A VALUABLE DEAD LETTER-Th, Rev. Mr. Sturgeon has been known to receive as many as 400 letters in day. Many of them are anonymous. and on many the postage is not prepaid. The reverend gentleman now refuses all the letters. One of these a short time ago, after having been in the Dead Letter office and opened there, was sent again to Mr. Sturgeon, with statement that the letter was anonymous and therefore could not be return. ed to the writer, and that it contained a valua- ble inolosure. The reverend gentleman paid the postage, and found S2O note in the letter,

Nosrs! WHAT THEY MEAN.-You will never be able to find man of intense reflective pow CTS having nose thin and sharp at the ncstli. The grand nose of Layater we have already de. scribed l; but the congitatiye nose is something quite different from it. It only peters to the gristly pats below the bridge of the nose. It may, or may not, be found in connection with beauty. Oliver Cromwells is truly ugly, but so indicative of vigor and portsnteus energy that sensitive man might throw himself into a dt of terror by mere dint of gazing on his dropping flesh point, restrated, and loadly ill., surved like the adze of shipwright. Cole ridges forms remarkable contrast to Crom- wells.
 It has the broad thoughtful character in a very large degree, but in other respects it is weak lamentably weak nose. only quarter of the length of the face, whilst Cromwell's exceeds third. There is no physiognomy in all picture galleries, sculptor's chisel work or naaismatie record, since the kings first struck their type in metal that stands out like terrible old Noll's, for man to govern, lead a fight, yet on the whole do justice. Ther. is wavy beautifnlness about Philips head of Coleridge : but we are upon noses, and must say, Alas 1 that nose." There is nothing commoner than the defect of that nose. Every tenth man you meet is Lilliputian- Roman and while such su perlatlve energy belongs to the genuine eagle beak that the sagacious Greeks bestowed it on Jupiter himself, thls Lilliputan- Roman is the very antithesis of will. Embeish It prodigal- ly as you will with the gifts, it has no power.
 1t is weaker than ''snub." It is at the op. posite pole to Roman energy. Beware of trust ing business to Iilliput Roman. Yet We have seen these noses pretending to authority, to be fathers of a family, and to have wife in subjection to them. Subjection! why nothing could make anything on earth submit to them but another inch in length tackled on to them. The difference is startling when you turn from this period to the noses of the French Revolu- ton, and the snn-.-. ;, v.ProssIuH or JHe counte- Pettiness distinguishes the nose, and cruelty the face of these men.
 Ons Sees distinctly in the French counten. ances what history demonstrates, that those men were leaders by accident, rapidly succeed ed each other, and were the product of scum of chaos and anarchy. It was net their indi- vidaal will shaping events, and grandly direct ing, that raised them to that eminenoe, but volcanic eruption that losses out stones in showers, which quickly drop, yet leaves cloud of ashes and lightest dross floating for time, until blown away miles to seaward. It has Been said that words etymologically considered are fossil history" and 80 the noses of an epoch are synopsis of his history-Eyeetic and Congregational Revie,c.
