The whole figure ia lix times the length of the foot Whether tbe form be slender or plnmp, tbia rale holds good. Any deviation from it is a departure from the highest beauty of proportion. The Greeks make all their statues aeeording this rule. The faoe, from the highest point tha forehead, where the hair begins, to end of the chin, Is one-tenth of the whole stature. The hand, from the wrist to the of the middle finger, is the game. The ohost a foorlh, and from the nipples to the top the head ia the same, from the top of chest to the highest point of the forehead la seventh. If the length of the face, from- roots of the hair to the chin, be divided three equal parts, the first division determines where the eyebrows meet, and the aeoond place of the nostrils.

. I Wanna Natnaa'a Awnamt.Tht tffori to writ ia nature's antidote. What we write may not be of use to any body else, and perhaps ought never to be published, but it ia of im immense - mense immense use to ourselves. The amateurs know this: they have a craving for the pen. and in one form or another go through the .discipline which is essential to their mental oulture. Ben Jonson used to say that be oould repeatevery line that he had ever written; and every man who writes with oare, weighing his worda, and fully understanding why in eaoh sentence he usea this term rather than that, ao that the choloe of diction depends on the nature of the discourse, and the nature of the discourse on the aeoessitiea of the aubject, muat have felt an arm roach to the aame nower. A It la more blessed to give than to reeeive, so In the mere aot of expressing our thoughts we attain to more nerfeot nosteeslon. There Is not an editor in the kingdom who doea not know what ia the practical reault of this natural craving for the pen, and perhaps the moat amnslng illustration of it, whleh la accessible to the pub lio. is the correspondence which appears in the penny daily paper. Any body who will take the trouble of looking at that oorrespondenoe wilt see how the popular mind ia at work, atrivine to write, and longing for expression In these voluntary effusions we can diatinotly trace the hand of the Incipient writer the man who writes because he want to write, and not becaas he has any apecial acquaintance witu tha subieot he I goins todlaoasa. " It ia impossible to cultivate the taste for reading without also exciting thia desire write. Not only ia It that we are imitative an imals, and lone to do what we admire to play the game as well as to see It played; the faot ia, that we never read latlsfactorily until learn to write.
