ernous black eye, but with smoulderins
fire; third, the soft, swimming black eye
and fourth, the large, well set and finely
formed black eye, "solcmn as the hush o
midnight, still as the mountain lake" ye
full of passion, full of thought and intel
lect.
Brown eyes are often confoundcd with
hazel, but though hazel eyes arc brown
they deserve to form a separate class
"Tho truo brown eyes" have q softncss
and beauty of their own. Some arc eager
quick and merry they generally go will
light hair, and fair, fresh complexions
their laughing brightness, their franl;
glanccs arc as different from the cooler
and calmer look Of the hazel as light from
darkness.
Hazel eyes of light brown have a char
actcr of their own. Speaking of hazel
eyed girls. Major Noah said: GA haze
eye never elopos from her husband, novol
chats scandal, prefers his comfort to he1
own, never talks too much or too little
always is an intellectual, agreeable and
lovoly creature. The gray is the sign OF
shrcwdncss and talent Great thinkers
and captains have it. In woman it indi-
Gates 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: "Blacl1-eyed wo-
men are apt to be passionate and jealous
blue-eycd, soulful, affectionatc and conf
ding; gray-oycd, literary, philosophical,
resouto and cold hazel-cycd, hasty in
temper and inconstant in feeling"
AS the eyebrows are very closely con-
nected with the eyes in action and ox-
preston, we notice them. Eyebrows may
bo very thick or thin, fine or coarse,
smooth or bushy, archcd or straight, rogu-
lar or irregular; each form and quality
has it's special significance in reference to
temperament and character. Thick,
strong eyebrows are generally round in
connection with abundant hair on the
head and other parts of tho body, with q
full development of the motive and
temperament. When coarse, bushy and
irregular, we may expect coarsencss
harshness and uncvcnncss of character.
Thin, fine, delicate eyebrows, are indi-
cativc of fno-grained organization, and
an active if not predominant mental tenn
permanent.
Straight eyebrows arc masculine ele-
mcnts Of character; archod eyebrows arc
more common to women. Low, project
inc eyebrows indicate disccrnment, and
less directly, reflection. An eyebrow
greatly elevated, on the contrary, indi-
Gates less discernment and the absence Of
severe thought The lowering or frown-
ing of tho eyebrow indicates the exercise
of authority, especially when it takes the
form of forbidding.
The forehead-whcn tho lower portion
of the head predominates, we tind-per-
ccption in the ascendant, and there is Il
curiosity; desire to sec; q love of travel; (;
q taste for natural sciences; the ability to
describe, to learn languages, to teach, and
to become learned in matters of fact.
When the middle portion of tho fore
head is fullest, there will be memory Of
events, power of analysis, criticism, abili-
ty to classify, reason by analogy, detect
defects and cxccllcncies, and adapt ones
self to the various phrases Of life.
If the upper portion be largest, there
will be more thoughtfulncss and less OBJ
servation, moro philosophy and less
science; moro Of the abstract and meta
physical than Of the definite and practi-
CAL
If the outer portions of the upper fore
head be most developed, it indicates wit
or mirthfulncss in connection with caus-
ality.
The action Of the muscular fbrcs which.
passing down from the middle Of the fore
head, arc inserted near tho root of the
nose, .elcvates the inner eXtremities of the
brows, causing, when strong, short hori-
zontal wrinkles in the center Of the fore
head and indicates active bencvoloncc-
kindness translated into deeds.
A short thick neck indicates abundant
vitality and great tcnacity oflifc.
GEN. F. P. BLA1R.-This gentleman,
who borc a conspicuous part in behalf OF
tho Federal Government, and who is now
mallinga q brilliant fight against the Radi-
calls, took occasion in u late speech to pay
