lston, too, some years ago cleared of men his property in Ireland, exac.ly in the manner described above,
 If of any property it ever, was true that it was robbery, it is literally true ol the property of the British alistocsacy. Robbery of Church property, robbery of commons, fraudulous transformation, ac. companied by murder, of feudal and pa triarchal property into private property I-these are the titles of British aristo> crats 10 their possessions. And what services in this latter process were per- formed by setvile class of lawyers, you may see from an English lawyer of the last century, Dalrymple, who, in his History of Feudal Property" very naiyely proves that every law or deed concerning property was interpreted by the lawyers. in England, when the middle class rose in wealth, in favor of the mid> dls class-in Scotland, where the nobil> ity enriched themselves. in favor of the nobility-in either case it was interpreted n sense hostile to the people.
 The above Turkish reform by the Countess of Sutherland was justiiable, at least. from Maithusian point of view. Other Scottish noblemen went further. Having superseded human beings by sheep, they superseded sheep by game, and the pasture grounds by forests. At the head of these ~as the Duke of A thol.

with the mind, and yet they always
 bear the impress of its prevailing traits.
 Look moment at this meteorological
 process. The nerves are the extension
 Of the brain the nervous and muscular system are more fully developed in our
 features than elsewhere-and that sys- tenn is there doubly vital with action.
 It is busy in telegraphing the mental impressions to the face, and writing them down in its every lineament.-
 And if healthy action strengthens the muscular tissues, our every look, whether cheerful or disagreeable, is moulding every feature. 1.-the person is of a hoping temperament, the sensi- tive little tissues oi his countenance are lit up withits genial sunlight; if he is desponding and gloomy, those delicate organs take dark shade. How often does the. youthful face, that picture of innocence, lose is lesh6es md wriukled care, low -browed melaDoholA '
 pale fear, and the like, bespoil with foul touches, the once fair and lovely grouping. It is the mindAthe char acter, that does this so if the mind cannot make, 1t can mar. It lays Van dal hand on the Creators works-and in this the individual is to be held an- swerable. .......a- .r-.-..
 The more violent the emotions, the more deep will they leave theif traces. So it is said of Kossuth, that during the short visit of few hours which he paid to the tomb of Washington, his countenance seemed changed as by the care of many years j; such changes do strong feelings create in the expression.
 All this may seem to some triaing matter. But mind is Gods gift, and il its bestowal and use place US under obligation-then our subject becomes one of no little interest. We are held accountable for our mental character and acts and as these are expressed and dramatized even in the expression and looks of the face, we are to see in the question a matter not so much of curiosity as of moral character.
 There is a recuperative power in the muscular system the body reacts upon the mind. Like the Tartar's bow, outward action directs its attack back ! ward upon the intellect whence it had it's origin. Muscular effort, gesture, aids the speakers mind. 1t is probable l that the features and expression of may in their turn leave their impress upon the character.
 And it should not be forgotten that this is also a question of social and moral influence. Our character goes on daily and hourly streaming out tnro' look, gesture and uterance. Ore mind thus gradually but effectively acts up- on others. The genial benignant ex-
 ression of Howard, or of the beloved John will surely exert happier infu- ence upon society than the cruel look Of Nero or the cynical countenance of Voltaire. ,,, x

Getting Married.

During the last summer little inci> dent transpired in one of the eastern towns, whch afforded some amusement to the spectators at the time, and furnish. ed food for a considerable gossip there- after. It occurred in a church, on one of those quiet Sunday afternoons, when all the world seems just ready to drop asleep: when the flies buzz lazily on the window panes, and the dog lies quietly on the door stone. s...
 The afternoon services had ended and the congregation were arranging them- selves for the benediction, when to tue great astonishment aud manifest interest of the worshippers. the good parson de- scended from the pulpit to the desk be- low. and said in a calm clear voice. Those wishing 10 be united in the holy bonds of matrimony will now please to come forward. A deep stiffness instant- ly fell over the congregation, broken only by the rustling of silk, as some pretty little girl or excited matron changed her position, to catch tue first view of the couple to be married. No one, however, arose or seemed in the least inclined 10 arise. Whereupcn, the worthy clergy> man. deeming his first notice unheard or misunderstood, repeated the invitation.
 "Let those wishing to be uDitnd in the holy bonds of matrimony now come forward.
 Still no one stirred. The silence became almost audible, and . painful sense of the awkwardness of the position was gradu' ally spreading among those present, when a young gentleman, who had occupied | vacant slip in the broad aisle during the service. slowly arose, and deliberately walked to the foot of the altar. He was good looking and well dressed, but nc one present knew him, and no female ac- companied his travels. When he arrived within respectable distance of the cler- gyman. he paused. and with reyerent bow stepped to one side of the aisle, but neither said anything or seemed at al! discon:erted at the idea of being mavried alone. The clergyman looking anxious, | iy around for the bride -who he supposed was ye: to arrive-at length remark ked t' the gentleman. in an undertone.

MISCELLANY.
For the Enquirer.
 Men Responsible for their Looks.

! It was an idea of Swedenborg that the world is an emanation of deity, and that mans body is product of his mind, drawn out as the oak is from the acorn. This hypothesis is uniounded but it is nevertheless true that the soul yields not a little influence over the outward nature.
 When we say that men are respon- sible for their looks, we do not mean to fall into Swedenborg's notion, and affirm that they had hand in their own creation, so that they can look down with contempt on the brutes- and up heavenward, and blame them selves that they have not an angelic or god-like form.
 But in a certain sense our afirma- ton is true: cast of countenance and. expression is caused by the tempera- ment or the disposition of the indiyid- ual. Every mental trait or impulse leaves some trace-writes some hlni upon the outward person. Especially is this true of ',he human face divine Upon it is sketched mind. The soul even in sgolden silence may discourse through it its genial wisdom. An in- ,elligent face means more than l'nd- scape its every line is the trace Of a thought: it's every shade or tint is burnt there by an emotion; the eye laughs and languishes -the lip quivers with scorn--,he cheek blanches with fear or glows with exultant joy-lhe brow mantles under its earnest thought. And all this is but answering to the oracle within. True we may disguise our feelings; hypocrisy can wear a mask. But this is to be treated hardly as an exception. Art usually betrays itself, and looks artificial. In the ei- fort in self-rossession one discovers himself. Despite all our precautions. hope will smile-anger frown-tho'' Hook out serene-revenge brood dark Hing. Collins ode on the passions finds an interpreter. Nay, the countenance l is the original poem of which that po- cts is but an imperfect copy.
 The common use of language lavors :he same idea. We often speak of q iperson's wearing pleasant or melan' choly aspect, or looking cheerful ol lorbidding. And we thus do in the tone of compliment or complaint.
 Add to this the practice of the the anical performances of pantomlne. l In dumb but expressive action the mind so dramatizes itself that it affords 10 many subject of whole evenings O intellectual diversion.

 On a surface of two square miles, t

 face trodden down by the cavalry, aRd furrowed deeply by the cannon wheels, strewn with many . relic of gbe fight

Mothers.s wives. and children, for nsys were occupied in the mournfnl duty. and the confusion of the corpses, friend and foe intermingied as they were. often rendered the attempt at recognizing individuals difficult. and in some cases Impossible. In many cases the dead lay four feet deep upon each other, marking the spot some British square had occupied. when exposed for hours to the murderous fire of fthe French battery.
 Outside, lancer and curassier were scattered thickly on the earth. MadlY attempting to force the serried bayonets of the British, they had fallen in the bootless essay by the muskets of the in- ner files. Farther on you traced the spot where the cavalry of France and England had encountered Cassenr and Huzzar were intermingled. and the heavy Norman horse of tho Imperial Guard were inteEspersed with the grey chars ges which had carried Albiop's ehisslry, Here the Highiander and trailer lay side by side together, and the heavy dragooa. with green Erin's badge upon his helmet, was grapplinS in death with tue Polish lancer. =.
