LANGUAGE or THE EYE-The language
of the eve is very hard to counterfeit. You
can read the eyes of your companion while
you talk. whether your argument hits him.
though his tongue will not eonfessit. There
isa look by which man shows when he is
going to say good thing, and look when
he has said it. Vain and forgotten are all
the fine Offices Of hospitality if there be no
expression in the eye. How many furtive
invitations are avowed by the eyes, though
'dissembled by theilips. A man comes away
frou,ia company; he has heard no important
remark; but il in sympathy with society,
heis not innocent of such stream Of life
as has been flowing to him through the eye.
There are eyes which give no more admis-
sion into them than blae-Berries Others
are liquid and deep wells. that men Gighs
fall into And others are oppressive and
devouring. and take too much notice.
There are asking eyes. and asserting eyes
and proWling eyes, and eyes full OF faith,
some Of good aud some Of sinister omens.
i Gen. Sydney johnson prophesied, before the
battle Of Shiloh. that the war would end in the
center of Georgia, with both armies concenSated
there:--tF1at there would be a decisive battle in
which the Coufederates were bound to be sue
eessful. b agi4etn
If the great feet in the Chesapeake should
happen to have Grants army on board. and
should turn up at Port Royal, It would look q
little like prescience ON the part of that noble
man and gifted warrior.
If the use of words is. as Talleyrand said, 70
conceal IDEAS, some men have no need of words
for they have no ideas to conceal.
