e-a-v-e-r. Tbe teacher saya " wroug ;" tben the scholar guesses the final syllable ia o-r, and gueases right. The next time tbe word occurs, the pupil is no wiaer tban be¬ fore, and has to go through with the same guessing process. In respect to all words iu or and er, the same difflculty ia preseuted, nnd similar difficulties in other classes of words. Between y and t, ph and /, s aud c, ur and er, I and ll, and maoy other combina¬ tions, there are only two choices, and a sec ond trial renders the scholar iufallihle, and iUa art of spelling becomes the art of guessing.
But spelling is a tntichatiieal art; at least it is gennerally taught as such, aud there¬ fore the praotice of guessing cannot he ao in¬ jarious in thia aa in many other branohea.— In thoae studiea wherein the anawers to ques¬ tions sbould be the resnlt of a process of reasoning, the habit should not be tolerated, Let us illustrate witb a grammar leason.
Teacher. Children study their lessons,— Parse children, Peter.
Peter.    Children ia a proper noun,—
Teacher.    Wrong.
Peter. Children is a common noun; flrat person.—
Teaoher.   Wrong.
Peter.    Second person ; sing—
Teacher.    It is not second person.
Peter.    I meau    third   person;   aingular number,— ll Teaoher.    Wrong.
Plural number; neuter gender,—
Teacher.   No.
Peter. Common gender; nomuitave case to study. Rule; Prepositions govern the ob jeciive case.
Teacher.    Wrong rale.    The subject—
Peter. The subject of a finite verb is put in the nominative,
Ofcoarae, Peter understands the matter, gets a merit, and is a very nice boy gener¬ ally. Peter is a prodigy in grammer. Iu atating the person, he had one chance in three of guesaiug right the iirst time, one in two tbe aecond time, and was " doad aure " tbe third time. The number, gender, and case, were subject to aimilar chances.
Guessing is abad habit, and none but a routinist will permit it.   The teacher sboald aeldom aay right or wrong, yes or no, or in¬ dicate by looks or motiona that the answer ia correot or incorrect.   The qnestion  shonld either be passed to the next, or tbe pupil be compelled to reason out the answer.   Theae things encourage the practice of guessing.— Tbey are oonvenient for the routinist, and render school-teaching a comparitively indo¬ lent occupation; but the bnainess of a tme I teacher is to  teaoh, and he baa sometbing I better to do thau  practising his pupila in I firing obanoe shots.
