ABOUT EYES.

ABOUT EYES.
From collection Of sayings by differ
ent writer's upon the color of the eye, and
its indications, in the last number of the
chronological Journal, we clip the fol-
lowing:
Here is what some lover of blue eyes
says of the cerulean orbs most dear to
him. Oh, azure-eyed maidens, hear him
"The eyes that borrow their tints from
the summer sky-what eyes they are {!
How they dazzle and bewilder !-how they
melt and soften how they fash in scorn
and swim in tears, till ones heart is
scarcely worth moments purchase, even
for housewives sieve!
''The large ]ight.blue eye, with the
golden eye-lash and the family traced
brow-the type OF heavenly purity and
peace--the calm, cad blue eye that thrills
ones heart with single glance, and the
well-opened one that dashes upon you
with a glorious light-with a smile that
makes your head whirl, and meaning
that you never forget--oh, blue eyes! blue
eyes! that have looked upon me here and
there, that have stirred my heart and
haunted my dreams for ten long years
that have shOne upon me in the summer
sky at noon, and the winter sky at night
that have looked up from every page
have written, and almost from every page
have read!"
BLACK EYES.
Of these ON admirer enumerates four
kinds First, the small, Brilliant, hard
black eye that looks like bead, and which
one might crack like cherry-stone; Sec
Ond, the glowing, cavernous black eyes,
hot with smou ldering fires; third, the
soft swimming, sleepy black eyes; and
fourth, the large well set and finely form
ed black eye, "solemn as the hush ofmid-
night still as mountain lake, yet full of
passion, full of thought and intellect and
feelings that rise in storm till the quiet
surface glOws again-an eye that has no
need of words-tbat never smiles, but
knows tho warmth of tears; en- eye that
goes straight to the heart with single
glance, and never leaves it more an eye
that does not intOxicate like the blue, but
draws you steadily and surely on, and
touches chords in your heart which have
been untouched before, and can never
wake for lesser power again.
''The first may be the eye of vain
beauty and belle. Eugene Aram. I fancy,
had the second, and many an inmate of
Bedlam has it now. The third languishes
in the harem of the Turk and the fourth
it is well it is not common one. or we
should all be worse off than we are now
is the most beautiful and also the most
dangerous of all For the blue eye launch
es score of arrows, whose wounds may
one day heal; but this has only one, and
if it hit the mark, heaven help you! the
poison shaft will liDger in your heart for
ever"
Thy brown eyes have look like birds,
Flying straightway to the light.
Mrs. Bro,oning.
Brown eyes are often confounded with
hazel, but, though hazel eyes are brown,
they deserve to form separate class.
".The true brown eyes," an anonymous
writer says, shave softness and beauty
peculiarly their own. Some are eager,
quick, and merry they generally go with
light hair, and fair, fresh compilations,
and their laughing brightness, their frank
glances, anil as different from the cooler
and calmer look of the hazel as light from
darkness. Others, strangely enough, have
o reddish glow, or rather an auburn light,
that gives them a peculiar charm, espe-
cially if, as l have often seen, the hair
matches, shade for shade. Others, of a
more decided brown, go with a black hair,
as the case may be, and others still are
large and soft, with starry light within
"a twilight radiance, rather-that only
need the curling hair, and the pale, gentle
face, the dainty form, and the tender, wo>
manly heart, to complete the charm"
lls HAZEL EYES.
Hazel or light brown eyes have char
acter Of their own, differing essentially
from the true blue ones of the preceding
class Speaking of hazel-eyed girls, Major
Noah once said -
"a hazel eye inspires at first sight
Platonic sentiment, as securely founded as
the rock of Gibralter. A woman with
hazel eye never elopes from her husband,
never chats scandal, prefers his comforts
to her own, never talks too much or too
little-always is an intellectual, agreeable,
and lovely creature.
"The grey is sign OF shrewdness and
talent. Great thinkers and captains have
it. In women it indicates better head
than heart. The dark hazel is as noble in
its significance as in its beauty. The blue
is amiable, but may be feeble. The black
take care, there's thunder and lightning
there" f:,Hto

grey eyes, eings their praises thus =
