CgANeE OF TIE HA1R-There are several instances
OF the hair having suddenly been changed from the
natural color by strong affection of the mind. The
Duke of Suy, il rs memoirs relates that Henry "
told the Marquis de la = rec that when he heard the
edict commanding oil huguenots to attend mass on
pain of Punishment, the moustache turned white
side of his face which he leaning On his hand. A
more general effect happened to in one of the
western ISLANDS, who was descending rock to gather
sea fowls nests While he suspended in The air By
rope be was attacked by two eagles who had their
ere in the crag and making a stroke at them with his
dirk severed the rope his head to single ply he
Immediately made the signal to be drawn up, and
recovered in safety but when he reached the summit
OF the rock, his hair turntd gray with fear.
1t is told of Mr. Palmer once postmaster in Ireland,
that having suffered some reflections from the Duke of
Portland and having vaiuy demanded satisfaction of
that nobeman in the night be refused to fight his hair
was entirely changed to gray. A similar change hap
Oened to the de Las Casas the night after he learned
the Punishment of the Emperor Napoleon to St. Hele-
na. II is said of German nobleman that on the night
of bis condemnation to DEATH the hair turned as white
as fax. A less rated and more ignobls instance was
Maocoul, the robber of Paisley Bank, and supposed
murderer of Bgby whose hair in the last three months
of bis life changed from jet black to silver gray.

Everybody has heard The story of Canute the Great.

fortune as Kind OF omuip nature as well
as men, he quietly ordered his throne to be set on the

A good instance of this symbolism is related of Alex

him against of bis officers. When the informer
began his statement Alexander turred one ear towards
him and closed the other firmly with his hand imply
ing that he who would form Just Judgment must not

he should reserve the oher, without bias proposes
