ELEMENTs OF pHYsIoGNoMy

He who has low forehead, and full o.
wrinkles, will look like monkey. He who
has high forehead will have his eyes under
it, and will live all the days Of his life, and
that is infallible.,
A great mouth from ear to ear signifies
much foam and no bride; but these are not
hard mouthed, but all mouth.
A little mouth drawn mp like purse de-
notes darkness within, and looks more like
aloop-hole than window.
A watery mouth, that sputters when il
speaks, and over1ows when it laughs, will
have need of bib.
| He that is bald will have no hair and if
he happen to have any it will not be on the
baldsplace.
Sparkling eyes will be very apt to shine.
Women who have curious eyebrows will
in all likelihood have eye-lashes under them.
and will be beloved if any body takes lik-
ing to them.
whatsoever you see man who has but
one eye, you may safely conclude that he
has lost the other.
They that have but small feet will need
but little shoes, and will have a light pair of
heels.-1rGnslated from The Spanish.

THE FLOWER OF MY BIRTHDAY

"a ne rAOW ER OF MY BIRTHDAY,
~ was wild, yet tender thing,
In childhood's early day;
iloved the free birds merry wing,
And the blithe look of May;
II loved our cottage in the GLEN
-a-asQliiis ruined now--rwas smiling then
No mattef !-once there was flower
My mother gave to me,
Twas planted on my natal hour,
And was, of all our summer bower,
The fayourite of the bee;
My mother oft in sport would say,
You're children of the self-same day
lpriz'd it well--it was, in faith,
A peerless little flower;
sought to shield its fairly wreath
From the chill north winds angry breath,
And the approaching shower;
Blooming beneath sunny sky,
! never dreamed to see it die.
At last, methought its roseate hue
Waxed fainter every morrow;
saw it fade-the morning dew
Fell cheerly-but the fow'ret grew
Into thing of sorrow
watched it till by slow decay,
Its ffagant spirit passed away.
Its spirit passed. wept the fate
Ofmy poor garden-brother
1t was SO beautiful mate,
That when it left me desolate,
might not find another
To rival the departed one
My heart was in tit was gone!
TITS strange-time hath sped far and fast
Since that ill-fated flower,
Yielding its bosom to the blast,
Sickened, and dropped, and sunk at.last
Within its native bower;
IT'S strange-how all of good, that 1
Since found, hath shared its destiny.
I've marked it well-each morn hath led
To some new ciie-iehsasa .--=z-ssr<,,
Some promise-bud, which flower'd and fed
Ere the first evening sky grew red,
With all its plighted pleasure,
Leaving the hope-sick heart in pain,
To seek-and be deceived again.
And this is life-and this is love-
And this is beauty's power!
And thus must fame and fortune prove
False lights, that lead the soul to rove,
Then vanish in an hour!
Our earliest tear andlatest sigh
Spring from one sad fatalityl

Blame not the spirit, blame the shrine!

Where oft religions light divine,

The VISION.

She rose before him in the loveliness
And ght IF days long vanished, bu, her air
Was malk'd with sadness as if care
Had left his traces written, though distress
Was felt no longer Through her shadowy dress,
And the dark r'ge,s OF her flow ing hair,
Tren,bicd the silv ~ moon-beams, as she there
Stood midst her weeping glory, moolless,
And pale marble statue a tomb.
But there welc traits more heavenly in her face,
Than when her cheek was radiant with the bloom
Which, his false love had bhghted-and she now
Came like some angel messenger of grace,
And lock'd fore veness fins br> ken vow.

Like many voice OF one delight,
The winds, the birds, the ocean foods

The lightning OF the ncon-tide ocean
Is flashing round me--and tone
Arises from its measured motion,
How, sweet! did any heart share in my emotion
Alas have not hope nor health.
Nor peace within, nor calm around,
Nor that content, SURPRISING wealth,
The sage in meditation found,
Who walked with inward glory crowned
Nor fame, nor power, nor love, nor leisure
Others see whom these surround
Smiling they live, and call life pleasure
To NE that cup has been dealt in another measure
Yet nov despair ts.lfis mid,

And weep a"ay my life of care,
Which have borne, and yet must bear,
Till death, like sleep, might steal on me,
And might feel IN the warm air
My cheek grow cold, and hear the sea
Breathe DER tHy dying brain its last monotony.

Within the sacred aisle,
Thy young cheek in blushlng glow
BetwiXt tear and smile,
Thy heart was glad in maiden glee,
But he it loved SO ferven,ly
Was fathless all the while

hate him for the vow he broke
had the love that could not die,
Its doubts, and hopes, and fears
And buried all my misery
In secrecy and tears
And days pass'd on and thou didst prove
The pang of unrequed love,
Fen in thy early years;
And thou dldst die so far and good
In silence and in solitude
While thou vert living did hide
Affections secret pains
I'd not have SHOCKED thy modes, pride
For all the world contains,
But thou hast perish'd, and the fire,
That often checked, could ne'er expire
Again unbidden reigns;
1t is no crime 10 speak my vow,
For alb ! thou canst not hear it now.
Thou sleepest meath thy lowly store.
That dark and dreamless sleep
And he, thy lov'd and chosen one,
Why goes he not to weep
He does not kneel where have knelt.
He cannot feel what I have felt,
The anguish still and deep,
The painful thoughts of what has been,
The canker worm that is not seen.
But las DER the dark blue wave
Unconsciously ride.
My thoughts are lowering Ger thy grave,
My soul is by thy side.
There is one voice that walls thee vet
One heart that cannot e'er forget
The visions that have died.
And all tiny form is buried there.
A doubt-an angush-a despair

APROpOS PSALM SINGING.

Many Years ago, in sold Continental
time,.'' an obscure parish, in a corner of
the town of W. in Connecticut, set
about the erection Of house Of public wor
ship. As not unlrequent!y occurs on such
Occasions, a disagreement took place about
the location Of the house; which. sitter the
frame was raised, grew to such height that
the work was atolped; and the uncovered
frame stood for years exposed to the Gle
ments, until it literally tumbled down. An
attempt was then made to rebuild the house
"a new frame was provided for the pur
pose-and the "society" gathered together
for the raising. Among those present, was
the late DIR. Lemue Hopkins, of witty ne
mory, then boy together with his father,
the clergyman Of the adjoining parish.
AS wa, customary in those times, it was
proposed to have prayers and singing before
the "raisins" commenced. but there was
no Psalm Book there. Young Hopkins,
however, suggested that he could remember
4 Psalm, and accordingly was requested to
give it out, in the cid way, by lining it, He
therefore began
Except the Lord doth build the house,
" Tie builders work IN vain
These beng duly sung TO the good old
tame Of Mear-hc continued,
except the Lord doth finish i,
'Iwill tumble down again"

out of the window to see who was there
Not recognising his master, and mistaking

Professor is not at home" 90, very WELL"
replied Leasing. 81 will call another tme;'
and. SO saying, he very composedly walked
away.
A lady wrote to her lover, begging him
to lend her some money. She added, by
