If the admirers of the brunette tell yott seriously that there is no expression in the blende, that she fails to wear well, that her beauty is of the shallow type, which can be taken, in and digested at half a glance, while' tho brunette grows and grows upon you like a star in heaven, on the other band, the lovers of the blonde have exhausted poetry and language in her praise, and protest qutor as savagely that she is the most porfect specimen of womanly beauty. It is all a matter, of taste, howeversnce "beauty is a joy forever,' whether it be of the maid, or of Fair Eliinor. Wafs it not the "fair haired Helen" who lighted fcK)ls the way to dusty death? Ilavo not both blonde and' brunette swayed the world by turns? If the first Is too colorless and indefinite toplease you, may not the second be too decided in tone? to charm another? .

For expression is alwaysthe highest, the most durable form of loveliness, something with which Time cannot trifle, which improves With age, beside which fine features and vivid tints are ineffectual; and insignificant.

CITY, UTAH, JULY 15, 1876. our prejudices are at the service of beauty at first sight; wo are apt to think it an ex ponent of the inward spirit, the soul shining through, or overflowing into visible form; and wo experience an almost personal disappointment when we find that the manners and thoughts do not correspond to the face. Beauty is indeed at times something utterly independent of symmetrical features, clear complexion, and liquid eyes; "a divine improvisation," which happens to some people whom we are in the habit of calling plain, and develops their possibilities; something that seems to be the radiations of happy thoughts, of a lofty mind. And do not, the countenances ot those wo love always wear a charm that transcends actual beauty, be. the' eyes luminous or faded, the nose retrousse or ftquitinG, tTie hair golden or gray? LITTLE BY LITTLE. " LME skin-deep-r-perha- There was a time when women of rank and affluence were not thought degraded by dressing the fatted calf and baking cakes upon the hearth; when with their pitcher upon their shoulder, they went to the well to draw water for their flocks; and when even royalty kneVv how to appreciate the virtues of her who sought wool and 'flax, and wrought willingly, with her hands; who laid her hands to the spindlo and to the distaff; who made fine linen and sold it, and delivered girdle who looted well to the ways of her household and ate hot the bread of idleness. But time has wrought a change in the circumstances and habits of women of the present age, though there are many of all ranks who are not less usefully employed than were the matrons of anient times; many to whom it may be said, "Give them of the fruit of their 'doings, and let their own works praise them in tho gates."
