THE PHILOSOPHY OF NOSES,

\ first division of noses, includes all that
are in proportion to the face, too small, l. C.,
all such as arc decidedly less than one-third
of the length of the face, or less long than
the forehead is deep. The varieties of these
are numerous in the snub, fiat, retrousse,
aud up-turuned, or celestial noses. The
natural types to which they are generally
referable are either the little noses of chill
dren, or the fiat broad noses Of negroes and
it is consistent with this that in men of
civilized races all such noses indicate de-
fective intellectual power; and do so with a
certainty of symbolism which nothing but
excellence in the form of the head, as in the
case of Socrates, can neutralize. They tell
of an unfinished intellectual Development !;
and the lower and fatter, and more snub
they are, the more certainly do they indicate
feebleness and meanness of intellect, and of
a mind in which bad temper more than good
judgment will have sway. 1t is not quite
so with woman. In them the whole organi-
zation, in its gradual develment, diverges
less than that of men does, from the almost
similar form which they both have in early
childhood. The retention, therefore, of the
little child,like-nose implies no such grave
defect in the woman's mind. If her head

A WORD TO BOYS.

Now, boys, we are going to give you bit
of advice, and we want to talk with you as
if you were all our brothers, (what young
army we should have, } and we wish you to
give attention till the lecture is done, and
We dismiss you with benediction.
We want to talk to you about your even
ings; Where do you spend them how do
you spend them? Are you in the streets? !?
are you at the theatre or the ball room?-
Are you meeting each other at corners of
lanes and alleys, or by the doors of country
shops, and there indulging in conversation
far from instructive, or using coarse and sim
full language? Or are you in your pleasant
homes, sitting by cheerful fresidcs, intently
engaged in reading some instructive volume,
which a master mind has prepared for the
purpose of beneftting his fellows?
If the former, we almost despair of your
becoming tolerable men, or useful citizens;
if the latter, you may be pursuing the up
ward path to usefulness, honor and fame.
Precious hours are these evenings that
you are thoughtlessly wasting; they are fast
feeting, and never will they return again.
How that inquiring mind might be strength
eued by the discipline of connected study
planned bya judicious parent or teacher.
Think of it, boys. What if you have
deficient education; go to work and study.
A college will not make you students, or
men of sturdy intellect. Make yourselves
You can do it-you alone have the power.
Determine that you will be known, that
your influence shall be felt, and it shall unto
you even be as you will. Discipline your
minds, learn something every evening. Fix
some historical fact upon your memery-solve
some problem in mathematics-learn the
boundary of some State Or country, get by
heart one rule of grammar, or study thor
oughly few definitions; only persevere,
and you will soon be astonished at your sue
cess. Such exercise will strengthen your
memory, invigorate your intellect, open up
delightful fields of thought, and give your
imagination the right kind of food, healthy
and agreeable.
Then, by-aud-by, do you think you will
regret that you have thus spent your time,
when you gather around your own fresides
men of genius and letters? When instead
of few slang words, coarse anecdotes, in
delicate mirth and boisterous sociablity, you
can converse about the world of letters, learn
some new theory of scientific Importance
listen to, and join in argument, advance
opinions, and feel yourself indeed man !
No, no; you vii! look back upon these
now despised hours as steppng-stoucs to for
tune, perhaps greatness Then give up your
idle companions, and make some happier by
your presence. Read to that aged man,
whose eyes have long been too dim to scan
the lettered page, and his beaming smile
shall repay you teufold. Spur the younger
oues of the household to action, by innocent
rivalry with them, thus striving to benefit
others as well as yourself. Be not content
in idlcness, but set your mark high, and
then climb the rugged hill of Parnassus,
crying, "Excelsior, excelsior"

food in producing fat, is familiar to every
owner of live stock. Fowls are fattened for
the London market by being confined in the
dark, and crammed with paste made Of
oat meal, mutton suet and molasses, or coarse
sugar mixed with milk. On this diet they
are ready in fortnight, but cannot we'll be
kept longer. The influence of external tenn
perature, excess of food, and want of exer-
else upon the condition of the liver, is seen
in that especial delicacy-foie gras. The
goose destined to furnish the luxury is shut
up in basket where it cannot move, kept in
room highly heated and assiduously stuffed
with food. There is a hole in its prison
through which it pokes its head to get at a
trough of charcoal and water. In a month
the liver has acquired the requisite size and
true flavor There are some human beings
who subject themselves to a similar discip-
line-a course of cramming and stufing,
heated rooms and an idle life. They would
do better, if instead of taking medicines for
dyspepsia, they would give full play to the
faculties of mind and body, and proportion
their food to the requirements of nature,
without any experiments in the way of de-
parture from the ordinary experience of men
in regard to suitable variety for the table
Man is an omnivorous animal-neither a
vegetarian nor muttonarian-an the per-
mission given by Divine Providence to "slay
and eat," as we'll as to use the fruits of the
field for food, is significant of the certainty
that our health ana comfort will be best pro-

HEALTH AND BEAUTY IN WOMAN
At eighteen, said foreigner, young A
merican woman is the prettiest in the world;
but at thirty, mon Dieu, she is already old
and ugly. Though there were some of
Frenchman's exaggerations in the remark,
there was also substance of truth. Why
is it that the beauty of our females fades so
soon? Or, to 60 at once to the real issue
for beauty is only permanent where there is
health-why is it that our women, as COM
pared with the women, of other temperate
climates, are 80 delicate and fragile
The answer may be made in few words.
1t is because they neglect air and exercise.
Weakness, lassitude, and fading complex
ion, as inevitably follow Incidence and con-
fnement as the willing of plant results
from its deprivation Of light. 1t is a law of
our existence, that We must take daily exer-
else if We would continue health. 1t is a
fact in physiology, that a pure atmosphere
is indispensable to vigorous vitality. All
the refinement of civilization, all the re-
sources of science, have failed to supply
substitute for fresh air and exercise. The
poor and rich stand on the same platform in
reference to this necessity of our nature
The lady in silks and satins can buy no Co.'S
metic so eficacious as the sunshine and
breeze which are poured out at every step Of
her humble sister.

BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATION An eloquent
New England orator lately delivered the fol-
lowing:
81 was told to-day story so touching in
reference to this that you LET me tell it.
1t is temperance case, but it will illustrate
this just as we'll 1t is the story of mother
on the green hills of Vermont, holding by
the right hand a son, sixteen years old, mad
with love of the sea. And, as she stood by
the garden gate on a sunny morning, she
said Edward, they tell me--for never
saw the ocean-that the great temptation of
the seaman's life is drink. Promise me that
before you quit your mothers hand, you will
never drink and said he, (for he told
me che story i gave her the promise, and l
went the broad globe over-Culcutta, the
Mediterranean, San Francisco, the Cape of
Good Hope, the North Pole, and the South
Seal saw them all in forty years, and I
never saw glass filled with sparkling liquor
that my mothers form by the garden gate,
on the green hillside of Vermont, did not
rise before me and to-day at sixty, my lips
are innocent of the taste of liquor. Cap
plause.) Was not that sweet evidence Of
the power of a single word? Yet that was
but half. 'For,' said he, yesterday there
came into my counting room a young man
of forty, and asked me, DO you know me ?
NO :Well,' said he, i was once brought
drunk into your presence on shipboard you
were passenger; the captain kicked me a.
side !; you took me to your berth and kept
me there until I had slept off the intoxica-
ton; you then asked me if I had mother !;
I said 1 never knew word from her lips !;
you told me of yours at the garden gate, and
to-day I am the master Of one Of the finest
packets in New York, and I come to ask you
to call and see me- How far that little
candle throws its beams That mothers
word on the green hillside Of Vermont! Oh,
God be thanked for the almighty power of a
single word"
