cral, but nothing in particular
The width of the eye indicates impressibil-
ty. The most beautiful eyes have long,
rather than wide opening Eye lids which
are widely expanded, 50 far as to give round
form to the eye, like those of cat and the
owl, Indicate ability to sec much with little
light. Eycids, on the contrary, which more
| nearly close over the cyo, denote less facility
| OF Impression, but clearer insight, more def
mite IDEAS and greater stcatincss and pcrma-
nence of action. Round-cycd persons see
much, live much in the senses, but think less.
Narrow-cycd persons sec less, but think more
and feel intensely.
Arranging all the various colorcd eyes in
two grand classcs-light and dark-wc would
say that tho dark indicates power, and the
light delicacy. Dark eyes are tropical their
fires may sleep, but they arc like slunlbcring
volcanoes. Such eyes generally accompany
| dark complexion, great toughncss of body,
much strength of charactcr u powerful but
not subtle intellect, and strong PASSIONS
Light eyes, on tho other hand, belong to tom
peratc regions, and they arc temperate. They
may glow with love and genial warmth, but
they never burn with consuming fire like
the torrid black eyes. The accompanying
complexion is generally fair, and the hair light.
Persons thus characterized are amirhlc in their
disposition, refined in their tastes highly sus,
| ccptibc OF improvement, aud arc mentally nc.
tive and versatile. The light.cycd races have
attained higher degree of civilization th"n
the dark races. When the complexion is dark
and the eyes light, as is sometimes the case,
there will be combination of strength and
dclicacy Brown and hazel eyes may perhaps
be considered as occupying the middle ground
between tho dark and the light.
Black eyes are of four kinds: first, the small,
hard black eye which looks like a bead, and
which ono might crack like Il cherry stone !;
secondly, the glowing, cuvcrnous black eye,
but with smouldcring fire third, the soft,
| swimming black eye; and fourth, the large,
rs the hush Of midnight, still MS the mourtain
lake" yet full of passion, full of thought and
intellect.
Brown eyes arc often confcunded with hazel,
but though hazel eyes arc brown they deserve
to form q separate class. "Thc true brown
eyes have softncss and beauty of their own.
Some arc eagcr, quick and merry; they grn-
orally go with light hair, and fair, fresh com
plcNions their laughing brightness, their
frank glanccs arc as different from the cooler
and cnlmcr look Of the hazel us light from
darkness.
Hazel eyes rr light brown have character
Of thoi own. speaking: vr hnxo."ycd girls,
Major Noah said "a hazel eye never clopcs
from her husband, never chats scandal, pre-.
fcrs his comfort to her own, never talks too
much or too littlc-always is an intellectual,
! agreeable aud lovely creature. The gray is
| the sign Of s!,rewcncss and talent. Great
thinkers and captains have it. In woman it
indicates better head than heart The dark
hazel is as noble as it is beautiful The blue
is amiable, but may be feeble The black -
take care there's thunder and lightning
there"
Another writer says: Black eyed women
| eyed, soulful, aflcctiona.c and coniding gray
eyed, literary, philosophical, rcsolutc and cold;
hazel-cycd, hasty in temper and inconstant in
| feeling"
| AS the eyebrows arc very closely connected
with tho eyes in action and expression, we no
! tlce them Eyebrows may be very thick or
thin, fine or coarse, smooth or bushy, archcd
or straight, regular or irregular, each form
and quality has its special significance in ref
crcncc to temperament and character. Thick
strong eyebrows are generally found in conncc
ton with abundant hair on the head and 9TH
cr parts Of the body with full development
of the motive and temperament When
coarse, bushy and irregular, we may expect
coarscncss harshncss and uncycnncss of char
actcr.
Thin, fine delicate eyebrows, are indicative
of iine-graned organization, and an active il
moi predominant mental temperament.
Straight eyebrows are masculine elements
of character; arched eyebrows arc more com
mon to women. Low, projecting eyebrows
arc indicative of disccrnmcnt, and less direct
ly, reflection An eyebrow greatly elevated,
on the contrary, indicates less disccrnmcnt
and the absence of severe thought. The low
cring or frowning of the eyebrow indicates
the exercise of authority, especially when it
