On the subject Of Atuactigeness, the Doctor
makes some nice distinctions, which are net laid
down in our usual trealises on Philosophy ana
Ethics:
Allowing that there IS no detect in the ner .es
Which are the Instruments OF sensation, the thin
ner the skin the more delicate will &c the sense
OF feeling and touch. Without the intervention
OF the skin, there could be no proper sense OF feel
ing, but only pain and suffering; and II the skin
were very thick the perception OF the qualities Of
things would be exceedingly dull and the pleas,
ure from this source wOud be cut OF. When a
person with much Attracfiveuess touches any
thing il is lightly, aud lie chooses that the ooect
shall be soft and light, for then the sensation is
agreeable and natural, being suited TO the soft
ness and delicacy OF the instrument, and 10 tue
hneness OF the sense. He loves also TO haze the
sensation Infused or spread over more est su'Sd
surface for thus it is made more soft and eNiGi-
., sow tn
capacity Of endurance fuid element perfectly
surrounding the body IS capable OF atfording the
greatest luXuriance OF sensation. The de ghtlal
effects of salubrous cline, or OF genial arnios-
phere like that of an Indian Summer are realized
most by those who have most Attractiyeuess; and
such persons have generally large sign of Love
of Enjoyment in the face. A person with coarse,
thick skin, handles things more roughly, and
needs to come in contact with them more violently
in order to feel them. He may even take moro
pleasure in blows and thumps from solid subs
stances than in the gentle pressure OF ar, water,
and the softest down. The OK has thick skin.
and heavy blows from & cartwhip do not appear
to awaken very much sensation in him. wood
en- yoke on the neck does not make him ilaeh
from the shock and pressure of heavy load The
horse. on the contrary, has thin skin; he feels
the lash keenly and is easily CALLED IN the har-
ness The elephant, with his very thick integu-
ment. must be driven with a sharp iron. All AMI

and comparatively insensbe while those with
thin skins are tender and easily hurt.
Ii is well known that the sense OF feeling Is at
erent in different parts OF the oody-thae III sotHS
parts it is dull and accompanied with 'eeilng OF
Indifference and that in others 1t Is acute ana ex'
ceedingly pleasurable. These differences are so
great as almost to constitute number OF distinct
Senses but they are only degrees OF the same
sense and agree with tho hneness or coarseness
NJ different portions of the skin In no part OF the
face is the sign of Attractlveness or the neness,
thickness, sottness, smoothness dehcacy, and
transparency of the skin equal TO that III the lips,
and here certainly the quality Of Attractiveness is
in proportion to the sign. The ruby rednesa Of
the lips is owing to the transparency which ac
companies the tineness and thinness, as bet0ra
stated; and those whose lips are very red have q
proportionate thinness Of the skin of the face SO
that if the circulation be not deficient, they have
rosy countenances, and show whatever emotion
affects the heart which is very apt On this account
to be considered the fountain of the affections as
ii is the fountain of the blood. They have also
very great decacy of feeling and touch and are
so attractive in all respects that the lips may not
direct particular attention to themselves, but re-
ceive only their due share OF admiration This 10
especially the case with those whose minds are
well balanced, or who have as much Of one cass
of faculties as of another.
Next to the skin of the lips in thnness is that
of the cheeks; and IN those who have much At
tractveness these have delicate carnatlon, co.
gether with a gentle soitness, that places them
next the lips in the estimation OF lovers, and be-
fore the lips in the estimation Of friends Those,
too, who are inclined to prudishness or who wish
to keep their hearts safely, think more highly OF
rosy cheeks than of ruby lips, because the attract
iveness OF the former is less powerful and there
fore less dangerous. The attractiveness OF tho
faculties of love, which are connected with the
cerebeum is indicated in the lips and the at
6 md of,aatic QtFpptIOna
which are connected with the posterior lobe, ID
indicated in the cheeks The contact Of cheek
with cheek expresses the mutual confidence and
love of intimate friends, OF parents, chlldrens
brothers and sisters It is prompted by these aec'
tons as much as the meeting OF lips expresses
and is prompted by the responsive love Of thosa
who are more intimately related
But, as the love between the sexes is more
frequently perverted than the former, it appears
in most cases less pure and beautiful In ats out
W ard manifestation The practice OF kissing the
lips is unnatural when it is made the expression
oil any other feeling than conjugal love- and IN
most instances when it does not express this feet
ing it is a token OF professions merely, or OF hes'
terv and hypocrisy, as it in Judas lscarlot
when he BETRAYED his Master. Even when it
does express love between the sexes, and when
there ia no tie of consequently to prevent ing
coniugal relation, it is IN the great majority o.
cases the token OF a perverted and deprayea
afecton-ot a love that is only selfish ana sensual
and thai gradually leads to misery and rum l
this be so, the lips should be invested with kind
of sacredness, like something set apart and con-
secrated to a holy use-to conjugal love, which ig
ordained of Cod and hallowed by It's correspond
dence to the sacred union of Good and Truth.
When we make solemn vow in court OF JUS
tice. we kiss the Bible and what is the slgntn-
canoe of this or why should the lips be associated
with the most holy and sacred things, if what has
been said of them be not true
There are moments when the affections which
spring directly from the coniugal relation are 80
oyerfowed and baptized by it, that they seem 70
be but parts Of the same blessed emotIon-ane
then it is that the token OF conjagal love IS tho
language of them all The husband and the wife
kiss tue pledge OF their mutual love- in whom 10
the image Of them both--and it is as if they be-
slowed this mark of affection upon each othef
with more delicate sentiment than il would %
otherwise possible to express and the passive
bnt seemingly active kiss of the child is but the
