Sir Edward Lytton speaks in one of his novels of a man “who was uglier than he had any business to be;” and, if be could but read it, every human being carries his in his face, and is good looking or tbe reverse as that bis life has .been good or evil On onr features the chisel of thought and emotion are eternally at work. Beauty is not the monopoly of blooming young men and of white and pink maids. There is a slow growing beauty which only comes to perfection in old age. Grace belongs to no period of lie* and goodness improves the longer it exists. I have seen sweeter smiles on a lip of seventy than I ever saw on a lip of seventeen. There is tbe beauty of yontb, and there is also beaoty of holiness—a beauty much more seldom met; and more frequently found hi tbe arm-chair by the fire, with grandchildren around itakneet than in the ball-room or the promchade. Husband and wife, who have fought the world sideby aide; who have made eom “oQ. stock of joy-and sorrow, and aged together are not curious ly alike to personal appearance and in pitch a«l tone of voice—just as twin pebbles on the beach exposed to the ««***» tidal influ ences, foeefchmber’* alter ego.

Brazil has disappointed the great expec tations based on her. Her delivery in Eu rope was 106,000 bales in 1860, and 149,- 000 in 1865. Expections of any supply from China and Japan have bean aban doned. Even at the high prices of several years past tbe foreign production of oottoa ap pears to have culminated. It is'evident that America will still control the markets of the world, even at much higher prices that prevailed before the war. Yes and No.—lt is wonderful how vast an amount of mischief, and of misery, even, is produced by the simple misuse of these little words. People many times say Yea without thinking of what it in volves, or they say No ineo feeble » tone, that those who are urging them to do something yvbioh they cannot honorably do, are invited to persist until they get the answer they desire. And thus (key as sume obligations which they have no set tled purpose to fulfil], or neglect duties which their own conscience aqd their own sense of honor tell them they should disoharge. Yes is more easily said than No, because it is more agreeable to aasent to another's wishes than it is to oppose them. Hence, of some good-natured men the remark is often beard, “Thay cannot aay No.”- -* - -eAfSifev** Young man, consider well wbst you are asked to do before yon pronounce year Yes; but baring uttered it, remember that the reply to all others must be a No, so not for a moment doubt tha*yw mean it You haVe made a great attainment If yon hare learned to say No, and to stick to it. Frequently yon will find it a itoet un pleasant word, sometimes a very painful word to utter. But that sort of pain h momentary. It is noTlhe pain caused by conscience violated, by honor gullied. It he pain produced by 4he fife-long memory of evils indicted cm yourself and others, which a Kttle timely firmness would have prevented. “Let your Yeaivl YMTaigyoarjiay SOVTTHXBN LITERATI.

' The Count do St. Croix, belonging, to one of the noblest and wealthiest f< \mijrt4 in France, became eogageff, alter, a fopg audkassiduous courtship, his equal iu position and fortune, and famous for her beauty. Shortly after tbe happy day was Appointed which was to render two loving bearta one, tho Count was ordered * ately to the seige of Sebastopol; so he glr- * ded on his sabre, aud at the head of hia regiment marched to th§ fit ring the Count’s absence, it happened that his beautiful fiance h%d j] af ter hovering between fife and death, fof* many days.Jjq reepyi-rod her health, but found her beKhQf hopelessly lost. The diseaswhad assumed in her case the most ib'arooter, and left her not •flgjfv disfigured fiut seamed .and scarred to frightful extent that the became hid eous to herself, and resolved to pass the re mainder of her days in the strictest sec’us jtsn. A year pawed away, when, one day tha Count, immediately upon hia return! -from France, accompanied by hia valet, pre sented himself at the residence of his be trothed' and solicited an interview. This wes refused. He, however, with the per sistence of a lover, pressed his suit, and £- nally the lady made her appearance close ly muffled in a double veil At the sound of her Voice tbe Count rusbeff^forward to embrace her, but stepping aside, she trem blingly told him tbe story of her sorrow* •rd burst into tears. n A heavenly smile broke over the Count’s handsome features, as raising his kanda above ha p&elaimed, “It is God’s work; I am blind. It was even so. When gal lantly leading bis regiment to thojittack, a caoon l>aiK Djiaiidq oft > sL fl s vwKUm if loft nvririr 8i ,* iii iitv niiiiv i* iviv vutjrt 7#q*rtf3'ilUUi UftOiinli and his countenance unmarked, it robbed him forever of sight. It is almost unnecessa ry to add that their marriage was shortly after solemnized. It is said that at this day may often be seen at tbe Emperor’s recep tions an officer leaning upon the arm of a lady closely veiled ; and they seem to be attraoted to the spot by tbeir love of music. Ah Ihfamous Wretch.—Tbe Charles ton Courier, of the 24th instant, states : Not many months since these was wedded to a fair, but also 1 too confiding, daughter of a highly esteemed and reapeeted citizen of one of onr interior towns, a Northern man, who claimed formerly to have been! an officer in the Federal army. The mar ried life of tbe happy pair appears to have glided along smoothly and pleasantly, antih at an inauspicious moment a third party 'steps upon the stage, and immediately transformed quiet and bliss to discontent and bitterness. The perfidious and brutal husband was confronted by another wife who, having heard of his infamous conduct, had arrived from the North to institute in quiries and satisfy herself as to the truth or falsity of the reports which reached her. To her anguish and sorrow she found that the statements were indeed true. The af fair has created quite a feeling in the Dis trict, and how it will end remains to be seen. Dickers at Finy-Foca.—Tbe follow ing description of the personal appearance of Charles Dickens at the age of fifty-fonr is from a late London letter in tbe New York Tribune. “Dickens;wil! be fifty-fonr years old next Wednesday. He was born February 7, 1812. It may hardly be nears to speak ot bis personal appearance, but here it ie: He is on the short aide of middle height, bis hair and beard almost or quite gray, the latter wore after the French or American faahion, with shaven cheeks, the form brought for— . ward, and, I should think, elaboratoly oil ed. His eyre are dark, handsome and viv acious ; the lines below and about them deeply defined: the eye-brows appeared thick and arched semi-circularily. though this might be from his nobility of featurea in reading. Hit nose' is of no particular recognized order, odd and full at the m*- trife, the humorous line running from them Aw We corners of the mouth very marked and noticeable. His complexion is not ve ry clear, and reddish about tbe rather sun ken cheeks. He dresses in good taste, quU etly, with dainty linen.”
