Lavater was once quite "the go"
And Noses and Eyes were the plan,
Bywhich all the wise ones would know
The talents and thoughts of man:
As for Noses, | know not, vow,
What they really mean or import,
But all who read Sterne, must allow
That long ones preferred to a short.
But oh. Ills the glance Of the Eye
'Tis the radiance its flashes impart,
Gives the light that ! love to read by,
When study the Head or the Heart.
And who is so sightless or dull
But could learn much more by one look,
OF what passes within Heart or skull,
Than by studying Spurzheim's whole book
There are Eyes of all colors and huos,
In tn gcntlest graduation, quite down
From the brightest Of blacks and of blues,
To the softest of hazel and brown:
And still as they vary in hue,
Expression, or lustre, YOU find
Each visit of light to lock through,
And study each thought'of the mind,
The Black Eye, all sparkling and bright,
Shows soul full oi genius and ire,
Melting softly mL Loves tender light,
But flashing respondent in ire
Tho Brown Eye, bewitching and mind,
Speaks heart that is gentle and true,
Than the Black Eye less fiery and wild,
More tender and fond than The Blue.
Yet Blues sweet color | own,
The bright laughing due Of high Hsay'n,
Which to light and .ay heart al'ne
By the young God Of Love haa been given.
Thus wicked Blue Eyes! to b. sure,
What hayoc they'd make in the heart,
Were they not much more given to cure
Than to lengthen the pang of Loves smart
But Lavaters no longer "tho 60"
Now spurzhein and Gall are the fashion
BY the shape of the skull you're to know.
For the future, ca Oh talent and passion,
Your grandfather looked for wife
With face that was fair and pursc'full,
But you, us you value life,
Must look to the shape of her Skull.
Her forehead, like Jove's, must be large,
Expansive, full, prominent, too
Asi proud OF the brains in it's charge,
1t exultingly swel'd into view.
But shuna too prominent Eye,
For the organ of language Is there
An organ which all men decry,
When developed too much in the fair,
There are some pleasant organs behind,
Seated Just at the top Of the neck
But il too large, 'twcre hard. you will find
To keep; such lady in cheek; /.
For Love, who was once SO cublime,
Has Quilted his seat in tho soul,
Where he lived, in the good "eIdcn time"
For snug little spot in tho poll
But no longer on organs to dwell
What need Of organ now speak
Which it is to be hoped you'll know wSl9
Before you are married week!

No beauty in shape you're to find.

THESE are but different notifications o,
the same disease, arising from the same cause
distinguished by the same diagnosis, and
curabe by the same remedies. Their com
mon cause is an Irregular action of the Elcc-
tro- Galvanc forces in the system, they may
all be detected by pressure upon the sides OF
the vertibrg and glands Of the neck, which
elicits the Electro -Galvanic Symptoms, and
they may be cured by these Electro Magnet
ic remedies. The latter are accompanied by
compendous medical treatise, explaining
the principles of the discovery upon which
they arc founded. and stating the manner IN
which they are to be applied. In this work
DIR. Sherwood demonstrates the fact that eve
ry part of the human body, together with
every particle of animate and lnanimate mat
ter, is either in n negative or positive state
of electricity; and that every motion, IN all
matter, whether in the largest masses or in
the smallest PARTICLES, is produced by the at
tracing and rcpelling forces of this nnlver-
sal principle. The morbid action which pro-
duces disease Of the organs or imbs,he proves
to be occasioned by the undue preponderancc
Of one Of these forces in the system, and his
remedies restore health by subdung this ir-
regular action to an equilibrium. BY this
means, the very seeds Of the disease are
eradcated, and a permanent cure effected,
even in cases whore all hope Of relief from
other sources is abandoned. The Electro
Magnetic Remedies are the only preparations
applicable to this prevailing class Of disease,
and they never dsappont the confidence re-
posed in them. They can be used with per-
feet safety and success, without dieting, or
any Inconvenience.

H A WHALE FiGnr.-From the description
given us of the sangninary battles which not
unfre quenty occur between Sperm Whales
we should think that no animals fight with
such dreadful ieroclty. The females always
90 in drovcs of about twenty, with one very
large male in company. A majority of the
males wander over the ocean alone. When
ever n lone whale meets with drove, he
II forthwith turns upon the male of the group
and gives him battle. Our informant says
he attacked one of these males while en-
gagged in n fight and succeeded in taking
him. Their manner of fighting is bold and
destructive. They run backward from each
other several rods, and then rapidly advance
hcad-formost, their great square heads meet
ing with dreadful sudJcnnoss. The scene
was one Of dreadful display. The two mon.
stcrs, being amongst the largest Of ibcir'spc-
cics, advanced upon each other, with their
iaws, which measured sixteen feet in length,
widely extended, exhibited huge rows of
great teeth, and presenting the most ferocious
appearance. They clcavcd much of the
hcsl from each others heads, and left deep
marks OF their immense teeth in other parts.
n The alray one Of them had his jaw Slowed
round, aud many of his teeth stove out, while
the jaw of the other was broken off, so that
1t hung to the head only by the flesh. II is
said tha, these battles are not Uncommon
