in faces, tracing the distinctive features
peculiar TO the Slovenian, Tartar, Nj
bian and Malay, in the countenanees we
meet every day on the street, and then
passes to the resemblance of the various
animals, We will extract a portion Of the
latter part Of the article; .,..-,...
But the animal faces, there is no limit to.
them Dogs alone supply the outlines
Of half the portraits we know There is
the bull dog-that man in the brown suit
yonder, with handy legs and heavy shoul-
ders--did you ever see kenneled muzzle
more thoroughly the bull dog than this ??
The small eyes close under the brows, the
smooth bullet forehead, the heavy Jaw and
snub nose, all are of essentially bull dog
breed, and at the same time essentially
British. Then the mastiff with double
| bass voice, and the square-hanging jaw );
and the shabby looking turnspit, with his
hair out at all sides, and his eyes drawn up
to- its roots and the greyhound, lean
of rib, and sharp. of face; and the terrier,
who is often lawye yer-with a snarl in his
voice and l1ind.of restlessness in his eve,
as if mentally worrying a rat-his client;
and the tyke, all beard and moustache and
glossy curls, with a plaintiye expression
Of countenance- and exceedingly. meek de
meanors; and the noble old Newfoundland
dog, perhaps a brave old soldier from active
service who is chiyalrous to women and
gentle to children, and who repels petty,
anneyances with grand patience that is
verbally heroic. Reader, if you know a
Newfoundland dog-man, cherish hin, stupid
as he will probably be, yet he is worth your
love. Then we have horse-faccd men /; like
camels, with quite the camel lip and the
shcepfaced man, and the forehead retreat
ing from his long, energetic nose-smooth
men, without Whiskers, and with shining
hair cut close, and not curling like pointers;
the lion-man-he is {. grand fellow and
the bull-hcaded man the fat serpent head;
the tigers, Ike an inverted pyramid the
giraffe's lengthy unhdpfulncss3; and the
sharp red face of the fox. Don't We meet
men like these at every step we take in
London ?-and if we know any such in
timately, don't we invariably find that their
characters correspond somewhat with their
persons? Ink er
| The women, too, we have likenesses for
them. | know woman who might have
been the ancestress Of all the rabits in all
the hutches Of England. A soft, downy-
looking, fair, placid woman, with long hair
looping down ears, and an innocent face
Of mingled timidity and surprise. She is
a. sweet tempered thing, always eating or
! sleeping; who breathes hard when she goes
4 up stairs, and who has as few brains in
working order as a human being can get
on with. She is just a, human RABBIT and
nothing more; and sheilooks like one. We
all know the setter woman--the best Of all
| types graceful, animated, well formed, in
4 telligent, with large eyes and wayy hair,
who walks with a firm tread, but light one,
and who can turn her hand to anything.
| The true setter-Woman is always married
she is the real woman Of gtheaworld, Then
! there is the zAlenheim spaniel, who covers
up her face in her ringlets, and holds down
| her head when she talks, and is shy and
timid. And there is the greyhound wo-
man, with lantern jaws and braided hair
/ and large knuckles, rather distorted There
is the eat7woman, too; elegant, stealthy,
clever caressing who walks swithout noise,
and is great in the .wayaof endearment.
fNo limbs are supple as hers, no backbone
SO wonderfully plant, no voice so sweet, no
manner so endearing. She extracts your
secrets from you before you have spoken
and haitian hours conversation with that
graceful purring woman has revealed to
her every most dangerous@4act it has been
your life's study to hide The cat woman
Is most dangerous animal She has claws
hidden in that velvet paw, and she can
draw blood when she unsheaths them.
Then there is the cow-faced woman, gen
orally Of plegmatic temperament and mel
ancholy disposition, given to pious books
and teetotalism. And there is the lurcher-
woman, the strong5yisaged, strong-minded
female, who wears rough coats with mems
pockets, and large bone buttons, and whose
bonnets. tllng a spiteful defiance at both
beauty and fashion. This is that wonder
iul creature who electrifies foreigners by
climbing their mountains in .amongrel kind
Of attire, in which mems cloth troBsers
show The most striking feature; and who
| goes about the business Of life in rough,
grufi, lurcher-llke fashion, as. If grace and
beauty Were the two cardinal sins OF wo-
manhood, and she were on a. mission to
put them down. This is not desirable
