A TURKISH BEAUTY.
Mm Goneral Lew Wallace has been permitted to nee the grostnst beauty of Prince Feraniorc'a harem in Turkey, Two wonderfully black eunuchs mot the visitor at the iron sate of a beautiful garden, and, conducted her to a lsige room rather barren of furniture, but hung with fine Eastern draperies. Here sho found the Prince'i latest acquisition whom die thus describes in the Independent:" Among the billowy cushions and vapouruui veilings i-iethe yonng .face, Oh! what a revelaii„n of beauty 1 uplifted ini questioning way, to see what manner of women these are who come from the ♦lidsof the earth with unveiled face), and go about the world alone, and have to think for themselves—poor things, The expression was that of a lorely child waking from summer slumbers in the happiest humour, and ready for play. A lensitive, exquisite face, fair as the first woman, wuilo the angel was yet tinfallen, A perfect oval, the lips a scarlet red, and oh I those wonderful Asiatio eyet lustrous, coal black, long, rather than round, beaming uuder joined eyebrows."
