BAIR. 4 [From the New York Mirror } As the eye gives beauty of expression to the face, so does the hair give elegance and shape to the head which would otherwise be unform- ed. To whatever age we refer, we find hair has been cultivated and preserved by those women who desire to please, as among the first of those charms which give them power over mankind. The ancients differed mate- rially from us in their taste, for with them, and indeed to a very late date, yellow hai was considered as the most beautiful, and it belonged entirely to youth, while dark hair was the color worn by matronly dames and aged men. Thus we find Demertius of Mace- donia, an uncivilized Charles II.. dyeing his hair yellow in accordance with this custom Sometimes false hair was used. The custom died in giving place to the powdered hair in- tecdnsed during the reign of Louis XIII. of France. % Shakspeare makes Bassanio in the ‘“ Mer- chant of Venice,” speaking of yellow hair, say: 2 “ Look on beauty, And you shall see it purchased by the weight W bich therein works a miracle of nature, Making thein ightest that wear most ogi ; So are those cris: st len loc’ Which send ple pee Ba AL ie with the wind Upon supposed fairness. often known To be the dowry of a second head— The scull tua: bred them in the sepulchre.”” About the only exceptions we find to this custom in ancient times are those of Sappho— the ‘‘ Tenth muse” of Plato, Julius Cesar, and Theseus’ Sappho is said to have had very dark hair, Alceus, one of her lovers, calls her, ‘“Dark haired, chaste, sweetly smiling Sappho.”’ and Antipater speake of her as ‘* "Phe beautiful dark-haired woman of Lesbos.”” Julius Caesar was extremely ~— of his hair, and had dark hair, while Theseus who, 2ecording to Plutarch, was a *‘ dark- haired handsome youth,’’ won Ariadne by a total neglect of hair dressing. Milto, better known as Aspasia, s0 called from her great resemblance to that great beauty, is represented *‘ with yellow hair, the locks 2 little curled, and long and beautifully flowing.’’ She was the only woman in the Court of Cyrus of Persia, whose favorite she became, who did not color or adorn her hair From this, we judge this custom was often at variance with the simplicity of nature Baily, whom we cannot but look upon as a madman, yet whose lines in their madness are even more grand than those cf Lec, says in a strain gorgeously beau'ifal © With Hs a brow, and beamley eyes, aud bright, 7 Long, glorious locks, which drop upon thy cheek, Like gold hused cloud-flakes on the rosy morn ”’ And Byron speaks of ‘long floating auburn curls’’ and *‘ glossy ringlets,”’ Hector, eccording to Homer, had biack hair, and his great exewy Achilles bad yellow hair. Describing the funeral rites of Patroclur, Homer says: Patrocius descent on the appointed ground, ‘They place, and heap the sylvan pete around, Bui great Achiiles stands apart in prayer, And from his head divides the yellow hatfr; Those cutiing lecks which from his youth he vowed, And sacred grew, to Sperchula, honored tlood.’ Alexander the Great had long flowing hair and richly curled. His mother 1s represented in medals of her age, according to Plutarch, with leaves gracefully intertwined in her hair It was a custom with the ancients to powder their hair yellow, as it lately wasto powder white. Beards have always been considered as » type of wisdom. Lucian speaks of severe! cases in which the beard of a men was taken as the recommendation of bis skill in physic. The golden beard of Aisculapius is quite fa- mous. Plutarch informs us that a certain omen having been translated by the Soothers to read that ‘‘ a person of courage and superior beauty should take the reins of government in his hands, and suppress the tumults with which Rome was then agitated.’” Syllay who was then in power, said, 1‘‘am the man, for my locks of gcid are sufficient proof of my beauty.” . . Boadicea had yellow hair which fell in rich profusion down to her thighs. ‘The Emperor Nero had yellow hair, as did also his wife Poppw Sabina. A single hair coming out of her head Nero caused it to be fastened with gold to the head of the statue of Juno A Byron, who bas an appreciative eye for every puint of female beauty, and language no less beautiful to expres it, says, of golden lh a er Here j can trace the lesks of gold Which round thy snowy forehead wave.’’ And again: ‘< That form with eye so dark, and cheek so fair,g And aubura waves of gemmed and braided hair, With shape of fairy, lightness.” Charlemange had hair of an unusual color for amanin the prime of life—beautifully whito . e Lucretia Borgia was possessed of hair which caught and charmed the eye of Lord Bycon, d that tasteful judge of beauty, Leigh Uunt; added to the beauties of being of « golden hue, and luxuriant, falling in rico profusion over her shoulders, it possessed the charm of length and fineness. Leigh Hunt, in that beautiful article published in the Indicator on ‘ Femate Beauty,” after stating he is in possession of « single rof this mysterious and beautiful | being says: (we quote from memory,) ‘if ever hair was golden it is this; it is not rod ; it is not yellow ; it is nct auburn; it is golden and naught else, and though natural looking, too, must have bad a surprising appearance ina mass. Lucretia, beautiful mm every re- spect, must have looked like a vision in a pic- ture—en angel from the sun.’ ‘i Mary Stuart, in childhood, had yellow hair, but in age she wore false yellow to conceal her gray locks. Brantone says of her gray hair: “Si ceau—si b'onde—et cendres.”” Elizabeth of England wore false yellow hair, and that red' ‘‘ There is no accounting for tastes.”” . Cervante:, the author of “Don Quixote,’’ had brown hair. Hie taste was in favor of yellow Tasso, the great epic poet, had yellow, and sang of no other. 8 2s A sketch of the Countess Guicicoli reads thus: “ Her hair, which is ungathered on her heap, plays ever her fulling shoulders in a profusion of natural ringlets of the darkest auburn.’’ 5 The French first introduced powdered hair as a beauty, and among the first whom we hear of as utin, wder, is Annie of Austria, wife of Louis x 1, whose hair was a light brown, curling, and of great profusion. This style we cannot admire. The only true state for hair is its natural. ‘* Heaven never hangs out false colors *’ The hair of Ninon de L’Enclos was long and curling, of a dark brown color, which she usu- ally Rs aaa arranged and adorned with pearls, — Catherine of Russia had hair of a beautiful light brown color, which she dressed with great skill and simplicity. . The action of grief upon the hair has, in many cases, been most effecjual. Maria An- toinette’s hair turned gray from grief. Byron ks of hairs + from anguish,” and in 0 “ Prisoner of Shition = My balk Is y, but net with years; I jor grew gut ne le a As men’s have grown by sudden fears “ Colline, in ‘his ode to the /* Passions”? says of Hope iLRasslons “and ser oe enchanted smiled, and waved ber golden hair.” That press on bi Thetr steps aside from the worn paths of life ; Gr bear upon the s And selfish course of dally care sweeps by. dresses of the ladies are small jokes by certain ch ‘no!

In 1019 they are represented as sitting on the ground, or standing. Abont this time the people introduced low, rude, three-legged stools promiscuously over the whole church. Wooden seats were introduced soon after the Norman conquest. In 1087, a decree was is- sued in regar!to the wrangling for seals, so common that none could call any seat in church his own, except noblemen and patrous, each entering and holding the one he first seized. As we approach the reformation, from 1530 to 1540, seats were more appropriate; the entrance being guarded by crossbars, and the initial engraved on them. Immediately after the Reformation the pew system pre- vailed; as we loarn from acomplaint the jor Commons addressed to Henry VII, in 546. in reference to adecree that a Bible should be in every church, at liberty fer all to read, beeause they feared it might be taken into the ‘quire,’ or some‘ pue’ In 1608 gal- leries were introduced.
