How to Retail a- Good Face. A correspondent has some good ideas on the importance of mental activity in retaining a good face. He says, "We were speaking of handsome men the other evening, and I was wondering why K. had lost the beauty for which years ago he was so famous. ' Oh, it's because he never did anything,' said B. ; 'he never worked, thought, or suffered. You must have the mind chiselling away at the features, if you want handsome rniddle-aged men.' Since hearing that remark, I have been on the watch to see whether it is generally true—and it is.' A handsome man, who does nothing but eat and drink, grows flabby ; but the hard thinker has an admirable sculptor at work, keeping his fine lines in repair, and constantly going over his face, endeavoring to improve, if possible, the original features." An evening paper called the Citizen has lately appeared at Gloucester. It is sold for a halfpenny, and gives prominence to local matters.
