EYES AND LIPS.
From the Commonplace Book of Western Bachelorl
An ingenious friend, who has saturnine cast OF com
pexion maintains with great zeal, that dark eyes are
indicative Of higher order of intellect than those of
other colors. This doctrine meets with great favor from
every whose eyes black, while those that are
blue hazel gray, kndle with indignation at such
lnonstrous absurdity Our friend borrows very hap
py illustration from and says that as the widest
and most vivid flashes of lightning burst from the black

glare from the darkest eyes. Whether there be any
truth in this doctrine it must be admitted that
friend has the authority of the poets on his side From
immenoria time, they have been something dark and
black eyes 10 the almost neglect of all others
gray eyes but all their poecal hctions with those
that are large, langushng lusrous and dark.
The vividness of eyes expression is not DEEPEN

opposite SEX than the scrutinzing
The eye the poetical of features, and ample
testimony has been borne in all time, its superiority
in this particular. There is much poetry in the smile
of one We love but there is in the cleaning kind

never look into the tranquil depths of ego, and
the shadows of thoughts winging their flight onward
Did you never read whole chapters about the sympathy
of souls in them If not your observation has not
been acute, nor your love very devout-
The sublime science of astroogy, which once COM
manded the faith ohe learned has been laughed at by
the wisdom scepticism Of more modern times The
doctrines and the devotion OF those old readers Of the
stars have been discarded and the human eye the
ly relict of astroogy earth has been confded.
Lovers are the sole Interiors of the romantic doctrines
bequeahed by elder asrologers to poserty. They do
not cast devont looks toward the bespanged armament

heaven and the eye is the that unfolds to them
the shadows of their coming destnies Their ancestors
read the DEGREES of fate in the giterng watchers ohe
