LIPS.

A wholesome LIP is thing to be loved
Peoplc are too much in the habit Of regard
ins lips q. mere appendages to the human
face diyine-orDameuts like ear rings, to
&c, off its beauty. This is 10 deract from
their true use and excellence. They serve
other purposes, and are indices Of charac'
ter.
A wholesome lip is Of the complexion OF
q morelo cherry. 1t pou,s like rose bud,
and nigh; lead bee astray, as the grapes
ofXepis did the bride. When kissing was
in fashion, galIan,s of taste showed pre-
ference for lips of this kind. There was
favor about ,hem-ambrosia, on which
young Love fed and grew fat.
The disciple Of Socrates was feminine in
the matter Of lips, for bees lowered over
,hem and the judgement Of bee in this
particular is scarcely inferior TO that of a
bachelor under thirty.
In general, people are apt to think their
noses of more importance than their lips,
and many saucy noses seem to be of the
rame way Of thinking; since we see them
turning up with high disdain, as if the lips
were go inferior as TO merit scorn.
No 'genteel,' we'll behaved nose is guilty
Of such dastardly effron,ery. Such an
one, it is true, may at times flap its nostrls
and crow Justify over its neighbors, as if j,
were cock of the walk but there is a
soft insinuation about an eloquent lip, tina,
cuts the comb Of the braggart, and nvari-
ably ,ames the monarch down to the mere
republican.
Our maiden aunt Sally wore lip, which
like her matrimonial chances, was rather
shriveled. 1t was a mere streak along
the horizon ; an indistinct margin along
an ocean of mouth; strip to tell 20,
where her teeth were. My aunt die'

EYES.

The vivdness Of an eyes expression IS
not dependent on its color. The eye Is
most expressive, whose owner has the
most thought and feeling, The eye ex'
presses the language Of the mind and heart !;
and whether light or dark, wherever there
is strong emotion, it manfests it. A man
is better reader of meaning in woman's
eve, than he is Of one Of his own gender ;
and lady discovers more Indications in the
eyes Of the opposite sex, than can the
most scrutlnizng man.
The eye is the mos. poetical Of features;
and ample testimony has been borne, in all
time, TO its superiority in this particular.
There is much poetry in the smile of one
we love but there is more in the cleaning
kindness Of an eye from which the con-
centra,ed rays Of feeling. thought and
sentiment arc looking forth. Did you ever
look in the tranquil depths Of an eye, and
see the shadows Of thought wiuging them.
selves 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 astrology, which
once commanded the faith Of the learned
has been laughed OF by the wisdom Of more
modern times. The doctrines and the
devotion of those old readers Of the stars
have been discarded; and to the human
eye the only relict Of asrology now on
earth has been confdcd Lovers are the
roe inhertors Of the roman,c doctrines
bequea,hcd by elder cs,rologe7s o pos;ori.
~. They do not cast devout looks towards
the bespanglcd armament, a! night; but
20 them, the brow Of beloved being is a
heaven, and the stsr that unfolds to them
tina shadows Of their coming destinics.
Their ancestors read ,ae DEGREES Of fate
u the gl,tering watchers Of the night sen
sv,,, and they foresee the mysteries Of the
future in the expressions which shift and
play upon the eye. If the eye Of his mis-
trees sparhles Ct ha approach, it is the
precursor Of eher joy. If the murky
shadow Of frown vcs,s upon it. It is the
foreboding Of the woe to come.
To the lover the eye Of his mistress lie
ever eloquent, OF hope or feor, of triumph
or defeat. l, is the polar star of bis hope,
the cynosure of his faith; and in the com.
plesion of the future changes as her eye
wanes in the shadow, or wakes into the
light Of day.

Coerdge somewhere relates story to
this effect: Alexander, during his march
into Africa, came to people dwelling in
peaceful huts, who knew neither war nor
conquest. Gold being offered to him, he
refused saying that lis sole object was to
learn the manners and customs Of the in
habi,ants. "Siay with u.s." says tho chic
"as long as it pleasclh thee" During this
interview with the African chief, two of hit
subjects brought case before him for judg
mcnt. The dispute was s:-The one
had bought of the other piece of ground.
which, after the purchase, was found to
contain treasure, for which he felt hiWsel
bound to pay. The other refused any
thing, stating that when he sold the ground
he sold it with all the advantages apparent
and concealed, which it might be found tc
afford. Said the chief, looking at the one
'you have son." and to the other, "you
have daughter let them be married and
the treasure be given as dowry." Alex
ander was astonlshed. Sand what" sale

LAUGHTER.

Yet talking Of laughing
as Mr.. Aircastle would say, own like
to laugh. 1t is worth hundred grcans in
any state Of market.
I never saw Frenchman laugh. They
smile, they grin, they shrug up their shoul-
ders, they cry "Ha!" and "Clel!" but they
never give themselves up to bois'erous
unlimited laughter. They have always a
rein upon their lungs, and their muscles
are drilled TO order. Their mirth does not
SAVIOR of flesh and blood. do not mean
to contend for that pampered laugh which
grows less and less, in proportion as it is
high fed, out for good broad humorous
English laugh, such as belongs 10 farce
or fair. The Germans laugh sometimes,
the Flemings often, the Irish always: the
Spaniards face is fused, and the Scotch
mans Maued into laugh; but n French
man never laughs. They smile indeed, but
what then '--Their smile is like their soup
--meagre, thin; their merriment squeezed
and strained. There is in it something Of
the acid Of their salads. something of the
puugency of their sauces, but nothing sub
,tantial. 1t is neither solid ethereal, but
thing between wind and water,-not Of
earth nor of heaven.--good nor bad; but
