NOSES.
These handles to mems faces may be divided
into four classes, thus CIrecian, denoting ami
ability of disposition, equanimity of temper,
imagination, patience in labor, and resignation
in tribulation. Roman, imperiousness, cnur-
age, presence Of mind, nobleness of heart Cut
nr Tiger, cunning, deceit, revenge, obstinncy,
and se!iishneSs. Pug, imbecility of mind and
indeciSion Of character. or these classes there
are innumerable grades: the Grecian dcscends
TO the pug, the Roman to aquaiae, but the cat
or tiger is SUI geReriS The Grccian nose is
most conspicuous III quiet scenes OF li(e-iu the
study. The Roman, in spirit stirring scenes Of
life-in war. Men of science often, of imagna-
ton always, have the Grecian nose. Daring
soldiers generally have the Roman. Every one
knows what a pug is, for it provokeS our
smile. Yet do not Sncer at a man because he
has pug-nose; you cannot tell What may tur'it
up yourself!
The fuce is to the man what the tile page is
10 the book, or the dial is to the cocE--au index
of the interior. This is equally apparent in the
lncia variations of the lower anirnas. So self
evident is it. that it is scarcely necessary cite
illustrations of the fact.
Who has not observed the physognomy of
animals? There is an expression in the eye Of
IL mastif that forbids familiarity, and vacancy
in the optics of an Cwl which is highly SuggeS-
tive OF judicial WISDOM; there is good humor-
cd savageneSs about the lion which mast make
it quite n comfort to be killed hy the noble
animal. Do not say You have not traced the
phySingnomicai resemblance between builfT0g
and an alderman; at any rate, you muSt have
noticed the difference between meek AMI savage
cats; the lazy eye of the elephant is always
special attractions; he looks as If he thought his
temporary confinement for the purposes OF cX.
hihition was an immense joke, and that he en-
joycd it much, but really he waS too indolcnt
and monstrous to laugh. Plenty of instances
of animal phySiognOmy might be cited, but
every one can instantly call up sufficient in his
own memory to illustrate the subject.
woMANs EYES.
Many eyes are beautiful from expression
alone. Whatever of goodness emanatcS from
the soul gathers its soft halo in the eyes; and il
the heart bc lurking place Of crime, the eyes
tell Its evil tales Some eyes vary wonderfully
with the pGssing emotions of the hour We
have seen the doll, cold eye, grow liquid As the
Sight Of the morning, and bright as the star of
beauty, under the impulse of some holy and
tender sentiment. We have noted thc'eye that
seemed Tie outward emblem of IL meek spirit
fash like the fire that leaps from heaven
at the oppression of the weak and helpless
And many an eye that told Of solitary misan-
thropy has held world of feeling i'll its orb
when other lips have told him, 81 intrm$t those
treasures to yon. They arc my dearest, my
most Sacred-oh! be tender H tnein, Dear the'E
safely to their journeys end!"
Tie eyes of a child-how clear they are! how
sinless how full of the pure light Of innoreocc!
Is it not a pity that this dark, cloud colored
world should so often make them mirror 70"
its dcfo:mitc<?
Blessed be the maiden that hath gentle,
blue eye. Over her the graces hold peculiar
sway II the hand of affection has always min
stercd to her, and influences both happy aud
moral hcdged her from contact wisll vice and
passion. she is one Of the most amiable as well
as purest of beings. Great strength of intellect
she may not possess but great wealth of love,
which is better glory than honor can give, or
fame procure-wth that will she fill your dwell
ling and your heart
Artists love this style of beauty; they paint
the Mary y-mother, that blessed among women,
with blonde hair and eyes Of heavenly blue.
